They SUCK. I first did a test run of my new Joomla website on a free hosting service. Everything works fine. Two days later I upload the SAME site on StartLogic, and wham. 404 – component not found. They’re “resolving” my problem now. I’m giving them 12 hours and then I’m taking my business to SiteGround. Judging from several reviews, they know what they’re doing. Unlike StartLogic.

Update: Turns out a faulty power supply and a UPS that failed to function took down Starlogics entire network, including their own website. 8 hours later still having random problems, but its getting better. My customers think I’m a blithering idiot

Startlogic does SUCK! The whole company is down as I write this!, all weekend had problems. First chance I get, I’m out of there!

Started Saturday and I was upset over the outage, wanted something more than “we apologize for the problem”. The answer from customer support “Do you call a cab because you can’t wait for the bus”? and the guy gave me a premium support popup!

I waited a whole day, then a customer support engineer said my DNS was not pointed at startlogic, closed the ticket. That’s total bull, I’m using URL forwarding.

Then an engineer says I’m exceeding SQL queries, max set at 75,000 at their end, and they will investigate. I haven’t changed anything, then suddenly one day it starts? I went with that answer, they promised me they would escalate.

Then 9 hours later, an engineer says “the categories of your blog are missing please correct the problem”. Closed the ticket. Thats bull, can’t see the pages because there’s a problem on their end! I reopened the ticket.

Finally an engineerr says I need to pay for a vps, or $20 a month to add #SQL queries. I did it. 2 days later I was up

Was it really that? Doubtful. Today, even startlogic.com was down. All my sites are down.

Conclusion: People are talking up startlogic because they are affiliates! They get commission for saying good things about them, forwarding them traffic. DONT USE THEM!

GoDaddy SUCKS. No limit to users per shared server which makes loading your website a “snail” more times than other hosts. It will also “time out” a lot. The worst part is NO support. Speak to a tech and he or she doesn’t know what you are talking about. All they can do is place a ticket for you that ends up in a what they call a Que. My website has been down for 18 hours and there is nothing I can do but wait in the Que. If you want to deal with form emails and surveys twice a day use them! In the end you get what you pay for. With GoDaddy it’s aggravation, lost visitors, lost time and energy. I am going back to a company I have experience with – StartLogic. They aren’t #1 but they can keep your site up and running properly. From experience try the smaller companies – they have to try harder to survive. When they get as big as GoDaddy they don’t care about losing customers – there is another to fill the space right away and the CEO laughs all the way to the bank. “World class support” my butt cheeks!!

Startlogic has gotten worse over the two years I have been with them. Email problems, long wait for telephone support and the slowest back panel (Vdeck3) I have ever used. When you see good comments about Startlogic you have to ask yourself one question. How many of these sites are affiliates that get 100 bucks for each sign up? I signed up 1 person and was ripped off by Startlogic because they said I was trying to get free hosting. You be the judge……….My site………www.alpha1.ca. The site I signed up………..www.thatitalianplace.ca. Wow have a computer repair business and an Italian restaurant……..ridiculous. Just a matter of time and I’m gone!!

When you see the bad reviews, multiply it by 10-100 times because people in general are slow to act when they are wronged.
