The domain name registration and management services are working very well for me. My website requirements are very basic so the service is fine. The servers are quite a bit slower than at the host I use for my clients, though. |

A complete nightmare start to finish. SQL servers are flaky at best, I experienced proxy errors they were unwilling to even look into, and tech support is little more then a few guys. Stay away...far, far away. |

Their MySQL is always slow and often unavailable, making WordPress fail with database connection errors often. My entire site (not just the WordPress portion) has been completely down on several occasions over the past six weeks. |

Netfirms is a SCAM. They offer you a lot of disk space and bandwidth but you will never be able to use them. Their MySQL server sucks. Every time you get few visitors on your site. You’ll keep get MySQL connection errors. |

DO NOT USE if you want MYSQL reliability. Your MYSQL server just shuts down after any nominal load. 3 days to respond on any support issue. AVOID like the plague. |

We've been looking to switch off of netfirms now for a variety of reasons. They claim they have PHP 5.0, for example, but in fact, do not have it linked on their servers--it's there, it just isn't what will be used. You'll get 4.0. But they'll tell you |

As long as you never need support, NetFirms is fine. But if you need support, you might as well kill yourself! They have no phone support, and their email support takes days (literally), that is if they respond at all. Stay away from them! |

Webmail does not work!
They cancel services like cgi-bin without notifying the customer!
Technical support totally ignores questions! |
