PaidHosts.com Review

By Mohnish On August 12, 2008 Under Hosting, Scam

Not as “Promising” as they promised.
I had bought a PaidHosts plan on 4th July 2008, Got rid of it on 13th July!
Why? Tried it for a week, My site was down for 5-6 hours a DAY! They said they allowed Proxies and RapidLeech. I wasn’t hosting any of them. Just a simple “HTML” Script which dint require a SQL Database nor a Huge Server. Total Bandwidth used in these 9 days was 200 GB!+ How?! Well, I got really “pissed” with this hoster who promised me a 99% Uptime and 24×7 Support, He came online once a day for about 30 mins and I had to wait for him to reply my Ticket or PM(This really PISSED ME OFF!!) I was well with him for about 4 days, accepted all the non-sense he said about moving servers etc.. But what do I see on day 5? My A/c was “Hacked”. His Server is so damn UNSECURE that anyone could hack in.. I opened a ticket via his site and asked for a Cpanel password reset.. He began asking me stupid questions like – “Whats my IP?” Dammit he owns the site! Can’t he see it ?! – Day 6, I get my account’s password resetted(Really annoyed now). Guess what I did for the next 3 days.. Asked for a refund, and he told me that he wouldn’t refund my money – I was like WTF?! WHY?! I haven’t even used 5 mb of Bandwidth in 7 days. He said they offer a refund only within 7 days. I lost my head! Opened a Paypal dispute – Uploaded Rapidshare Premium Script with 3 RS accounts(They had almost 50 GB BW Each!) – Since everything was Unmetered and RapidLeech was allowed, I got my chance to make my money worth which was spent on this STUPID HOST! My Rapidshare Premium Site was up(Still down for almost 4-6 hrs/day) for almost 2-3 days..Made almost $35-$40 from the ads in 3 DAYS! :O I was like WTF?! OMG!? Never made that much in a week! haha! The Total Transfer in 3 days was almost 200 GB+(Leeching and giving the file to the user). Thats it, one of my worst experiences with web hosts 🙂
