Heard that Apthost sucks? How about Apthost hosting problems? Saw some Apthost down times, Apthost hosting complaints or bad customer experiences? Can these negative reviews be trusted? Heard some horror stories about Apthost webhost? READ THIS FIRST!
If you are considering to get a hosting account from Apthost, you may want to (or probably have tried to) search for the keywords “Apthost Sucks” or “Apthost bad” on Google. However, the result may confuse you. Perhaps you have read tons of good stuff and rave reviews about Apthost.com thus far?
Did Apthost.com experiences and stories like below or made you think twice to signup with Apthost Hosting?
- “…I did a major overhaul of my website and this morning, I found out that my website had been reverted to like two days ago. Emailed them and was told nothing can be done…”
- “…Basically I’m screwed. Thanks Apthost.”
- “I’ve made huge changes to my site
successfully and I went to bed, next morning woke up to find that all my efforts went down the drain…“
If you go through each of Googles result pages, it seems there are many unsatisfied customers and clients who have been through some sticky situation with Apthost. If you search for the keywords “Apthost sucks”, you see that there are hundreds of search engine result pages (SERPs) returned by Google. Is that a lot of bad things said about one hosting? Assuming all those result pages really talk about why this hosting provider sucked in some ways. There may be a few more result pages when you search for “Apthost scam”, “Apthost issues“, or ”Apthost problems“. Do these hate or complaint sites worry you after you have read so many positive reviews? Did the hate pages make you wonder if Apthost hosting is any good?

Does this kind of research too simplistic? It is, but it works. You ask any 15-year old and ask if they prefer to use a company with 200 complaints or no complaint? Don’t under estimate the power of simplicity. Just K.I.S.S.
To be fair, you should also look at the positive sides of Apthost. Do not dismiss the fact that Apthost is one of the few PHP5 hosting companies offering FFmpeg in the market today. You have to read the other good Apthost reviews elsewhere. Apthost is probably not all bad, although we would not put our money on it. If you need to use FFmpeg, the have these modules installed: FFmpeg & FFmpeg-php, Libogg & Libvorbis, Flv2tool, LAME MP3 Encoder, Mplayer, Mencoder, and GD Library.
How Good is Apthost Web Hosting
From the above number, there are more complaints than positive comments about them on the web. But that is normal even with the best website hosts. So you need to go through the complaints and judge them yourself. As a matter of fact, you may not encounter the same situation. Apthost also comes 30-day money back guarantee.
We know, finding a good web hosting can be tiring and time consuming, when you should be building website, writing your blog or selling your product. We are not against or for Apthost. We let you be the judge.
Our verdict: Hostingsthatsuck.com Recommends An Alternative Host
We are now recommending the alternative hosting plans by MyHosting or InMotion hosting. MyHosting is cheap and does not have any complaints when we did the same “suck” search like below. You pay for what you need as they are not one of those unlimited domains hosting kind of company. You need FFmpeg or any other software installed? Not a problem. Our Myhosting review and InMotion hosting review said it all. They are the best in terms of not having much complaints on the web. If you have any doubt at all about AptHost, get MyHosting.com or InMotion instead. If you are asking for another webhost recommendation, MyHosting or InMotion is your answer. InMotion hosting is slightly cheaper than Webfaction in terms of price.

