Agreed. I have had many sites with Readyhosting as a reseller, and am in the process of transferring them all away. I’ve found GoDaddy to be reasonable in terms of ease to work with, price, and plans/services (they are not great, mind you, but who still standing IS????)

Today is October 13th. Readyhosting is DOWN DOWN DOWN - no phone, no web site - nothing. Either they’ve had a power failure, or they’ve fired EVERYBODY.

But yes, their up-time has diminished for my web site and their e-mail web interface (Horde) is wildly inconsistent.

Today is the 3rd time this month my site has gone down. For the past 4 years i never had any issues and was able to talk to someone if i did have an issue. In the past 10-12 months, my site has gone down at least 8 times upwards of 4 days with no answers to my inquiries. I have found that my site is over in capacity and then the next I am barely over 20% of disk space.

The funny thing is that today, the readyhosting website is not available for me to get a phone number and complain that my site is down again.

What a shithole company that used to be great and I directed alot of clients to sign up with them.

Feeling rather foolish today

I just got off of the phone with Readyhosting Support, regarding a site that is not a secure site, but a secure login keeps popping up for users requiring an ID and Password. It’s been going on intermittently for 2 weeks not. If it’s not happening at the exact moment I call, they tell me there are no issues and the site is fine, and they close the ticket. I spent last week trying to expain to the Tech what Domain Guard is and that I am not supposed to be charged for domain names that have it. She told me I was wrong. I insisted I speak with her manager. I finally got so mad I hung up before I blew a gasket. I called back the next day and actually got someone who knew what it was and they credited my account. I am looking for a new hosting service for my 12 reseller customers. This is it. Were did you move your sites? Thank you : )

I agree with all of you. READYHOSTING SUCKS, SUCKS, AND SUCKS. I’m in the process of transferring all of my client’s domains from my reseller account and can not wait until I’m completely removed from their system. I have spent days on online chats and phone calls in the past year trying to resolve numerous issues with them ranging from technical to billing. If you are thinking of opening a hosting account with ReadyHosting, do yourself a favor and just shoot yourself in the head! I think it would be a lot less painful. Okay I feel a little better now, at least until I start a new chat session in a few minutes with an overseas ReadyHosting unqualified representative.

I have been using Readyhosting for over 5 yrs, i recently cancelled one of the accounts yet they still billed by cc for almost $400, after 20 days they still do not seem capable of getting that charge refunded to my acct. I keep getting the same bs run around everytime, “Our Senior billing specialist is working on it”. This is a charge that should have never been processed in the first place. In addition to their grappy server, customer service reps that can’t even speak flippin english, they are now just down right ripping people off! If your looking for a hosting company, avoid this one by all means!!!!

This company flat out sucks! 5th graders can do a better job at support. Ryan is the manager at the highest level and he can’t give out his last name. Why? Becasue they know he will be harrased on how bad their service is. A one minute fix can take up to 24/48 hrs. Joke! We have 2 clients stuck with this platform because cart32 was the choice back in the days. We left this company 5 years ago and moved to maximumasp. They are the best company we have ever dealt with to this day. Thye overload the servers with as many people as they can and concetions seem to go down all of the time. Readyhosting is the worst company I have ever dealt with.

This company sux in so many ways it’s pitiful. I haven’t hosted there in two years, yet they keep trying to charge me for hosting.
Their “Windows” hosting is cacabooty, pure crap invented on the fly hosting. No access to the database, so if you develop offline, you’ll never get your data up to the server.
I remember one of the problems I had with there “technical” support. Since I had an asp.net app, I needed to make the images directory available to asp.net and network service so that I could upload images. Classic tech request, just grant the asp.net account and the network services account “modify” permissions.
Tech support asked me, MY HAND ON MY HEART I SWEAR TO GOD, who are these accounts? How will they be logging in?

This has to be the worst hosting company I’ve ever seen! As soon as I open a support ticket, they immediately close it with some BS excuse saying that the problem is with my app! And you never know what parts of the control panel will work on any given day.

I was glad to see I’m not the only one pulling my hair out over having to deal with these guys.

Well I am on here looking because I am trying to find out who owns Ready Hosting. They have caused me to loose my web site that needed to have the domain trasfered. I have been working with them since NOV. 07 and finally as of this week the man looked my domain and I can not get to it since they did not transfer it. I bet we used 30 emails and 20 chats and like someone above said no one answers the phone and if they do it still does not get handled so do not think becasue you speak with someone it will. It is best to take every thing you have and go somewhere else. I also have had ready hosting on the main web site for over 4 years. The one they just lost about 3 1/2 so as all know when you pay a web designer for that for all those years you get thousands of dollars raped up in it. Now in a matter of a few weeks GONE. Some one in their company should be accountable. Also they had the nerve to bill me for the domain (That they did not get transfered). Thank GOD that I already moved the largest corporation web site 2 months ago. Problem is I am sure that they will bill my card for the Primary Plan and the Resellers Plan and there is nothing there. If anyone knows of a AMERCIAN Ownered and operated RELIABLE Company please feel free to let me know. I would be grateful.

Peace
