I agree. I once sent in a customer support e-mail and got my reply in 5 mintues! I thought I was gonna have to wait for days to resolve the problem. ICDsoft definitely provided a really nice first-time hosting experience for me.

I googled for "icdsoft sucks" just to see if anyone had ever complained about them. I've had a site hosted at icdsoft for nearly 10 years, and have never dealt with a company that provided such consistent quality in the area of customer support.

I was with HG for a few years and recently they’ve started to really suck. They’ve had multiple outages and did not give me a suitable answer as to why the outages happened! Since then, I switched to http://www.tigersites.com.

Hi Jim, sorry to hear your experience with their affiliate program. If I were you and have web hosting clients to refer to, what I would do is get the reseller hosting. It cost you a little bit more for a reseller account but you get to keep the clients paying YOU, year after year. Two to three clients on the reseller hosting is enough to cover your cost. The rest is profit.

I have not had experience with Host Gator’s hosting. From what I can tell on Host Jury, they appear to be a decently solid hosting company.

What I have had experience with however, is their affiliate program. We sent several of our clients via our affiliate link, and were not credited with any sales. When I contacted support, my response was very fast and polite. I was told however that all our referrals were sent via different affiliate links, and was notified of their ‘last cookie’ policy.

While I don’t doubt that clients could have visited HG through our link, and then visited HG again through another affiliate link, it’s puzzling to me that it happened with several different accounts.

Based on this, we’ve decided that we’ll no longer recommend HG to anyone, and would strongly advise website owners not to use their affiliate program at all. We’ll absolutely be sending the rest of our clients some place else.

Comment on Why Hostgator Hosting Sucks and ICDsoft is better by admin

That is what I am saying. The percentage of people satisfied with Hostgator is less than those hosted at ICDsoft although the absolute number is bigger. Look at the ratio or percentage of the “suck” pages over the overall pages about them on Google.

If you just want to host one website need basic storage/bandwidth, ICDsoft is a good deal given the price.

Don’t get me wrong. I have accounts at Hostgator too because they offer certain things better than ICDsoft such as unlimited add-on domains, huge diskspace, bigger bandwidth, usage of cPanel etc.

Good to hear this review helps. I try not to review from the traditional point of view. Instead of doing the “best web hosting” review, I try to look at the bad angle first and see which hosting company “suck the least” or has the least problems or complaints. Hostgator seems one of the best from this perspective.

I have started another website http://www.hostingsthatsuck.com to review web hostings that “suck”.

Right on man, I really appreciate your reviews. I’m going through hell right now trying to find the right host who doesn’t oversell. I was with HostVector for 6 years but 2 month ago they got bought out by Millenium Data and its been nothing but hell since. The old host was amazing, these new guys who bought them out have no clue what they’re doing. They don’t even answer the support tickets which is something the old owners did flawlessly!

Anyway, keep it up. You definitely earned a bookmark.
