Other Comments

This host is toxic! They will bill you and take your money but will not provide the service. I had to go to the Better Business Bureau and also open a PayPal dispute to get my money back.

Do You Like Being in Business? Then RUN! NOW!, Member mortgauge

I signed up with them 2 years ago. After just 2 days it was clear that their service and tools available were completely inadequate for my needs and I switched hosts. They refused to give me a refund for the full year of hosting I had paid for. I gave up trying to switch my domain to another registrar after becoming frustrated and decided that dealing with the issue wasn’t worth the stress. After all, even though their hosting and customer service suck, how could they go wrong with the simple task of keeping a domain name registered? Now, they have taken a payment made to them for the purpose of renewing my domain name and used it to renew a domain forwarding service they hooked up to my account once I’d canceled my hosting with them and established hosting elsewhere. Unfortunately, I learned about this only now that my domain name has expired. I’m out of business. No website. No ability to receive email. If there’s even a 1% chance of this happening to you or your business, would you risk it?
