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:

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.  Read the rest of this entry »

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. Read the rest of this entry »

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. Read the rest of this entry »

Heard about StartLogic problems on some reviews? Some say Start Logic Hosting scams or Startlogic sucks? Saw some StartLogic.com issues, StartLogic complaints and bad customer experiences? Can these negative reviews be trusted? Heard some StartLogic horror stories and their limitations? Let us be fair to Startlogic and do our own research.

If you are considering to get a hosting account from StartLogic (or any other hosts), you should do a search for the keywords “StartLogic Sucks” on Google. This may not be the best way to learn about the web host but knowing the possible problems with a web host can save you time and money in the future. To be fair to a webhost, you also need to look deeper than just the negative reviews, i.e you should also look at what the satisfied customers are saying and compare the percentage of satisfied vs disgruntled ones.

If you go through each of Googles result pages, it seems there are quite a few unsatisfied customers and clients who have been through some sticky situation with StartLogic. If you search for the keywords “StartLogic sucks”, you see that there are more than 30 results by Google. Is that a lot of bad things said about one hosting? Assuming all those result pages really talk about why this hosting provider sucked in some ways. There may be more result pages when you search for “StartLogic scam”, “StartLogic issues“, or ”StartLogic problems“. Should these hate or complaint sites such as startlogicsucks.com worry you after you have read so many positive reviews? Should hate pages make you change your mind? You should also consider people who think Starlogic rocks or search for “I love Startlogic” cases. Unfortunately, we cannot find many of those positive reviews thus we have to say we are not impressed with Startlogic’s reputation on the web so far.

StartLogic 510,000 478 0.001

Do not dismiss the fact that StartLogic is one of the popular web hosting companies in the market today. You have read the other StartLogic reviews elsewhere. StartLogic does what a hosting company should do. That is, StartLogic actually answers their phones, replies to their emails and many customers are in fact satisfied with their services. So among the hundred thousands of satisfied clients, surely they will be a few who disagree? Let us look at the numbers further.

How Good is StartLogic

An unbiased and independent web hosting comparison site gave Startlogic a score of only about 2 over 10. Alternatively, they compared Startlogic with Inmotion Hosting, another webhost with almost similar packages, prices, popularity and number of customers. You be the judge and take a look for yourself and decide.

We know, finding a good web hosting can be tiring and time consuming, when you should be building your blog or selling your product.

So our verdict: Hostingsthatsuck.com recommends InMotion hosting as an alternative if you want similar packages, cheap prices, and features but with better reliability and less known customer complaints.

You have seen the numbers. Numbers don’t lie. You should look no further.

Tips: Compare a few web hosting companies before you choose one web host for your website. Do not simply take the first one you found on the web or the company you saw on TV.
