Forcium = Very bad host :(

    Hello DP,
    First of all, I'm not a person that wants to stop people buying from Forciumhosting, but I want to prevent them... because I had MANY issues!
    I will write them in this topic.
    I hope you all will read it (I know it's a long text) but than you can prevent some users from having bad service.
    I know Forcium wants to do a great job, but still they must be much much better! Let's begin!
    Uptime!
    They Promise ( http://www.forciumhosting.com/promise.php ) that they will give 99.6% Uptime. Me, my members and many other people, can tell this isn't true, it was probably not even 90% Uptime :mad:
    Everytime I asked why, they gave me another stupid reason... I was even thinking 'what would be the next stupid reason again'...
    Speed!
    The uptime isn't very good, but the speed is even worse! Forcium always told me it's due to my internet connection... well probably, he was the only one with good internet connection than! Because it was slow for everybody :s
    30-Day Moneyback guarantee!
    They also promise that you can test 30 days. I bought my reseller package 3rd Mai this year... so it's valid till 2nd June. After all that bad stuff, I went to forciums' helpdesk and asked moneyback (it was 1st of June than) and asked the support-giver there (live support) if I can get money back. He said (they can check logs) 'Boss is currently away, ask him on MSN and I will Pm him too...
    Now, Forcium came online, I asked and asked, but he just ignored me.. Than FINALLY yesterday (5th June) he answered me. I asked him moneyback. He said I was too late... but yeah, he said the live chat didn't mather too... so the live support on Forcium is for bullshit mates... He said I needed to make a new 'ticket' (I thought support is support..) and the support giver from live support didn't even say that...
    So in fact, I lost my money from reseller account (isn't a little amount of money...)
    I even re-read the whole forcium site, too search where the text was, for moneyback you must make a ticket... it isn't written and I can't smell that ;)

    After all, he just blocked me on MSN
    What a support...

    It's not done!
    Failed Promisses
    They would give me VPS instead of proxy reseller account... I waited and waited... and kept waiting... finally after hmmm a week (?) he gave me back my money... and said VPS would not come on Forcium (or something similar)
    Alright.. I even lost ALL traffic from my proxies, but yeah, I got moneyback from my PROXY RESELLER account...
    But the worse thing has to come.. a day later, his nick said this: 'Need VPS Hosting? Contact me!'
    This is something strange DP'ers...
    Status2K
    They can't even buy a legal status2k key:
    http://www.forciumhosting.com/network/
    This says enough I think...

    Now, there are probably more things to say, but I will stop here since I'm typing 20 mins already...

    Still some tips:
    For Forcium admin:
    - Make sure in future everything goes better
    - Make prizes higher, and buy more servers (and own and better)
    - Don't try to do too much in one time... like you did now.. (VPS, proxy reseller, etc etc...) do one thing at a time ;)

    Now, I don't want to screw ForciumHosting career but this is my opinion!
    What do you guys think about ForciumHosting?

    Let comments flew!

    What do you expect from a host offerring hosting for $1/year? Honestly, if you want quality hosting, PAY FOR IT!

    Forcium Hosting has a bad reputation in DP already after he/she plans to sell the business over at WHT. It is just another overnight business and such behaviour should be condone!

    Well yes, but I just started so it was just looking for a reliable host that doesn't cost too much
    I'm now at TMZHosting.com and that's good hosting and it's fast :)

    Better than Forcium...

    Stop is the same thing as prevent... You can't prevent someone from doing something without stopping them. (For anyone wondering what I'm talking about re-read the first few sentences.)

    They had a bad week. I thought of leaving them but now they have upgraded their servers and my websites are running smooth with no problems whatsoever. I also got an email from the new owner asking if I want a refund and I also got one month free hosting due to downtime in the past few days. I also have around 6Gb of data on the server which takes some bandwidth and I must say for 8$/year you can't find better hosting.

    Yes, always it's due to YOUR ISP but that isn't ...
