by Cathy - 2010-09-07 : Great service for the money. I found the folks at Webhostingpad.com extremely helpful when building my website. Whenever I called, I got a real person on the line in matter of minutes. In fact, that's the reason I chose this company. While considering various hosts, I called their tech support line for response time. Webhostingpad.com won hands down. If they continue to treat their customer right, this company will continue to grow. |

by Steven - 2010-09-07 : Definitely not the best Budget Hosting company... Beware while using Web Hosting Pad. I bought space from them some 7 months ago and they charged 50% extra on my credit Card. Intellwiz.com is the best according to me. I have been using them for 4 months now, and, i love them. They have the cheapest rates and they deserve to be the best Budget hosting company. |

by MD - 2010-09-07 : WEBHOSTINGPAD.COM IS REALLY BAD NEWS!. I used them for the last year. Their service was OK although I experienced many times when the site ran realy really slowly. I usually took a couple of back and forth exchanges with tech support to clear it up which meant the site was running poorly for several hors at least. Either that or sit on hold for 30 minutes waiting to speak to someone. SO, here's where it gets REALLY BAD. I decided after a year of this that I had prepaid for that the company wasn't suiting my needs, so I did not want to renew. When renewal reminder e-mails came in I tried to reply saying I wasn't interested in renewing. They bounced back. 12 DAYS LATER I STARTED RECEIVING COLLECTION CALLS AND A LETTER FORM A COLLECTIONS AGENCY. YES, THIS COMPANY SENT A COLLECTION AGENCY AFTER ME FOR SERVICES THEY HADN'T PROVIDED AND I SAID I DIDN'T WANT. The billing department rep was rude and unresponsive to any discussion about trying to resolve this in any other way than paying this full years prepaid fee. |

by Jim - 2010-09-07 : Great support for a website newbie. I hit a few bumps in getting my new business up and running. This being the first time doing a website, the help and support I received from Web Hosting Pad was spot on. I was equally excited about the low cost, I should have done this years ago. I look forward to a bright future for appliedecologic.com and WebHostingPad Thanks |

by Webdude123 - 2010-09-07 : WARNING! DO NOT GO NEAR THIS COMPANY!!!. Beware of the fine print! I did not want to renew with this company. I tried to e-mail them when they sent requests for renewal payment saying I didn't want to renew. THEY THEN SENT A COLLECTION AGENCY AFTER ME FOR SERVICES THEY HADN'T EVEN PROVIDED! As of this posting the president of the company has blown me off when I asked to speak with him. |

by Kyle Sievert - 2010-09-07 : Great Service. I have had this service for over a year, and it only seems to get better and better. I have not had much downtime and the new price I got for 2.99 / month is amazing. I do not think I can find a webhost for that price for that I get at Webhostingpad. If your looking for a good host, consider them. |

by Jason V. - 2010-09-07 : Great customer care. I tell you there is absolutely nothing like being able to understand someone on the other end of the phone. I was wholly expecting to have this service outsourced (because of the incredibly low price) but there was someone on the other line who I was able to understand perfectly. The person I spoke with was very knowledgeable about the cPanel and was able to help me get my website up and running in about 5 minutes. Not only did he diagnose the problem quickly he also walked me through how to fix it so that if I made the same mistake I would know how to fix the problem. It was quite a relief to not have to go through 20 minutes of recordings first as well. Everything from WHP has been top notch. |

by Anonymous - 2010-09-07 : NEVER-EVER USE webhostingpad!. extremely poor services, utterly bad client support, non-existent customer service... simply, a disaster! they have an answering machine on the phone, they disconnect you from live chat before you got to explain anything... terrible, terrible experience... avoid them! |
|

by Dave - 2010-09-07 : Terrible hosting.... I have a website, it just a small forum.. (a Vbulletin forum). However, for loading my site, that always take more thang 20s. So, i went to "live chat" of webhosting pad. First time, the problem was resolved. After 2 days, the speed issue backed and very bad at that time, i submitted ticket, nothing improve. I decided i must move my forum to another host , i can't stay with that hosting quality. So, after cancellation of my account, I lost 2 days after sent many tickets and talk with the guys in live chat to take back my domain information. About the refund of my cancellation case, i asked them about that by submitting a ticket. However, I couldn't imagine the way they acted. 1st, they closed that ticket....then i opened it again and asked them why they did that... wow... after that ... i couldn't see that ticket again... I thought i will back webhostingpad when they improve their service... but now, i swear... i never back to that hosting company. |

