Worst Web Hosting Company Award Goes To...

Gosh, I forgot I had a Blogger.com blog that was without a post - orphaned from the get go huh? So sorry, sorry, truly sorry Mr. Blogger. Now, it's 2011 and I honor thou with a new post - an outburst of a rant - but nevertheless - an original - not spun - not rewritten - post.

It's all about... the WORST web hosting company in the world, BAR NONE!

MochaHost is the WORST web hosting company in the history of the world, bar none! They are totally clueless, rude and insensitive to their web hosting clients? Why am I crying out loud like this? Scenario:

I have a simple web hosting account with them, if I recall correctly I paid about $200 for a 3-year Linux shared hosting plan that was cheap and full featured with all the bells and whistles. yeah, so I was happy. I was shutting down a SINGLEHOP managed server coz that company started to become money-centered and money-focused since they started getting popular. Why, I had two servers with SINGLEHOP. But I digress.

So I successfully transferred and migrated web sites (4 of them, all database driven) from Singlehop to MochaHost. And I was happy... until...

One day I got an e-mail from MochaHost saying they have suspended my account coz one of my site's scripts is eating huge CPU. Without a warning they shut down my sites. I had to access to my files, I could not even backup, no FTP, no cPanel. Just like that. How rude and classless and totally insensitive huh? Oh yeah, they told me that I can upgrade to their VPS and there would be no CPU limits.

My worst nightmare - a newly migrated site has been suspended!

So I felt I was trapped, just to access my files again I need to upgrade. And so I did, ponied up even more money for a VPS Linux hosting account with MochaHost - and I thought my nightmare would be over quickly - that my websites will be transferred seamlessly as promised and that my websites will be back up in no time with me not having to do much.



I'd appreciate your comments, just no spam alright?
