I had the very same problem with the only reason that is was my fault. Well i trasferred all the same files to a new host with no issues and the site is running great. They don’t want to admit they have problems they cant fix. I have since sent a ticket to cancel my account and wish to be prorated for the months of service and have that credit back. They say after 30 days there is no refund. Here is the kicker…..everything was fine for 30 days…..then they moved my account to provide better service and they were right…..it has been nothing but SERVICE !
“Let’s offer a 30 day refund and put them on the new server…..then we’ll move them…..who cares we got their money and their 30 days is up!”
If your looking for a web host…..move on!
Yes, the tech support (online helpdesk)could be beefed up but I haven’t had too many reasons to call tech support. I’d estimate a 10 minute or so outage every two months. They are NOT marketing savvy…in other words.. don’t expect a chatty exchange of ideas. They do make me very happy, I mean webhostingpad phone support, they simply are great bunch of guys. Whenever I call these guys they really make you feel good, they are very friendly and technically very knowledgable. I myself being a senior programmer sometimes find their technical skills awesome. I really recommend webhostingpad.
Pretty good all around - had a couple minutes hold time on their phone support one day but I called 3 other times for random things and they were fast. I give em 4!
