| Customer Service poor ... LiveSupport cut me off after waiting in queue for25 minutes - took 3 days to get response to email request - upgraded accoutn to get maillist capability - then later told that they only give you 3 maillists and they do not provide moderated mail lists - i'm now looking for another company |

I have been able to setup email and all other services and was initially very satisfied. I have setup websites before with other hosts and usuallly do not require a lot of support. However an issue with Sitebuilder is preventing me from publishing my website and Sitebuilder was one of the reasons I selected dotster as hosting company.
Even though I'm getting decent support with the 24/7 chat option, there is no follow-up besides a bunch of autoresponder emails.
If you depend on getting real support from real people who care about your issues and your business, I cannot recommend using this service. For now I will keep waiting patiently (while requesting support by chat and email) and hope eventually the issue is looked into. |

| I've got 2 clients struggling now with being unable to send out emails. We were told that one of dotsters email servers (8) is blacklisted. They say there's nothing they can do about it and will not move us to another server. Up to this point, I had found dotster customer service knowledgeable and helpful. Now we're all just stuck and are looking for alternatives |

| If your a professional developer, you will love this service. Excellent bandwidth only just topped by 1 and 1, but an average of about 5 times faster than 1 and 1, If your designing internet applications this is the host you want, it has the resources to host any project, and the speed to let you make them more robust. However I wouldn't recommend it to the less technically savvy or starters, 1and1 is the right choice for you if you fall into that category. |

You need to know about apache, dns, mx, the lot. They do give you the car but you are expected to know how to drive it. The key is technical knowledge. I've set up two without a problem.
If you don't know what named.conf does and how to edit it get a more basic package. |

| Very poor, could not get a responce out of their support. Closed the account |

| I'm having the same issue. Even the initial e-mail with the links to Virtuozzo and Plesk were wrong. The Plesk admin account is "admin", not "administrator", and the initial password was "setup", not the random gobbledygook that was sent in the mail. I'm highly irritated at them right now. The VPS for Windows plan has literally _no_ documentation associated with it. The SQL Server instance that was installed on my VPS is great, but no one seems to be able to tell me the user name and password to connect to it... highly _unrecommended_. |

| Their service is aweful. I bought the VPS plan and had it for 6 hours. I spent a half hour trying to get into tech support, while I paid for the phone call (Not Toll Free). All I needed was the settings to publish my site. There is no documentation on how to do the very inportant step. There is very little information on FTP settings. When I finally got into tech support. I was told we only provide the email links to get you initially on line with the VPS, the rest is up to you. I basically bought a car from them and was then told to go a find the keys to it somewhere. |
