Bait and switch. - Review by The Chauffeur submitted on January 11, 2003
Customer's web site: www.limoraces.com
Length of time hosted by this company: 1 year - 3 years

Customer service rating: 2 out of 10

Cost rating: 2 out of 10
Overall rating: 2 out of 10
1/2 price hosting was chosen for my project because of the services they supposedly offered with various plans but when I try to access these functions I am unable to make anything work. When I go to their support database the Q's and A's seem to be out of date. When support is called on the phone and you ask any tech questions they usually end up trying to sell you services that were supposed to be included in the hosting plan.
I've had quite a few problems with half price. Mostly, I think, because they are so departmentalized that when you try to correct one problem, it creates two other problems in their system. My credit card was even charged for hosting for someone elses domain name. I'm afraid to call them to get that corrected for fear that they will shut down my site accidentally or on purpose.
Bait and switch advertising is illegal in the real world, Why not in cyberspace as well?
I actually found webhostingratings.com when searching for a class action lawsuit for 1/2 price hosting as the defendant.
I suppose my last resort before that is to drive down to Louisville and plead with them to provide the services that they promise, and fail to deliver.
Meanwhile, I'm shopping for another mail server, maybe even another host.
