Web Hosting Reviews and Ratings
Jay, 06th 2008f October, 2008
THIS IS THE WORST HOST EVER! RUN BY AN INDIAN GUY AND HIS GF IN COLLEGE. THEY ROUTE THE PHONE # TO HIS CELL. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH BILLING, DOWNTIME, AND TECH SUPPORT. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE, STAY AWAY!!!!! THEY POST THEIR OWN POSITIVE COMMENTS ON THE REVIEW SITES IN BROKEN ENGLISH. DONT BE FOOLED. AVERAGE RETURN TIME FOR TECH SUPPORT / CS IS AT LEAST A FEW DAYS. MY SITE IS CRIPPLED AND IM LOSING MONEY HAND OVER FIST.
Jack, 06th 2008f September, 2008
I found 247-host.com in one of the Canadian web hosting forums and also read number of good web hosting reviews about them here and there. In dedicated servers I find that
247-host in not only the most affordable web host , but also well managed team. A hosting company one can hope to get for his business. I find the Canada based 247-Host as my reliable and efficient partners, the way they have been managing my server is worth praising.

Gil, 06th 2008f September, 2008
As one of resellers of 247- host.com, I feel obliged to add a hosting review about them due to level of cooperation, satisfaction and assistance I have got from them so far. Hats off to the dedication of staff of 247-host.com. They have been a good team. The downtime has been rare and response time to support nears 2 to 4 hours. Great work. I recommend them.
Ian, 05th 2008f September, 2008
You get what you pay for, although the gold package isn't overly cheap you do get a lot of extras with the control panel... however this counts for nothing when you see how long a page takes to load, the downtime almost exceeds the uptime... STAY AWAY!
Viki, 04th 2008f September, 2008
Rock solid hosting as they call it is what I have experienced with 247-host.com. I recommend 247-host for: 1) Sound support. Very fast response. 2) Prices, the best prices I have seen. 3) cpanel offered has the the options one needs in present day hosting needs. Very easy to work with and plenty of choices! I recommended them to all my friends and they are now using them as well. They are all on different servers and they are all enjoying the service. I would highly recommend 247-Host.com !
Wiliams, 25th 2008f August, 2008
i singed up yo 247 hosting about 8 months back for my adult hosting site and as one could be I was unsure weather they would be good enough for my site at such a low prices on packages and whether there customer support and tech support would be any good due price been so low but now I am happy to have joined them. The bandwidth provided by 247 host is good for my high resolution images and uptime is prefect that my site visitors do not have to turn back.
The problems have been very few and resolved quickly be 247-host.com
I am more than happy with 247 hosting

247 hosting please keep up the excellent work

also i will advice any who is looking for an host to get 247 hosting

Singh, 15th 2008f August, 2008
I joined them because there were all the signs of good hosting with them, one, 247-host.com have servers with one of the top class data center ie the planet in USA. That counts a lot as it means server quality,speed and uptime. Data center is just one aspect,the other reason was that they were authenticated by many top of the line hosting rating sites , ie 247-host.com has been awarded by many of the wold's best hosting review companies. Then when I saw the site, I could find the chat, phone, email and ticketing system support working and that was another very important thing for me and I believe for any web hosting customer. Last the price was decent. Ever since I joined them, I think I made a good choice. Its all about having good server, good data center, decent configuration and timely support and 247-host.com has never let me down so far.
Legend, 08th 2008f August, 2008
Ever since I joined the company I have liked them because of very high quality and cheap hosting with cpanel, a file manager, unlimited email accounts, mysql, and large number of scripts, I liked Fantastico as I did not have any know how of installation of scripts like guest books, forum, image galleries etc which come free with it. They also have a nice billing mechanism, ticketing system and web development tool. With 247-host I have multiple support mechanism to access the like phone, chat, email to ticketing system. Though I did not have many support issues, the average response time with me has been around 4 hours. They are rated highly by Findmyhost.com, ratemyhost.com, hostreview.com, and webhostdir.com which is a hard distinction for a web hosting company. Its my recommended host any way.
Joseph, 06th 2008f August, 2008
I have hosted with 247-host for 6 months now and I support them as they have good response time, most of the time respond to inquiries within one hour but have not be more than 4 hours. Secondly the uptime has been really good, no down time to my knowledge so far which makes me feel good. At the cost they are doing all this is something which is really amazing. Well done so far >> to be continued...
Paul, 02nd 2008f August, 2008
Have been doing business with them for 8 months now, only 1 day so far has the server been down. Not bad at all. Easy FTP. Cpanel could use alittle more tutorials and better stats but thats about it. Very reliable and easy host to get your site up and running fast.
Jack, 30th 2008f July, 2008
Crappy host. Bought the gold package- I always had unreliability with connecting to my website, so I put in a uptime tracker. The worst day in a 5 day period ended up with a 9%~ uptime. The best being 84% but averaged around 45%.

