Wana talk about BAD hosting companies, JCSHosting.ca sucks as we paid him in full, we needed the “quote 24 hr tech support” he offers, for 22 days we could not get help, Then pulled my domain off for 1 month at Christmas, Then said he would refund us, didn’t happen, then deleted my data and contacts I paid him to store, so I said the heck with that, this is fraud, started to have him charged, then he sends us an email stating if we promise not to have him charged and sign it and return it, he would give back all our data THATS BLACKMAIL! Wana get screwed Visit Jason Farris at JCSHosting.ca in New Brunswick Canada, Jason if you read this I suggest you get a real good LAWYER!

I am disgusted at all of these scammers. I am glad I have never experienced such problems with any of my hosts, excluding HostQUE. I tried them, their servers were experiencing a whole lot of downtime, although their support was poor, they were very nice people. It seems understaffed. I am happy now with MingledHost where my headaches have become a thing of the past

It’s shocking that you hear so many tales of nightmare web hosting companies. I’m lost for words over Stephan’s comment.

Please check reviews for Webcreationuk.com

They are piling up, and the service is positively awful. They should, with out a doubt be in your bottom 13.

Some reviews are puzzling, and I’m worried they are planted by friends of employees, or fictitious entries made by the company. They bare no correlation to the current low standards of performance. For the sake of any new applicant from being drawn into this company, please investigate.

Add NPSIS to your list of worst webhosts. They were good, once upon a time before they were sold, but now they are the worst of the worst? How bad are they?

1). No phone tech support. They *claim* that they are available weekdays (no weekends or evenings) 8 AM – 5:30 PM. When you can get through, you get a recording and then put on hold for all eternity. I tried calling them today and got alternating busy signals or messages that the number wasn’t available.

2). They transferred my website to another, even worse, hosting service called Tons of Websites without notification or permission. TOW doesn’t respond to anything.

3). I’ve been trying to access the control panel of my site, which NPSIS claims I can still do from their site. However, using the correct user name and password to access the C panel, which was verified by NPSIS, I get a message stating that the information is incorrect.

4). They have a live tech chat option on their site that never works. Meaning that you get no real-time help.

There are so many other things I can list, like the problems with billing that seem to crop up every six months or so. Website down time, rudeness/lack of knowledge by tech support during the rare times you do get through to them.

I’m putting the word out so that others don’t fall victim to this shoddy company. When Wachovia agrees with you and is working with you to get monies returned, you know it must be bad!

Instead of simply canceling or suspending your services 1&1 Internet aka http://www.1and1.com will send you to collections if your credit card is declined or expires. They will ruin your personal credit report. 1and1.com refuses to accept payment directly and claims there is nothing they can do. 1&1 has the worst customer service and would rather ruin someones credit for $30 than try to keep a customer who has paid them almost $1000! 1&1 has the worst business and poorest customer service and draconian collection tactics of any web hosting company.

I’m not sure one of the following sites got 520 Bad Reviews, they’re way shadier than that. Please add priorityonehost.com, alpha1hosting.com, and anywherehost.com: they’re all the same entity.

There servers were up most of the time: no problems there, but they are condescending as&*oles who, when I decided to leave, billed me for $2300, claiming that I violated a contract.

In every conversation I had with them, they insulted someone. At first, when I called for support, they insulted other clients (though never by name), and, in the end, they threatened and insulted me.

Poor, unprofessional company…avoid all of their web entities at all costs. If you’re with them, good luck.

[...] Kaip matote, nesistatysime pas save ofise dar vieno kompelio ir nehostinsim savo klientams saitų, nes norime, kad visi gautų tik kokybiškas paslaugas už priimtiną rinkos kainą ir džiaugtųsi naudodamiesi. Taip pat nenorime atsidurti šiame liste [...]

I believe that you can also add HostPapa.com to the above list. They have horrible customer service (helpline almost always goes to voicemail and their online chat gets disconnected when you ask them tough questions).

You can find many threads online about the overcharging by HostPapa. I wish I had read those comments before I signed up with them. Beware of Host papa!!

Please add this company to your list:
http://www.bodhost.co.uk

We have a VPS server which keeps running our of memory because they don’t give the limit you paid for. Once that happen the server crash and stay offline untill I request on technical support for restart it.

That’s the only thing the technical guys know, restart the server…

Once we complained proving our memory usages with detailled stadistics they started blaiming their hardware node and didn’t solve anything.

Don’t get scammed by those people, we’re currently looking for another provider but looking on forums for opinions this time….

If you still have access to your client area, transfer your domain out of there to another hosting comapny. After this you can point the nameservers to your new hosting you must have procured. Will you let me know your site’s domain name or URL? If there is something I can do, then we’ll know. Hope this does a little?

I have a very bad experience with 1&1. I have thought I have paid their last bill which I had to pay under duress. They have again sent me another bill despite my log being disabled through the admin (per my request to cancel) and that all the domain names that I have indicate delete on their system.
I am realy pissed up with these folks and I thaink that they are simply ripoffs. Do yo know who I can report them to?
Please email me with this information as they are stressing me mentally.
I want to look at all my options.
I really will appreciate this.
