Is vodahost reliable?

Do you ppl think vodahost.com is a reliable hosting service? Wanted your opinions before trying them . You may suggest any other hosting services too.

 

There are many, many, many threads about this, so searching for it would be a good choice.

Hostgator is good I've heard. A lot of memebers here like A Small Orange.

I don't know anything about the company you asked about. I again suggest you search for "hosting," "best host," etc. That would help you a lot.

 

I have been using them for about 4 months, they are very good, great support team and forum. The only complaint I have is that they charged $8.14. to transfer my domain, three days after I transefered that announced that all transfers are now free. I felt a bit silly. Apart from they have been perfect.

 

I found the sales speel did not match reality - "easy to use" and "no programming knowledge needed" - not true. When I pointed this out to them, they pointed out their Terms of Service which stated that such knowledge WAS needed. This was the fastest reply I'd had from Vodahost 'support', by the way.

The support documentation is contradictory and ambiguous. One can only try the software once signed up - which is when one finds the flaws. Many support docs are incorrect, and I spent days trying to configure the basics. I did not find it easy to use at all. Frustrating, was my experience. Customer support was slow. You only find this out once you've paid.

I've found the tutorials to be all over the place, largely inaccurate, out of date and misleading. How the various 'easy to use' tools are supposed to interact, is a mystery to me. The inability to modify forms in Form Maker Pro is a design nightmare. Form Maker Pro was one of the 'products' that sold me on this hosting system, but which I could only test after forking out the fees.

All of the above has led to days of hair-tearing frustration. How Vodahost can claim that one can have a web site up and running without any prior experience is beyond me.

I tried to contact Vodahost's UK contacts to ask for a refund their contact details given as:

In the U.K.
VodaHost Ltd.
7 Petworth Road
Haslemere, Surrey
GU27 2JB
Tel: 020 8816 8319 / United Kingdom

However, the above UK telephone number belonged to someone who knew nothing about Vodahost, and who was answering the call from Hong Kong, via Skype!

In my opinion, avoid, or if you have been unfortunate enough to sign up with them, report them to the

UK Office of Fair Trading: http://www.direct.gov.uk/ExternalLink?EXTERNAL_LINK=http%3A//www.ripofftipoff.net/+

or the

US Office of Fair Trading: https://www.econsumer.gov/pls/econsumer/wimsnery2$com.main?p_lang_seq=1

 

My friend tried it .. and he was satisfied with their services.

 

I had them for a very limited time and had no troubles, but I decided to move over to hostgator (and now dedicated servers) after I had heard a lot of bad things about them. I didnt want to chance it.

 

I looked long and hard to a fined a hosting company that I can trust with my forum. my previous host shut down my account because of high usage or something. I came to Voda and have not looked back. They are an excellent company with top notch support, last week I had a small PHP issue and there support department sorted it out for me in under 15 minutes, I can not praise them high enough. If your looking for hosting this company is definitely worth a look.