Support takes 24 hours to answer, and barely seems to know what they are doing. The response time is OK, but could be better.

I hear you get what you pay for, but it doesn't seem I even get that much.

Finding another host to switch to.
GEORGE, 23rd 2008f July, 2008
I like the company as 1. It's a very high quality and cheap hosting. For $1.99 you can get almost everything you can think of i.e. a cpanel, a file manager, unlimited email accounts, mysql, and tonnes of scripts free of cost. 2. They have a nice billing mechanism, ticketing system and web development tool. You also get FTP accounts. 3. Multiplicity of support mechanism ranging from phone, chat, email to ticketing system. Though I did not have very many support issues, the average response time with me has been around 4 hours. 4. Once I see their list of awards I am often amazed. They have rated highly by Findmyhost.com, ratemyhost.com, hostreview.com, and webhostdir.com which is a hard distinction for a web hosting company. 5. And I like cpanel. Its my recommended.
Chris, 17th 2008f July, 2008
I just found myself confused with kind of price variations and offerings on the net by all kind of hosting comapnies. One has to by lucky if one gets one. I think I have been lucky a bit in finding 247-host.com while looking for some decent hosting company for my small scale business.
Just found their price structure and the related space, bandwidth, hosting panel and other features in their package sort of unbelievable at the cost they are offering. Yet I could also find reasonable signs of credibility as 247-host.com had awards of some high rated companies plus phone and chat support etc. to force me to think that I can go ahead.
The experience has been good. Uptime of 247-host.com – good to say the least, support – well I say they know well what they are doing and try to assist every time I have contacted them. It’s going well with them and it seems I will not have to change my web hosting company in days to come, which is a nice feeling.
247-host.com is my recommended host.
Jones, 17th 2008f July, 2008
I found 247-host.com in one of the Canadian web hosting forums. My first impression about hosting has been that the cheapest web hosting providers are rarely one the best hosting providers as well. Yet seeing that they have adequate means of customer support in terms of 24/7 phone support, on line chat services and a support ticketing system integrated I choose to go ahead with them.

247-host in not only the most affordable web host out there , but their uptime has been great, and I'd say it has been over 99%, and my site hasn't gone down in months.

I have worked with several web hosting companies as an administrator and their web hosting service is by far some of the best starting from speed of setup, the billing, response to technical support issues and the general attitude towards dealing customers.
I have never had a billing issue with them, and their technical support rarely takes more than an hour to get a reply, and rarely takes long to solve the issue.

I'd refer anyone looking for a reseller account (I hear good things about their dedicated servers as well) to them in an instant.

So, in conclusion, it has been a perfect hosting experience to date and I would surely not hesitate in recommending them.
Space.gs again, 13th 2008f July, 2008
I notice a lot of short spam postings praising 247, which are no doubt either from people who work for 247 or who must be lying or just inexperienced. They really are the worst host company in the galaxy. I'm with Lunarpages.com - the only company I recommend to anyone (- although Dreamhost are good as registrars). Don't go to a cheap hosting company - you don't need to - you can have 2 years at the moment on Lunarpages for only $118.80 - and no, I don't work for them, yet, although I've been thinking about their affiliate program.
Cook, 11th 2008f July, 2008
247-Host.com are good in hosting business, some very low cost, high bandwidth offer and years of experience behing them.
I found them good for my hosting, no issues, no tickets,no stories. Good hosting.
Iqra, 10th 2008f July, 2008
247-HOST.COM are decent, hardworking and technically sound group of people who seem to know well about server management and cpanel hosting. I have been pretty much at ease ever since I joined them. Respond well in time and resolve issues instead of usual stories I used to have with my past host. Recommended.
Alex, 15th 2008f June, 2008
Nice hosting company. Have been with them for 3 years now, no issues really, Occasional planned downtime. Very responsive staff who is technically sound. 247-Host have been that good to me that I have not thought of changing them and thats says it all.
Cook, 10th 2008f June, 2008
I have been a customer of 247-host.com and I feel I have been a smart to select them. Hosting with them have been peace of mind as I am free now from many day to day issues I used to have many a times with other hosts.
Cost is pretty low and hosting is fine, so nothing stopping me to recommend it around.
Harper, 27th 2008f May, 2008
Good Host. Been with them for a year now. I have told all my friends to join them. They are eager to do better and thats what counts when one is looking for good host.
Ibrar, 26th 2008f May, 2008
I selected 247-host.com because I could find visible sites of good host eg toll free phone, customer support ticketing system, billing system, hosting awards, good hosting panel and above all decent cost structure.
I have not been disappointed in 3 years with them, Never thought of changing them.
Trench, 20th 2008f April, 2008
247-host.com is good for me. Smooth, trouble free and over and above that cheap as well. Could not ask more.
Shahab Akhavan, 19th 2008f March, 2008
been with them for two years, no problem so far. having some downtime is normal with all host

