Hi Paul,

Thanks for taking the time to review. As we have communicated internally, and publicly, this is an old shared server of which you are paying way under common industry standards. Running a business on these plans has never been advised, you get what you pay for. We have been communicative about the issue whenever new information is available. While we 100%get the frustration and massive inconvenience this causes you, we would be remiss if we didn't mention that we have always been up front about what these plans are meant for.

No people there?

I am so frustrated. There is no phone number to call and evidently NO real people work at this company. For six months I've been unable to login to my account and update our credit card info with them. It is a constant back & forth of changing passwords then 2nd factor authentification, none of which work. I get, on the average, 7 notifications daily that our credit card payment failed. The robot and I have submitted multiple "tech tickets" to fix it and NO one reaches out to me. What is going on with Hostek!?

Hello,

We have a staff of 37 very real people I assure you, #1. #2, all cloud server customers still do enjoy phone support. If you have a cloud server, please see the recent newsletter with that #. Shared hosting customers have reply time up to 24hours, per our statement of services. Please contact me at mgmt-feedback@hostek.com with any questions!

Great FAST Service!!!

Umesh called me at 1:47 to find out if there was an issue with my invoice (which was long overdue.) I told him that I had had problems getting into my account but hadn't had a chance to sort it out. He said he could help me, and then I looked at the clock. It was 1:51, and I had a zoom meeting at 2:00. I told him he had nine minutes to solve my problem, or he'd have to call me back later. Well, he was ON IT. He took care of multiple issues with lightening speed, and we were done with THREE minutes to spare. Thank you!!!!!!

Emails have been down for 5 days due to Hostek changing over server. There has been very poor communication, no resolution to the issues Hostek have caused themselves. My business is at a complete standstill costing us £1000's in missed orders. There is not even an apology.

Can someone in the complaints department please contact me.

Hello Lee,

We have been very communicative during the email problems of a few weeks ago. If you did not receive those, please ensure you have your primary email on file up to date. You can also e-mail me at mgmt-feedback@hostek.com to discuss further.

Vladimir at HostTek.com consistently delivers outstanding service. He has helped me multiple times over the years, always getting my websites back up and running smoothly.

Most recently, one of my sites was hacked, and Vladimir jumped right in — he had everything restored and working again within just a few hours. His technical knowledge, responsiveness, and professionalism truly set him apart.

Vladimir provides genuine five-star service every time. Kudos to him, and thanks again for all your help!

A big thank you to Hassan

A big thank you to Hassan for the speedy help. My database crashed and a table unrecoverable but Hassan quickly uploaded the back up and everything was soon back up and running!

If I could give a minus star then I’d be putting -10 stars.
48 hours of waiting for them to respond to messages and they can’t be bothered to respond.. I have even tried at 3am and it shows that they are on line but don’t even acknowledge in any way whatsoever.

If you need a hosting company and maybe need help then stay away from this company.

Bryan,

As per our status page during the time period you reported this, we were experiencing a high influx of tickets. When you opened the ticket, a status page link was given to you (I just checked) informing you of this. While I understand waiting longer is frustrating, we did everything we could to keep you informed of that, and I am fully satisfied with our companies response here. We wish you the best in the future with your new company!
