Do not host your sites in Piensa Solutions

September 2008: euro is very strong and dollar weak, which makes hosting of web sites very cheap in the US. Anyway, for Rails hosting, the offer is very limited in Europe ...

Even if the cost of the service is important, what's matter most for a web site hosting is the quality of of the service and especially the response time and skills of the help desk.

Let me tell a story about Piensa Solutions. Some I know had an important web site hosted by them, theychose them because they claim 33 000 customers with 150 000 hosted sites.

Because of a mistake of their billing departement, they decided to "stop" their server without any warning and they needed more than 2 hours to reply. This is the email they sent:

Piensa Solutions

Estimado cliente:

Te informamos que en estos momentos tu hosting se encuentras cortado por impago ya que tiene pendiente una factura asociada al servicio, la X****. En el momento en que se abone dicha factura, a lo largo del día se reactivarán los servicios de tu alojamiento.

Estamos a tu disposición para cualquier consulta o aclaración al respecto.

Un saludo,

Basicly, they say that:

"You did not pay a bill so we cut your service" ...

Count your lucky stars! 26 hours ago I reported that my domain e-mail was down (contracted with Piensa Solutions) and no response yet and e-mail accounts still don't work (not even webmail).

This is the worst hosting company ever!
