They were good for a few years (though I felt compelled to pay my way out of having their ads up on my free web site). However, apparently they were bought out by someone who now holds my domain hostage. They refuse to even discuss any services related to my domain name. They will not answer the phone, they will not answer my emails, and they will not give me my domain name back.
This is really a decent platform where you can publish yourself online. For some odd reason, the CommunityArchitect site no longer offers free sub-domains on its own domain name (only your own domain name if you have one), and you have to use one of their partners (co-branded hosts) to use their subdomain.
I have had seven sites with this host for several years and was more than happy with it. I upped the ante and paid for having no ads, which is not much but is a factor for those non-profit organizations. Lately, though, I am very saddened by the downtime over the past six to eight months (close to 11 solid days out of 20 this month alone) and their total lack of response to e-mails (no read receipt return, either) and complaint forms. Their posted phone number was answered by a woman who hung up on me, then rang with no answering machine and later was busied. This is not what I would come to expect of them – in the past they’d gone out of their way to be patient and helpful. I do not know what has happened, but I regret to say that I am no longer recommending them and am now seeking other hosting solutions. I gave them a 5 rating being hopeful that they might return to their earlier reliability.