Just searching host, Just started checking on 247-host when I found them in various positive and negative reviews here and there. Some of the areas which I could locate may help. Of course the reviews here are also useful. Below are some of the l inks which seem bit authentic about 247-host.com :-
http://www.webhostingstuff.com/uptime/247Hostcom.html
http://hostreview.com/webhostaward/200705top10fastestgrowingwebhost.html
http://www.ratemyhost.com/ (recommended hosts list towards right lower side of home page).

The above seem decent locations to find utp time and reliability. I also find they have some support mechanism like chat, ticketing system integrated.

I think I would go on signing with them. Let us see what comments I mention after few days or weeks or months.

Naila, 14th 2008f March, 2008
247-host was helpful in helping me get my account set up and running. I had dealt with numerous other hosting companies in Canada as well as USA who made me feel stupid for asking questions and then refused to offer a suitable answer. After having my fears abated by the sales department I was pleased to find the technical support was just as nice, they were very helpful and I never felt degraded in dealing with them. I do not remember to have any issues related to uptime or lazy customer support or any thing else in my 5 months experience with them. What amazes me is that they are surely one of the lowest cost hosting service providers in the industry.
David J Cook, 13th 2008f March, 2008
The short (positive) posts here appear to be made by people on the 247-host payroll - noone who has really had an account with them would ever say anything good about them. They are a bunch of morons of the first order.
Brian, 10th 2008f March, 2008
Good host really, if you are looking for some company which can take care of your web site, I think 247-host.com may be the answer, at least so is it with me.
I am happy to have joined them and its working well.
Rajesh Mehta, 08th 2008f March, 2008
Nice to be with 247-host. See lot of reviews here about them. Well merely my visiting this site and add a comment for them means they are good,
Well done 247-host keep it up.
Regards
Sofia, 21st 2008f February, 2008
Nice experience hosting with them. I am happy with 247-host.com
Buckner, 18th 2008f February, 2008
It's a very high quality and cheap hosting. For $1.99 you can get almost everything you can think of i.e. a cpanel, a file manager, unlimited email accounts, mysql, and tonnes of scripts free of cost. Over a above that they have a nice billing mechanism, ticketing system and web development tool. You also get FTP accounts. I also got a real time experience of 24/7 tech support. For me it's the best hosting option cause it's cheap and high performance.

Once I see their list of awards I am often amazed. They have rated highly by Findmyhost.com, ratemyhost.com, hostreview.com, and webhostdir.com which is a hard distinction for a web hosting company.
Sergio, 08th 2008f February, 2008
im runing a site, thats works ok in their basic plan so was great, cheap and working fine
Then i started to charge people for use my info services, and seems that this make they dont like it, because they suddenly with no warning suspended my account and ask me to pay 6 times the original fee, and say that my "exces of use of the resoruses was the cause" as they have my information and customer membership databases (doomy of me i know) i pay for the upgrade, the spend 48 hours in put my site on line and then this "virtual host" never work fine, it was pledge of bugs, the support was really bad, and one more ting the are not 24-7 hours to support you as they tell, is allmost a miracle to find them when things go wrong