by Greg - 2010-09-07 : Webhostingpad is top notch!. Webhostingpad is the best thing that happened since I got into creating websites. They have been so helpful, guiding me through everything from setting up my account to installing scripts, uploading my sites, submitting my sites to search engines, and giving me a free domain name for life. Just because they are cheap doesn |

by Charles S - 2010-09-07 : Don't waste your time, effort, or money. Let me preface this review by presenting my opinion: Web Hosting Pad (webhostingpad.com) has been the worst overall hosting experience I have ever had, and I have had many. I signed up for one year of service at Web Hosting Pad ("WHP"). I was enticed by the huge space and bandwidth promises. I was naive and I soon found that it was a big mistake. Somehow I didn't think through the fact that hosting companies like WHP don't have the resources to really offer such huge space. They offer such huge space for marketing reasons and if anyone actually took them up on their feature list, they would be in trouble. If WHP is not a company using reseller hosting, then I don't have any advice for whoever is running things there other then fire everyone and start over. I mean it. |

by Robbie - 2010-09-07 : Dosent seem to be professional. I do not have a website. but i am looking forward to launch a site soon. so i went to live chat over webhosting pad. he dosent replied in professional way. it was like more of smilies and hunky funky stylo conversation with him. and it took about 11 minutes to him to answer my one query. i asked him whether "they support live video streaming support or not". thats it. I certainly do not suggest it specialy for newbies. |

by Mona - 2010-09-07 : Webhostingpad.com . Warning !!! Webhostingpad.com took my money and give me nothing. I still can not access the server. They not answer my emails. They are sending automatically emails with links to support ticket and when I click the links my firewall are blocking the links telling me about spayware look like this ert47.a1.wrs. so I decide to cancel the account. I have used the cancellation request form but still not receive any response from them, only automatically links to the support ticket with the spayware link. My website look like this ,Simpson's constructions page, not accessible start page. I did not get my money refund, and they still are not answering my emails. |

by Brian Passe - 2010-09-07 : Christopher in Technical Support. This morning I received exceptional technical support from Christopher at WebHostingPad. He was extremely patient and quickly understood my problem. I depend greatly upon my computer but am not technically proficient. Christopher was more than helpful, he was outstanding. WebHostingPad gives great technical support and I hope they give Christopher a bonus for having to service customers like me. Thanks You Christopher and WebHostingPad. |

by Jeffrey - 2010-09-07 : Good tech service and good cost performance. I am a new registered customer of webhostingpad and today I met some problem of the cpanel and the customer service Brian provided a patient, warm and professional service to help me solve the problem. Although I have not used as many as webhosting as others, but I think such kind of service is surely at the top level. BTW, the price is really good for beginners and hope WHP is becoming better and better. |

by Shana - 2010-09-07 : Great Technical Support. I was looking for a new web host for my personal music website. I decided to call webhostingpad because I was pulled in by their amazing price. I talked to Tim, he was a magnificent help, was highly knowledgeable, and a very nice kid. I was also very happy to hear they would take my existing domain and pay for the renewal cost each year i'm hosting with webhostingpad! Overall I have been impressed with their support team, I have called numerous times since signing up and they have helped me install forums and image galleries for my website. They also walked me through how to start getting my website on top ranked search engines. Overall my hosting experience has been wonderful and I would highly recommend webhostingpad.com to anyone I know that needs webhosting! |

by Chris Kay - 2010-09-07 : Strong Tech Support . Andrew was my tech support person. He was incredibly knowledgeable and solved my problem promptly. He was very friendly and professional. Normally I don't encounter this level of service at a "cheap" hosting company like this or I get sent to India. This was superior service. |

by Oxy - 2010-09-07 : 100% ,I recommend the Web Hosting Pad . Perfect Support made my dream come true" After trying few web hosting services , I was about to give up on the idea of hosting a site of my own ,until I tried Web Hosting Pad. I am here to confirm that they are exactly what I was looking for and couldn't find! FAST reliable SUPPORT,Powerfull handy Web building tools and easy to install scripts,unlimited hosting options for a very low price. Thanks to their support and generous help , I finaly managed to make and publish my site:) in a very short time. They have given me more than I expected! From fixing to installing, always there to listen and answer or do it. My personal experience with my beloved web hosting company has been one of the best experiences of my internet life time after online games.

