For the guy asking about godaddy hosting, I advise no. They don’t have cpanel. Other companies I’ve used are Hostgator (good) Justhost (seem somewhat squirrley and forget support – it doesn’t exist) and HostingMatters which I think is the best. Readyhosting TOTALLY SUCKS.

I have spent hours and hours with tech support ever since one of their clueless tech guys tried to block a malicious IP and ended up blocking EVERY SINGLE IP IN THE WORLD from accessing my client’s website.

“It will be fixed in an hour” 4 times now.

Dude, it is NOT fixed.

I am astounded at the incompetence and lack of follow through

This isn’t about readyhosting.com, but it seems my current host is heading down the SAME path! Recently WebHost4Life has apparently *changed platforms* although it seems like they got bought out. Support sucks, and after 3 months, the can’t even figure out a problem I have, which worked quite well on their *old* platform.

I have my own VPS right now and it’s great, but I wish I had someone to share the costs.

I started with them 6 or seven years ago and toady I find out that they changed their policy of renewing your domain for free as long as your host with them. Consequently, I have now lost my daughters domain and they are telling me that ICANN is holding it hostage for $160. This is really ridiculous. It is like they don’t acknowledge that there are other options out there…..

I am done!

My experience of late with ReadyHosting has me ready to switch to another hosting company. They changed some parameters on the FTP site I use to update my website so now it is more secure but I can not log into it myself (even though their “control panel” verifies that my accounts are active and I have the correct password). Support has been a total waste of time and networking to someone who reportedly is the VP of Support and his promise of escaleting my issue to his Manager, has accomplished nothing in over one weeks time.

I was going to host with GoDaddy, how is the experience moving your site to this hoster? Anyone recommend another hosting company?

Extremely bad experience with ReadyHosting.com About 4 years ago they were great, but the last 2 years it became the worst nightmare for me and 24 clients of ours. Simple issues could not get resolved such as:

- Site Delux is always down and running mega slow

- Their phone lines are always busy and there is a busy tone. Phones do go thru. Our clients had concern about that, as many of them won’t Chat for support.

- Their Chat support staff for related Site Deluxe issues follow a system of responses for everyone. Basically 3 steps they use for all issues: 1. May I place you on hold, 2. We are experiencing issues with our system. 3. I have forwarded your issue to a tech support specialist. So basically they just create tons of Support Tickets which then post on your Account Support and you have to basically go screw yourself and wait days or weeks for those BIMBOOS to fix the never ending problem. They don’t really fix crap! Their system keeps getting worst every month as I still hear.

- I recently pulled out of their business 18 of my clients. In other words, they lost 18 clients in one week and they will continue to loose as many as other 11 I still have which are about to be moved to a more reliable and better supported company.

ReadyHosting has lots of slow issues and I will suggest anyone interested on wanting to register a web hosting account to consider NOT going with READYHOSTING.com The amount of money you pay for their crappy and unreliable support is not worth it.

Sincerely,

They lost all of my files a week ago, and I have spent over 6 hours with 2 different supervisors since then & nothing is resolved – if I can please find out who the CEO or President is & a phone number then I wil verbally rip his/her MOFO-ing GD head off.

I have hosted my domain at readyhosting for more than 5 years. In the beginning readyhosting had difficulties with even basic tasks like having a stable email infrastructure. Service had improved, but prices for web hosting has gone up, and I have decided to move on. I gave them plenty of notice and I did get a confirmation that my account would be closed and not renewed. But despite that confirmation, my credit card had been charged. Readyhosting did refund the amount, but I am out of pocket now for differences in exchange rates and foreign transaction fees. I would advise that you make sure that your credit card account

This is about the only company I know of that they seem to disconnect their Customer Support phones while sleeping or something. It seems impossible to get in contact with their Sales or Support phone lines, website is always down and we are not able to update any of our website contents. If anyone knows of a similar hosting company that offers the Site Deluxe besides Earthlink, please let me know. Im ready to move out about 20 of my clients out of this junk hosting company.
