I just want to say that David’s response up there is solid. It is hard to read / hear criticism – especially when you probably don’t agree with it – and maintain such a professional tone. I know nothing about this situation, but read this thread over and thought it was worth commenting on.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was under the impression that a dedicated IP address meant a dedicated server as well. Completely forgot about virtual servers. Though having a dedicated IP is better than none at all!

“Though a bit pricey, the best thing about this host is it provides you a dedicated IP address so you are not on a shared server.”

Well, be advised that having a dedicated IP address does not mean that you are not hosted on a shared server. Actually, for the price mentioned above there is no other option but a shared hosting server … or maybe a very crappy VPS .

Still, good post, good luck with your hosting.

We don’t place ourselves at the top of the review list, we’ve simply arrived there as a result of positive reviews.

At certain points in the sites’ history (Hostjury, that is) we’ve been as far low as 5th as a result of other providers inching above. I had no problem either way even if we’re rated lower but most clients seem to think we do a great job — there’s the odd one that disagrees but that is the nature of any service.

As for Hostjury, it was launched prior to our purchase of Fused Network as I believe I iterated above. If we could separate the two further, I would. I’d love to rid of hostjury and spend more time catering directly to my clients at Fused Network.

At first, I was worried about this post before signing up with Fused, but I’ve been with Fused for a month or two now. I had a horrible experience with Eleven2 when they lost my wife’s website due to corruption (they claim that they backup sites). When I spoke to David on the phone, he was very patient and answered ALL my questions.

I was with them for two years and unfortunately, I have recommended many of my friends to go with Eleven2. I’m urging them to move off Eleven2 when I can.

Granted, hosting is a hit or miss, but my experience has been totally opposite of yours. David his support site have been very helpful in transferring my sites from Eleven2 and Fused answered my support tickets within a few minutes. On the other hand, Eleven2 would wait a day or two before responding.

I am not affiliated with any hosting company, but my sites are happily running on the Fused Network. Their FTP doesn’t drop like Eleven2 and the Fused Network connection is fast.

Sounds like another fake review like all those fake reviews David puts up for fusednetwork.com on his hostjury.com site. Just look at all those reviews, they look great, heck even I got taken in by it. Then I found out David McKendrick also owns the same review site and it made sense how such a rude little man could get so many good reviews.

What a joke of a one-man company.

I highly DON’T recommend fused network, what respectable company owns a review site that puts their own company as the best?

Its not often I comment on things, but I thought I would share my experience with fused network.

I have never had any problems at all, all my answers are always answered well, and very quickly, even with the time difference here in New Zealand, its a shame you had a bad experience with them, and I have had the total opposite, and quite happily recommend them to everyone.

I’ve also had a very un-professional experience with David from Fused Network. They run it like a 1 man company. And get this, I found out they run both Fused Networks and Hostjury. Look at the posts on Hostsjury’s blog, that’s the same David.

Bunch of scammy, shady reviews too putting them at #1.

I love that comment, real professional David

What “great” manners from our Canadian neighbors to the North.
