What was the matter with Domainsite? I never experienced any problems.
Maybe 2 or 3 times a year domainsite would go down, leaving our sites inaccessible. Sometimes they would take a few days to come back up.
They've botched our mail delivery at different times so that we don't receive mail. And there's nothing to tell you when you aren't receiving the mail either.
Recently, they've misdelivered mail messages intended for me and others on the caravelgames.com domain to random people that would never have even heard of Caravel.
They shut down our domains in response to noticing a high volume of mail being delivered by *OUR* mail server (not theirs). Their only input from the situation was the hits against the MX DNS record on their server, yet they chose to classify us as spammers and claim we had breached their terms of service agreement. Our websites, e-commerce, mail--anything that relied on their domain records, was shut down without the slightest warning. I had to plead with some self-righteous jerk on the phone to let us keep our domain records up. This is why you now receive bulk e-mails from "
caravelgames3.com"
instead of the more obvious "
caravelgames.com"
.
We only stayed with them as long as we have, because it is a pain in the ass to transfer domains, and there was always so much other more important Caravel work waiting to get done.
