Which hosting company you don't trust?

[Heatman]

The same way there are good and reliable hosting companies, there's also the worst in the business. The ones which I can't trust for any reason whatsoever are ; EIG hosts, Go Daddy and Dreamhost. It's a complete waste of time and resources using their services.

Which hosting company is the worst you've used?

Their customer support is awful and I’d rather stick to companies that have more reliable customer service.

Winner post.
EIG is (and has been) a provider you just don't walk away from... you run.
Sadly.. they sucked up a few decent hosting providers... and drug them to the sub-levels where things go to die.

Web Hosting Brands under Newfold Digital (EIG) Today​

Newfold Digital now manages the big basket of hosting brands that once belonged to EIG.

I was going to post a few that I knew of from this list. However, I didn't seem to realize they were all the same company.

Sounds like my favorite brands (Quicksilver, Billabong, DC Shoes, etc.) and Authentic Brands.

Which hosting company is the worst you've used?

I got to say, I've used Dreamhost for over 15 years, and aside from a few hiccups here and there (like with any host, none of them are perfect), they've been really good to me.

My only complaint is they raised domain name (.com) costs to $20 a year versus the $10 a year it used to be.
