Dear friend what I think is they should change their URL to something else. I dont know whether they have reserched well before deciding for that name.

The So Called "bestwebhost.com" - A hoax?

KuBi
Well first I'd like so say that I've never used this host, and never will;
http://bestwebhost.com/

here's the story;
I was driving down the road, west side of town(the slums), and noticed a building, it was called BestWebHost.Com. My first impression was, "Ya, right". So once I got home I checked it out. Got to there website and it was horrible on the eyes. It was obviously hardcoded, and hardcoded very BADLY. Not profesional at all. I noticed they charged 10 dollars a MONTH for hosting, so I'm thinking to myself "Wow, it better be good". After a few minutes of clicking the hosting package button, then realizing the page just changes at the bottom, not the top, wow, never noticed that. YOU ONLY GET 12MB OF DISK SPACE! Ya, that's right, 12mb's of disk space and 25 email accounts, for 10 bucks a month. Isn't that ridiculous? After further inspection and scrolling down the page, I noticed a 200mb package, about the equivilent of Trap17, but with more email accounts, and well...more everything. 30 Dollars. Ya, that's right, you're getting free here, what you could be paying 30 dollars for somewhere else.

Now, I don't know much about the specs of a webserver, or what they should consist of to be considered "Good", but here's theres;

All I can really say is, never use this host. It seems so horrible! You can get 10x more disk space FOR FREE here, or you can pay 10dollars a month, your choice. I know I'll never get hosted by these guys.

If you have been hosted by them before, share your experience please!

Their server stats aren't that bad, mid-range for a web server.

$10 bucks though for something that I could get for free?

Haha... it now says $9.99 a month... I can see how... uhh, unprofessional the site looks. The specs aren't too great. 10 bucks for something like that? No way... I would rather spend my 10 bucks a year for a lot of domain names than pay it monthly for such hosting. :/

That site has bad layout, bad graphics and bad products.
I mean at Trap17, I can get those for free, as long as I post in the forum. Why pay ##.## dollars?

Thier servers are not powerful either. And I sure doubt 99.9% Uptime.

Site/product/service: NOT RECOMMENDED!

haha, it seems to me that they designed the site in Microsoft Frontpage tongue.gif

anyway, as far as design is concerned, it is always important to have a good design because it will never give a good impression to the visitor and same is the case over here...most of us are unsatisfied because we didnt like the design.

Next, important thing is the plan - their plans are so horrible that even the most dumb person on the internet will not go for those plans. They are charging so much! I think someone will need to suggest them a better RE-SELLER biggrin.gif

The only thing which is in their favour is their domain name - you simply dont get those kind of domain names on the internet. I mean, that is the only thing which I liked about this site tongue.gif

The scary thing is they seem to have been in business for quite a while. Assuming this is true of course.

1. I find it easier/faster/SAFER to buy my domains from 1and1, and I believe they offer the same thing for 6.99 a month.

2. Couldn't they just say 1998-2005 Copyright ect ect ect.? I mean, we know which years come between 1998 and 2005, we don't need them helping us through that, do we?

I think that this webhost is either very old and has not recently been updated or it is ran by someone who is trying a get rich quick idea without wanting to put forth any time or effort. I saw the site and it is very awful. I bet it hasn't been updated in years and its just some guy running a webhosting service using the DSL line in his apartment.

Lol it does look badly coded. The colors and all don't even match: red, blue, biege, pink? If youre going to use those colors why not just use them unwanted colors like yellow, green, teal and other neon colors? Atleast they're pretty. Their site is soo unattrative looking by the first glance I thought the site was full of advertisements. There are some big fonts and some little... talk about unorganized... dry.gif

Wow. Horrible layout for the website, I agree. Not to mention those prices are rediculous... you can get 2Gigs of webspace for that much some places.

But their server is decent.

But their server, according to the stats you quoted, has 2 processors which makes it about 5GHz in total, and 2 virtual processors but I'm not sure how those work. It's probably less than 5GHz cuz they're working together, though.

