The both look rather appealing to a new blogger, although ASmallOrange's website looks a bit more professional. (asmallorange.com and kvcwebsitehosting.com)
Ah, yes, I've heard of hostnine. When they had their comment box on their site, I saw some terrible reviews which startled me a bit. Have you had any experiences with them?
Personally I wouldn't go by the "professionalism" of a website design, unless it looks entirely poorly done. It's the service behind it that really counts, so even if the other provider you mentioned may not have as good of a design, they might make up for it in the quality of service you'd receive. I've seen providers out there with text-only websites, no design, and they outperformed practically any of the big names out there in terms of customer service & performance.
I've only heard of ASmallOrange, and recently I've been hearing that they've been getting worse as well. I would go for neither.
Huh? I wasn't commenting about our site...also, might help to know what errors you are talking about? I was merely stating the old saying that goes "Don't judge a book by its cover"...
Well, it looks like I'll be going with good 'ol Hostgator. How is their shared hosting plan, fast compared to others'?
I'm with ASmallOrange already 3+ years and am happy with them. If you decide for ASO, feel free to use my ASmallOrange coupons. I also have a hosting account with Bluehost and Hostgator and no problems with these 2 hosts too.
I quite often hear KVC Web Hosting news update in http://www.thehostingnews.com/ or http://www.thewhir.com/ They are reputable industry/news organization so they might regard them newsworthy,but I do not know if KVC is good or not. I suppose KVC is at least not terrible.
Liars, cheaters and disgusting. Hosted by a bunch of Indians. kvcwebsitehosting user review / evaluation A bunch of disgusting behaving thieving Indians. Stay far away. They only care about your money. Save yourself the trouble of dealing with these thieving Indians. They have so called money back guarantee, which actually never happens when you ask for it. I asked Prasad Naik my money back guarantee, but I guess it must have been half his monthly salary in Bombay the way he clinched to my money. After complaining on this Naik and one of his coworkers, he threatened to close my account (after I asked for refund), refused to transfer my domain when I opened a complaint in Paypal for my money back and they later DELETED ALL of my account and website data. Their technical support is a disaster with useless people like this Prasad Naik which will delete your account and your data and refuse to transfer your domain if you ask for your money back or complain about their staffs disgusting behavior (which you can see an ensample of below). That is the kind of service and people you can expect, and your money and all of your data gone if you don’t tolerate their disgusting manners and games. Here are other links showing what people think about them, (they write fictive positive reviews about them self () or pay others (see comments below) to write positive review about them. A bunch of useless Indians like Prasad Naik. Don’t trust them or you will regret it technically, financially and in lost time and data. Their servers are down every weekend. Their support is nonexistent and terrible when available, with rude dirt like Prasad and "Deby" telling people to fuck off and closing chat windows. A bunch of useless Indians. service like that might work in their country but I would advice you to stay far away from such unprofessional trash. You are warned about kvcwebsitehosting. The biggest cheater in Hosting business Hi, KVC hosting is the worst thing, when you want web hosting ! I used thier "seo web hosting" and unlimited web hosting sh***t. They stole my money, at first time i bought the c unlimited hosting, there are many problems at upptime, they cant set up my new account in 3 days.... )) the uptime is under 25%, and the support response time is around 2-3 days.... i think this is a joke. They said, there is a server issues but they will fix it in 24-48h. But when i go to bigger plan i get more resources from thier servers... ect. Ok i bought a seo plan with 10dedicated ip. There is when my IT business started going down - (thanks to kvc scam hosting). The uptime is more worst thant the other plan there is only 1-2 day online in a WEEK ! The customer support dont reply me only once a week ! And when my sites are online there is irreal ping around 2500 - 3000 ms ! I told him i want money back, but they cant reply me only once a week to like this game: 2.week: "are you sure want cancelll your account and refound ?" -me: yes 3.week: "why you want to cancel your account ? -me: because your services dont meet our company req...ect 4.week: "we will transfer you to our other server ok ?" me:-no i want my money back 5.week: "sorry we cant refound you because only in 30 day able our money back" Haha so its the biggest cheat what i ever heard in this business, and when i said them i response my money back request in 30days, they said: "ok give us a ticket number, and we see around when it created" - i told him the ticket id and then: THEY CLOSED MY ACCOUNT AND NEVER REPLY ME !!!!! So boys if you want gift your money and customers and seo ranking away, "KVC HOSTING IS A RIGHT FOR YOU ! BIGGEST SCAM SITE KVC HOSTING ! bye KVC REPLY: ** WEBHOSTINGREVIEWS IS BIAS AND PROBABLY THE MOST FAKE REVIEW SITES. THEY DO NOT ALLOW TO POST ANY GOOD REVIEWS BY FLAG IT AS SPAM WHILE THEY ALLOW BAD REVIEWS ONLY. TO PROOF THIS, ANYONE CAN POST POSITIVE REVIEW HERE , WE WILL AWARD IT $200 PAY VIA PAYPAL (EMAIL TO SALES@KVCHOSTING) - TO SHOW YOU HOW BIAS AND FAKE THIS WEBSHOSTINGREVIEWS BY NOT TAKING ANY REVIEWS OTHER THAN BAD REVIEW.

