Web Hosting Reviews and Ratings |
|
| Eric, 10th 2008f February, 2008 |
Purchased a 3 year plan and it went well for the "trial" period. After they had my money the support was terrible. Server crashes and constant downtime without help. Tried to charge me to reload a backup of our website when they crashed their own server.
Ended up moving to a different hosting company. Went through hell to get any kind of a refund, as they don't refund after the *tiral period*. (see the fine print).
They sent me a measly check for $58, which was at least something.
Turned out the check was BAD. They didn't even have $58 in the bank to cover it! Can you imagine operating a company with no money in the bank? Write out a bad check to a customer?
Here is a copy of the check...from 7/27/07.
http://www.stogiechat.com/badcheck.gif
They STILL will not make good and pay what they owe. Nor will they pay the NSF fees. Its now 2-10-2008 and still they refuse to do anything.
Other people looking for hosting need to know how this company operates. They are financially insecure, poor support, and can go bankrupt at any time. How important is your data?? |

| I've been with Micfo for almost 3 years now and never had any problems with them. Support has always been good and they have always answered me promptely. Suprising to read all these bad reviews, I have a total different experience. |

| Jack, 08th 2007f November, 2007 |
I signed up two days ago for the VPS Linux I received an email immediately saying my VPS would be up in 1 to 6 hours. Six hours later nothing, 12 hours - nothing, 24 hours I start calling. I called 6 times and never got a response, just a voicemail prompt. I went on chat, at which point the told me:
Mark: Let me check with the relevant dept.
Mark: Give me a moment for that
Jack: Any luck?
Mark: Well I have checked with the relevant dept.
Mark: as off now
Mark: we have placed an order for a main server
Mark: once we have that order we shall set your A/c up
Mark: as we don't have spare Linux server
That's right, they took my money but didn't actually have a server for me to use. Furthermore, when I went to cancel they told me this (after 15 different messages asking for the cancellation):
Jack: I have a meeting to attend. Please email me a confirmation of cancellation to jhamm@hnu.com
Mark: well we do not accept cancellation requests over chat
Jack: Why didn't you tell me that before?
Mark: well instead of cancellation i suggest
Jack: Let me make this easier, if I receive any charges on my business card I will charge them back and then initiate a complaint with your merchant provider. I've submitted a formal cancellation via your salesteam@micfo.com and I've attempted to call several times.
Jack: I have yet to receive any response except via this chat feature.
Mark: for the time being what don't you sign up for a reseller A/c
Mark: as we are getting a brand new VPS for you,
Mark: you can later upgrade ?
Jack: I don't want a reseller account. I don't want any account with your company. I've already explained myself, if I receive charges from your company I will contact my company attorney and chargeback any charges you attempt to initiate
Mark: kindly email your cancellation request to billing@micfo.com, we will cancel your account
Mark: thank you
These people are criminals. Don't do any business with them.

| All Host Auto Bill, 26th 2007f October, 2007 |
| The Best thing to do with Host that keep Billing you is file a chargeback with your credit card compnay. BUT BEWARE!!! Make sure they do not control your Domain or DNS or you may be very sorry. |

| Mesut Can ARBAZ, 08th 2007f October, 2007 |
I took my money back by contacting my bank :D
micfo sucks. |
|
| Mesut Can ARBAZ, 30th 2007f August, 2007 |
I think Micfo is a PHISHING site.
I have signed up, then paid money with credit card.
But i couldnt take any service.
I have sent tons of ticket but they didnt open my service.
in credit cart statement shows this :
24.08.2007 MICFO.COM TEL2132333938
9.95$
they took money, and they regret it. |

| They are gansters! I host 20+ sites with them and they are the worst hosting company in existance! Check your Credit Cards, they can not be trusted! |
|
| Nate, 18th 2007f March, 2007 |
| Lots of downtime, they'll charge your credit card without asking, and if you're a current customer, they won't upgrade your plan without a huge fee when they upgrade the default plans for new customers. Stay away. |

These two companies appear to be one and the same and both now have multiple complaints against them for fraudulently charging credit cards. Be advised that you should steer clear of the hosting scam artists at all costs! See me privately for more information!
Find the links below to fully backup my warning about this scam operation. Anyone who is a victim needs to contact me at once and I will make sure that they included in any criminal and civil complaints. Collectively we can put these scammers out of business!

| spade, 12th 2007f January, 2007 |
I've been terribly disappointed with Micfo. A full 6 weeks without webstats, unless a support ticket was submitted! Huh? WTF? A support ticket for stats?!
My account got suspended after they refunded me an overpayment - apparently it was automated cut off even though I had a ticket open and asked them about exactly this happening.
Servers have ground to a halt, email too.
I don't know what Micfo are up to but customers are going to start jumping ship before it sinks.
Unless I'm already too late because all of my sites are down tonight (again) and I can't even log in to my Micfo account because the connection times out. |

