Cheap hosting, nothing but waste of time and money!

When I wrote “Cheap web hosting: cheap for a reason”, I knew that this probably wasn’t going to be the best hosting experience, but I never thought for once this would be a complete rip off!

Yes that’s right, the time period I paid for isn’t over but it seems the hosting is. In fact god knows for how many days it wasn’t working since I didn’t had any time to check it for past couple of week, I am just glad that I only hosted a domain on this hosting that I was half serious about and it was just for the testing purpose.

But I am amazed by this utter lack of business ethics some of these resellers have, which has made wondered if it is at all appropriate to buy hosting from resellers?

After all even though most people rate Godaddy Hosting as bad, they aren’t half as bad as these wannabe hosts and scammers.

If you are looking for hosting then my recommendation would be to get it from a large host who aren’t there for a short time to rip people off.

As for the reseller I bought hosting from, here is the DP thread from where I got this deal, I have already left him a negative iTrader rating and others have done it as well. In case you come across this scammer, don’t deal with him unless you want to watch your hard earned money go down the drain.

  1. I would never get hosting from a reseller - they simply do not control your hosting account, and literally take your money and hope that the hosting supplier comes through for them.

    As you say, it is cheap for a reason!

  2. Martin I am starting to feel this way, after all even though I have heard bad things about big hosting companies, they at least don’t leave you out in the docks and even though their response time might be poor, but they do respond!
