Where to begin? I have been a Sys Admin for nearly 30 years, design/develop software too. Okay so about 5 years ago I began hosting some of my clients with Aplus hosting (peaked at 37+ sites). I was relatively pleased as I seldom had issues from a co location perspective. Then about a year ago things began to deteriorate.
I now am down to three sites remaining with Amateur Plus.net. Which I shall relocate by end of this week.
They caused some serious loss of business for some folks and more than enough frustration for myself and my staff. It took me over a month just to regain access to our MS SQL DB - they changed instances without any notification! Imagine that and they call themselves technical experts. All of sudden none I repeat none of our usernames/passwords would authenticate - try and contact their technical support when you really need them and get a resolution - not going to happen folks.
To summarize I would not recommend Aplus.net hosting to anyone!
