| A very poor choice as a service provider. |

| Most unethical company I have ever run into! |
|
| Anonymous, 08th 2009 June, 2009 |
I have been with them for 3 years now. I am not a professional web page person, but I do know that some of the things going on with my site are screwed up. I have gotten horrible responses to problems and half the time my site doesn't come up with my company name it is through their server name. Now their server name isn't even working.
Please someone tell me who to go with so that I can get on with it! UGH!!
Thanks in advance.
PS: I am a Mac user if that makes any difference. |

| I've been with meccahosting for over 3 years now and the service has been great. I'll admit that I really don't know anything about building websites, but with their Site Studio program it was easy and I get MANY compliments on how great my site is. |

| I was a Meccahosting customer since 2004. For serveral years they provided me great service. Not sure what happened, but in the last year it all fell apart. Their uptime and the quality their support went down quickly. I canceled my account today. |

| I am looking for a website host and looked at meccahosting. Thanks for letting us know NOT to go with them. |

No control over subdomains or any advanced options.
My experience: Their system dropped hosting prematurely. Customer support is either automated or outsourced to the cheapest sources imaginable.
The issue of the fact that they continually sent irrelevant canned responses eclipsed the original support issue. Pete, who I believe is in charge of support, was unwilling to address most of my complaints directly. The compensation was 10 extra months of service, but I had to pretty much ask for an outright apology for how I was treated. The apology was also rather disheartening.

MONTY,
THANKS! I am starting the process now.

Ron - There are tons of companies from which to choose. That Blue Host name came up okay on the reviews list, but since I haven't finished the process, I can't officially vouch for or against them. http://www.bluehost.com/
Still, they were helpful on the PHONE (what a concept). It's a two-step process. It's very easy to start an account (like with all of them - they're very happy to take your money and get you set up). It's extricating yourself from the old host that is difficult. Blue Host looked up who had my domain and found that Network Solutions company. I called them and Network Solutions explained how I could get control of the domain from mecca hosting. I started that yesterday (oh yes - and mecca was supposed to call me within 1 business day- HA!). I knew that wouldn't happen so started the forcible takeover of domain control. Network Solutions (or whoever has your domain) will give you a form to do this. Just fax it back to them.
The way I understand it, when Network Solutions has completed the forcible control transfer, I can logon to their site and point to my new host servers, which allow e-mail to be resumed for my domain name. |

| RON, 04th 2008 June, 2008 |
Same problem here. I still can't access email. Can someone advise on how to transfer my service to another company. I am not a webmaster and I am not sure how to get my information such as the DNS info etc. HELP!
Also any advise on a better webhosting company? |
|
| Shea, 04th 2008 June, 2008 |
Here's some more info for you. This answers alot. This H1 data center "event" is affecting lots of companies.
I'm just an individual customer, so am just now figuring this out. It's old news to everyone else I guess. Apparently, it's far wider than just mecca hosting, though. Regardless, I'm moving my accounts from mecca hosting, too. 1) They should have provided us information (or a backup plan for this), and 2) I have to get my sites up and going again.
Data center event/fire/FBI raid? Who knows?

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=5145640
Looks like it's nothing more than they lost their servers and didn't have a backup plan in case of an extensive outage. I'm just trying to save myself, now. Monty is right - Run for the hills. Find another company that works and move your sites there.

| Here's my course of action. Network Solutions said it would take 2 to 3 days to wrestle control of the domain away from mecca hosting, so I didn't waste time starting that. The catch is that mecca controls the domain. As such, I had to actually fax Network Solutions a form specifying that I wanted individual control of the domain because of unresponsive service from the hosting company. At that point, I can re-establish e-mail through an account at Blue Host ( http://www.bluehost.com/ ), which I'm trying. They appear to have had decent reviews, at least. I've talked with them a couple of times already - yes, by TELEPHONE (Wow!). I guess I will just write off all the e-mails I've missed and ping customers who may have tried to contact me. Fortunately, I'm not a web-based business. I cancelled the other two web hosting accounts I had at mecca hosting just this morning. If they have had a major disaster and had let the customers know about it, as well as their recovery path, then I might forgive that. Keeping customers in the dark is unforgivable. |

haven't had email access in 4 days now, no way to contact the company aside from the explosion and fire phone number. Has anybody heard anything? this will kill my business
|
|
| Monty, 03rd 2008 June, 2008 |
| Since no other information available from mecca hosting, this list seems to be the only way to transmit information. I started process to transfer domain to another host. When contacting Network Solutions (domain host), they said that this would have to be initiated by mecca. I tried to call a number listed on NS for mecca - only phone number I've found (Mecca: 1 866 996 5959). A recorded message describes explosion and fire (yes - you read that correctly. Call yourself). I tried to cancel another hosting account I had and was not allowed to do this through the account manager on mecca. I will call credit card company tomorrow and stop future payments. RUN FOR THE HILLS! They deserve a big lawsuit if there's any company left after all of this. |

| Dead in the water now entering 4-days: Cannot receive mail from two email accounts and one website has disappeared due to ns10.meccahosting.com and ns2.meccahosting.com name server fails, no way to contact by phone, phone message to Service Manager Pete Howell not returned (this is the phone extension printed in their "Welcome" email), internal messaging system doesn't work, even message.meccahosting.com doesn't work , account webpage functions fail to load, no way to redirect domain names, etc. --- out of business? Doors closed? |
|
| Shea, 03rd 2008 June, 2008 |
| I used to get halfway decent responses from these people via web support; however, this time their phone is down, I haven't gotten e-mail for three days, and no explanatory message is on their website. I think they closed their doors and didn't tell the customers. I'm about to be looking for a lawyer to sue for damages, that is, if there is even a company still out there. I suspect they've taken our credit card numbers and headed for Mexico. |

Started out OK (2005-2007)
In 2008 they started falling apart.
Downtime...poor support. |
|
| Anonymous, 02nd 2008 June, 2008 |
Email service down for three straight days. Problem report submission not functioning either. Company phone number no longer on their website.
Done with their service as soon as I find a replacement. |
|
| Nicholas S, 01st 2008 June, 2008 |
| You would not believe how bad the service and the product is until you start having problems. They are no help at all and you will never get to speak to a real person. Email NEVER works when you need it the most. Please do yourself a favor and find a different company! I waited over a year before I finally made the change...So much happier when you can call if you have a problem. |

I've been with Mecca Hosting for a while and as the previous reviewer wrote: you get what you pay for. They claim 24/7 technical support but all that means is that you'll receive an automated email response that your problem has been escalated and someone will work on it within 24 hours.
Their support is a joke. Half the time the first answer is a canned response. Completely worthless.
Now they have been having serious problems with email forwarding. I have lost many, many emails due to them not being forwarded correctly. And I had no idea until I saw that I had a huge dropoff in the number of daily emails. It''s been 2 weeks and they still haven't fixed this.
So if you rely on emails for your business or personal use then I cannot recommend Mecca Hosting. |
|
| Karen S, 10th 2008 March, 2008 |
| Meccahosting is cheap and you get what you pay for. If you're okay with trying to access your importnat e-mail and getting a "server not responding" error message half the time then Mecca is for you. If you work on a Mac like me, don't expect easy access to your mail on Firefox either. |