| Runi, 18th 2006f December, 2006 |
I've been a customer of micfo for 2 years, and the company's a joke.
My website has A LOT of downtime becuase of an overloaded server. They promise money back if you have a certain amount of downtime, but they offer no service where you can monitor your uptime. They also do not accept external downtime monitors. This leaves you completely oblivious about your actual downtime, and you have no evidence to submit.
This leaves micfo with the responsebility to report this to you, but trust me, they won't.
The micfo support department is a complete joke. The people that work there are incompotent and uncaring.
15 minutes response time is a very rare luxury in support tickets.
I have sent in atleast 50 tickets to support, and maybe 3 of them have been responded to within 20 minutes. Not so long ago i waited 36 hours before my ticket was answered, and the answer had absolutely nothing to do with the problem. The 5 minutes it was supposed to asnwer the ticked got up to 3 days.
Do not choose this host if you want descent uptime and good support |
|
| James, 08th 2006f November, 2006 |
I've been with them for a couple of years. They have gone so far downhill, I have no doubt that they will be out of business soon.
I'm moving my 14 sites to another provider, and saying good-bye to this scam artist.
Worst support. Email is down about 15% of the time. Servers are spotty! |
|
| Mattias, 26th 2006f October, 2006 |
| I have three accounts with micfo and I am very happy with both support and quality. |
|
| K.N., 03rd 2006f September, 2006 |
Not at the point yet of calling MICFO a scam (might get there soon though), but have been having a real repetitive headache with email problems for one of my add-on domains.
Worse than the actual problem is their inability to see the forest for the trees - recognizing, admitting and communicating a larger problem at hand and attempting to actually fix it. Tech support is being very evasive (even at the admin level), not even answering any deeper and direct questions.
While email response time is very acceptable (far more effective than phone support), just applying band-aid each time and stating "it is working now" is not going to keep me with them for long. Should I leave them, I will post the entire letter I sent today to their complaints dept, might be something in there for others to benefit from. |
|
| Unhappy, 27th 2006f June, 2006 |
| I've been with them for all of a month and have had daily outtages lasting 5 minutes or less. While I am furious over it I do have to say it has been better than Rapidvps.com. Since when did a reliable resellers account become so much to ask for? Either the services I've checked into can't do what I need or have horrible reviews. |
|
| Chad, 19th 2006f June, 2006 |
| I have been trying for over a day to cancel this service. I ordered it last week, and I am already cancelling. Their support team sends alot of responses but are clueless. Their chatting is no help. I have tried three times today to call them on the phone and waited over 10 minutes each time for no one to answer. STAY AWAY! Wish I had read the review here before ordering. There are better plans out there! |
|
| Jeffrey, 10th 2006f April, 2006 |
| Trying to leave this companys is a nightmare, I've received so many e-mails from them begging me to me stay, they can't seem to understand I have another server elswhere. Support is bad and slow and so is the uptime. Not a good choice! |
|
| Reugoff, 31st 2006f March, 2006 |
| We used Micfo for about six month's during this time they suspended our account cause we were using to much bandwidth. No one there could read a log file. At the time of the incident we downloaded four 4k pics (it took a week and a half before they would send us the log files so we could resolve it ourselves). we shortly after decided to move to another service. After taking 4 days of them begging us not to leave and offering free service they canceled it. Now afterwards we reveiwed our bank statements, we had electronic draft set-up for them. The bill they sent us was $9.95 a month they actually pulled $29.95 a month for the entire time we had service with them. I call them about this and they did everything but call me a liar. Still tring to get this resolved. They only owe me $100 bucks or so but its the priciple behind it. |
|
| andy, 22nd 2006f March, 2006 |
| If you ever see a positive review of micfo, trust me, it was written by thier own staff. These guys are scam artists. They might as well have first graders answering the phone for their 24/7 customer support. I have never been so frustrated with any service in my life. I am only writing this review to help others. I you read this please please please trust me, these guys are horrible!!!!!! They are a total scam!!!!! |
|
| Serra, 12th 2006f February, 2006 |
I've been with them for over 2 years. The first year or so things were great. Downtimes were rare, tech support was knowledgable and fast. You could always get in touch with someone via the 800#.
summer of 2005 something changed drastically. Frequent and unexplained downtimes. Support went downhill fast, billing issues that took days to even get someone to respond.
The boards are deceptive. When you go you see lots of happy posts, but what you may not realize is they are heavily moderated, posts are deleted on a regular basis, questions by upset customers are generally responded to by trying to shift blame back to the customer.
Now they have upgraded their packages, but long time customers have to pay a $50.00 fee in order to get the upgrades. They clearly posted that should any existing customers try to close their accounts and resign under the better packages, the orders will NOT complete. Absurd to treat the customers who have stayed with them through all their recent "bad times" that way.
Definately looking for new hosting. |
|
| Fernando, 06th 2006f February, 2006 |
Micfo is the worst hosting company I ever had.
Don't let you fool by this company. Sales are fast,
support is slow and imprecise.
In the begging due to a problem with IP missconfiguration
my website was inaccessible and instead a lingerie website
appeared where mine should be.
They made me loose my search engine rankings plus clients.
The worst part: they sold me the MG Super plan (less
than U$100 / year) I didn't even use a 30% of hd space
and transfer gb and they threatened me with closing my
service in 24 hs if I don't upgrade to another plan:
The new plan costs U$480 /year.
Micfo is the worst hosting company you can meet.
Don't loose your time and business with this awful company. |

| kevin, 06th 2006f February, 2006 |
i had host my 4 domains to Micfo.com for 1 year plus, the server feature was BEST and they update the Softeware version often.
If you are looking for stable server for BIG no of user, please select other, the server was slow, no as fast as the main server which use for their own use, as before they will tell u, the server was using INTEL XEON CUP, but after i check it was a AMD CUP, down time aften ! average uptime is 98.9% and not what they promise 99.99%. |
