Azhan's Usability and Design Reviews

Design, Usability, Template, and Product Reviews

Yeah, here is my review. ICDSoft web hosting sucks really bad. They are so bad because they don’t have any bad reviews about them when I searched for “icdsoft sucks” on Google today… yeah bad for their competitors is what I meant. Now that they have special extra discount with their ICDsoft promotion link, they suck more (to their competitors)! I also tried “icd soft sucks”, “icdsof sucks”, “icd sucks”, “icd soft sux” or even “icdsoft scam” and other variation of misspells, just in case some smart ass cannot even spell the host name right or try to avoid being sued by ICDsoft. Sorry still none.

Web hosting by ICDSoftI always do a search for “X sucks” or “X problems” on Google for every host X (replace X with any hosting company) before I decide to host my sites anywhere. Most other big hosting companies including GoDaddy, Hostgator, Hostmonster etc has some kind hate-sites or hate-pages dedicated to them by some unhappy customers. Surprisingly ICDsoft doesn’t have one! So I decide to create a page for it now. Sorry ICDSoft! I hate you ICDsoft, for not allowing me to exercise my option to choose other hostings after this!

I have been with ICDsoft for more than 6 years and currently have 7 accounts with them. I also have other 5 web hosting companies that I currently use for my clients. To be honest, ICDsoft hosting is the cheapest, and their customer support has answered my support tickets at the fastest times compared to all other hosts I have experienced. You also get more discount with more accounts you have with them so they are also the best cheap web hosting if you are a web developer or web designer with multiple clients.

I try not to be biased when I do this ICDsoft review but it is hard not to. So I have no problem recommending it to anyone. Now click here and start your online business today. With their prices already low price, it is like they give you promotional code or discount voucher that never expire! Although the price is among the lowest in the market, ICDsoft customer support and services are still the best!

Web Hosting Search Keywords Total Results
Hostgator Hostgator Sucks about 3,930
iPowerWeb iPowerWeb Sucks about 1,060
Lunarpages Lunar pages Sucks about 1,010
Bluehost Blue host Sucks about 1,480
1&1 Internet 1and1 Sucks about 350
Webfaction Webfaction Sux almost none
JustHost Just Host Sucks almost none
ICDSoft ICD Host Sucks almost none

How Good is ICDsoft Hosting?

You don’t need another ICD Soft critique to decide. Look at the numbers above. Numbers don’t lie. You can read as many reviews, comments, ICDsoft issues, ICDsoft limitations, ICDsoft complaints or criticism you can find. Here is the challenge to find a better hosting than what I just recommended. Go search for some other hosts with no “X sucks” pages on Google, and post them down here in the comment box. Better yet, try find such a hosting company with the same criteria as ICDSoft but with cheaper monthly hosting price (I paid my hosting package at ICDsoft about $6 per month but now you can get cheaper with ICDsoft promotion link). If you do find it, please do post a comment here and I will retract this recommendation. You can also become ICDsoft reseller or affiliate once you are a customer and get more discounts on your next accounts.

Updated: More reasons to signup today! You can get extra 10% reduction from the final price by following the special discount link below. This is a secret link and available for a limited time only. We wished we had found this promo link before we signed up with ICDsoft. Lucky you.

ICDsoft Discount Link *

* You need to use (click) the above link to get the special discount. You will notice that by going directly to www.icdsoft.com will not entitle you to this special price reduction.

Did you already get your domain names registration done elsewhere on a different registrar? Are you one of the proactive entrepreneur who has domains names already signed up at some bulk domain registration providers? Then it is time to get hosted at the best cheap web hosting company. You won’t regret it.

  • I was looking for the most usable portable stroller, pram or pushchair for months. All of the strollers I found has some kind of disadvantage. Either they are not really portable as it should i.e bulky, it does not recline fully to flat position, tipped over easily, etc.

    Baby Jogger City Mini Single I found is one that stands out above the rest. I checked around and found that almost all user feedbacks about this baby product is highly positive and rated above 4/5 on average. This is the best rated stroller you can find on any site.

  • I have been using the Illacrimo theme for this WordPress blog. It is a very nice looking and clean template by Lifespy. However, since I am now using WordPress version 2.7, this theme seems old because it does not reflect the changes and updates that version 2.7 has to offer.

    I am thinking if a few things can be fixed so the theme can be reflecting changes by WordPress 2.7, this would be a perfect theme 3-column blue layout template. Things that can be change includes:

    • threading for comments which will make this theme look so much better.
    • sticky post can be highlighted at the top of the page

    If anybody has seen an Illacrimo theme for WordPress 2.7 or better yet a downloadable one, please let me know.

  • I have been using the Smashing theme for one of my other WordPress blog. It is a very nice looking and clean template by Design Disease. However, since I am now using WordPress version 2.7, I want this theme to reflect the changes and updates that version 2.7 has to offer.

    I am thinking the fixed Smashing theme reflecting  changes by WordPress 2.7 may include:

    • threading for comments which will make this theme look so much better.
    • fixing of the gravatar icons which is currently broken and not displayed
    • sticky post can be highlighted at the top of the page

    If anybody has seen a Smashing theme for WordPress 2.7 or better yet a downloadable one, please let me know.

