A customer of mine is thinking of moving from their current Hosting company after an extended period of dissatisfactory service. An Irish based hosting company, LetsHost.ie, has been suggested to them and I don't know what to say. I have never heard of them before, never mind done business with them!

Has anybody got any experience of working with these guys?

I Used them before and I suggest you stay away! Terrible customer service when I was with them.

oh dear, that sounds very definitely like a bad experience. When did this happen? Last month, last year, last decade?? What problems did you encounter that required support?

I've never hosted with them, but all my .ie domains are with them, and I've always found them to be very helpful.

I'm sure every host will have some pain points, so hopefully this adds some balance.

Isn't letshosts the guys who took down woodentoys.ie for discussing them on a forum?

Letshost.ie suspended my hosting without notice. - boards.ie

I wouldn't host with these guys after hearing about this. As Richard says, every host has it's good points and bad (as well as customer reviews). However, what they did to woodentoys was shocking.

Couldn't recommend Web hosting Ireland, hosting ireland / irish web site hosting Ireland / domain registration, dedicated servers, colocation - Blacknight Solutions: Blacknight Solutions enough - excellent support and service.

Rgds,

No, they seem to be using Digiweb at the moment:

niall@ernie:~$ host letshost.ie
letshost.ie has address 78.137.164.40

As such are they not just a reseller ? similar to myself :P

I offer customers hosting either through me or with their provider of choice ...

Yes I'm just using one of the irish crowds ... but I guess I don't offer domain names directly though me

inetnum: 78.137.164.0 - 78.137.165.255
netname: LETSHOST-CORE
descr: LetsHost
country: IE

There is a whole /23 assigned to them (510 usable addresses) so more than likely they're just using Digiweb for Colo of their servers or they have dedicated servers from Digiweb. I'd go with Colo.

Of course there is no way to be 100% sure. The whole /23 could be routed to an Amiga at the end of a Digiweb DSL line for all we know