We have tried to contact webhostingreviews.- also the same this website does not even seems to care to resolve this matter. If this is true what this customer complain we will not writing this issue here. Pros They have good customer service and when the service works it works good. Cons Overloaded servers even for paid customers. Deceptive advertising on Money-Back-Guarantee. Description Price: $1-$10 per month Type of Provider: Standard Web Hosting Operating System: Linux Server Software: PHP, Perl, ASP, Ruby, SSI, SSL, SSH Analytics / Statistics I don't know Guide Review - Kvchosting - Web Hosting Customer Review Description - Services Provided Full service hosting free and paid. I paid for three months because it had great reviews. The server worked fine for three days then if went down for 8 hours. They said they were having apache software problems, please be patient. It work for another two days then the same problem, the server worked sporatically. So, they said not a problem, we will put you on a faster server this time. By now I had lost so much business that I said I'll take them up on the 'money back guarantee,' except they wouldn't give it even though they state that. I'd have to pay ten dollars and the ten days I used the broken service would be deducted too. So, I would say avoid this outfit even with its so-called great review that are posted. I'm waiting for some sort of refund right now. Other Comments AVOID! Run screaming if you see Kvchosting. Can someone direct me how to report a host master Report abuse iykon1 Level 1 11/8/09 Kvc hosting, is not a reliable hosting Company. I signed up C unlimited hosting account for 24 months but their support didn't work. In the first 3 days I had so many issues with setting up an account with them. I asked them to cancel the hosting account as they have 90 days money back guarantee. It was then that their games began. They said they will deduct $10 and the amount of days the account was running and refund me the balance. A day later, they sent me an email saying that my hosting has been terminated and that I won't be billed any further. They never said anything about refunding me. I waited for 2 days, and I contacted them for the refund, but the billing dept. told me that my paypal account wouldn't accept refunds from them as I paid them with paypal. I contacted paypal and explained the matter to them but paypal said that they don't deal with such items, even though they sent my money to Kvchosting. But paypal told me that my account is working fine as I have just received funds in my paypal account. May be the seller kvchosting doesn't want to refund me. I contacted kvc and they now began a story by sending me a video screen shot of when they tried to refund me the money, which eventually didn't go through. I said, that's not true. I asked them to forward me the email notification from paypal confirming that the refund couldn't go through but they said I must beleive them with the video screen shot. I gave them my 2checkout account,moneygram, western Union and my banking details for Tt transfer to refund my money but they are ignoring. Last week they told me to contact paypal to sort my account, but when I did contact paypal again, paypal said that there is nothing wrong with my account and that KVChosting has not reported any matter to them. So paypal cannot do anything on KVChosting paypal account unless kvc contacts paypal themselves. KVC doesn't want to do so, all they do is to engage me in writting and fairy tells of my money. Could anyone please tell me which authority to report this scam to? Thank you for assistance. " KVC REPLY: This feedback respond to the review posted by ISAAC GODFREY, his domain name is bluebench.
