[maxim79]

The shittiest host EVER! , I mean EVER!! I used a lot of hosts for the last 5 years, but this is just horrible. I am hosting 22 blogs network there, they keep ruining the sites every week, one time I get error 500, next time my blog posts disappeared, today I can't login because they did something and wp-logins are not working. It take like two days for them to fix the mess they did. I am forced to always check my blogs to see, if they not ruined something again. Uptime is just horrible, I mean every day I have my sites offline for several hours.

Don't use them, if you like to save your money, and mental health!!

Move your stuff to the new host and save your mental health
I think that is not problem to find the similar solution today
It is to hear about your experience as well

[maxim79]

I am in the process of doing that. Moving 22 wordpress blogs it's very time consuming.
Just hope that people who are considering them would read this and won't get this awful experience.

[Dan Madiou]

I think you can ask for the help the company you chose. Some of them are really helpful

Sorry to hear your troubles mate. If you don't mind, share who is your next host. And also you can post or report (if you want to do it privately) a domain hosted with your current host to get your review verified by mods. You can use the report button on the right hand corner of your first post to do that.

Sorry to hear about your problems. Normally your new host should be able to help you out with the transfer process, specially if both hosts share same control panels such as cPanel.

Hope that everything goes well, Best of luck.

Try another host.Hope fully everything back normal

Are you an idiot or you are pretending to be one?
I am struggling for 3 days, that you fix my damn blogs, and you don't know what are the links to them???

Here for the 10th time, write it on the wall or something:

They must be overselling their servers. Move to another host, and thanks for sharing your experience.

I can understand why you're frustrated, but at what point is it acceptable to become insulting and abusive?

That's a rhetorical question - the answer is it is never acceptable. You should leave before you've gotten to the point where you're unable to interact with their support staff respectfully, and if this is your first experience with their support and you've already crossed that line, I can understand why they would be less than thrilled to reward your abuse.

I've seen this in thousands of WHT threads, where a member complains about a provider, and then we find out the member has been abusing their provider's staff. It almost never ends well for the member...

I will explain on which point it becames that way.
When they are so greedy that the oversale their host, that way that they became unusable.
When the unprofessionalism of those "Hosters" could do a thousands dollars of damage to your sites.
Maybe for someone it's not so important , but for me it is. Sites that are being offline for 3-5 days could be easily delisted by google, i am not talking about a damage from not cutted deals with advertisers that I had last 2-3 days because the sites are ruined.

And this is a repetitive problem, I had those issues several times.

If it's so important for you, why did you stay with them, week after week?

Like I said, if you let this build up to the point where you are reacting abusively to their staff, then you stayed too long, and you cost yourself money by wasting your energy abusing their staff instead of moving into hosting environment that suited you better.

We appreciate the review (and look forward to hearing the other side of the story from SEO-Host), but take some responsibility for your own behavior!

I hear this a lot, and find it quite amusing. Regardless of whether the host had good or terrible service, if your sites are of such importance that you stand to lose that much money, you shouldn't even be on a shared environment. It's not going to kill you to fork out the few extra dollars for a cloud VPS, or at the very least a business grade hosting plan.

The cost of hosting, would be insignifcant compared to the loss from downtimes I would think.

How long have you been hosting with them and when actually the problems started?
