Web Hosting Reviews and Ratings |

I had my website hosted by hostforweb for over 4 years and saw their service drop from stellar to absolutely horrible, forcing me to seek out a new hosting company.
I don't know where to begin with how disappointed I was with them.
Their mailservers went down almost every two weeks until I finally hired a third party to handle my mailing lists.
When I had problems, their tech support was so incompetent that I often would have to ask the tech support for my message boards look into the hostforweb problems to tell me how to tell HFW tech support how to fix it.
Once, they suspended my account without prior notice and accused me of using the website to spread spam. I had to instruct tech support on how to read the header of the offending email to show that it was spoofed and not from my website.
The first time their server hosting our site was hacked it was through, according to their own words, "An old and well known bug in Cpanel". When I asked them why this "old and well known" security problem hadn't been patched or updated they told me to "ask the Cpanel developers". So you see, the fact that they are funning outdated and unpatched versions of cpanel, it's the developers of Cpanel's fault.
The final straw that made me find a new host was the last time their server hosting my site was hacked. Again, a script kiddie exploited a security loophole in the outdated and unpatched version of apache they were running. The difference this time was that after I alerted them to the fact that my users were being attacked a trojan virus it took ten days (9 of which I was unable to upload any files)before they would even acknowledge that the server had been compromised. When they finally did see the problem, they accused me of being responsible and suspended my account until I fixed the problem. Luckily, my new webhost was ready to roll just a few hours later. No problems since I changed hosts.
On a final note: I started with a 10 dollar a month account. Even though I wasn't using the maximum resources allotted to my account, they claimed that I needed to upgrade to a Virtual Private Server. I barely used the resources on the VPS and continued to have problems. Again, they suggested a dedicated server. I was paying $169 a month for worse service than I have now at my new host for $20 dollars a month.
In short, Hostforweb is the worst webhost I could ever imagine. In 2003, they were the best. |

I am a reseller with Hostforweb.com and have a minor problem that is turning into a major problem.
A number of email addresses within my clients can't receive server generated activation or verification emails, and therefore, cannot join many professional sites. It seems to be problematic with php generated email.
The last two sites that I have tried to join are:
Drupal.org and Joomla.org.
HostforWeb keeps saying that is the fault of the webserver that I am trying to activate membership on. I am getting the royal run around while I am losing paying accounts.
Any body with this problem on HostforWeb.com or any other web host?
Also, I can receive the verification email on other mail addresses - both POP and IMAP. |
