I know I'm new here, so this has probably already been addressed, but to all those other newbies looking to be hosted, HostOnce is NOT the way to go. They have poor customer service, terrible downtime, rude people working there, my email account was completely screwed up the moment the domain was set up. They're a terrible company. They also have false advertising, they claim "unlimited space and bandwith" unless your site is popular, in which case they'll shut you down without warning. Or they'll boot you for hosting your OWN sites in YOUR domain. Urg. STAY VERY FAR AWAY FROM HOSTONCE. Oh, and don't be fooled by their "Just $4.95/month USD" because that's not true. They upfront charge you over $60 that can NEVER be refunded. Stay FAR FAR AWAY.

hehe. That's one username the mods will replace pretty quickly. :D :stickout

haha thats ok, i just had to get my point across. i'm a very dissatisfied customer. i need a reliable place, now that i'm out sixty dollars......urg :bawling:

"unlimited space and bandwith" :rolleyes:

No wonder ;)

yeah well, what can i say? i'm 17 and stupid. i went ahead and did it without thinking, talking to only ONE other person who had been hosted there who was fine. :angry:

Unlimited Disk Space & Data-transfer*

*disk space is limited to 5Mb and data-transer is limited to 100Mb per month

$4.95/mo ... what do you guys think :cartman:

Bount to make money....... damn..my idea has been taken :angry: :bawling:

they're terrible. thats all they care about is money. they find reasons to delete your sites with no refunds after a week. i'm taking it on as my duty to help spread the word around the net for all the idiots like myself. :angry:

That means the offer of unlimited is somewhat...... limited :eek: :cartman:

As you can see, ABob has been here long enough, heh. We do ask that you choose a username that does not have a host name in it (especially xxxsucks). We ask that your posts tell your tales of woe, not the username itself. Danke. You may request another name by emailing us with this username.

Thats my chicken, laying down the law.

Hostonce isn't all that bad. I have had an account for a little less than a year and I am actually happy. Of course I don't ever use that account, but for $60, no big deal.

Give me that sixty dollars, then!

I'm not saying $60 is chump change, but it could be worse.

So they are great if you never use that account.
Now there is one honest review!
I want to get an unlimited acount that I will never use also. Where do I sign up?

I don't use it because after the first month I had them, they closed me down for 6 months...I just barely regained control of it.

So you are confirming what AnotherName said when he stated "that they will shut you down whenever they get a chance". Or, did you lose control for another reason?

I'm just curious, plus I wish I had $60 right now :(

anothername2,
I will host your www/mail for free if you were legit about Hostonce ripping you off.
I hope you dont mind me writing this post mods, I just hate seeing companies shaft their own clients :(

admin2,

perhaps you could start hosting all the peeps who have been ripped of by cyberwings. :D

according to cyberwings though they are trying to get back in gear.

I dont' understand why people never read the TOS of a site. That is one of the first things I do when researching a host.

Looks like you need to update the vb counters Chicken. ;)

His username is still there as topic starter....

Import & Maintenance > Update Counters > Update Thread Info

:D

I've never heard of cyberwings.
I thought we were talking about HostOnce, or Hostonce = cyberwings?