It has been a while since this topic has first been posted but since then there site still looks like crap and they haven't changed a thing from what you guys said when this thread was new. Oh wait no they updated the copywrite so now it lists out every year from 1998 to 2008 instead of just saying 1998-2008. Would anyone really buy hosting from a site that looks that bad? It looks like a three year old coded it. Plus we can get all that stuff but better here for free. I feel sorry for the people still searching for the perfect webhost because they have to look through crappy site after crappy site like bestwebhost.com

I was actually dumb enough to use bestwebhost.com because they were recommended to me by my sister. (Thanks, sis!) In a nut shell, here is a series of emails that resulted in my discontinued service...

QUOTE

Hey Lauren,

As it turns out, I haven't used the hosting for xxxxxxxx.com as of yet. Would you mind discontinuing the service for it until a later date. I've got caught up in other things right now and I'm not sure when I'm going to get back around to it... maybe in a month or so. Thanks a bunch! =)

Hope you had a wonderful holiday! Happy New Year, too!
CODE
Hi XXXXX

Happy New Year

We hope that you are doing well

Your web site is paid until February 5, 2007
so I will delete your web site February 6, 2007
you will not be billed again as of today

Have a great night

Thanks for your business.

Take care,
Lauren


QUOTE

Lauren,

When I started hosting, we spoke extensively on the phone about it and you said if I didn't end up needing it, I could get a refund for the month. Let me know what we can do about that.

Thanks,
XXXXX


CODE
Hi XXXXX

I did not say that
and I don't appreciate you canceling this a week after after this billed for
the second month
and expecting to get a refund

I have refunded your $9.99 payment for January and deleted your site
if you need any more free advice or free hosting please ask someone else

Take care
Lauren


QUOTE

Lauren,

Perhaps I misunderstood... my apologies. I forgot about the hosting for the site and would have cancelled the service earlier had I remembered, but with the holidays and all, I just forgot. I'm sorry. Please feel free to charge me again for the month of January.
CODE
Hi XXXXX

Sounds great

I will bill you $9.99 today and I will not bill you again for this site

have a great weekend
Thanks for your business.
Take care,
Lauren


QUOTE

Lauren,

Thanks for dealing with this situation so graciously. Your level of communication, patience and understanding with your customers is "top notch". For future domain name and hosting services, I will take your advice though and "ask someone else".

Have a great weekend as well,
XXXXX



:) <-[THAT was her response!!!! VERY professional!]

QUOTE
Lauren,

I may not have been "clear" in my last email: I will NOT be using your services in the future. You are in great need of customer service training.

You were condescending and impatient when talking to me about uploading my site a few months back, but I looked past that and gave you a second chance- per the request of my sister.

Now with this situation, you dismissed my business with your company without trying to work something out or explaining your side of the story to me. I was not demanding a refund, by any means. I thought that was the arrangement, but apparently I was mistaken. I want to be fair though, so you may have my $9.99 for the month of January, but that is the extent of the money or business you will be receiving from me.

Thank you for the free hosting a few months back. You didn't have to do that, but it did help you earn my future business. Unfortunately, you negated that action with poor customer service thereafter. I am happy my sister has enjoyed working with you over the years and I hope she continues to do so, but I have not had the same experience.

Sincerely,
XXXXX
CODE
Hi Juli
I fully understood your last email
and I am happy that you will go elsewhere

Lauren,

Do you treat all your customers with such disregard or is it just me?

END


It doesn't seem like anyone on here needs any convincing to NOT use bestwebhost.com, but just in case you are still in doubt, learn from my experience and take your business elsewhere!!!

their site is disgusting. everything is just there, nothing flows. it looks as if the person who made is just did it in like 10 mins, then hosted it. i think anyone here with knowledge of html could make a better site than that. and 12 mb of diskspace for 9.99 a month, i could get a domain and bettter hosting for cheaper than that. that is possibly the most misleading url in the world.
