    Quick2Host Review

    Posted In Reviews, Webhosting - By NitiN Kumar Jain On Saturday, November 8th, 2008 With 71 Comments
      



    It may have been too early for me to write a review for Quick2Host as my association with them is only 2 months old but I would definitely like to mention my personal experience with them till now.

    I have been with Manashosting for some time now and being unhappy with their services (read here), I was in search of a host that could offer me best services and was cheap too. Then while surfing I came across a new host Quick2Host.

    After navigating their website thoroughly, I googled to know more about them from their existing clients. After reading couple of good feedbacks I was convinced that I could safely migrate one of my managed website to this host.

    I initiated the process with them via phone and mails and I was happy to receive the instant responses. It seemed they were following the proactive approach. I was under the impression that their customer service was much better but I did not know that they would be courteous and supportive till the time I actually pay them. And the same thing happened. As soon as I bought a package and paid them, I felt being lost.



    My website was configured and I received all login details for manage domain and control panel systems. I uploaded my website and it all worked fine till then.

    But problems started soon.

    My website required automatic mails to be sent to administrator so I was using the Mail function of PHP. But it was not working here. I raised a support ticket with them and they just replied to use php mail function and closed the ticket. I reopend it telling them I was already using it and it was not working. It happened almost 1.5 months back and when I checked the ticket yesterday, it was on hold. Nothing has still happened.

    Another point that I wish to raise here is that, they say that their technical support is available 24*7 but it is only available 9 to 7 and that too only on weekdays. They don’t reply your mails on weekends and after 7 in the evening.

    The package that I bought gave me a free domain but can you imagine I am not the administrator of that domain. I cannot change its values as it has been locked by Quick2Host team. My all attempts to get its control from Quick2Host were in vain. They denied my request saying that being a free domain I had not right on it. It is now needless to say that I have to forget it as I had already paid them for a year (I must mention that Manashosting gives full admin rights on your domain even if they offer it as free)

    Let’s see how my next 3 quarters with them go. I hope they would be better.

    You can also give your feedback about their services by replying to this post. It would be helpful for people who are searching the web for a new host server.

      The exact true is not yed disclosed. I bought an unlimited plan 6 month ago. I am a developer and I need to frequently update my code. So whenever I update my code, it gets down(I am using asp.net). I request them for again and again but no response. It may take 3-4 days to resolve the issue.

      Also the server they provided is very slow to response. I used some third party error tracking(ELMAH) and it shows there are 10-20 timeout or related error occured even I applied all the coding and DB optimization for performance issue like indexing, Advanced paging, Reducing number of fields in my select query, Data caching to avoid repeated query etc. Stil it gets timeout error.
      You may find the error llist at

      I am posting this comment on 30th March 2011 7AM and my site is down till yesterday morning after I update my code.

      Also when I first start they setup my FTP account in a way that I caould not operate and it took 2 days to resolve.

      The CPanel they supported is so slow that it takes 1-2 minutes per page load and most of the time timed out. If Their OWN CPANEL is so slow then how could be there shared hosted server they provided us?

      So Please be carefull while chosing this hosting by seeing their LOW COST.

        They are again the worst web hosting company in India along with manashosting …

      Quick2Host is the most pathetic hosting site available. If you try calling on their telephone numbers, they will never pick the phone, you try to do live chat with sales team, they will not be available. No matter how many support tickets you raise, they will not reply.
      My e-mail is not working from past 4 days and trust me I am still not aware how will I get my mail functioning again.

      • http://nitinkumarjain.in NitiN Kumar Jain

        absolutely in agreement … they s*** big time ..
        they don’t have after sales support .. once money given .. that’s it .. u just go to hell …
        better move out of them now …

      I also have the same experience . The worst service in the world.

      • http://nitinkumarjain.in NitiN Kumar Jain

        absolutely … traumatic experience with them …

      I agree, they are pathetic in terms of services. They don’t have things called email/chat (because they never respond); the only way I have been able to get my issues solved is by calling them, during weekdays, during 9-7 time range, repetitively. Trust me, this is the fastest way to get your issue resolved. If you call them repetitively, you might get your issue resolved within 7 days…

        That is absolutely right …

          To add to this; my website’s domain was expiring on 20th, and after “discussion on telephone” they asked me to transfer the charges and inform them by email, which I did within few minutes. Now my website has been down for 4 days, and when I “called them”, here is what happened:

          Me – Hi, my website http://www.j2eeconcepts.com has been down for last few days.
          Q2H – Your domain name expired!
          Me – But I made the payment, and sent you an email as per our discussion.
          Q2H – You didn’t mention transaction no.
          Me – You should’ve told me; even if I missed transaction no., you should have just responded that transaction no. is missing, instead of putting up my domain name for sale
          Q2H – Itne emails aate hain, hum kis kisko respond karenge
          Me – …….

            This is pathetic … I wonder why people are still going to them when there are many international hosting service providers who are giving an extremely good service …

      Quick2host is a ghost for me. No one go nowhere near quick2host. If i have a word worst than “worst” i can us it to describe quick2host. They are money looters. Support is utter worst, never responded to me timely. Usually in most of the web host if some part is bad there is will something better than other in the features. but in quick2host nothing even reach the word “worst”
