Chillidog hosting. Problems with the new Exact Hosting Service

I’m having nite mares with the new hosting service that took over from Chillidog.
Weeks on and I still cannot connect with the server to publish sites.
No phone support - I’ve wasted 5 hours on this again over the weekend.
The chat box is the only way to talk to them and I was on there for 2 hours on Saturday. It still wasn’t fixed. In the end, i used Ai and got into the root folder via the server ip address.
Someone here must have also transferred over as well - if so what server address did you use? They gave me hera.exacthosting.com:21 this crashes RW , when i try to save. It’s not RW ( other client websites will publish and save to their own hosting accounts ). It’s not my settings as Cyber duck wont connect either ( this happens at work and at home - two different internet accounts )
So wondered who else has been moved to Exact ?

The problem is that as i have to update clients sites , if i get another problem in the future, they won’t or cant fix it, where does that leave me.

Hi @leigh

We’ve unfortunately heard nothing but horror stories from old Chillidog customers who have been forced over to Exact hosting due to the recent acquisition. :cry:

Hey @leigh,

Sorry you’re having so much trouble.

I was with Dreamhost until last week when I switched to Elements Hosting. The differences in speed are noticeable.

The migration was really easy and I didn’t run into any technical issues. I use Transmit to manage my files and had no issues.

Support is great. It’s worth considering if you want your web hosting to just work in the background without having to think about it much.

I don’t think anyone works there on weekends. Did you open a ticket?

Really?!?! Faster!! Wow

I’m with DreamHost - for about a year now - for 30 years on pair.com

Noticed the huge change - for me

Ticket? - oh yes !! they said they had made a change to the server on Sunday night, but it still doesn’t work. So its now Tuesday and heard nothing back. There is no sense of urgency at all to be honest. This isn’t about whether the hosting is good or bad, its about the fact I havent been able to publish change to clients sites since chillidog sold out. Which is quite a while now. This must be across the board. But why would someone buy another company and immediately lose all the new clients?? very odd. You’d think they would try to impress.

Thank you

Consider leaving them behind and moving to another hosting company, as I did: Elements Hosting. Works like a charm.
