2 Hosts To STAY AWAY FROM!!!

     I have gathered a list of hosts which you should never use, they are horrible and are no good for you.  Here they are…

  1. 1AND1 - This host is terrible.  It seems all good because of the good pricing and how much you get, but it’s not.  Believe me.  I was on a year contract with them paying $30 every 3 months, except for the first 3 which was $15.  Anyway you get so many features, which is cool.  But it seems as if everything done needs to be confirmed by the 1and1 support crew or something, if I create a MySQL database, it takes about 40 minutes to be ready for usage.  Also domains take a few hours to be ready to use on the account.  The support is slow and they are not too forgiving.  Please, do not use 1AND1 dot com.
  2. Profit Host Plus - I have never experienced this host, I would of but they are gone now.  As you can see the domain is parked.  I saw this thread on the V7N Webmaster forums though.  And this is what the user said…
    “I signed up for profithostplus in February on a Friday. They claim to activate your account within 24 hours. Boy, was that false advertisement. lol I waiting till Monday, and still was not activated. Well, I called them and believe it or not, they have no 800 toll free number, so imagine the bills I received from calling them. lol Anyway, that guy claimed that he never received my order and to email him to another email address my domain name, username, and password. lol Well, I did that, and then waiting another few more days and was still not activated. Well, I called him back again since that is the only way to contact him, because I found out he never replies to his emails, even to threatening emails.He said there was a glitch in the system and they are working on it. Anyway, after repeat calls to him, and repeat emails(which he never replies to), I finally got activated 2 weeks after I signed up. lol

    Well, anyway everything in the control panel doesn’t even work(they programmed their own control panel). I had nothing but problems with that hosting company, it is unreal. lol

    So, I suggest not to goto this company at all.. That is the worse experience I ever had, not to mention I had thousands of headaches, and tons of money short from my pocket.” 
         Seems pretty brutal eh?

  2. Thanx for sharing them. I will definitely be staying away from these hosts in the future. It is not only these two, there are huge chunk of them out there who does similar thing to their customers and suck money out of them!

  5. I thought 1&1 was pretty good. Saw great ads, in computer magazines like PCWorld.
