Registering & hosting .ie


I also find it rather annoying. It seems no one can talk about anything to do with hosting or domains without one (or both) of the big two hosting companies coming along and advertising their services.

If I was a mortgage broker, and I advertised my services every time someone asked a question about houses, I would have been banned a long time ago.

I do not understand why hosts are allowed freely pimp their services.

Even on a basic level, both hosts come across very badly in their replies, and always degrade topics into tit for tat fight, and generally ruin most hosting or domain related topics.

I know both hosts will come along now and say they are not advertising their services, but rather are offering helpful advice, but we all know every post they make is either about how big they are or how unreliable or small the competition are.

If you read the full thread again you will find that in the majority of cases, the Irish hosts are only replying to posts by other members who insist on telling everyone to go to the US, UK or India, etc. for their services, or to clarify misleading statements made by members about Irish prices/services etc. In my opinion they are perfectly entitled to do this regardless of the medium or platform.

The OP clearly stated the names of at least two Irish companies he was considering. In my opinion that justifies the inclusion of those respective members in the conversation.
 

Hi,

Is the automated solution in place now for migrating existing customers or do they all still need to know that they need to contact you to manually migrate to the correctly priced plans.

I have been watching your website for details and have seen nothing yet.