Sorry
Alexander, 30th 2008f January, 2008
It has been nice experience hosting with 247-host.com.
Well done 247-host keep it up.
Maria, 27th 2008f January, 2008
I am new to hosting. Luckily found 247-host.com in web search. I checked few things about them and found that they are good so went ahead to host my site with them. I think I did a good thing. 247-host.com seem good hosting company indeed.
Mike, 25th 2008f January, 2008
Best price, fast, capable support team, great uptime A++++ host.
247-host.com are Great people to work with.
Steve, 24th 2008f January, 2008
Its really hard these days to dig out a decent hosting company, at times it gets even pretty scary these days to search a web hosting company on the net. The price variations and offerings are many a time so confusing that one has to be lucky if one gets a decent host.
In my similar search I happen to locate 247-host.com. Just found their price structure and the related space, bandwidth, hosting panel and other features in their packages very competitive and coupled with that is their credibility as they had awards of some high rated companies plus phone and chat support etc. All this made me go ahead with hosting my site with them.
The experience has been good. Uptime – good, support – they know what they are doing.
It’s going well with them which is a nice feeling. Recommended host.
John, 24th 2008f January, 2008
I found 247-host.com in one of the Canadian web hosting forums. General impression I had about hosting is that the cheapest web hosting providers are not best hosting providers as well. Yet when I could find adequate means of customer support in terms of phone support, on line chat services and a support ticketing system integrated I decided to go ahead with 247-host.com.

247-host is affordable web host out there , with uptime over 99%.
Response to technical support issues and the general attitude towards dealing customers is good with 247-host.
I have never had a billing issue with them. I'd refer anyone looking for a reseller account.
Space and Astronautics News, 23rd 2008f January, 2008
I am ranked No.1 on Google and other major search engines for 'astronautics news'. I didn't get there by tolerating incompetent idiots like 247-host.com After suffering continuous server outages (sometimes 6 or 7 a day) and experiencing their insolent, arrogant and indifferent behaviour, I have come to the conclusion that 247-host.com are the worst hosting company in the know Universe.

David J Cook FRAS, AMInstP, CEO, Space and Astronautics News
Benjamin, 21st 2008f January, 2008
I've been using many host services and 247-host is the worst host service, they have high downtime, bad customer support and they suspended my account without any notice. Its money back guarantee is false. I have migrated all my clients to hostgator that is really good. I don't recommend 247-host at all, be careful. my main domain is unegocios.com and is still down :)
alahwala, 14th 2008f January, 2008
It has been one of the best things that I joined them. 247-host.com is well managed Canadian hosting company who knows how to assist me and I am having some real peace of mind while hosting with them.
anwar, 12th 2007f December, 2007
A nice experience of hosting with them. Surely they know what they are doing. If you are looking for uptime and quality hosting services, they are the ones you should join. A recommended host.
amjad, 15th 2007f October, 2007
I am with 247-host for the past 2 years and I have tried quite a few other hosting providers as well. I should review 247-host in 2 way ie why I selected them, and secondly why I am staying with them

1. The #1 reason I choose 247-host was that they have all visible signs leading to strong customer support.
#2 reason is Bandwidth they offer, the lowest plan at 100GB WHO, thats by far the best I have seen.
#3. Awstats preinstalled.
#4. Quite a powerful control panel, in fact the top cpanel of web hosting.

2. Why I am staying with them, well only one reason, believe me I never had many issues with my web hosting experience with them and whatever little issues were there these were resolved in matter of hours.
Roger, 27th 2007f September, 2007
Great Host. Been with them 1 year now. I told all my friends to join. They offer fantastico and a great site builder. Makes it so much easier to get your site up and running! And of course there support staff is eager to help and available all the time :)
James, 27th 2007f September, 2007
Yes I agree.

If their downtime is so bad, why has it been at 100% the last 4 months?

http://www.webhostingstuff.com/uptime/247Hostcom.html

I have hosting with them for over 2 years now. No problems whatsoever.
Marcus, 27th 2007f September, 2007
I have NEVER experienced customer service this BAD before in all my years online and in person. Their servers are ALWAYS crashing (2xs a week or more), they always give the same reasoning why stating "there was an error on this server and we had to do an OS reboot".

They offer no courtesies for their constant mishaps, no refunds, NOTHING but a simple "wait it out" from their hosting staff.

No way of getting a hold of them by phone, they never return any calls even if you leave a detailed message like it states, everything is thru email and if your lucky enough to get a response in time, they give you the same explanation or they just tell you to "wait it out, hopefully it will be fixed soon." Even after the fact....STILL the same problems no less than 48 hrs later occur yet again. Whenever they fix the problem at hand 24hrs + later, they mess up something else wether it be email access, ftp access, etc. I usually got lucky when a week went by and nothing faulty happened on their end.

