PhilHosting, You Suck Vacuum Cleaners

I hate my hosting service. My dotcom is always down. They bill on time, at times even ahead of time BUT they provide the lousiest service this side of the planet. If I hadn’t used this hosting for all of the six websites I run, there’s no way they can pay me to use their hosting service even if they toss in movie cds for free monthly!

It’s terrible, I swear. For almost two weeks, my dotcom displayed error messages – and they were blind to emails. When it was time to fork over monthly dues, however, they promptly sent me billing. Worse, not only did they send me billing even though my dotcom hasn’t been working for some time, they actually sent me a late payment notice three times – three times, even though I’ve paid!

So, I’m gonna go take my business elsewhere. PhilHosting doesn’t need it – or at least seems not to until it’s billing time. This blog will be inactive for a while. I’ll go shop for a host that’s worth the money I pay for it. Oh, and in case you’re thinking of getting a dotcom, never host it with PhilHosting. Lousy service, lousy communication, lousy grammar – and I’ve told them so. You should know, too, before you host your blog with them.

  • Try HostGator. I would say they have the best customer service in the planet! But make sure you use my affiliate link! LOL. ;-)

  • hiya chin! I am so glad your blog is up and running again! I did email wett asking him about what happened when I saw him online on GTalk.. :)

    Oh, and if you are interested, i am selling webhosts. :D
    300 mb space @ Php. 600/year.

    just send me an email if you are interested. :D I do know about faulty webhosts.. soooooo difficult to find a good one these days.

  • Hi Iris and Lurchie. I checked HostGator and the cheapest package ($4.25) they offer can only host 1 domain. For multiple domains, you have to go for the $6.99/mo. Is this hosting package?

  • I’ve just moved to http://www.bluehost.com from Multiply. They’re not the cheapest, but absolutely reliable.
