My needs are simple. I am a film composer that needs to send files back and forth with my clients. I've run into so many issues with downloading files via FTP. I can't download larger files, it times out. I called, the tech in some who knows what country, knew nothing of how to resolve this problem, I asked to speak with a manager and the support guy rambles on and refuses to let me speak and hangs up. Double negatives here..have a problem that shouldn't be an issue and then horrible support. I will be working on changing hosts and am anxious to spread the word on how horrible Globat is. DO NOT use this host. In fact, you will be given "offers" to upgrade and if you don't reply to decline the "offer" your service will be upgraded automatically and you will be charged for it! INSANE! I had to spend hours battling over two years of upgrades that yielded of hundreds of dollars that I didn't agree to and have it pulled directly out of my account. DO NOT USE THIS HOST, You will regr

I've been using Globat to buy domains for a while now (domainsarefree.com) because they only charge $3.99. I've had enough trouble with their tech support just from registering my domains with them let alone hosting them. I use Globat to buy my domains because of the price and host them with Godaddy. Anyway, I find their backend to be hard to navigate and not user friendly at all. When I have a problem tech support is able to give me a solid answer maybe 10% of the time. Last time I called Globat's website went down and the tech person said I'd have to call back when it was working again! I am very disappointed with this company and plan on moving my domains elsewhere soon. Do not do business with Globat!

I signed up with these folks because they seemed to offer a good set of features for a good price, but quickly regretted the decision when they started sending me emails at fairly regular intervals telling me they'd give me an upgrade I did not want for money I didn't want to pay, and I had to opt out within a certain timeframe (not very long. either). Not a good look if you're away from the net for any length of time! - I cancelled my hosting contract once my paid-for year was up, they bungled my domain transfer so I lost the domain, and charged me some money to my credit card for a domain name renewal which I had never opted for, but apparently would have had to opt out of separately, even though I had already gone through the whole process of cancelling my domain and contract. CONCLUSION: business practises not in accordance with any Fair Trading acts I know of, money eater for the unwary. Three thumbs down.

When I started with Globat it was a reasonable host and my needs were simple. Not long after I had been with them, they started to pressure me on a regular basis for upgrades at about $50 a pop with a deadline that demanded immediate response. They made it appear as though my site would suffer if I did not upgrade, and being inexperienced, I fell for their ruse. I had a domain that needed to serve a particular country, and it turned out that no one in that country could see my domain. All that Globat did was claim that it could not be so...despite the fac that more than one hundred contacts could not see the domain.

They have hosted my business site fine for 4 years. The issue is their "renewals" and "upgrades" They try to advise you that your site will go down if you dont pay, etc. This is deceptive, it's for upgrades, my hosting is payed. You understand the gimmicks, deception. I'd not do it again with them.
