They&#8217;ve double-charged me for hosting for January-April. They don&#8217;t post a phone number, so I have to go through their web-based support tickets. I must say that their turnaround time and response quality are horrible. Between the service when something goes wrong and the fact that my server was up and down a lot in March, I&#8217;m seriously condsidering moving hosting providers back to <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.avidhosting.com\">Avid<\/a>.

There was a mix up with our enrollment where they originally thought something wasn&#8217;t covered, but it was and we had to file the claim ourselves as Mary&#8217;s dentist doesn&#8217;t file claims (gee, I wonder why?). We&#8217;ve gone back and forth with them about 5 times now about what is required for the claim ($1600, I might add). We had the dentist send x-rays. UH claims not to have them in their system even though they &#8220;have a record of receiving something&#8221;. Getting an insurance company to pay for a legitimate charge in a reasonable amount of time is a nightmare. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really getting fed up with all of this crap.
