I'm really impressed, never thought there could be such a great customer service in the industry of web hosting. I had a chat with their sales team before signing up, they were really informative and pleasant to talk to. Now when I'm signed in for dedicated hosting I found out their support team is as much helpful and pleasant. Good work! I've got over 30 sites and more than a half is hosted with BlueHost. Their support team has proven to be helpful, knowledgeable and I think they really care about their customers. I use two more webhosts and BlueHost is my favorite at the time. I have much less problems with them than with others. I experienced too much downtime with this hosting provider. Every time I am awaiting important e-mails it's down. My clients are expecting responses for hours. How can I run my business like this? It looks unprofessional. I don't know, maybe it's my bad luck or something, maybe no one else is having such problems... Anyhow, I'm going to quit. The features and the hosting itself is fine, but customer support is awful. They take forever to answer support tickets, and even longer to iron the problems out. I have experienced numerous occasions when the servers have been down. I've been waiting for two weeks for them to solve a minor problem. Imagine what amount of time I'll have to wait if there is a major issue. If you need any kind of customer support, I would recommend looking elsewhere. I have been with Globat hosting company for 10 months. At the very beginning I was pretty contented, there was nothing more to be desired. Quick setup, fast servers, good uptime. But after some time I faced really unpleasant issues. First and foremost - they double charged me. I could not get my money back till now. None of my repeated emails have ever been unanswered, and when I speak to someone by phone I am promised refunds and investigations and then never hear from them again. And the tech support appeared to be just as bad. They seem to know nothing at all. Great disappointment. I have been with Yahoo Hosting for about 3 years now. My site is always up, I've never experienced any downtime. They are very helpful when I call in for assistance. Everyone I have spoken with has been friendly and knowledgeable. Yahoo is the best hosting company! Really reliable and trustworthy. After I purchased web space and a domain name, my site was not available for over 3 weeks. They would not respond to emails or phone calls. Finally I did get to them on their chat line just to discover that they know absolutely nothing. I changed my webhost. I've been hosting several sites though Lunarpages for a number of years and have had very few problems. There have been few outages but I merely noticed them. And the one support question I asked was responded to on the phone in less than 10 hours. I recommend Lunarpages to everyone who's in need of a good and cheap webhost to run their small business with. I have had GoDaddy for over a year and a half now. Haven't had any major problems, except for one time they messed up on my billing, but I got that fixed. I own a music site, so I need space, and speed, and bandwidth. And I get it all with GoDaddy. The download speeds are great,there is rarely anytime when my site is down. GoDaddy is very reliable. I've been with PowWeb for more than 4 years now. I have two web sites and a forum hosted with them. during this time I have seen my web sites disappear and my mail access cut off many times with no explanation at all. They do not announce outages. Usually these only last for a few hours. But I once had this really unpleasant experience, when it has been nearly 24 hours with no web sites or forum, and no e-mail. Outages happen too often with this hosting provider, but that final outage was the last straw. Ive changed my webhost.
