From a good company to a unfriendly one

Hostnet has been a good provider but if you move a domain 2 days later then contract ends they will charge you the full amount and their customer service also really does a poor job. Too bad they slipped from a great start-up to a bad company. Stay away..

To complicated, and bad info

I took an account on Hostnet, to claim my domain name, and made a email account. Also a free website ? Yes !! So I tried to make my free lite web, but it wasn't possible. Looked on the web and also read on other sites; free, easy and so on. But after half an hour I contacted Hostnet why it would't work. Answer; You can only link one option to youre domain. And that allready was my email address.
Put that info in the 'free lite web' window so we can all save that stress.

very nice people who will help you in good and bad times! Thank you so much specially Vera from Support!

The only thing what not worked well in our opinion was the email service! Hard to login and you don't receive signal/message when you receive a new email so you always have to check your email by login!
Thers is also no email app that make it easy to check quick incoming messages.
Specialy with an restaurant, where people make reservations by email its frustrated and doesn't work!

Bouke was extremely helpful

Bouke was extremely helpful. The system was in Dutch and was overwhelming to me, I was able to get the support I needed in English even if it was very technical and have all the information I need to get what I need up and running! Thank you for the great support Hostnet!

Excellent experience!

First of all it is one of the few companies that provides several communication options including a phone number to call when in need.
I needed help and Kadir helped me competency and courtesy. Well done!
