Domain.com hosting thoughts?

Anyone use Domain.com for their hosting and had luck? Kinda hard to search the forums with domain.com here as that's used for a generic name.

Web Hosting deletes accounts and does not respond to support tickets

I have a very unusual problem to report and I welcome your advice.

I own a reseller account with TMaxHost.

On Friday 18 December I deleted a number of unused accounts by using WHM > Multi Account Functions > Terminate Multiple Accounts.

I had used these accounts for testing and I did not need them any longer.

At the end of the procedure I listed the remaining accounts by using WHM > Account Information > List Accounts and all my main accounts were there, while the tests accounts that I deleted were gone.

So far so good.

A few hours later I found out that all my main accounts (with the exception of one) had disappeared.

I logged on a support ticket with TMaxHost, who responded that I deleted the accounts but they refused to give any proof of that - for instance the lines of the server log.

I know for sure that I did not delete my main accounts, but only my test accounts.

TMaxHost asked me username and password for the accounts to restore and I send them straight away.

That was the last time they replied to that support ticket.

I posted a few more messages asking them to give me an update, but no response.

I therefore opened a new ticket with Support, asking some explanation.

A day later both tickets had somehow disappeared - I still have the automatic emails that I received when I opened them.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND HOSTICAN.COM

I have found a lot of value in the forums, so I wanted to share my personal experience with Hostican:

For over a year I hosted my websites with Hostican. On 12/7/09, at approx. 12pm I realized that my websites had been turned off and were not available. I immediately tried to contact Hostican to resolve the problem by calling their phone line, but only received an answering message and a message that they “We’re Experiencing High Call Volume”. When I went to their website I realized I was unable to login into my account. I continued to call them and sent them inquiries via the contact form on their website.

Please note that on their website they clearly advertise and market that they Guarantee: “24/7/365 Phone & Email Support”.

Why would a host want to upgrade to php5.2 from php 5.1.6?

Hi guys,
We're having an issue install drupal 7. We get to the first page "select an install profile" and it appears not to load the template (Its a white page with only 1 blank option to select that doesn't do anything). I don't know if this is related but we recently found out our host only has php 5.1.6?
