After 4 months of my website going down many times each day, 3ix still would not resolve the issue.
The site would go down for 5 minutes, and by the time livechat picked up it would be up, all they would say it "Your site looks fine. I don't see the problem." and refused to take any steps to ensure my site would not go down again.
Then, after inquiring about it too much, they terminated my hosting account for no reason. I lost my website, all my files, databases, etc. They also would not refund me for the 3/4ths of a year left on my hosting account, and IP banned me from their livechat so I cannot inquire into transferring my domain.
The following conversations are back to back from that day:
1.)
Help24x7: Welcome to 3iX live chat, my name is Eric, please hold for a moment, I am reviewing your question.
Help24x7: your site is working fine now
John: Yep. I know that.
John: It goes down throughout the day.
John: It was down 30 minutes ago
John: I'm really fed up with this.
Help24x7: Is there anything else I can help you with?
John: This problem is not resolved.
Help24x7: your site is working fine now
John: No, my site is not working fine. It's going down throughout the day. The fact that it's currently up means nothing. The past 3 months it's been going down throughout the day, every single day.
John: It's still going down throughout the day.
John: So no this problem is not resolved.
Help24x7: it is fixed now
John: How is it fixed?
John: What did you change?
Help24x7: restarted the server
