LOL *snort* LOL...I still feel the sting of what H9 did to me, and it's been a year since I found another host! For any of you who want to defend them? Well, that was me for the first eight months! Loved them, couldn't say enough good about them...but THEN the suspension without notice and being told I had to go elsewhere, even though problem could have easily been fixed...and they COULD have told me there was an issue before suspending. Lazy dishonest jerks!! Sure they're great...until they burn you too! I love that Fredo thinks all the negatives are fake, and his glowing report is real!

I asked a specific question, which is my issue with my current host, and rather than answering, he pointed me to the terms of service. That was a bit of a sting though not enough to thwart my desire to host with them, but enough to prompt a research. From what I have read here and numerous other review sites, I think it wise that I avoid these guys at least til 2012, then I'll check the reviews again.

After the dramas last year when the sites were down for a week because of a fire, um, ever heard of redundant servers not in the same center? I think they're probably on about 80% uptime for me. Rude help desk, slow response. Now they've changed something and half my sites are down. All they do is blame others. Host nine are amatuers, two guys in a room.

Their service has really gone downhill in the past three months. Today, ALL of my sites are down again. This is the fourth time in the past few months. They guarantee 99.99% uptime. I haven't seen it. Phone support is useless. I sent in a support ticket over 4 hours ago and still haven't received a response. I tried redirecting some of my websites to another site (with another hosting co)and the redirects don't work. I'm shopping for another provider. Host9 has cost me too much money.

Today my ticket on Login issue, was not answered for 4 hours, i was not able to help my customers, because of that, I was not able to login to my reseller account. I still do not have access to my account. As for now this might cost me my customers. And even more, since I even can not move theyr sites to my own server. The support line is blocking my work, and cellphones, I'm getting message that the number has been disconnected. I have called the support 2 times in 3 month, thay are saing that they do block abusive callers, but by making 2 calls in 3 month to support you can be considered as abusive caller... so do never use them. it can cost you your customers, and maybe more, it might cost you all the work you and your customers done, on the sites when they become unavailable, and you will be block.

Only reason I use them is because my second REAL hosting company (Hostgator.com) - which by the way is a great company with REAL support... does not support my specific script.... until I can find a replacement for H9. Ahh... the beauty of the Internet... let it reveal those can of worms that is H9... .. and for any other posters "bigging" up H9... you either work for them, or you haven't experienced the pain associated with them... oh... don't fret.. you will... sooner rather than later...

I expected they will solve the problems basically and continued one and half years to find it is getting worst. I lost my face in front of my clients with their emails servers. But any kind of Hackers have free access to their servers. But they will suspend accounts if any hacker used one domain for any purpose. I am not waiting to finish 2 yrs with them. May god bless them. Rajeev Hostnine Reseller experience is realy disappointed one to me.

H9 is one of the better hosting companies out there, if not one of the best and I've been with several. I've always and let me repeat ALWAYS have had great service from day one with H9. Most problems I see are due to customer "give it to me now" attitude. If you don't have the patience to host your site with a hosting company then you have no business having web hosting service. S*** happens deal with it and that's exactly what H9 does. They are small but don't let their size fool you, they know how to make it all work so you don't have to.