Their online support is UTTERLY rude and one in particular by the name of Shaun is lucky enough to be employed with his attitude. They never give any detail explanations and are quick to leave you in the midst of typing in a question while using their online support.

They also tried putting the blame on me when their servers crashed again saying the reason my site was down is because I didnt pay.......when they blatantly took the money out of my account when made the payment.

It is obvious that there is some sort of "upgrade scam" going on with them as well because many customers with the basic accounts go thru these similar problems more so and they run into 2 lesser problems out of the the 20 they have already if you upgrade to a premium account.


247-HOST IS ABSOLUTELY HORRID AND THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE YOU WILL EVER EXPERIENCE!!! I recommend anyone with them to leave now before they experience the same problems I had. I made sure to file a claim with my credit card company and the better business bureau for their shitty service.

And its odd that the reviewers online here and on other sites applauding their service give hardly no explanation as to how good their service really is. It never goes beyond 25 words or very vague. Good to see the 247Host STAFF going the distance in looking out for each other....least by knowing that they care about something because it for DAMN sure wasn't this former paying customer.

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!! WORST HOST PROVIDER ON THE WEB HANDS DOWN!!!!!!
Don C., 26th 2007f September, 2007
Awsome Hosting provider. I have been with 247-Host.com for over 2 years now. At first, like many, I was hesitant to join becuase of the hard to believe prices but I was extremely impressed by their uptime and support. I have since asked many of my friends to join. Very good hosting solution!
Danny, 25th 2007f September, 2007

So far I am very happy with 247-host

Best price, almost 5 times less than my host! Support team is very fast and polite. Great uptime, better than 99.9%. I have recommended them to most of my friends.

A++++
Rejean H., 28th 2007f August, 2007
Great Host. Highly recommend them. I moved all my sites to them over the last 2 years and saved hundreds of dollars!

Very fast and reliable support. Best value for your money. Would recommend them highly!
Brian, 26th 2007f August, 2007
So far I am very impressed by their service and support response time. Very good pricing and I a now getting my friends to signup with them!

Highly recommend them - A++++
Jay, 23rd 2007f August, 2007
Excellent hosting. Prices are amazing. $1.99/month hosting! They have reseller plans as well. The support given by them was great. 24/7. By far the best hosting comany I have ever dealt with.
Rej, 22nd 2007f August, 2007
Their old name was icanahost.com

Was there for less than a month and they are horrible. They even wrote me that they do not support cPanel problems. They have frequent downtime, have no staff (seem to be a two person company).

cPanel full backup did not work for more than a week and they did not care.

Very rude tech support and when you call, they make you believe they are busy but in fact no-one is there even for days...

They often tell you to upgrade to a higher plan or dedicated server if you want better tech support.

Stay away from that company, it is better to pay few dollar more a month and have good service.
Eddie G., 08th 2007f August, 2007
Very good hosting solution and best price I have seen so far. I can host unlimited domains for $3.99/month. I use to pay fover 5 times more with my old host. I highly recommend 247-host.com

Very reliable hosting. Support is much better than my old host, especially when paying $1.99/month ! Would highly recommend them.
Brian D., 10th 2007f July, 2007
I was in need of a reliable, powerful and cost-effective hosting solution and 247-Host was the best hosting Company I could ever choose. They provided stunning customer support and great technical response. I will certainly recommend 247-Host in the future.
Tom, 09th 2007f July, 2007
Excellent support. Techs are availble 24/7. They have great prices and plans!

Very happy customer.
Brittany, 06th 2007f July, 2007
THIS HOST IS A CON, A FRAUD, THEY JUST TRY TO RIP YOU OFF YOUR MONEY.

THEY LIED TO ME TO RIP ME OFF MY MONEY TO SWITCH TO PAYING OVER $100/MONTH.

AND THEY WONT GIVE ME A BACKUP OF MY SITE UNLESS I PAY A FEE OF $20 FOR MY SITE AND MY CLIENTS WEBSITES.

DO NO GO WITH THEM! GO WITH surpasshosting.com BETTER.

