Web Hosting WorldReviews 11

Web Hosting World provides peace of mind with their web hosting services. Their support team resolved my recent website issue with expertise and a customer-focused approach. Their affordable plans make them an appealing choice.

I have been with them for years. Their servers are insecure and you will get hacked. They always fail to renew my domain registration. This year they let it lapse. They have given no explanation and will not let me speak with the domain team. It has not been renewed despite numerous messages saying they were working on it. Truth of the matter is my domain did not get renewed because of lack of funds in *their* account. They won't admit this though. I will be arranging to have my charges reversed and renew my domain through another reseller.

Well, I'm very satisfied with using WebHostingWorld's VPS hosting services. Support staff Rocks! Very friendly and always willing to help. Highly recommended. I don't need the extra space, just feel as though I'm not paying enough for this excellent service! One very pleased customer!

Terrible. Scammers! Last year I signed for their Bronze Plan. At that moment it was offering UNLIMITED space so I payed for 3 years in advance. Its been only 10 months and suddenly my hosting space is full! I asked what was happening and representative Stephanie simply told me that the plan has changed. No refund, no previous notice, no nothing and if I need more space I just have to pay for a higher plan. I Told her that it was unfair, they must uphold their initial offer. She just said sorry, just pay if you need more space. They simply disrespect customers. So beware that if you sign up for a plan they may be changing conditions whenever they like...

Cheap is cheap!

I signed up with them less than a week ago. My long-standing, reputable, and functional website was transferred to these scammers for a short period of time. The website, emails, and everything else stopped working as soon as they were transferred to webhostingworld.

I pulled out my embarrassing mistake from their claws very quickly because: 1. The site never saw the world through their eyes! 2. The emails stopped working and I lost business that week. 3. Now I have to correspond with my clients to re-establish my reputation. And it's not easy to do. My clients trust me on the quality of my work and my product. My products, my service, the quality of my communication with the client, and everything else is a part of my business integrity. When I mistakenly signed up with webhostingworld, I temporarily compromised my integrity. 4. Their 30-day money back guarantee promise is a bogus. I submitted a ticket with them. It's like throwing a bottle with a message into the ocean with some communication effort. And it's like being on an island in the ocean screaming for help. Wilson! My ticket was never addressed. Does this ring the bell? 5. They make their money by advertising very cheap plans and charging thousands of people for a promise they don't deliver. When people realize that they paid for nothing, it's too late. The fee is small, so people stop fighting in their efforts to get their money back. As a result, you have lost a small amount of money, your time on the Internet, your reputation with some of your clients (who are inherently patient for the most part, thank Goodness!), and your sanity. And they have collected their undeserved profit while you are trying to get back on your feet.

My advise to you, don't make the same mistake I did. You get what you pay for. And, in this case, it ain't worth it. Never sign up with this company!

P.S. I did allow more than 48 hours for the site to propagate on their so called "server." And I was very patient with their excuses.

As the saying goes, "the demon you know is better than the angel...". I've had my ups and downs with Web Hosting World but I'm overall satisfied. Most problems are fixed via chat and if I'm honest, with them, you actually get more than what you pay for. I won't use it for top projects where reliability is key especially for zero-tolerance clients. I've however used it for projects that have gone ahead to shake the WWW including 247 Nigeria News Update which is recently migrated to blogger due to it's ******* daily hits

I am beginning to see a pattern. One of my client's domains was simply erased, all the html/php files, e-mail accounts, ftp accounts, all of it just gone. They got the e-mail and ftp accounts back in a few minutes but not the files. They offered no explanation as to how or why it happened and got defensive when I asked to know how it happened so that I could avoid it in the future.
They apparently have no access (or don't know how to access) the basic server logs that would tell us the who, when and how of the failure.
They seem to just not care. Very bad if you want to give good service to your clients but can't get it from your provider.
