I had to apologize to my readers for getting hooked into this horrible trap. Now I got almost a year to expire but I run for my life, loosing the balance because of their no refund policy. Any way, I lost 10 times more for my time and heart pain hurts me more than that.

They are not quite perfect with some slow while accessing control panel and FTP, some downtime. However, they are much more reliable compared to other host such as 1&1. Their customer service is horrible than I ever encounter with. I never use webhostingbuzz but for $3 monthly is too much cheap. You have got for what you paid. I think the average quality hosting should not less than $10 monthly or more and should not look for any cheaper. I’m currently using Dreamhost.

I certainly feel your pain. Dreamhost is better, but it is still not the perfect host due to downtime. I am on Dreamhost now and considering switching. Let me know if you come across a better host.

It says 5 free domains so I thought wow awesome. Thats when I found out that you had to upgrade to the one year plan for $110 more and then you get the extra year free. So whatever on 08-20-07 I upgraded and paid the extra $110 and now I have registered a couple of domains. It is now 09-09-07 and yesterday I asked for a refund. Right out they said no because it has been over the 30 day money back guarantee. Which it hasn't seeing as how I paid the $110 on the 20th. It has only been about 18 or 19 days. And even if they did count it from the 5th that is a month and 3 days... Their support is horrible and email and cpanel are extremely slow. I am very angry at them and I regret ever opening an account with them and referring them to a few of my friends. They draw you in with tricky business tactics then "play nice" the first couple of weeks, but it all goes downhill.

I am having same issues as Andrew but with ipowerweb. It must be some of their scripts that they are running ( the software on both companies could be purchased from same company). Anyway, my site has been down some many times, it is not even funny. I was just about to switch to Webhostingbuzz...but I guess I will look some more. Do not even think to switch to ipowerweb!

Visit slickdeals.net, retailmenot.com or search Google to find a coupon code for their hosting services. My Dreamhost account name is "andwir" if you can enter in a referral ID. Dreamhost isn't perfect, but they are the best I have found. I certainly have a lot less downtime than I did on WebHostingBuzz. Some people also like iPowerWeb. I am using Dreamhost.com right now.

Over 7-10 of our websites have been down for over 16 hours. We don't even know what is going on even after visiting whbstatus.com I would switch to a different company for sure. Webhostingbuzz sucks.
