Why has Register1 gone down the pan?

im assuming Jamie sold it on (from what I have heard and read here and facebook) and now someone has now taken over.

jamie has indeed sold it on and is now only involved with serverstream IIRC, i've not had issues with R1 though since the takeover.

Reg1 is Serverstream.

Jamie says he sold R1 on this topic: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

He may have just sold part of it off. It was vaguely the same time his F40 arrived

Still? I presumed he'd sold it to another company?

[Mattt]

Serverstream was always the actual entity and I assume the more valuable component of the deal compared to Reg1 judging by the offerings of the two.

but I wondered if he'd sold the brand and is now just doing co-location/managed hosting rather than the lower end stuff.
Maybe he has sold half and has someone else doing the day to day?

[miniman]

Both were sold.

My mail server is down now. Anyone else?

They're doing emergency maintenance until around midnight.

Yeh It's been a common occurrence for the last few weeks and my site's been up and down like a we's draws too. (Can you say that these days?).

I'm another one migrating to TSOHost ASAP.

Why do we have to do this every few years? Can't there be just one hosting company who keeps their QOS high all the time?

As it's been bumped.

I moved a month ago and have gone from a dedicated server with 2gb of ram costing £150 a month to a VDS with 768mb costing £40 a month, and my site had not once crashed and is faster than ever.

The support is much better and go over and above what you ask.

I didn't receive that mail, but that does explain it! Not to worry. I'm paid up until 22 March, and I've already spoken to TSOhost about migrating so I'll action that on Friday or Monday. I'm fed up with the constant disruption now.

Getting a lot of 'Connection dropped by IMAP server' when logging into SquirrelMail over the web and mail on my laptop is painfully slow plus keeps failing all together. Currently its simply failing to access and download emails..

Think I am paid up for another 18 months though..

[FurtiveFreddy]

I'm with TSOHost now. Painless so far but migration not completed yet.
Very glad I decided to go with monthly renewals on Register1...

Had this for several weeks and they said it was me doing it and nothing to do with their servers... currently working ok, but I will move in April as I dont need to kept being told that its something Im doing that is causing issues, when I have followed all their instructions to the letter on setup and all they can do is tell me the same thing over and over again.

Even got blamed for not using Squirrel and routing it through my mac/outlook.

I get this now and again, it tends to be really bad for a day or two and then goes away. Never worked out what was causing it.

Me too, I got 3 years for the price of 2. I only went with Register1 because everyone on PH said how brilliant it was...

I made the switch yesterday, although they're still transferring my data across at the moment so we're not fully migrated yet. I'm paid up with Reg1 until 22 March, but I wanted to build in a bit of extra time in case of problems. And TSOhost are a lot cheaper anyway.

They used to be excellent. They've only gone downhill in the past few months.

[Du1point8]

just as everyone is mentioning email issues Im now getting returned emails saying that are not being sent but are still sending.. how annoying is this service now.

Used to be good and now its going downhill.
