CI Host DOWN the drain!
First of all,
Around 9:30pm, my website www.sarasotaweb.net has been disabled or deleted off from the
server with NO ?&)(?$**ing warning or reminder at all the way when I joined.
Let me tell you the truth, I am getting so tired of this company already and giving me
headaches. I have pretty much of my customers, now I have to bitch up myself and looking for
an host. There is no such a good host that would do a serious business unless screwing me
around. Now I am loosing money here...
Am I speaking an lawsuit could be filed for no reminder letting me know it will be disabled so I
can be better service to make payments to keep the account outstanding but guess CI Host
doesn't. Oh yeah, thier website that says best, top rated host with best customer service etc
etc, you name it but guess what? They are so awful right now not like in the past and I start
realizing that now...
For future host searchers, if you want to signup with a company for either web hosting,
dedicated servers, anything you need. DO NOT EVER signup with CI Host at all. They are awful
and they have too many loopholes in thier server and can be easy be hacked and I feel sorry for
them and they spend too much ****load of waste money putting all of thier top rates on all host
search sites and found them annyoing and make customers thinks they are the best but they
are NOT! Do you heard me, I say NO!
I am getting bitchy right now, I think I better move my ass and find a new host and move all my
customers with me so keep my company good and stable otherwise I am screwed big time ...
THANK GOD my whois information is listed at other domain name so it wont affected, I was
smart. I am gonna find a host and see what I need. Maybe you can help me but remember I just
spend $4,600 on new baby stuff for my new baby boy so I am flat broke. Maybe you can be
hontest and help me out to get started all over again.
If nothing happens so far throught the weekend, I might move to Alabazna, heard they are the
best and stable... I know they are limited but the stuff they offer does rocks.... I will think
about it... Anyone who wanna be parnter with me, you are welcome to email me at
[email protected] and we can discuss how to do, etc. I have a guy who wants to do this
but needs more parnters.. So contact me for further details.
Sorry if I bring this you sad news but I want to share with you, CI Host is an awful, suck,
terrible, slowness, hackness, uncooperation, lyings, and much more. You name it. You already
know, alright?
REPEAT: DONT EVER BOTHER CI HOST!
Thank you and have a nice evening!
Joseph

This does not surprise me...I've heard TERRIBLE things about CI Host in the past...my impression is that they pamper the large sites and dump the lower ones whenever they feel like it. Rumor has it someone who works in the company (the VP's wife, or something like that) is a high-profile lawyer...so they win a lot of fully legitimate lawsuits.
I can't speak for them, but I think SitePoint had problems with CI Host way back when they were known as Webmaster-Resources.com...not sure, but I've only heard anything good about them in once place: from them.

TWTCommish,
Yes, that was CEO's wife and in fact I remembered I saw her lawyer's website, I mean her own but it points to cihost.com and sounds weird.
Plus they are already in deep trouble becuase of so many problems since Y2K. Believe it or not, they are having a lawsuit in August for a court date which I heard about.
Other than that, CI Host still having problems!

Ci host oversells its webspace. They are merely renting servers from OLM.net(I think I read that). If not OLM they rent from someone else. I would go with OLM before them. In every newsgroup I read they are saying it stinks lately. They put most of their money in advertising not server upgrades.

bwilmot,
Yes, they *USED* to be a reseller or having a dedicated server with CI Host then they got in big crash during Y2K around Dec 28th then was down for 6 days then moved to thier own NOC which is $2 Million which I don't believe them.
Yes, they spend too much adversiting rather than new services. Very sad of them, in fact I know the CEO of the company threated to many people in email which is unpolite about it too...
I wouldn't do business with CI Host again, ever. I am happy at my new server... Thank god i found a good host!
Don't ever bother CI Host, ever! EVER!! If you get a email from CI Host threating you, send that to BBB!!
Have a nice week!
Joseph

Things must have changed recently. Can't keep up with all the new developments. Oh well sorry to hear about your bad experience.