by Dinesh Gandhi - 2010-09-07 : Great service!. Though I'm new to web hosting, found webhostingpad to be very easy to use, and their support (both tech and customer) to be amazing. The response times for tickets is fairly quick. |
|
|
by Chris - 2010-09-07 : Great webhosting!. This is by far the best hosting service I have ever used. The technical support is fantastic. There support agent Andrew is the most knowledgeable of the whole staff. I highly recommend you talk with him. For a cheap and reliable hosting service, I would highly consider webhostingpad.com. |

by Anonymous - 2010-09-07 : Webhosting Pad Is A Nightmare and Webhosting Pad worst host. I ordered a hosting package from Webhosting Pad and prepaid for two years. After constant downtime with Webhosting Pad, and hardly ever my website up, I canceled my account with Webhosting Pad. After Webhosting Pad refused any refund, they instead sent a barrage of nasty emails, threatening legal action. Since our company relies on hosting services to provide our clients with websites, we have suffered damage of reputation and other costs associated with this dealing with Webhosting Pad. |

by Aaron Gooch - 2010-09-07 : Cold Hard Facts. For the price it is hard to beat. I am a programmer and found the tech support lacking. They could not help me get python scripts running. After a few days I figured it out myself, they simply don't care unless you hound them. Not unusual. When my site was down for 2 days straight they claimed they were installing a security patch. Don't know how a patch install takes 2 days. One day later the site was down again. They make you pay extra for everything. SSH, good luck, $20 extra. Unlimited Storage = wrong, they give you 10GB and if you go over they ask you switch to a private IP for $70 a month. So if you want to spend less you will get less. You have been warned. |

by Scott Smith - 2010-09-07 : Best ever. I have used Godaddy, 1And1, Bluehost, Fastdomain, and Host Monster in the past. Webhostingpad out does them all, plain and simply. They have the best customer services, features, reliability, response time to troubleshooting, and prices. |
|
|
by Frank - 2010-09-07 : The old bait and switch. They promise you the moon and the give you a rock. Now for the price, they are just as good as most hosters, but the certainly do not deserve the brilliant reviews I have seen here On their site they claim: "Secure Server OS Commerce Shopping Cart Password Protected Directories Open PGP/GPG Encryption " However when I called to get the Url for the "secure server" they told me they didn't provide free shared ssl it was $70.00 more a year with a dedicated ip When I asked why they offered : "Ecommerce Enabled w/ Secure Server " As they state on their home page, their answer was that their servers are secure. Just not SSL Also their customer service people are "less than freindly" and quick to shove you off to the support page which you can log into. Being a web geek for many years now I can figure most of this myself. But watchout Newbie. |

by Russell - 2010-09-07 : Excellent Service. This is the first service I have worked with where the tech support was patient, communicated effectively and verified that my site was uploaded and working effectively. We are off to a great start! |

by Alex J. - 2010-09-07 : A pleasant experience. I was looking for a webhosting company and like many of you was stuck on which to go with. I'm glad I made the decision to go with webhostingpad, the price is great, the customer service was astounding (they help me set up my coppermine image gallery and wordpress). They were also very kind on the phone. I was also really glad to hear they have 100% american based support! The services they offer are great for the price you're paying I can set up unlimited email accounts and host multiple domains and websites under my one hosting account price. I would highly recommend webhostingpad.com! |

