Looks like they're down again!! Can't seem to find their tech support number either :mad:

Anyone else having probs with them?

Hmm, I think it's their database servers. I can access html/php pages, but nothing connected to the database. My content managed site is hurting!

Yeah, the SQL server has wandered off again for me, it looks a bit nastier than the usual disappearances this time, though. This pretty much reaffirms my need to change host.

Yeah. I always told everyone they were good, but to be honest I've had more problems with them then I've had with any other host (apart from a free one, but there's not much in it!!) Maybe time to open a "suggest me a new host" thread, for the poor fasthost customers

Was anyone clever enough to write down their tech support number? I can't find it and I want to ask some questions.

I've never had any major problems with fasthosts. Every major hosting company experiences some faults from time to time.

Yeah, their site is down. Although I just tried their webmail thingy and that works for me. My Emails are working fine.

This is my second outage this year. The other was during the world cup and they were down all day.

My site's back up now.

Same here.

Does anyone know if Fasthosts publish news about their problems and fixes?
