One of the testers I had the misfortune to have experience wrote defects up as a child would. It could have been written in crayon. Obviously he only lasted a few days, but I am sure he could get away with longer on another less demanding project. These people have created the perception problem, that people like me have to repair, and tediously often. Managers should be on the lookout for “ISEB Qualified” testers - you could be hiring someone that could cost you more than you thought possible.

Steer well clear of this company - were previously known as Prosperity4, an agency I can safely say with authority are sheisters.  Rather than go on at length, check out this blagger.com thread on them.  Just goes to show additional middle man in the equation doesnt always help - its another variable …

With the intention to get a quick glance on what’s happening on the web while keeping the common newsreader clean from short-term headlines, popurls was launched in march 2006 by Thomas Marban, who is often mentioned for creating the original trend of “single page aggregators”. Rather than a tool, popurls is considered as a gate to an editorial selection of the most popular sites on the internet, presented in a usable way. After features on thousands of blogs and newspapers like the NY times, Yahoo! named it best of the web to finally enter the 30 most popular sites of all time on del.icio.us. Today, popurls is frequented more than 75.000 times each day.

The minimum and contractor/consultant expects from an agency is to be paid on time, or at least be honest when things go awry. 

This agency does neither of these things.  You will get paid in the end, but with a lot of added stress chasing up payments.  There are worse agencies, but this one should still be given a wide berth.

Stories of terrible hosting companies abound on the internet.  I was hosting my daughters blog site with them, and recently the site was shut down with no warning.  What followed was firstly attempt to use Forgotten Password on their support site - after 10 attempts and no email, I tried the live support.  The first tried to tell me that they didnt deal with that site, then pointed me to the billing site.  I informed him (politely) that I had already jumped through that hoop.  He then charmingly signed off.  I talked to another 4 operators in total, all seemingly mistified.  The last live chat helper said AQHost would send an email with details - still waiting 3 days later.  I havent mentioned the numerous online support tickets raised that werent responded to - or the fact their “helplines” were either defunct or cut out after initial intro.

Thansk to AQHost my baby daughters blogsite is lost - I still have the photos of course, but what was just as precious was the words written with those photos.

Avoid this terrible hosting companies, and yet another one to add to the hall of shame!
