BLOG*SPOT SUCKS

James Joyner | Monday, March 31, 2003

Well, I have finally grown tired of Blog*Spot’s inability to maintain adequate server capacity and redundancy. It was bad enough when I was using their free service; it is simply theft when they’re charging for it. Not only is the site totally down or inordinately slow way too often but they offer virtually no customer support. I’ve submitted customer service queries days ago and still not heard back.

Anyone thinking of paying for their “upgraded” service should stop thinking about it right now. Don’t do it.

I’ll be switching to a real hosting service in the next few days. I’ll keep you posted when I get a new URL.
