Machighway.com Down

I'm about to switch web hosts. I've spent over a month with Hosting Zoom trying to configure Mail to work with their IMAP system! It does not work and they do not know how to support Mac users. I was looking at Machighway.com and about to make the switch, but I checked their website today and it's down! What is happening? I'm also considering Media Temple and Host Gator. Basically I want a host with great customer service with phone support, IMAP e-mail, and multiple domain support. Is that too much too ask?

Thanks,

Alexander

As for ISP's you may want to try www.1and1.com. They support Linux servers which should be pretty much in line with MacOS X. Give them a call and see what they can do for you.

Re: Machighway.com Down

Hi Quietus, sorry I'm not a web expert so I'm not sure what to look for in that data. Is there something that should make me weary?

Hanguolaohu,

Nothing to be weary about. Your message stated that you could not get in touch with these guys and I got their contact info for you. There is another thread elsewhere about ISP's going down without a trace; if anything you should be careful in choosing ISP's. Did you check out www.1and1.com? Let all of us know if they can help you with the mac specific needs you are looking for.

Good luck!

Re: Machighway.com Down

I try to avoid huge corporations if I can as they seem mostly evil, except for Apple or Google of course

I just remember reading a lot of bad flack about 1 & 1 that turned me off. The same with Go Daddy.

I just signed up with Host Gator, seems like a no-brainer as they have 24/7 phone support based in the US, and give 600GB of space for only $9.95 monthly. I called their support as a test and they seemed pretty good. Time will tell....
