Question Interland ?

Anyone hear of the company called Interland ? They are suppose to be a big webhost provider. I am with a small company now, that has 6 T1 lines. And Interland has OC3, but many more customers
They say going with them will give me the fastest connection possible . 24/7 support, ect
PC Magazine and Windows NT magazine rated them #1
Just not sure if I should make the switch to a bigger company (which is alot less money), when the one I have now, takes very good care of me.
Any feedback on this.
Posting this in General Discussion because it is your home as well, and you should have a say.

How about subscribe a DSL and host it yourself?

our software firm partnered with interland for hosting services but in the end negated the deal due to hoky pricings and agreements by interland. just to let you know...

I've become a big fan of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" saying since I entered the computer industry a few years back. I haven't heard of the company you mention, but web-hosting is a vast and growing field (as I'm sure you're already aware). If you already get good service (and as far as I can tell on this end, you do... site is never down, speed is usually great...), and you aren't eating up that much bandwidth anyway (1084 members isn't tiny, but it's not exactly chomping up the band), then why change. Granted, I don't know the dollar amount you look at saving, but if you post costs of site upkeep (and I understand that may not be something you really car to do... I wouldn't either), it would really make this easier to answer en masse.

F**ING RUN. Interland support sucks. Only good if you don't ever need them for anything. OC3 is nice but honestly how much traffic are you doing? Thats the key. And to further that most hosting providers will blindly throtle your site. Check you PMs as I told you I could help.