247-HOST IS THE WORST! THEY ARE FRAUDS AND LIARS WHO JUST WANT YOUR MONEY!
Tom, 03rd 2007f July, 2007
I've been with them for 2 years roughly, the first months were just fine.
Then the downtimes appeared (couple times a day, for several days), and extreme slowliness. Coupled with the expired SSL certs and the seemingly inexistant support, i decided it's time to move on.
lordmwesh, 06th 2007f June, 2007
I might not have been with the company for long, probably only two months, the support is promptly, and I have only had one downtime so far. Support promised that I will never experience any problem after the fix. If that is true, i will stay with them forever.
Joe C., 05th 2007f June, 2007
No problems so far. Very prompt service and support. By far the best prices I have seen. Woudl highly recommend them.

Lordmwesh, 04th 2007f June, 2007
me:We are experiencing downtime therefore websites we have hosted are all dead.
Is there a problem on your side?

247-host: server is undergoing a reboot. it will be fixed very shortly. thank you.

ME: I have never known or heard of a server undergoing a reboot, letalone a reboot that takes several hours. How long should i expect to be down, and all my clients?
Do you have a premium service that i can upgrade to and avoid downtime?
It seems its time to switch to a more serious resseller company.

247-host:Dear customer,
Servers do undergo reboots and this is common procedure.. Unfortunatly after this reboot the server has not come back online.
Our level II techs are working on this problem and we hope to have it fixed asap.
Please keep in mind that we are doing our best to have this fixed as soon as possible.

If you want to be on a better server, you can upgrade to a SUPER and higher plan and have more reliability on a better machine.
We would migrate your data free of charge. If you would like to be upgraded, please let us know.


------------------
This is horror story and it happened to me.
VERDICT: CHEAP IS VERY EXPENSIVE. STAY AWAY FROM THEM
daniel k, 14th 2007f May, 2007

David R., 19th 2007f April, 2007
247-Host.com has been hosting 3 of my websites for over years, and I am very pleased with the uptime (over 99.9%). I recommend 247-Host to everyone. The prices are great, so you will find a plan for all budgets.
Michelle Lois, 13th 2007f April, 2007
I have been with 247-host for over 1 year now and have had no problems. There support staff are really nice and helpful. I get unlimited features for amost 1/4 the price I use to pay with my old host. I searched through several hosts before I came to 247-Host, and they have by far the best price. Give them a try!
Roy - Excellent Hosting, 12th 2007f April, 2007
Great Host. Very good price. Etremely professional staff and extremely helpful. The control panel is by extremely easy to use and has very good features. The price was amazing as well, as I had a tight budget. I would highly recommend 247-host.com !
NONE, 11th 2007f April, 2007
THE WORST WEB OSTING EVER!!! MY SITE AND MY CUSTOMERS GET DOWNTIMES EVERYDAY!!!! DO NOT GO WITH THIS HOST, THEY MAY BE CHEAP BUT THEY SUCK, KEEP YOUR MONEY IN YOUR POCKET AND DONT PAY FOR DOWNTIME AND BULL****
Johnson - 247-Host A++++, 10th 2007f April, 2007
I have had no problems with 247-host. Great Company and uptime offerred was 99.9% and around teh clock support. By far the best price in hosting and they offer a fantastic product. I would highly recommedn them.

Johnson
Shopping for a new host, 10th 2007f April, 2007
They should rename the company -- downtime can be as high as 50% in one month. We were down for a week and they acted like we were bothering them when we keep asking then for an ETA. Who knows how much business we lost. This is hands-down the worst hosting company we have had. Cheap, yes, but you get what you pay for.
George, 17th 2007f March, 2007
So far I have had a good experience with 247-Host.com. I have been hosting iwth them for 2 years now. The best thing I like about them is the price. I have been very impressed with their uptime and support for the price I pay. I use to pay over $100 for a hosting package and now I pay a fraction of the cost,with even better features and support than my old old host.
Nick K., 07th 2007f March, 2007
Very good service. I really like the RvSiteBuilder and ClientExec combo they offer. I still can't believe the price!
Spohie, 07th 2007f March, 2007
Very happy with service
A+++ customer support!
John, 07th 2007f March, 2007
Exccellent service.
Roy, 06th 2007f March, 2007
Great Host. No problems so far. Referred many of my friends. I am purchasing their Extreme plan next week!
Yuri, 06th 2007f March, 2007
Very bad service.
There is no real support , I post ticket on site and waiting on ticket response four days! I can't to sent mail , I can't get mail , this problem is :
The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server.Server Response: '451 Temporary local problem - please try later', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 451, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

Later is four (4) days .

