Arvixe is the worst
I booked my VPS from Arvixe more than two weeks ago, The server is down most of the time, Every time i speak with the support i get nothing, he tells me hold on and after one hour he tells me that he couldn't connect to my Node, and a server administrator will solve this issue for me and i will open a ticket for you.
I have tickets that has been added four days ago, and NO one replays me as usual although it is Urgent Situation.
Yesterday, i have chatted with their support more than 2 and half hours, and as usual he didn't solve anything and opened a ticket for me.
Also yesterday, even while all the sites were down, the vps load was 9 !!!!!, How come ?!!! i don't know and i didn't get any replay from them.
Really one of the most worst companies that i have dealt with. Biggest Pro: Nothing Biggest Con: Their Support and everything, I really got shocked from their service

Pathetic performance
Excruciatingly slow and shockingly erratic.
And I'm not talking of facebook or ebay type of website, people !
I'm talking of about 25 static html pages ranging from 5KB to 50KB.
Even the worst of the Free-Hosting guys can do this without errors.
So imagine my chagrin when I hear " Hey, your site's down again "
more frequently than " Hi ! Good Morning ! "
Imagine Bach, Beethoven etc being played by London Philharmonic
on the streetside, and your neighbour asks you money to hear him
attempt to sing in his bathroom. ( He didn't ? He would, if his name
was Arvixe ! )
I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but I know ( now ) whom not to
trust with hosting a website. ( Your Mileage Will NOT Vary ;-)

Hello,
I do apologize for any issues you may have had using our service. As a shared service provider we do employ some of the best hardware in the industry.
However, it is shared hosting, and as such it's not always perfect. We do monitor every service on every server every minute to minimize the deficiencies, and impacts that one account can have on another.
Often times, simply opening a ticket, or contacting us via live chat can resolve such issues. Furthermore, you can request to have your ticket escalated to our server management team, or by simply emailing qa [at] arvixe.com.
Once again, I apologize for any issues, and would look forward to the opportunity to resolve such issues. Thank you! |

Unreliable hosting. No way to get a refund for unused time
Signed up with them for a year, cancelled after 3 months.
Very unreliable service. My website was down too often and for too many hours. Control Panel was inaccessible too.
Arvixe blamed the failing application pool, then DDoS. Their customer support is very responsive and polite, but not really helpful.
Finally, couldn't take it anymore and cancelled my account. Arvixe refused to refund me for unused time referring to their 60 days money-back policy. Biggest Con: down too often

Hello,
I apologize for the inconvenience, and the issues you faced with your account with Arvixe.
I've reviewed the monitoring logs on your server for the past two months, and can only find a combined outage of about 4 minutes.
Perhaps your application was crashing the websites dedicated application pool?
Also, I did manage to find your account and see that you received a 100% refund on your account, and also received a free domain name.
If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact us via qa [at] arvixe.com. Thank you! |

Recommend Arvixe.com
My partners and I, in the past 10 years, have tried more than a dozen web hosting companies. I am very happy to have found Arvixe as I believe they are one of the best web hosting companies with the best tech support. The tech support are able to help you quickly in their online chat and solve the issue quickly. Some of the webhosting companies we used before you would have to wait a very long time or wait for their reply in email which sometimes took more than a few days. For our needs, we need fast response time to solve the issue which Arvixe has been good. So I would recommend Arvixe for those who want reliable web hosting. Biggest Pro: Fast and available online tech support. Biggest Con: Wish they could have more discounted plans

Wouldn't recommend
My hosting with arvixe was alright for like a year, then I got one suspension after the other. They say it's because there were corrupt files. Which I do understand that have to be cleared out before having a live site but serious I have the SAME website as a backup at another hosting, same gallery and html files and nothing happens here. Frankly I took that other hosting in case I get suspended again!
I'm highly considering to transfer all my domains from Arvixe to another host. Support sucks too, it's alright when you have a small thing going on like when you have forgot your password. But when you need a reply from the management you can wait for it for like a week! Chat support, well they are either unfriendly or they just send you to another one who claims to fix it and they can't.
And honestly I do doubt about the security of their servers!

Hello, I'm sorry for the issues you've encountered. While I'm not sure why your account would be suspended for 'corrupt files', as this causes no problems with the server, I can imagine that having an insecure scripts that's outdated would cause security issues. This attracts people uploading Paypal, and bank phishing pages through the insecurities of the script. It's very important to keep open source and free software updated to the very latest version at all times as these are huge targets for this type of abuse. If you would like me to look into this further, please email us at qa [at] arvixe.com. Thank you! |

Arvixe sucks!
I purchased an upgrade from personal class to business class. The staff messed up my website during the transfer and closed out my personal class account before verifying that the websites are working properly on the business class account. Despite many many attempts to reach someone, I still could find someone to work on the issue (there goes to 24/7 support)! I am stuck with the website not working for over a week now. The error is telling me that there are some critical information missing. It is my whole year worth of work!! I was able to successfully migrate this website before from one personal class account to another MYSELF. It blew me away that the technical staff could be so incompetent to mess it up, and so not responsible to not verify the migration actually worked. Biggest Con: Incompetent customer service and technical support

