000webhost Review…

This host rocks!! The CPanel is no longer included, but it is awesome! It works great for the burning thunder pup website!!
000webhost is a great free hosting service that offers many great features for free, with a massive 100GB bandwidth a month!
It is one of the best free services out there, highly recommended!
Was quite good when it ran smoothly. But don’t dare query their level of customer service, even if it’s with the intention of upgrading to paid hosting. Accounts cancelled without warning or reason. Extensive server downtime lately without reasonable explanation and disgraceful customer service. As they say, you get what you pay for. Avoid.
Do not even consider using their service. For starters, they do not pay their affiliates. They are building their company on stolen traffic. Secondly, they will delete your website with no advance notice, and there is nothing that you can do about it. Also, they do not respond to support requests.
If you think you’re going to make money with their affiliate program, boy are you in for a surprise! As soon as it’s time for you to be paid, you get a note saying that they have increased the “wait time” to 60 days instead of 30 days. When you complain, they simply delete your affiliate account. Not one single person has EVER received even a single penny from their affiliate program. I repeat not one single person has EVER received even a single penny from their affiliate program! Absolute TOTAL scam!
It is a total scam.
First. Many people have complained about their affiliate program.
Second. They apparently lie about the versions of the software they use.
Third. They give so much web space and stuff out, but when you start using a decent amount of their resources, say goodbye to your account. They even say they can delete your account for no reason and with no warning in their TOS.
I think this site should be shut down so much I hate them for every thing mentioned above. Plus…
Downtime is frequent and unexplained. When I contacted customer support they replied that the sites they host are never down! I mean come on…My son, my mother, my neighbor, me and visitors from all over the world say my site is not accessible. Customer support say to call my ISP pecause everything is fine! As if my ISP has anything to do with this…I checked and it doesn’t so what does that tell you about these wellfaire il-trainned customer support!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst host EVER! Said they were reviewing my site for malicious or phishing content and that it would take 2-4 hours to complete. Sent a scathing email after 5 hours asking the status, never heard anything, created a ticket, never heard anything, tried to log on the next day and my site (all my work) was gone, couldn’t log in, deleted my whole account. Had to send a comment to them with a different email because it stated I needed to log in with my account with them…Kinda’ hard to do when they’ve deleted my account. Still have had NONE of my requests for information replied to. Site just disappeared overnight after I complained, fantastico never worked. horrible, horrible, horrible! RUN THE OPPOSITE OF WHEREVER 000WEBHOST IS, don’t even get their free site if you’re going to put ANY work into it, it’ll be deleted! Moved to hostgator.com and have been happy ever since.
BEWARE of 000webhost - they will steal and destroy your data
So, the features they advertise do look pretty good, but for your own sakes DO NOT FALL FOR IT. This “service” is a DISASTER from beginning to end, it is simply unbelievable that a “service” of this quality and this much contempt and disrespect to the customers is still around.
First of all, you’ll be lucky if your uptime is 60%. Yes, half of the time you or your users try to access the site, it is down. Disks fail, servers shut down … and on, and on and on … The other half of the time, it is up, but you have to be REALLY patient to get the page loaded, it is so slow, I sometimes think they are just typing the content in by hand as it is loading. I was running a standard BB engine there, nothing fancy.
You think this is all? Oh, no, just wait, this is only the beginning. So, if you get some kind of traffic coming in (and I mean just SOME traffic - maybe, 100 hits per DAY, nowhere near real traffic), their puny servers start to collapse, and come down to a CRAWL. And then (get this!), they blame YOU for your db queries being “slow”! My 12 year old PC runs these same queries in milliseconds (not tens of milliseconds, single digits).
So, they let you run this parody on a website for a while, and accumulate enough users, and user-contributed data, they just … shut it down! Yes, without any kind of a warning or anything, in the middle of the day, the site just disappears, and all your users start getting redirected to some stupid and irrelevant upsell page for the webhosting, instead of the site they were looking for, without explanation or any message whatsoever. And they won’t tell you about it. You’ll have to wait til one of the users thinks about notifying you to find out your site is gone.
Naturally, when this happens, you login to your account to see what is going on … and that’s when you find out that your “slow queries” violated their TOS. Needles to say, there is nothing in TOS about “slowness” of your “queries”, I mean, one would have to be a complete idiot to put something like that in their TOS (”our servers are way too weak to sustain anything remotely resembling a database, you are better off hosting it on your damn laptop”).
Anyway, so, what do you do now? I suppose, write them a polite letter where you apologize sincerely for inadvertedly straining their “servers” with your “slow queries”, promise, that it will never happen again, and humby point out, that there is actually nothing in the TOS speaking to the effect of the speed of the db queries, and thus technically you are not even in violation.
At this point, you are, probably, not even interested in reinstating your account anymore. I for one, had enough of this “service” by now. It’s nothing but trouble, problems all around. NOTHING works as advertised … So, I don’t even ask them to reactivate the account, just give me my data back, simple enough, isn’t it? Let me download the content of the database, and I’ll be out of your hair. Simple enough, isn’t it?
Well … that’s where the most interesting part begins! The response I got from their “support” person, states that:
accounts that they THINK are in violation of something, are cancelled immediately
Once the account is cancelled, all data pertaining to it is DESTROYED, not just on the server disks, but even in the backups, and there is absolutely no way to recover it.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I found this “policy” absolutely EYE POPPING. Not only, they shut you down whenever they fell like it, but they will allso INTENTIONALLY and WILLFULLY DESTROY ALL OF THE CUSTOMER’S DATA. Not because of some catastrophic failure or an act of sabotage, but AS A MATTER OF POLICY.
“Hosting service”, destroying their customer’s data on purpose? That’s a new one …
I just could not believe my eyes when I read their reply. I figured, there must be something I am missing, misunderstood, it just cannot be true. So, I write back, and ask for a clarification. Here is the exact reply I got back from their “suport”:
— QUOTE
Hello,
Your account is gone. Nothing can be recovered. All backups are removed. Any or all data is gone. I don’t see why you are nit picking at everything.
Regards,

Now THIS left me speechless. Just WOW.
Perhaps you are thinking something along the lines of “well, this will never happen to me, because I always make backups”. Think again! If you have more then 10M of data, the db backups won’t work with this hoster either. They crash in the middle of the download. I tried many times and not once was able to download successfully. And when I asked “support” about it, I got a reply to the effect that “yeah, we know, it does not work”.
Well, enough said. I hope, I was clear enough to persuade you to stay as far away from this “service” or from any other “service” ran by these fraudsters (notably, hosting24.com is their creature too - I urge you to stay even father away from it!) for your own sake.
There are plenty of hosting choices around the net, and this one is BY FAR THE WORST ONE!
Worst hosting ever!They closed my domain for:Terms of service violation: Phishing, scam, warez, hacking,and it didn’t even have any of those in it!I sent a ticket saying there is no Phising,no scam,no warez or hacking,and what they do?They close the ticket and cancel my account.Don’t buy or get any domain from them!They co-operate with hosting24,which is pretty bad too!
