I was with Webhostingworld.net for 2 years
January 17, 2014

I was with Webhostingworld.net for 2 years. After the first year the hosting continued to go down hill. It was more like 75% uptime. They must have started me off on the good server, then after a time moved my site to a less functional server or something. The customer service had gotten so bad that they would simply paste a link in the chat to direct you elsewhere. General questions like "why is my site down"? Would now require a support ticket. I moved my site to another host, it costs more, but I am getting what I pay for... so-to-speak. I referred WHW hosting to others in the past who either ended up retrieving a refund before the end of 30 days which WHW makes very difficult; or if they missed the 30 day money back, they simply moved their site. I moved my sites, but WARNED others that WHW was a frustration but an inexpensive way to get set-up... THAT'S ALL!. Unfortunately, not many people are as patient as I was.

I am now building a site for a customer who insisted on inexpensive hosting just to get the feel of managing her own website. So I came back to WHW. I knew what to expect, but I am here to enlighten others that after 3 years it has simply gotten worse.

My new experience: It has been 3 days and the site is still not activated. The temporary url does not work either. For the last 3 days I have been told that the site will be up in just a few hours. The home page states "Free Set-up and Instant Activation", that's fine if in your language "instant" means 3 days; regarding the 30 day money back guarantee, on the second day that the site was not up I asked how I go about getting a refund, I have been continually told the site would be up in just a few hours. Going into day 4 I am still being told to wait just a few hours.

MY RECOMMENDATION: $1.00 a month is appealing when you are setting up and designing a site. BUT! You are getting what you pay for. The home page Boast are NO LONGER TRUE! They were when I used this hosting for my sites for about 6 months, 3 years ago, NOT ANYMORE! The customer service is 24/7 HORRIBLE. If you venture in for the appealing $1.00 a month deal, just forget customer service, and put in a support ticket, you will spend less time waiting for an email than you will on a chat with customer service.

Also, I am pretty sure all of those other recent comments about how good the service is were written by the staff or the owners. But if you want to test the comments try it. They OFFER a 30 day money back guarantee? At least that's what it says on the home page. Just remember if you use Paypal to pay for the service, I hear Paypal does a pretty good job of getting you your money back for you.