The answer may surprise you! Click to reveal
I’m in web business since 1996.
So obviously I’ve been around!
I have changed many hosting providers in reseller and VPS packages. Always being a very patient client in issues with my service.
For the last 2 years I’m with AptHost. These guys have top support and very reliable service. My hardware issues are eliminated and all other “soft” issues need of human support are resolved in light speed.
AptHost gave me the piece of mind that I was looking for, now I can concentrate to sales and my clients needs… Apt does the hard work for me, in a fair price too!
I have used many others host’s in the past and they all had some problem or another with them. I have been with Aphost for 6 months now and they really impress me. I am pretty much a novice when it comes to alot of the different things like mysql,and other areas. They have allways been there with a quick resolution to my questions and problems that I did not know how to fix or address. I use them for 5 different sites on one account and everyone of them run flawlessly. If your looking for reliable low cost hosting for your site.
“LOOK NO FURTHER”
One happy customer here.
Keep up the great work Aphost!
Are you fucking kidding me? Where the fuck are you from? Mars?
Here’s my experience with Apthost so far:
I have been customer for them for over 2 years now. I referred lot of my website clients to them because they are looking for hosting.
The price was decent and the service was good on shared hosting so I keep using them until I decided to go to dedicated hosting. That’s where all the fucks up happened.
First they charged me for dedicated server that I ordered but gives me one below level server. I checked my server specs to find out. I didn’t say anything because I thought they just made honest mistake.
After that I was getting lot of traffic and I upgraded the port to 100mbps. It was working great.
Then suddenly they closed my account stating that it was mistake and from that point all the headaches started to pour in. The site wasn’t operational most of time and the server keep crashing.
I keep calling them and sending them e-mails to fix the problem. They keep restarting the server. Finally they told me that problem is happening because of memory issue and I need to upgrade the server.
So I ordered new server with 2 x Intel Xeon 5345 DQC with Dual Processor, Quad Core utilizing the 1333 MHZ FSB and 4Gb memory.
It suppose to be setup within 24 hours but it took them over 4 days to setup. After the new server is setup they started to migrate data from old server to new server.
Now it is 2nd day I’m waiting for the migration to be done. I just checked the new server through FTP and realized that it stop migrating for 1 day now because my current server been stop working for 1 whole fucking day.
They don’t respond to e-mails and when I do called them, they keep telling me that they are working on it.
Well, I’m sick and tired of hearing they are working on it.
Well, here’s the most fucked up part about Apthost. I found out by checking out the new server specs and realized they gave me lower level server but charging me for higher level server. What the fuck?
I just sent them another e-mail complaining this problem and have them fix the both server issue and my billing issue.
I have advice for anybody who wants to look for hosting company: STOP FUCK AWAY FROM APTHOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once the new server is finally up and running, I’m going to look for new hosting company because I lost lot of time and money by dealing with Apthost.
So where the fuck are you from that you are saying Apthost is good?
i use to like them until i got a deticated server that they could never get right so we opted to cancel the server we submitted a ticket to have our sites sent back to our shared server with them and cancel the deticated server this took 5 weeks to complete during this time we got billed for the deticated server again we then asked about a hundred more times throught there ticket system to get this server canceled and have been unsuccessfull so i sent another cancellation request with all the details of why i wanted to cancel this server then they emailed me back asking me why after i already told them i then responed to them and they say the never got the responce and canceled the ticket and kept the server on i then get another bill after i asked them to turn the server of 3 times now then i get this in my email Hello,
I have canceled the server however because your request was within 7 days of the server renewal date you will be required to pay the current due invoice on your account as the due date is today. Please login and pay this invoice, once you do you will no longer be required to pay any further invoices.

the finaly canceled the acount but want me to pay for another month are they crazy or wht why would i pay another month when i have been tryingt to get this canceled since april 30
They SUCK!!! I recently noticed that I had been double paying my invoices for the past three months. So I complained about it. I submitted a support ticket, and I have been waiting for almost a month to get it sorted out. Now suddenly they have cancelled my account because they say it hasn’t been paid.
BE WARNED!!! DO NOT USE APTHOST!!!
I would never use Apthost again. Their servers corrupted two fully working and separate shopping carts I had hosted with them. I just got a negative ‘your index.php file is incorrect’ from their support team when I enquired about this, who immediately closed the ticket.
I had to remove these carts and upload them again. Two weeks later, all three of my sites had the php code corrupted as did all of my html pages. On browsing my html pages, it was waiting for a service that was not even part of my sites.
I don’t know whether it is malicious code on their servers, or the act of a malicious employee? What I do know, is that I wouldn’t trust them to host my sites ever again.
I have been in the web business for over 13 years now, run hundreds of websites and have hosting servers in several states.
APT Host is absolutely the worst web host that I have ever dealt with. I have experianced prolonged downtimnes with them every couple of months during the year that I hosted some of my sites with them. They do not pick up their support phone lines most of the time and when you finally get hold of someone they don’t seem to really care. They are very unprofessional.
They already had a big lawsuit recently and now my company is in the process of filing another lawsuit against them because the last downtime lasted two weeks during which time my company lost a large sum of money because of this downtime.
If you care about your business STAY AWAY FROM APT HOST!
apt host service has been down more then up in last 3 months, mysql problem, routing problem, bad ram……
noone is answering the calls and live rep is only available for 5 hours per day. If you lucky the rep will tell you to open a trable ticket.
This is the support and hosting apt hos provides me with.
Regardss and tanx for allowing me to vent.
p.s. apt host network is down at this time, again.