We're sorry for your issues. As you've outlined yourself, the best person to migrate any website is yourself. We do have a website transfer policy outlined at http://www.arvixe.com/ftp.php which does outline that we strongly recommend the customer themselves migrate a site. The main reasoning behind this is that as we are not the site owners, we are not sure what exactly needs to be "verified" as your review requests. Only the website owner or the web designer of the website would know all the different areas of the website that need to be tested.
Furthermore, as not environments are similar, it is possible that the same website may not work the same on a different server. We do always need the web developer of the site to be involved even if we are doing the migration to identify what is required on the server side to get the site they have created working.
As you have not identified a domain name or email address and no last name, I have not been able to identify your site or issue on our support system. Please email your ticket ID/issue to qa .at. arvixe.com so we can get it resolved for your ASAP.
****To potential customers, we have repeatedly attempted to contact WebHostingReviews.com in regards to their biased positioning of our reviews. WebHostingReviews has thus far received dozens of good reviews in regards to our services as reported by our customers. However, all of them have not been approved due to the fact that there is an affiliate relationship between WebHostingReviews.com and the hosts that do have a large number of positive reviews on this site. Many of those who have reported reviews here and have been verified as our customers have had their issues resolved and asked WebHostingReviews.com to remove their reviews with no response.**** |

No 24/7 support, Not Unlimited
They say everything is unlimited, it is not. Could not get anyone on email or phone during the weekends for critical issues. Avoid.

Incompetent Support
I had hosted a huge static site with arvixe and read reviews claiming the service is good. and thus decided to host other site with them again and on a vps, what a mistake that was.
It cost the company so much to move all the site over , and then discovered that all the email scripts didnt work, and had to change all the sites with this problem, because arvixe couldnt /wouldnt make the vps supoort CDONTS,
and also the language encoding has a serious problem and the .mdb cant support the lang. on the new windows server.
And arvixe does noting about it after multiple requests. & you have to set up stats for each account, the chat support is pathetic/ clueless and they make you wait 15miniutes for one question, told them about that too.....
And now i'm stuck with them, coz it will cost the company to much again to move to another server. and all the email scripts are set differently.
Now i live and dred hearing issue regarding asp site's cox i know i have to do with arvixe Biggest Pro: price Biggest Con: support

We are quite sorry to hear about your issues. I also see that your tickets have already gotten the attention of management. Please note that your VPS comes with administrative level access which allows you to make whatever change you wish to make at any point in time without having to consult our support staff. Also, all VPSes come with a certain level of management and support which would support any software that is currently still being developed and was installed on your VPS.
Microsoft has outlined that CDONTS is deprecated. We've also provided several different code examples of how to use CDOSYS. The coding change is a difference of 3-4 lines. Furthermore, you always have the ability to login to your VPS to add CDONTS capability yourself without ever contacting us. I believe your issues came about as a result of having software written using libraries that are no longer supported/available especially on the new Windows Server 2008 framework. |

Very Disappointed
I read some good reviews on Arvixe, and tested their chat support and everything looked good. I then ported all my websites and emails over because I was looking for a place where I could look after and manage everything.
I signed up in March, and was reasonably happy until the 12th of July at 2pm. Suddenly ALL my websites and emails were down. When I consulted the Arvixe support, they couldn't tell me exactly what happened, except that I had too much traffic, and that certainly that didn't make any sense to me. They just kept telling me to get my web developer to fix it. This is SO bad.
After my sites were down for about 24 hours, my web developer checked everything and found nothing wrong. His first idea was a hacker, but there was no evidence.
Finally Arvixe told me they wouldn't put my sites back up unless I upgraded to their business plan which was 5 times the original price I paid. So feeling desperate I paid for 1 month on the more expensive plan, and I'm now looking for a new host.
I finally found out the reason for the problem when I was chatting with In Motion Hosting sales. They explained that my CPU usuage must have spiked, hogging the processor on the shared server - fair enough - thanks In Motion!
I'm disappointed with Arvixe for a few reasons:
1. Why did I not get any warning before they took down all my websites and emails
2. Why could they not explain why? and I had to find out from another host.
So in summary, and due to this event, I do not recommend their hosting. Biggest Pro: Good Price, Fast Support, Easy Set up and Manage Biggest Con: Killed websites and emails without warning, Incompetent Support

Dear Customer,
First, we're quite sorry for your experience here at Arvixe. Please be assured that such an experience is not common and we're here to make sure that it is not repeated in the future. I have reviewed our records and noted that while we have outlined the issue was due to excessive CPU usage, we may not have been quite as clear as we should have in outlining which exact scripts of yours may have caused the issue. As it has been several months since your interview, it is good to note that we now employ automated warnings and furthermore provide more details so you can properly identify the scripts being abused and disable them prior to further action being taken.
Please however note that what we had done was necessary to protect the integrity of our services. On a shared environment, it is very important to identify and in extreme abuse cases, suspend users that are abusing resources to make sure that all customers on the server are provided with the best hosting experience possible.
We do invite you (as you have identified some great pros within our services) to utilize our services again and would be more than happy to extend a discount. Feel free to contact us at qa .at. arvixe.com so we can make sure that you are setup properly to identify that Arvixe is truly the new leader in web hosting services. |
