Avoid at all Cost!
June 1, 2021

I started using their domain registration and hosting service from last year. They team is useless, mean and arrogant. They forgot to renew my domain despite making the annual payment on time. When I asked for compensation they arrogantly replied that its not refundable. Their money back guarantee is total fake.

Eventually I have to open a PAYPAL case to get my Money back. I lost my domain name for almost 3 months. Whoever is readying this review! Please dont use their services and avoid it at all costs.

Its very bad hosting
January 9, 2020

I was hoping there would be half a star to put it to this company that steals people's money. I bought a plan for three years and after a year passed the plan was transferred from unlimited to ten GB and when you write technical support me Donna Tell me if the plan is changed to ten GB and if you don't stop writing to us we will close your account with us
He closed the conversation with me and when my request for support is returned, he told me that I should contact technical support and he does not know that I am in contact with their technical support and he is the technical support manager who wants to steal our money and steal our sites that they have and the remaining time for me to host a year and eight months and he wants to close My thief account
Thank you, such sites allow us to write our opinion comfortably and frankly
Thinks Donna

The company had been good for several years, but in the last two they have tried to manipulate and bill inappropriately. THEY held one of my domains hostage for non-payment even after it was paid. The company has been taken over by some nefarious people. Stay away and choose a better and reputable company

Scammers
May 29, 2019

Terrible. Scammers! Last year I signed for their Bronze Plan. At that moment it was offering UNLIMITED space so I payed for 3 years in advance. Its been only 10 months and suddenly my hosting space is full! I asked what was happening and representative Stephanie simply told me that the plan has changed. No refund, no previous notice, no nothing and if I need more space I just have to pay for a higher plan. I Told her that it was unfair, they must uphold their initial offer. She just said sorry, just pay if you need more space. They simply disrespect customers. So beware that if you sign up for a plan they may be changing conditions whenever they like...

Money back guarantee is all fake
March 3, 2019

I have registered for Linux Reseller Account. Once you request for money back they don't response for any of your tickets. Their service level decrease from 5* to 0*. They delete your product and make you wait. At last you will fed up creating tickets and you will not get any money from them and they don't even re-activate your product. Its all gone :(

Service Quality and support
January 30, 2019

When I purchases the packages, in refund time they are very helpful and after that they shows the actual situation. Webhostingworld asks money for every support. They do not have any security expert. My site was down for more then 3 months. Hackers are attacking my customers sites. Sites are too much slow.
Never buy any service from Web Hosting world. Waste your money. My package was RESELLER SUPREME.

Happy with service very much
November 16, 2018

I am a happy client from last 2 years on shared server. With an impressive breadth of overall hosting services offered, webhostingworld.net is really doing great job. The service and support I got so far is just amazing. All my wishes to complete team of WHW.

Very terrible
October 20, 2018

All my MySQL users got deleted by this Web Hosting World, and they don't want to admit it. Asking me to restore from backup? If only they smart enough to review their full backup, the full backup does not include MySQL users, but only MySQL db. Terrible!

Great support!
August 18, 2018

So far, very impressive
We had a series of migration-related issues which took about a week to sort out. All in all, Webhostingworld.net tech support has been great, and this server is much faster than the reseller account I had with other host.

Huge fiasco!
September 8, 2017

Cheap is cheap!

I signed up with them less than a week ago. My long-standing, reputable, and functional website was transferred to these scammers for a short period of time. The website, emails, and everything else stopped working as soon as they were transferred to webhostingworld.

