Nowadays there are several hosting companies available from where you can host your website. Most of the companies do offer Shared Web Hosting, Reseller Web Hosting, VPS Hosting and Dedicated Web Hosting. Among all hosting options shared web hosting is very popular because it’s cheapest way to host your website.

But my friend wait a minute, big and small web hosting companies do something un-ethical practice and hide few things from you. And this is common even with most popular web hosting companies.

Below are few practice that hosting companies always hide or practice without letting you know:

1)      Block Search Engines though hidden Robots.txt file: Believe me or not but this is 110% hard truth. If you hosted several websites on one shared hosting account, getting good amount of traffic then most probably the hosting company will secretly will put hidden Robots.txt file on every websites. And amazing part is that you won’t find the Robots.txt file when you try to located  it on FTP (website). Read here how to use robots.txt.

Now if you try to contact to the web hosting support team then they will raise their hand and tell you to generate a ticket. This is not going to help you, they will take couple of days and secretly remove the hidden robots.txt file.   The best option would be to not to wait for their support, just upload fresh Robots.txt file and get it fixed in few minutes.

2)      Can send up to 150 email in an hour: During festive season like new year, Xmas we all send greetings mail to our friends, relatives and clients. And if you hosted several websites including your clients and if at any moment it cross beyond 150 mail per hour suddenly a situation will occur where you won’t be able to send any mail.

Now if you contact to customer support, they will give you a link of terms and conditions. If you argue with them then in couple of hours they will activate outgoing mail.

3)      Database Error: Nowadays CMS is getting popularity and we all prefer to host website in top notch CMS like wordpress. If you are a webmaster or seo expert spending good amount of time online only then you can notice that your wordpress site (or any other CMS using mysql database) goes down for 2-10 minutes every month. And as soon you start get worrying, create tickets you will get mail from customer support saying that there is no such issue found. Database is working perfectly.

Believe me or not big hosting and small hosting companies do this practice, read one of such hosting company review here, cpwebhosting.

I wake up at 6 Am in the morning, do usual stuff, play with my dogs, read news paper, had break fast and start checking mail. Started with Gmail and saw Fatcow email. Wow, they did it again, this time they sent an email along with offers where they will host the website for 1 year at just $1, no extra cost. This offer is only for old client of Fatcow who left them because of their poor hosting services.

Make sure to read why fatcow sucks. If you also get similar kind of offer from Fatcow then beware, you might be charged for several hidden charges.

Cpwebhosting.com was started in 2002. But even after 8 year into hosting business they not even learn how to treat their customer, run a hosting company and provide customer support.  Read true Cpwebhosting Reviews and horrible experience.

Initially it looks like their services (shared hosting) is very cheap, start with just $1.45 monthly but hey beware. You are actually compromising with your website.

Negative / Why Cpwebhosting Sucks

1. Very bad customer support: They took 4-5 days in order to reply a mail. No online support, most of the time no one will be available to support online. They not even mentioned their Phone no. or customer support no. on their Contact Us page. So you can assume how horrible kind of services they are offering:

2. Email not works: Many times their email address doesn’t work. Many clients said that email not work properly and sometimes it took an hour to receive mail.

3. Database Problem: If you have Ecommerce or CMS website like WordPress or Joomla then you will notice website down and server configuration issue.

4. Domain Pointing Issue: If your domain is registered somewhere else and hosting with CPWebhosting.com then it will take more than 10 days in order to point to their server.

5. No Online Support: There is live chat option available online but most of the time no one is available to support you.

6. Control Panel: If you are not so technically expert then you will have to struggle with Cpwehosting.com Control Panel.

What people have to say about Cpwebhosting services:

Chris Wright: “I ordered business hosting with a dedicated IP but was setup with a shared IP. I have been unable to contact anyone through any e-mail address I can find for 10 days now and have recieved no response from anyone. There is no way to send a support ticket as all sites instruct to send to a list of Dept. that are not there so there is no way to submit a ticket. I signed up for 1 month of hosting but the invoice shows a reoccuring monthly charge for a year of hosting This site advertises 24/7 support and a 30 day money back guarentee. I think 10 days is way too long for a support issue to be addressed. at this point I am not sure if they will contact me at all but I am sure they will try to hit my credit card next month. i put a note on my order tha I would test on the server fora month before deciding to purchase yearly hosting. I have a simple problem that could be corrected in a matter of minutes but I can not even get an answer to an e-mail about my problem. Still looking for a fair honest hosting company. Sincerely Chris Wright”

Sen: I used Cpwebhosting.com / .net services and most of the time my email was not working. Problem occurred with MySQL Database as well. Their customer services is terrible and they don’t even know technical terms. Be aware Cpwehosting, total lost of money.

Astral Walker: Two weeks ago I ordered web hosting at cpwebhosting.net. Until yesterday they could not provide me what they promised and yesterday I got an email that they will refund my money. Every single time I have wanted anything to happen its me who have contacted them, they never took the initiative. Sure, I had some special requirements, but I was promised from the first contact with them that they could deliver. And cpwebhosting.net was repeating that promise many times later until suddenly BANG “We cannot deliver”.

Now, let’s see how Good and Bad Services offered by Mochahost.

Read true review of Mochahost’s customer, seems like all of them are not happy with their services:

• I hate mochahost because they cheat and lie! They have the most ignorant technical support. They do not have a LIVE phone number, it is only an answering machine. My server has been down for 3 weeks without any attempt to fix it. They just repeat their replies (copy/past)! Do NOT chose mochahost!

• website down for no reason, it’s been 7 days !!!! customer support not responding banned my IP from accessing mochahost.com and mochasupport.com all my 75 domains have been locked out without any explanation.

More true reviews on Mochahost here:

• Bad support (bad language, they hang up if don’t know the answers to your questions)
• Blocked my ip from accessing mochasupport.com, their main support site
• Blocked my ip from accessing mochahost.com
• As a person, I warn the public from choosing Mochahost as their hosting platform. Slow in reply (if at all), incompetent in understanding and answering and worst of the worst … LIARS! They say 30 days moneyback guarantee? HAHA, they wouldn’t even bother. Maybe they bother to come to the court hearing later! … Read more reviews of Mochahost here

Share you experience here with Mochahost, since according to my understanding and experience Mochahost is really a bad hosting service provider. I hope this web hosting reviews was useful for you.
