WebHostingPad is NOT recommended!

WebHostingPad Receipt

As you might have known, this website is hosted on WebHostingPad since January 2009. They are really cheap and have strong features. Everything looks just fine on their feature page: cPanel, unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth and blah blah blah. Everything looks just too fine including that EXTREMELY LOW price!

You know what?! Hosting with WebHostingPad is definitely one of my BIGGEST mistakes in life!

WebHostingPad Sucks! What Actually Happened On Me?

At first the hosting works just normal. Their uptime is okay; database connection is working; support is doing their job and I was pleased.

But soon after 3 months, everything starts to change. If I were correct, that was the time where WebHostingPad lower down their monthly price even more – to $1.99/month! Oh man, they are way too desperate for sales!

Hosting uptime has become lousy! So I contacted customer support and as expected, they disappeared! Support was not there when I needed them! No, not only one time but many times! And their responses were real slow! It might take up to 3-4 days in order to get their email reply! WOW..what a 24×7 support!

It really pissed me off!

The Truth of WebHostingPad

The truth is WebHostingPad is too cheap!

$1.99/month for 3 years commitment and that translates into total $71.64 for the whole 3 years. They charge too low! I don’t think they can even maintain their basic operation with their pring. What is so much left for 24×7 support? Free domain? Unlimited storage?

This world is very fair; you want cheap pricing, you get cheap services. That was my mistake. You really should not repeat my step!

Conclusion: Is Web Hosting Pad Recommended?

My experience has said it all. No I DO NOT recommend WebHostingPad, not even for hobby/ leisure purpose! You should save your money and stay away from them. Look at other top hosting brands!
