  Good Until Became Nightmare  (Poor)
  - by Steve (hardbodytrainer.com) on 30 May 2013

        Was running a webinar service. Everything going good. Good support. Then I noticed website and email slowing waaaay down. Up to 30 seconds with frequent times out. Reported it May 6th. They kept telling me it was my access, then my browser cache needed to be clear, then there were "suspicious files", etc... This week, I went to log on and I receive a "Suspended Account". Apparently no one knew why. Then came a flurry of excuses. I looked at the logs. The problem was wi...  read more ...



  Horrible Hosting! Even Worse Customer Service!  (Poor)
  - by Andrew (bookclubambassador.com) on 6 March 2013

        Hosting is horrific... The slowest times I have ever seen. The websites keep timing out because of the slow response time. Here is my chat with them via their Online Chat Support: System 10:14:21 Am System is getting started. [Wednesday, March 06, 2013 10:14:21 Am] A representative will be connected, please be patient. Hostdeal Support enters the chatroom. Hostdeal Support 10:14:37 Am Hello Andrew, my name is Hostdeal Support, how may I help you? ...  read more ...



  Not sure what everyone is complaining about  (Excellent)
  - by Drew (androidcrater.com) on 19 January 2013

        I got a special deal on their Small Business package through Warrior Forums and so far it is been Phenomenal! Their support staff are very quick to respond and actually speak English! Performance seems to be just about on par with what one would come to expect from a shared host, no complaints to be had here! I would definitely recommend them to others in the future.  read more ...



  hostdeal.com  (Poor)
  - by Terry (alternative-energy-store.com) on 3 May 2012

        I got a special at hostdeal which supposedly had unlimited bandwidth and could handle 5 addon domains. I moved the domains and sites from JustHost and within three months hostdeal dropped all five sites saying one of them was using too much bandwidth. I put in support tickets and asked that they drop just the one site using too much...I couldn't see how as there were very little visitors to the site...and when I would put in a support ticket, they wouldn't respond to my question, they just sen...  read more ...



  Go To The Site Above - It's Down!!  (Poor)
  - by Esdee (emeraldgoals.info) on 6 April 2012

        Worst piece of junk on the web! I've had the hosting for 3 months, 2 months of which my site has been down. Support is atrocious. Every time I log in to my file manager, some files have been removed. Images have to be uploaded about six times before any result that isn't garbled - if there is, indeed, an image at all. Don't buy into it, no matter how 'good' the deal seems. They should be paying their customers for the nuisance.  read more ...



  Hostdeal.com Web Hosting sucks  (Poor)
  - by Rick (shenvalleydigital.com) on 26 March 2012

        In the last few months that I've been with Hostdeal have been a nightmare. Every time I've logged in I've had to go to what they call Chat Support,what a joke! The chat support has never fixed anything in real time. They're Ticket Support,what another joke. The only time you hear from them is "Ticket Closed" yes the ticket is closed,was the problem fixed? usually not. Load time is is the slowest in the Industry. I should have remembered the old saying "if it's to good to be true i...  read more ...



  Warning!!!  (Poor)
  - by Joey (forearmcrutches.net) on 17 March 2012

        Warning!!!Warning!!!Warning!!! Stay Away From Hostdeal.. They have the worst hosting service i have ever experience. When the site are up, they load so Slow, much slower than a snail. And if the site doesnt load, then expect to wait for several days or even weeks before it gets back. I have ordered a 2 year account but sad to say, it was the worst decision i have ever made. My site should have ranked already but because of their service, i have made nothing. So, Stay Away!!!  read more ...



  Don't host with this company.  (Poor)
  - by Patrick (gypsyfarm.com) on 23 February 2012

        Down time is bad, Support is bad. I will be moving my site unless something changes soon. Site down now for 2 days. In this case I submitted a ticket, got a message back that said it should be fixed and ask me to check. I did and responded that it was not up. I have now responded 4 more times over the last 36 hours and not answer back.   read more ...



  Absolutely no response to trouble tickets  (Poor)
  - by Billy (peoriapundit.com) on 3 February 2010

        They bought out my domain registrat (dotAmerica) and this week, I needed to point my domain to s new server. This company has failed to respond to Any of three support tickets I have entered. The first ticket I submitted 72 hours ago. I think that all the employees have quit and walked out, leaving the macines running on automatic. I'm going to have to find a way to switch to a new domain registrar.  read more ...



  Web hosting  (Poor)
  - by Eric (fairfaxstorage.com) on 29 January 2007

        We had a site on here with no hitches for a good deal of time. We needed to do some updating and found the website not working and phone also not operational. Our site still works but there is nobody home. We are forced to host elsewhere.  read more ...



  Poor Support  (Poor)

        Poor response to support tickets and help given non-existent -- seems they want to pass the buck back to the customer rather than actually solve a problem.  read more ...

Dont buy Hostdeal.com hosting

Dont buy Hostdeal.com hosting

Hostdeal.com is the worst hosting company in the world
They impose rules that are impossible
They keep suspending my sites because of high cpu usage
I am not an expert but i belive they limit the amout of CPU available just to keep suspending websites
During the one year i have been hosting with them my sites have lost out in Serp ranking mainly i believe beacuse the sites are never avalable
Anyway i found a better host
i have 3 years paid hosting with the crap hostdeal.com but they can keep the money

Famous Hostdeal.com Server 12

Famous Server presented by Hostdeal.com
My sites are back online today.
I am very happy but still shopping around for a good host.
Hopefully the Gator will have a 50% deal soon and i will just go for it.
Right now i cant really afford to pay for an expensive host.
ohh the famous server 12 is online but has an issue with SMTP (emails?)
see screenshot below
Is this a sign the server will go offline soon?
What i fail to understand is why Mr Richard wont to do anything about this server.
something is definitely wrong with server12.
1.Is it Hardware? How much would a new server really cost Vs return of investment plus very happy customers?
Servers are not soo expensive nowadays am sure for about £2000 you can spec up a fairly good server.

2.Sometimes i think that what hostdeal.com has done is lump all WF customers on this famous server12 so its just always running at max capacity.

3.What do the server Admins do? I used to work as a server Engineer and if this happened at my workplace on servers i looked after i would have been fired by now.

mmmm enough for today

Hostdeal.com hosting problems

Hostdeal.com hosting problems Early in January 2013 while browsing warriorforum i came across a hosting offer that i could not resist. I had been looking around for a new host and this deal looked so good.The sales page is good and the reviews seemed to be equally good. Once i signed up for the first year i was presented with another sweet deal to get 2 more years of hosting for the same price $19.95 i promptly took it. Everything was smooth until a few weeks later when i discovered my sites were down for a long period. The online chat support just gives you the normal script we are working on It bla bla bla. One curious thing is the problem only seems to affect the one server The fanous server 12.Host deal promises 99% uptime but its not been the case They provide a link to see which servers are online. Every i have looked at the page its always server12 that is down and thats where my sites live. It pains me as this is really making my site lose rankings and traffic. Here is a screenshot i toook today. I will try to post a screenshot every time my sites are offline.
I have been using other hosting companies and i have never experienced this type of problems