    Last time I did a review about ICDsoft and how they have almost no complaint about their service when I looked at the search engine result pages (SERPs). Recently, somebody pointed out a much worst web hosting company. Pronethosting.net sucks bad as they don’t have any bad reviews about them when I searched for Pronethosting sucks”. Pronethosting is bad because they are cheaper than ICDsoft! Even cheaper (for the first year) than most other web hosting companies I have seen so far. Bad for their competitors is what I meant.

    Hostingsthatsuck.com showed that the SERPs are the same with “pronethostings sucks”, “pronet hosting sucks”, “Pronet host sucks”, “Pronethosting sux” and other variation of misspells. Read the rest of this entry »

    Last time I did a review about ICDsoft and how they have almost no complaint about their service when I look at the search engine result pages (SERP). Recently, somebody pointed out a much worst web hosting company. Just Host sucks bad as they don’t have any bad reviews about them when I searched for just host sucks”. They are worst because they have packages that beats ICDsoft! Worst for their competitors is what I meant. Justhost.com offer unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited email, unlimited MySQL, and host unlimited domains. Unbelievable.

  • GoDaddy Hosting vs Hostgator

    Here is one crazy statistics when looking at which web hosting (email hosting or whatever other hosting requiring to use their servers), GoDaddy Hosting got 30% hate pages dedicated for them in Google result pages.

    Hosting X Total Pages
    About Host X
    Total Hate Pages
    About X
    Hate/Pages Ratio
    Hostgator 2,100,000 28,000 1 %
    Godaddy Hosting 691,00 204,000 30 %

    Time to switch to other reliable hosting such as Hostgator?

    Read more about Hostgator at http://reviews.azhan.com/web-hosting/15/best-hosting-review-hostgator-sucks.html

    The above fact is also the reason why you should have your website hosted by a company other than your domain registrar. A company can only do only one thing well. If they host, they cannot register domains. If they can register cheap domains, they most probably cannot host your web pages reliably.

    So who is your daddy now? My suggestion is to switch to Hostgator and pay a penny by using the coupon code HGC25. If you find Hostgator also aren’t for you, just cancel and you don’t have any troubles of trying to get your money back.  Atleast, most pages in Google says they are way better than your GoDaddy hosting.

  • Eat My Review: Host Gator Sucks

    Heard they giving problems? Some say Hostgator scams? Can these negative reviews be trusted? Looking for Hostgator issues? Heard some stories about their limitations? READ THIS FIRST!

    If you are considering to get a hosting account from Hostgator, you may want to (or probably have tried) searching for the keywords “Hostgator Sucks” on Google. However, the result may confuse you. Perhaps you have read tons of good stuff and rave reviews about Hostgator thus far.

    Hostgator experiences and stories like below may make you think twice to signup with Hostgator:

    “i left GODADDY and went to HG… 3 months and my site was never up!”

    “My saga with them began when they took down one of my websites I had hosted with them back in November 2006 without notice because they claimed my site used 11% of the CPU. ”

    “I gave up on Hostgator a while ago, and I thought I’d cancelled my account until I noticed they were still charging me… “

  • Battling to choose between Hostgator or ICD Soft? Comparing hostings to host your next website? Considering Hostgator vs others? How good is Hostgator hosting compared to other hostings? In my previous post on Hostgator and Hostmonster Sucks, but ICDsoft is Okay, I mentioned about the alternative method to find the best hosting for your personal blog or business. However, I over simplify the analysis by just looking at the first “search engine result page”.

    You can read the post at: http://reviews.azhan.com/usability/13/hostgator-and-hostmonster-sucks-but-icdsoft-is-okay.html

    If you search for “ICD Soft Hosting Sucks” on Google, the first result pages will show only good reviews, despite the keywords that we use. Basically, 0/10 pages listed will say bad things about ICDsoft. On the other hand, doing a “Host Gator Hosting Sucks” search on Google will return 9/10 hate-pages about Hostgator and only 1 good (or neutral page) review page.

    Does that mean Hostgator should be avoided totally? Not yet. I over simplified my analysis to not look at the big picture. I did not look at the total pages that talks about both hostings on the internet. Hostgator has 10 times more pages on Google thus probably has bigger volume of complaints too.

    Hosting X Total result pages
    about Hosting X
    Number of
    Hate Pages
    Hate Ratio
    Hostgator 2440 28 1.14
    ICDsoft 208 0.5 0.24

    The numbers above are in “thousands”.

    From the above analysis, the ratio of hate pages for every result page indexed by Google still says that there are less complains about ICDsoft than Hostgator. So the choice now is more obvious, ICDsoft is better than Hostgator.

    But people say Hostgator is the best web hosting

    Still convince that you should atleast try Hostgator? Here is a way to try hostgator to see if it really fits your needs and can live up to its expectation. Yes it is NO RISK trial (well maybe a penny). Use Coupon Code – FTPHOSTING now and Try Hostgator For Only $0.01. In addition, the Hostgator coupon codes 2012, SERVERHOSTING, could save you 25% on your first invoice.