You want this "exelent " hosting ?
Ryan, 05th 2007f March, 2007
A friend referred me to 247-Host. I was using another host earlier (no names mentioned) and was bing charged almost 7 times more than what 247-Host offerred. At first I as hesitant, so I transsferred a few sites. But after seeing the reliability and support I transferred all my sites to 247-host. Like many of my friends, I am very happy with the service 247-Host.com offers. i highly recommend them and if you are paying hundreds of dollars for hosting....I would say just stop and take a look at 247-Host.com. You can save a lot of money and get very good support and reliability.
Jean Francois, 03rd 2007f March, 2007
I was looking to host my website and came across their company. Read some bad reviews so I was a little skeptical but when I went to their website and clicked on Live Chat..there was a sales agent sitting to answer all my questions at 1am at night. He was very helpful and convinced me to give them a try and I did. I haven't been dissappointed with their server uptime or tech support for the past 6 months that I have been with them. I guess it is not always good to go by what other people say. For what I pay I couldn't be more satisfied. Try them. Jean Francois
johnny, 02nd 2007f March, 2007
yes i do notice that after every negative post, there is a short positive post. honestly, you are a complete moron if you believe the postive posts. this company has issues. you WILL have downtime on a daily basis. i have no reason to lie to you.
David, 23rd 2007f February, 2007
I am impressed with the supprt team at 247-Host.com. Very fast support and very nice people to deal with.
Todd, 20th 2007f February, 2007
So far very happy with the customer service and support. Was afraid at first on signing up but have been very pleased with uptime and support.

Keep up the good work 247-Host !
ONE PISSED CUSTOMER, 20th 2007f February, 2007
NEVER EXPERIENCED FREQUENT DOWNTIMES UNTIL I SIGNED UP WITH THIS CRAP HOST. STAY AWAY UNLESS YOU WANT FREQUENT DOWNTIMES AND SLOW LOADING WEBSITES.

Top notch host. very happy. By far the best prices.
Jason, 10th 2007f January, 2007
One of the best companies I have ever tried. Very good pricing as well.
Tiago S., 10th 2007f January, 2007
One of the worst web hosting company I have ever tried!

Stay away, or charge back!
Ram Singh, 08th 2007f January, 2007
Nice Host. I have had no problems so far. Very fast connection.

Ram
Hugo, 07th 2007f January, 2007
I take that back. I got a bit carried away. They fixed all my problems. Server is working with no problems now. I woudl recommend 247-host.com
Roger, 04th 2007f January, 2007
Very Good Host.
Deep, 01st 2007f January, 2007
As such there is not much problems, but for people who wants to host business sites please keep away from 247-host.com
Hugo (again), 31st 2006f December, 2006
I was browsing this list and you can also see how misleading some reviews are. Almost immediately after a REAL bad review there is a good short review. Who do you think is writing these "good" reviews?

Where is this company located? Who runs this company

I want to sue them but apparently they do not disclose their legal address
Hugo, 31st 2006f December, 2006
Please avoid this company at all costs. They respond fast to complaints but do NOT resolve anything. The technical staff have not idea of how the Apache server works. When I had configuration problems I had to teach them how to proceed. Now I am experimenting serious problems, losing incoming mail, being unable to access my web sites for the las 10 days. The best they could say was: "There is a user abusing the system and we will removing the user soon". What do they mean by "soon"? It was going on for 10 days now
Nina, 16th 2006f December, 2006
I have had no problems with 247-host.com

Very good host! 247-host.com is the best host I have used and the #1 host
Maksazone.com, 16th 2006f December, 2006
i m really upset with their server. daily dowtime. every week atleast 3 or 4 hours down time. i want some good host now. :(
Ryan, 15th 2006f December, 2006
Very good host!
Evan, 15th 2006f December, 2006
Great Host . No problems at all.
johnny, 12th 2006f December, 2006
the comment right below me, is bull! AS i said, there is downtime on a DAILY basis. usually 2a to 5a. However, my server has been down since 8p last night. and is still not up (it's now 4a)
Ron G., 02nd 2006f December, 2006
I Highly recommend 247-host.com
Very good support, 99.9% uptime
johnny, 01st 2006f December, 2006
honestly, the prices are great! but there is DOWNTIME on almost a daily basis. for anyone needed mission critical hosting and 100% uptime, this is not the host for you.
James Neary, 28th 2006f November, 2006
Great Host!
muneer, 25th 2006f November, 2006
Best reseller hosting services I came across.
Vikram, 24th 2006f November, 2006
Great Host! Rock solid. I would recommend them for the following reasons:

1) They have a amazing support. Very fast and extremey curtious to response.

