As cheap as it's price.


Absolutely abysmal! They had what they called "known" FTP problems the day my web designer moved my site to them. Two days ago I found I could not access for content management. An hour later I received an email saying they had changed my password (!), but still no access is possible even with the new pass they provided. Of course their phone lines are busy today (probably every customer they have is trying to call). I'll be moving my site and demanding a refund. I paid what they asked. They failed to deliver what they promised.

Hostmonster - Bait and Switch -- Poor on Delivery.


When you contract with Hostmonster they say everything is pretty much unlimited BUT they harrass you and cut off your services unannounced when they get tight on resources. I have used them for years and today they reall ystick -- LET THE BUYER BEWARE! They will not notify of what the problem is and will not give you a copy of the contract that states the problem.

Hard to express how inept this company is!!!.


We don't even do any difficult stuff. Very simple website, mostly emails. I dare say that not a single week goes by without some problem requiring at least an hour of phone time with "tech" people who have no idea why our account has been changed to the parked domain, or why it somehow was parked on one of the partners personal accounts. Constantly changing security measures probably make it impossible to hack into our website, unfortunately it also makes it impossible for us to do any work. Which is why we have this stupid companies services. Pretty much all of our employees have reverted back to using their personal Gmail Accounts because Hostmonster cannot provide any sense of reliability. So in summary, I, who have little real knowledge of web servers etc. could probably run this company better.

Good only for small projects.


I am using hostmonter for 6 months. Everything was OK. Now I installed wiki and got cpu throttling 5-30 second per hour. As I was going to install forum in addition, I applied to hostmonster team. They proposed me high cpu server for $19. After moving I had cpu throttling 500-1500 second per hour. Even after removing wiki and DB I had cpu throttling 30 second per hour. I asked support for help, but nobody even tried to fix something. So $19 server is much more worse than $6 server. Resume: If your project is small, hostmonster is good for you. Otherwise, you should search something else. And advice, do not buy $19 server at hostmonster. It is cheating, move instead to dedicated server.

Dismal.


Three days after signing up, I still couldn't access my domain. Tech support was unhelpful and made a lot of excuses. When I asked how long I would have to wait, they said maybe a day, maybe a week. Unbelievable bad service.
