Even The Best Hostings Suck Sometimes

Searching for Web Hosts that Suck the Least

Godaddy Scam

Friday
Nov 26,2010

What a big scam by Godaddy. Last week we paid more than $10 for a .COM domain. Today we found out that people are registering domain names for only $5.00 per .COM domain! Well, now when we looked at it from the bright side, we went and registered another .COM domain name. You should do the same too.

Gate.com Sucks

Monday
Oct 19,2009

Due to the more recent negative comments and feedbacks from users, we are now recommending an alternative hosting plan by MyHosting. See their website for custom-fit packages priced from only $4.84 monthly with unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, host unlimited domains and best of all, you get a free domain! You pay for what you need and all packages come with cPanel, eCommerce-ready, Fantastico, flash and macromedia shockwave support. Our myhosting review is as good, if not better than about Gate. If you are not sure about Gate.com, we suggest that you get myhosting instead.

Heard that Gate.com sucks? How about Gate.com hosting problems? Saw some Gate.com down times, Gate.com hosting complaints or bad customer experiences? Can these negative reviews be trusted? Heard some horror stories about Gate.com.com? Read this report first and judge for yourself!

If you are considering to get a hosting account from Gate.com, you may want to (or probably have tried to) search for the keywords “Gate.com Sucks” or “Gate.com bad” on Google. However, the result may confuse you. Perhaps you have read tons of good stuff and rave reviews about Gate.com.com thus far.

Did Gate.com experiences and stories like below or made you think twice to signup with Gate.com Hosting?

  • “…n terms of the PROMISED features, Gate.com was perfect, but just isn’t delivering. Fine, I don’t have much experience with IIS…”
  • “…hen I would alert them to the fact that my blog was down AGAIN I would basically get a shoulder shrug and a generic email that would say something like: sucks to be you a couple of days later.”
  • “Who are they? A cheapo web hosting solution, so I guess you get what you pay for…“

Still Hosted at EstDomains? If you have not heard, Estdomains.com is in big trouble. Their accreditation as registrar of domains is being terminated by ICANN. Your domain hosting is in jeopardy if you are still hosted there. You could be one of thousands of decent EstDomains customers who registered domains for legitimate use. No scams, spams or frauds. But the disaster will not show mercy to anybody.

Even if the manage to dodge this setback and keeps the accreditation, the damage has already been done and may not get any better soon. Read our previous prediction about EstDomain and our emotional ride recently when using their domain and DNS hosting services:
https://www.hostingsthatsuck.com/estdomains-problems/

Here is more of what we are talking about in great details:

What should you do you ask? Should you change registrar or wait and see what happens next? If you are still asking questions like “How good is Estdomains?”, we have the absolute answer here. We think this is the absolute best time to jump ship before thing gets more complicated. We are moving our domains to one of the best domain registration companies;Dotster and GoDaddy because of their nice deals, transfer promo and coupons we found. If you haven’t found your new domain hosting provider, try these transfer promotion and coupon codes. You will save a bundle.  (more…)

EstDomains don’t suck. Their prices are good. However, their servers, bandwidth, and DNS systems do suck. Whatever other things they do we don’t really care (up till now) as long as we get a good bargain on our domain nmaes. We have heard the bad reviews and bad publicity about them. We have read that ESTDomains servers being infested with spammers, or they themselves are spammers of some sort. But we have been with ESTDomains for many years because they are cheap, actually the cheapest around. We saved a few dollars per domain but we will not recommend this domain registrar today to anybody for several reasons. (more…)

Dotster Domain Registrar is a disaster. They are so disastrous because they have very few bad reviews about them when I searched for “dotster registrar sucks” on Google search… yeah disaster for their competitors is what I meant. I also tried “dot ster sucks”, “doster sucks”, “dotsster sucks”, “dotster sux” and other variation of misspells, just incase some smart ass cannot even spell the host name right or try to avoid being sued by Dotster. Sorry still too few.

If you are considering a domain registrar, you should do a search for keywords “X Registrar Sucks” on Google. Perhaps you have already read tons of good stuff and rave reviews about registar X but doing the “X sucks” search may reveal the true side of the domain provider. (more…)
