I find it deplorable, the way that some web hosting companies abuse an otherwise useful service like HostSearch.
Rather than go into all the sordid details, please take a moment to visit this link and then post your conclusions.

Are you talking about where the same IP post a 10 Rating over and over using about 2-3 different names?

Or were the company them self rated their service a 10,
25-35 times? :eek:

Heh, Just need to clarify.....

They offer "Unlimited"(First 3GB FREE), ;)
So its not really Unlimited, just one of those professional ways
to get customers. With fancy words(tricks/lies/whatever you wish to call it)

Thats right, unlimited bandwidth... you just have to pay for the amount you use!

Heh, Just need to clarify..... Dem "same IP" reviews are so juvenile.:rolleyes:
And a company using the "Reviews" section to "respond" (yeh right) to a users review just so they can rate themselves :eek:
HostSearch should just block them kind of companies that do that crap!!:angry: :angry: :angry:

I think it reflects as poorly on HostSearch as it does the hosts that employ such practices. :angry: :angry:
