    I have had a shared hosting account with IdeaStack (http://ideastack.com) for a few months now. Live support has been quick and there when i have needed it. They do offer a good service for the price you pay. I haven't ran into too many issues. The only issue i have had was this 500 apache error but i believe it has been fixed now. The hosting always fast with very minimal downtime which is probably due to maintanence.

    Good work IdeaStack. I look forward doing business with you for a long time.

    Glad to hear that you are satisfied with their hosting. What is your website that is hosted with them ?

    Thanks

    Both IdeaStack and your domain's IP does not tally.
    ------------------------------
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: myidsolution.com
    Address: 74.63.219.43
    ------------------------------
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: ideastack.com
    Address: 208.43.103.100

    Could you please confirm your domain?

    Also, Ideastack.com WHMCS license doesnt seem to be verified. =/ Will send the IP to WHMCS for confirmation.

    I'd say they are hosting IdeaStack.com on another server or IP.

    My domain is as stated above.

    Well, I'll jump in.

    I've been with ideastack for a few months as well, and there were a few problems at the start, and every now and then there's some downtime.

    However, once they put me on another server, those first few problems disappeared, and I am overall extremely satisfied with their service and their fees. Their customer support? Never needed it once my account was properly set up.

    Although prices seem to go down all the time, little by little, competition in the field is aggressive.

    Anyway, I took a chance because there weren't many reviews before I signed up, I hope that this helps someone make the right choice about Ideastack.

    Put it this way: I would be happy to find another host like Ideastack for another bunch of small sites that I have...

    Looks like ideastack.com is using shill posts. This is a 1 year old thread that suddenly has 3 new members all make their first post here:

    Ryan0019
    arvind0012
    arpit0012

    And they are too damn stupid to even come up with original sounding DP user names to shill with. Way lame. ideastack.com sounds like a loser of a company to have to resort to such lame tactics.

    I forgot about posting here, but I'll give you an update. I am not with Ideastack anymore!
    Months ago everything really went to hell and I had the hardest time to get things sorted out, I couldn't and had to move all my sites away, with a lot of issues and hassle.

    So in brief, I'm NOT happy that I signed up in the first place, with hindsight, I would never sign up with them again!

    I don't know where they're at right now, I hope they are better managed, but I'm staying away from that name, for me it's compromised forever!

    This is the worst hosting company I ever dealt with. I bought Bronze plan for seo hosting worth USD 126 for a part of my network of 25 websites. I created 3 accounts for three domains and let it go on its own. I few months later I discovered that my websites dissapeared without a trace. I demanded to recover the domains and here is what they said:

    "i m really sorry you don't have a backup plan with us

    S Nizar
    Support Specialist"

    I do not mind not having a back up - BUT WHY DELETING THE CREATED ACCOUNTS AND DOMAINS???????? Never deal with them!!! WORST HOSTING COMPANY IMAGINABLE!!!

    Hi All,
    I'm ideastack customer. I have been cheated. They offer something and dont deliver.
    my domain is mumbaionweb.com
    The following is an example of the way they treat clients. They have closed a ticket without any reply

    I have a master reseller account with you.
    This means I'm supposed to get a paid version of softaculous on my account.

    I have been enjoying the paid version for a long time and suddenly its been changed to a free version. I and my clients use a lot of scripts from paid version including joomla.

    Please change it back to paid version on my account as soon as possible

    it is provided as an add-on it is not a part of a plan it has been updated we reserve the right to remove it at any point of time

    How would you rate this reply? Poor Excellent

    I hope you know that you have provided me a master reseller account.

    This means indirectly i'm your partner in providing a service to a client. I offer products to my clients based on the products provided to me by you.

    I hope you know that removal of a product or add-on from a hosting account without a proper notice would mean legal implications on me and hence to you by my clients. It also means a business loss to me.

    I also hope you know that 1 unsatisfied master-reseller equals to 100's of indirect unsatisfied customers.

    From my experience, ideastack is the worst hosting company I ever found. Some idiots at their customer and technical support.


    Never use their service. My sincere request to anybody looking for a new host.

    Agreed. PATHETIC hosting ever! Some cheap Indian customer support there. I also figured out they are using supermanagedhosting.com to offer their HILARIOUSLY POOR service. If I even helped SINGLE webmaster divert their mind against this IDEASTACK POOR HOSTING service, I will be blessed!

    So glad I have read this discussion, I just came a cross their website and was thinking about taking the SEO hosting plan. But after reading here, I will save my money for someone else.
