1) After going through the signup process, I had to keep sending email asking "what's my logon information?" before being supplied with it. Most hosting companies I've dealt with in the past send this information within an hour after signup.
2) Even though I had specified FrontPage server extensions, the extensions were not correctly configured until after a lengthy correspondence, incurring days of delay in obtaining access via Visual Studio .Net.
3) Performance has been nothing to write home about. Another hosting company with which I do business provides better performance, to say nothing of customer support.
4) Repeated requests to cancel the account have thus far been ignored, although VIA NET.WORKS states on their site that enquiries will be handled within hours.
5) The overall impression is that of a company with good marketing skills but poor technical skills. It looks to me as though they take a bargain-basement approach to staffing.
6) I signed up with VIA NET.WORKS because of their featured position in the Microsoft Visual Studio .Net Start Page. DO NOT trust what you see in Visual Studio .Net when it comes to hosting providers: it lists some of the most expensive and least customer-friendly firms I've encountered.
