Since we have looked at what makes a good web hosting company, now I think it is a good time for us to highlight the bad points of some of the terrible companies out there. With the important pointer that we are giving out, I am sure you will be able to spot a bad web hosting company when you see one. The first symptom of a bad web hosting company would be if they keep spamming you with emails, it means you should not consider them at all.
Be wary about companies that praises themselves as the best in town and gives promises too easily. If you find out that this company is giving too many benefits and deals that no other is giving, then you ought to avoid them as it is all too good to be true. There are many of these fishnet companies out there, set up plainly to just get your money and then of course, avoid you like the plague once they have it.
Be wary of companies that requires you to pay them in full amount at the very first moment as trusted companies would not do so this way. Do be careful with certain companies because they might be needing you money to solve their problems or it might not even be a real company at all, thus it is best to be wary about doing business with companies which are not trustworthy. All in all, you also need to know how to spot a con a mile away – and this is the best.
Another thing to take note of is bad customer service which would usually be a bad-tempered and impatient voice on the telephone line. On the other end of the spectrum is no voice at all – you can call and email till kingdom come and there shall be no response other than a voice message, or even worse, a dial tone telling you that the number you are calling either does not exist, or is so busy, that you are not able to get through. Of course the latter is highly unlikely, unless of course they are being hounded by the IRS and a million other irate customers.
Last but not least on the list is the one man show web hosting company, which is often going to be littered with things like slow response times, slow everything and the fact that your point of contact, the manager, the service person, the technician – all seem to have the same voice, and this is a sure sign that they are not all born from the same person, but in fact, is just one person running the entire show.
