Worst experience I've had with a webhost
When I first came to the site, it all seemed very nice. The prices were cheap and everything. So, I ordered a Reseller plan. The activation took a few hours, that wasn't so bad. The first problem came up when I tried to log in. I typed the password wrong once, and the server momentarily IP blocked me from the control panel. I sent them a support ticket. I waited 2 DAYS for it to be answered. So they unblocked my IP. The same thing happened about 7-8 times in the future. Everything else seemed okay in the beginning. Until I tried to install Joomla on my hosting account. After installing it, it gave an error about a mandatory part missing from PHP installation. I made a support ticket for them to install the component that was actually supposed to be already installed, as they promised in their website to have Joomla and everything. After 4 days of waiting, a response to the support ticket finally came. They said it would cost me $10 integration fee if they installed the missing component. I answered the ticket about how it was supposed to be originally included, I had no response, ever. To talk about the uptime, the server was down about 20% of the day. Sometimes it went down for several days. I never got a response to my support tickets I sent them. When trying to connect them in Live Support (which was promised to be 24/7), nobody ever answered it. I also found out they promised PostgreSQL, but it wasn't really enabled on the server. Several other things that were promised were missing. So, after 4 months, my site went down. I thought it's just an ordinary downtime, I was used to having them with that host. But after 2 weeks, I still hadn't get my site up. I also got no reponse to my support ticket, which wasn't a big surprise. I had got no e-mail, no information at all on what was going on. They finally answered me with new account details, telling me they had transferred all my data to a new server. I though "Yay, maybe it will be better and faster now." I logged into my control panel just to find out they had actually deleted all my data. The files of 70 of my hosting customers were erased, along with a whole huge gaming network I was hosting there. When contacting them in Live Support, they just told me "Yes, you lost all your data." Nothing more, they didn't answer to anything I told them. I also got no refund, nothing from it. I had to refund all loss of data to my customers, which was a total of $1000. I had a huge loss with that company, and I would never recommend this to anybody, unless you want a terrible service and a risk to get all your data lost. DON'T GO WITH THAT HOST! Biggest Pro: Low price Biggest Con: Terrible service, data lost, terrible support