by Simon - 2010-09-07 : I am speechless.... I am sorry to say that, WebhostingPad's support team is not that great. I post about 5 tickets/qeustions, and they just try to close them, instead of helping. All they did was provide the internet links I already surfed and studied. I wouldn't ask for help if I can figure out what I did wrong. They just keep asking what's my web site, and what's the procedures to reproduce... and finally i got this~ We don't provide coding support. Please check with your programmer to fix the issue with coding. [What exactly do you guys support?!] ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS, ARE THEY SURE THEIR PRE-INSTALLED CGIEMAIL WORKS! DOES CPANEL INSTALL IT CORRECTLY! ANY WEBSITE FOR ME TO CONFIRM! |

by Fred Dooley - 2010-09-07 : EXCELLENT HOSTING PACKAGE. I have been using Webhosting for awhile now. Service has been great. Tech support is very good. I have used it a few times. I make the call brief. There is no sense in wasting a techs time. Uptime has been very good. I have just added a couple more more domains. It is nice to deal with Americans. I apreciate an American company with American people. Dealing with some one who thinks they can speak English is horrible. My hat goes off to Webhosting Pad. Keep up the great work |

by Dave - 2010-09-07 : Wow, what customer service!. I set up a couple domains and am moving another to webhostingpad and their customer service is incredible! And a super price too! |
|
|
by Dean Harmon - 2010-09-07 : A very good Webhoster. I switched over to Web Hosting Pad because of a few reasons. One, they have Cpanel, which few other hosters offer at that price. Also their tech support is really good. Anything I needed changed or done was always done in a short amount of time, and their online tech support is phenomenal. I've only had one small problem and that is that the first time I uploaded my site, it disappeared a few days later, but I re-uploaded it and haven't had a problem since. I highly recommend them. |

by Ashley Grandt - 2010-09-07 : GOOD SERVICE. Webhostingpad is great! There support is so fast to pick up the phone. I had some technical problems with my site and it was fixed within minutes. I highly recomment webhostingpad for there support and a great price. |

by Bradford - 2010-09-07 : Please avoid. I signed up for 2 years with webhostingpad to get the best price per month. Their support answers quickly, but they tend to forget about me often, making the chat sessions unnecessarily long. The couple of phone calls I've made to them revealed that they only had one (or a few more) people answering phones - and I got the same guy on chat. He wasn't helpful or friendly. When I chatted in (today even) with an issue adding domains, the chat "Technical Support Agent" answered that I had to email someone else. What's the point of chat support? During my first month (the month where you can get your money back if you're not satisfied) my site was quick and I didn't have any problems. After the first month, it got much much slower. I only use the site for a family website running wordpress, but it is almost unusable. I suspect they put the new accounts on the faster servers, and the older accounts (that are now stuck without an "out") on the slower... |

by Glen - 2010-09-07 : The best ever. this is the best hosting ever and they are the most user friendly persons too. They simply rock and the hosting is the fastest ive seen yet. |

by J. Warner - 2010-09-07 : If no one visits your site, then it's great!. When I hosted with the site, it was constantly up for a while, then it started going down all the time. It is extremely slow 95% of the time. There were about two weeks where the servers were down. The worst part is that I work with flash video files. Recently, they decided to stop hosting flash video files. All of a sudden, my flash video files wouldn't work. After contacting them, they stated that the scripts were too large for the servers. They didn't contact anyone, but just let it disappear. I would stay away from them. They use to be great and now they are completely worthless. |

by Oxy - 2010-09-07 : I strongly suggest Webhosting pad to all. After trying few web hosting services , I am happy where I am now. Very fast GREAT support, no down times, easy to use and pro web building tool,with tons of layouts and script installer. On top of all this they are cheap with unlimited options. I registred another domaine today. Oh BTW remeber one thing, PERFECT WEB HOSTING doesnt exist, but perfect support does. And perfect support is what you need to stand out. Good luck all |

by Qiana Watson - 2010-09-07 : Simply the best. I am a total novice when it comes to the world of web design and publishing; but the people at webhostingpad.com just walk you through everything step by step. Brian Henson, a customer support technician, is just wonderful every time I speak to him. I highly recommend webhostingpad. |

by Roadrunner - 2010-09-07 : awesome. i just got my account with whp and it was such a simple process, I used their RVsitebuilder and it was so easy and my site is already up with no problems. as long as they keep up these awesome features and super low price i will always stay with whp. |
