Internet provides a lot of good things. But it's also contains a lot of scammers, bad people, and worst services. Most of the people really get confused when they try to purchase their first web hosting plan or changing the current hosting plan from shared to VPS or Dedicated hosting. The sad truth is they did not get any good advice or guidance from experience people. So they loose their money and ended up in worst VPS hosting providers.
Many bloggers earns money based on different online affiliates programs. So most of them won't tell you which one is the right hosting service. They just promote the worst hosting services as the best ones. So you will end up purchasing the wrong hosting service and lose your money.
In this article, I listed some of the worst hosting provides you need to know. Its not any personal vengeance. We just need a good product and services.
Worst Web Hosting Companies
#1. Kamatera (Unmanaged VPS hosting Scam)
When I wanted a VPS hosting plan, I did not know much about unmanaged VPS hosting. So I searched a lot and finally decided to use the Kamatera CPS hosting trial. First, they got my credit card details and charged $2 twice (2×2 = $4), but they mentioned they would charge $2 (1×2 = $2) for a verification process. I found this information when I saw my credit card statement.
Then I created a server with Ubuntu OS and tried to install CloudPanel software on Ubuntu server. I made a lot of errors. Also, I can't reinstall Ubuntu. There was no OS image option available after I created the server.
Then I terminated that server. Again, I created another server and installed Ubuntu. This time, the total Ubuntu server froze with error. There is no option to get back. Finally, I closed the account. but I can't remove my credit card information.
This is the biggest scam. Even so, they won't provide any supporting articles on their website. When I searched Google, I couldn't find their blog or any supporting guides.
So I raised a ticket. They replied in a mail like this: “I can see this issue with the VPS. There is a kernel error. Please power off the server, terminate it, and create a new server.”.
Each time you create a server, they charge an amount and add that expense to your billing.
#2. Siteground (No proper Technical support)
This issue happened to my friend. Not me. When he gets errors and problems, their support does not answer very well (this happened every time). They always said, “Try to find a good developer to do this work”.
My Advice to Select a Good Hosting Service and Save Some Money
First, find a good hosting company that has blogs and supporting articles. All major hosting companies provide different kinds of technical support, like blog posts, supporting guides, documentation, and community forums. If the hosting company does not provide any documentation or supporting articles, it means they do not care about their customers. So avoid these kinds of services.
I am using Vultr VPS Hosting with CloudPanel Setup. Its very well and save some bucks. Most of my blogs running under Astra Pro theme with WP Rocket plugin. Its helped me to get google Google Page Speed score (sometimes 100/100).