2) Prices, Prices, Prices! Wow. You have to check out 247-host.com prices. they have the best prices I have ever seen. At first was a bit worried about the lower prices (as compred to other companies such as HostGator - but after testing them out for the last 1 year - their service is by far the best I have seen. I would highly recommed them for the great service they offer.

3) I also like the cpanel and the options they give. My Power reseller plan came with a site builder that offers hundreds of templates. Very easy to work with and makes your sites so nice!

I recommended them several of my friends and they are now using them as well. They are all on different servers and they are all enhoying the service.

I would highly recommend 247-Host.com !
Edward Noel, 22nd 2006f November, 2006
I love their support. The prices are also by far the best. You really get a good deal.
Tom Hood, 21st 2006f November, 2006
So far the best host i have used.
Rohit G, 20th 2006f November, 2006
I liked their support. Ver y good host. Would highly recommend.
Sony Varghese, 20th 2006f November, 2006
Very poor service and support.
Half the time the mail me back saying "The server has been fixed" and if i check, the site will still be down.

This is by far the worst host i have ever dealt with. Their 99% uptime policy is not true.

The have unbeatable prices - but they compromise that on service and uptime.

So use this hosting only if you need to do some kiddy hosting. Never use it for business - YOU WILL REGRET!!

I hosted a customer of mine on their servers and i lost that customer because of 247's poor hosting.
Joe N., 20th 2006f November, 2006
Great Host. Very good support.
Amaizng prices.
nonofyourdambusiness, 20th 2006f November, 2006
Seriously stay away from these mofos. Downtime, Spam up the wazzu, horrible service, nasty tech support when you do get through. They told me I would have to pay for level 2 tech support even though that was never their policy or in the agreement I told them no and they passed me on to Level 2, DON"T PAY, DON"T EVEN WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS HOLE IN THE WALL OF A COMPANY.

mwwaraitch, 19th 2006f November, 2006
Have been a reseller with them. Nice ppl to work with.
Nick Walsh, 18th 2006f November, 2006
I really like their support. Very fast. Would definitly recommend
Eric, 24th 2006f September, 2006
Great Host. No problems so far.
Harry W Kim, 19th 2006f September, 2006
THE WORST HOST SITE EVER!!! Their unresponsiveness over the past 4 days are seriously hurting my business. I will attempt to take punitive action.
Jacki, 07th 2006f September, 2006
2 server DOWNs in two weeks.

They seem to use Windows and a Pentium3 500Mhs, jajaja.

I have been with them for over 2 years with only a few problems. However U have had an issue now for over a week. 2 support incidents on their website and 3 emails sent ! To date no response from their support team, not even an acknowledgement of ny problem. I have over 50 domains there, and I am moving them to another host on Monday. If service is important to you don't waste your time with these clowns
Grant, 10th 2006f May, 2006
Great Hosting! Been with them 2 years. Vrey good uptime and very fast support.
Sophie Evans, 07th 2006f April, 2006

extract of emails to 247-host BEFORE RESPONSE almost 5hrs later..review for yourself

Over 3hours & still waiting.

I may be wrong about my expected response times, or just too tired to be impartial given we are going on midnight here, so I shall await the time of your reply and explanation before submitting a review as drafted below.

Enough time and money has been invested in this for tonight.

Good night and regards,

We requested some info (see below) about 1.5 hours ago and it appears you do not have 24/7 chat or email support.

What times are support available as my customer in Australia would often be your night and early morning hours?

Hi Not sure if you have 24/7 sales support, if not we hope you can reply to the below for them.

Ps: this is also a good way to test of the 24/7 support for reselling.

Hi,


We are setting up an online service in Australia and plan to resell hosting, domains etc.


Do you have multi currency payment options or support?
How many static IP’s do we get to provide end users if requested?
Can our host site appear the same as yours, but with our branding for web pages? Support responses, etc?
Will our host site, form part of the traffic and space quota or do we get our site free, similar to others?
Are the servers your own?
Can we choose Linux and windows servers? If not which one?
Do you have any resellers in Australia?
Looking forward to your reply.
James, 27th 2006f February, 2006
247-Host is so far the best host I have used.