I pulled out my embarrassing mistake from their claws very quickly because: 1. The site never saw the world through their eyes! 2. The emails stopped working and I lost business that week. 3. Now I have to correspond with my clients to re-establish my reputation. And it's not easy to do. My clients trust me on the quality of my work and my product. My products, my service, the quality of my communication with the client, and everything else is a part of my business integrity. When I mistakenly signed up with webhostingworld, I temporarily compromised my integrity. 4. Their 30-day money back guarantee promise is a bogus. I submitted a ticket with them. It's like throwing a bottle with a message into the ocean with some communication effort. And it's like being on an island in the ocean screaming for help. Wilson! My ticket was never addressed. Does this ring the bell? 5. They make their money by advertising very cheap plans and charging thousands of people for a promise they don't deliver. When people realize that they paid for nothing, it's too late. The fee is small, so people stop fighting in their efforts to get their money back. As a result, you have lost a small amount of money, your time on the Internet, your reputation with some of your clients (who are inherently patient for the most part, thank Goodness!), and your sanity. And they have collected their undeserved profit while you are trying to get back on your feet.

My advise to you, don't make the same mistake I did. You get what you pay for. And, in this case, it ain't worth it. Never sign up with this company!

P.S. I did allow more than 48 hours for the site to propagate on their so called "server." And I was very patient with their excuses.

Worst hosting with least concern about client
May 11, 2017

Doesnt' get any worse than this. WebHostingWorld.net are not at all concerned if you site is down and you are losing business. They keep on changing servers and your site goes down, database gets disconnected, site goes down. They will disconnect service because you did not pay on due date even though due date not yet started. Very disgusting. Go find another host but never waste your time and money on WebHostingWorld.net.

Web Hosting World dot net Buyer beware
November 24, 2016

I subscribed to Web Hosting World dot net (my 1st 5 posts cant include links per Scam Rules), and the beginning was great. I had the functionality needed to run my 24 hour web store. However as my needs grew, the company stop doing or performing certain duties such as forwarding a copy of the transcript when chatting to my email account. Instead, they send their bias overview so I have to print screen to save a copy. Then the database STOPPED working, first I was told that we are updating your database then it would happen while I was working on the website. Then someone changed the name of my database from wbandt to bbandt? I have a screen shot of it also. Then they disabled my options to send emails and I got an error stating we do not authorize the use of this email account to send bulk mailbut I am a business?!?!? And businesses send bulk mail? Then the customer service agent called my mail SPAM? Wtf? But would only allow me to send mail from my cellular device or ipad.
Then I was not allowed in my cpanel, they would change password, and give me 3 minutes then log me out and I get a message saying you have exceeded the login time now they will not allow me to delete files. This is serious because the content of our files are private and sensitive. They disable the function to delete files from database in cpanel and access to certain script in cpanel. These issues are a security breach. When asked WHY my database and other issues were happening, I got NO answer but we will send a ticket to next levellike Comcast does (but that is another story). Since using their hosting company I have lost privilege to post ads on my site as the companies are saying I no longer have the traffic? But other analytics who point to my site says I get at least 90 clicks per daymy site has ZERO visitors according to Web Hosting World dot net. I am now waiting for them to allow access but just decided to delete the databases altogether. For some odd reason I believe they have files somewhere!?!? Its Thanksgiving Folks so I am gonna organize records for your deliberation. Simply put, this company is DEATH to businesses that rely on the website for branding. They are real cheap, but you will take a greater loss by using them.

Good service
February 5, 2016

For my WordPress hosted sites I have gone with Webhostingworld.net. I have used HostGator in the past but I find Webhostingworld.net provides the best packages for my needs.

They have the easy install of WordPress we expect from all hosting services but also a great uptime record and costumer support.

Avoid them
January 27, 2016

I had several accounts with them. The price was low and that was my mistake. They closed the access to the customer area and access to the control panel of several of my accounts without warning. I contacted support and repeatedly told me that they will enable the accounts but nothing has happened till today. Lost several customers because of them. Avoid them is loss of prestige and money

The Best Demon I Know
November 21, 2015

As the saying goes, "the demon you know is better than the angel...". I've had my ups and downs with Web Hosting World but I'm overall satisfied. Most problems are fixed via chat and if I'm honest, with them, you actually get more than what you pay for. I won't use it for top projects where reliability is key especially for zero-tolerance clients. I've however used it for projects that have gone ahead to shake the WWW including 247 Nigeria News Update which is recently migrated to blogger due to it's ******* daily hits
