I’ve referred numerous people to them and hosted many clients sites on them. All I can say is don’t use them. They suck royally. They caused me to lose an account that had a very valuable web site i=on it due to their incompetence.

I predict they will be out of business in 24 months. They have gone from one of the best to the one of the worst hoster.

Sad really.

I am having problems everywhere. MyLittleSQL is just a joke, when it connects. All my subdomains stopped working. My directory permissions were not transferred and my users could no longer upload item photos. Support takes a long time to respond. I am running around looking for another hosting company.

STAY AWAY from these guys.

I have 5 semi-dedicated servers with WebHost4Life hosting more than 80 domains.

I just received a call from their ‘Support Team’ and some *SSHole named ‘Ken’ saying that they are “having trouble with the migration of my accounts” so they “will no longer be supporting DotNetNuke or SSL”.

Really????

He then states rather glibbly in his phone message that I should address this right away because my servers will be turned off in 2 to 4 weeks.

Bear in mind that I have been with WebHost4Life for more than 5 years. I spend more than $700.00 every month with this company and I have never missed a payment.

I never received an email notice that this was happening, no posting on the Web site nothing, just *SSHole Ken and his phone message.

I tried to call WebHost4Life, but those of you who host with them, already know that was pointless and wasted time and effort.

I started a live chat where I asked if it was true is WebHost4Life not supporting DotNetNuke anymore or even SSL? I was assured that was not the case. Just then I got through to someone on the phone at the new company who stated clearly that “WebHost4life will no longer be supporting DotNetNuke or SSL”. She then confirmed that my servers would be turned off in 2-4 weeks.

WebHost4Life.com = CrappyWebHosting4AFewMonthsUntilYouWiseUpAndGoElsewhere.com

PowerDNN.com is my new host. More expensive, but they speak and write english without translators and they are very responsive.

Stay away from WebHost4Life.com, forget about them being a lousy hosting company, they are just a lousy company period.

*confirm your ftp settings with wh4l. my control panel was showing wrong ftp connections. make sure the files on ftp server are the same as your website – upload a test page and see if it appears on your website.

*confirm your pop3 settings for email.

*my ssl certificate was not able to be migrated. wh4l should purchase and install a new one for you. note to self – make sure i wasn’t charged on my credit card.

*confirm that your databases have been migrated. my wordpress blog was down because of this. i also have a database for form data which has yet to be migrated. also, database connections have all been changed so you will need to update this in your code.

in my experience, support tickets are better than live chat. i have not had one problem solved by live chat. however, they respond very slowly to support tickets so you just have to wait.

for various reasons, i’m not able to switch hosts right now but if i could, i definitely would. wh4l is really bad!

This was just the start. They “lost” one of my databases and ALL the data contained in it. This was a real estate site so you can imagine the damage this caused.Then they added something called PEAR (my colleague understands all this, I do not) one file of which had the same name as one of my colleague’s database files and that particular site went offline at the weekend which was the site’s busiest time normally. The help desk was useless, my colleague eventually changed the name of his file and the site came back online, no thanks to WH4L.

I have had enough. Looking for a new hosting company. Pity as I have been with them for several years with absolutely no complaints at all.
