I have a mini site hosted with UrgentHost and in the past two weeks it seems that my site was down more time than on. Plus their site (urgenthost.com) is always down.
Anyone, using their server?

I got bitten by them too. I am in the process of moving my site to a new host. Here is an open letter that was posted to them on several hosting & WM boards:
"As an UrgentHost user, I thought I would put in my two cents. Last month, UrgentHost.Com was down quite a bit. As a matter of fact, the site that I have hosted with you was also down. On eleven separate days my site was down, and on two of those days it was down ALL day.
Of course, I immediately contacted your support department. At least, I tried to. Your web site assured me of a prompt response to my e-mail, and yet I am still waiting for a response from you. This is not considered prompt where I am from.
Oh, yeah. Where ARE you from? Your street address in your DNS records indicates you are located in Waycross, GA. Your telephone number, however, is in Illinois. When I attempted to contact you at this number regarding my site, it turned out to be a fax.
It doesn't add up. To date, the only thing you have done in an "urgent" manner is bill me.
So. I applaud you on your site design skills. Bravo. Well done. It is a shame that it's just a lot of smoke. The service behind the pretty pages leaves much to be desired."
Draw your own conclusions.

Thanks.
I too will move my mini site as soon as I can locate a host that knows what a DNS table is, that has server sided stats and that is under $10.00 per month.
Anyone?
