Worst Hosting That You Experienced

    I am curious if any of you have used FusedHosting. Recently the new owners have made a mockery of the paid hosting service. You can check this thread in NamePros forum (now to 12 pages with replies!) to learn the sufferings of the current customers because of this! I was one of them. But somehow found a way, to move out from it with a backup. Yeah! with a backup, cause it was the hardest thing that you can get from that hosting as a customer!
    Here I have written a blog post about my terrible experience.
    Have you experienced like this with any other hosting. Share your experience.
    I am quite interested. Lets find out the bad guys.
    And Never Ever Go For FUSEDHOSTING.NET!

    Are you associated with FusedHosting.net:)
    Don't talk about spam with only 18 posts! You are not that much attached here!

    Dreamhost scammed me on there VPS package. anyone can google them and see they've done it to other people. And there downtime is crazy!

    An Bouncehosting.com made me learn the hard way the difference between UNLIMITED and Un metered lets just say you want Un metered

    Oops! I am using DreamHost now. But I am damn sure they won't be as vague & dishonest as Fusedhosting.net :)

    I was with one company based in Egypt who was a reseller for a company in the US. The parent company went out of business, and the reseller kept charging me, despite being down.

    It was a nightmare. I didn't even know what a reseller was at the time and didn't find out I was email by the parent company.

    TheHostingPalace.com - been 3-4 months with them

    They always got problems, they moved the servers 2-3 times, they got huge downtime. 70-80%

    Now I think they just dissapear, it passed 5-7 days, I contacted them in every possible way, even on this forum...got no responsonse.
    I got my site there and don't have updated backups !
    I also saw that today, their main site TheHostingPalace.com its not working, yesterday they were still selling packages..

    Next time when you choose a cheap hosting, try to get a guarantee uptime !

    I use Dreamhost for most of my sites, but haven't got major problem with them.
    They have good uptime (around 99%), fast support and they say unlimited bandwith and space.

    Don't use Lunarpages. They always restrict the resource and tell users to upgrade to dedicated one. That's really bad.

    Hosts to avoid..

    Futuredhosting = slow server, socket errors, lots of downtime
    hostpolice =Scammers
    NEO Hosts=Scammers
    CradleHost=Scammers they even stole the domain name from a client..

    Stay away from these or find yourself scammed

    A hosting may have occasional downtime. But you need to get notified about it. At least now I can find information on server downtime from DreamHost status blog.

    But I am still continuing with them. One problem is that when a DreamHost server goes down, it takes hell lot of time to recover.

    LunarPages...my worst experience with a hosting company. They tell you one thing and they change what they said. Pathetic.

    I've also used a few hosting. Both of them are dishonest.

    1. Byet hosting (http://byethost.com/) - They will suspend your hosting account if your site is highly traffic even though you purchase their unlimited plan.
    2. WebHostingPad (http:///webhostingpad.com) - They will dishonestly charge you and their unlimited hosting plan is just plain under investigation and static web pages only.

    I've been used hosting from more than 10 companies, but Servage.net is the worst by far. Stay away of them.

    I have to say when I first started going into the hosting business, the company was webcreationspace.com and I'm glad I got out of there when I did. Total nightmare.
