In my opinion – and that of many of my business associates – HostPapa has a multitude of problems with customer service and honesty.

In direct contradiction of ICANN regulations, they will list themselves at the domain name administrative contact. Essentially, they are taking control of your domain name, and will do everything they can to prevent you transferring it away – unless you pay “renewal” or “unlocking” fees. In some cases this can amount to $200 or more.

ICANN does NOT allow a “losing” registrar to extort money to release a domain name for transfer.

If you want to complain about registry problems, send a copy of your message to the “real” registrar, TuCows. HostPapa is NOT an ICANN-Accredited Registrar.

I believe that HostPapa is a business front for TuCows, and they have “offices” in England and France so they can avoid taxes, and appear ‘international.’

My advice, based on my experience is: stay away from HostPapa. I really don’t care how “green” they appear to be. I don’t think they can be trusted.

I have removed all my domain names from their clutches, and cancelled all services with them.

Until recently, we had every confidence in Host Papa, however, over the last two-three weeks, we have had a spate of outtages, followed last week by all our sites being hacked by zebi.php. Support responses have been bland and formulaic and not a great deal of help. Today our sites were hacked again, this time by a different hacker – this after following advice received from Host Papa support to change/update/reinstall etc. Strangely, there are two or three sites held on servers elsewhare that have not suffered in any way, leading us to believe that the Host Papa server we are on is not secure enough. We have now moved all our sites away and although we still have a couple of years left on our plan, we do not feel confident in continuing hosted our sites with Host Papa for the time being.;-((

They are terrible when it comes to customer service, cancellation, or any account adjustments. They just kill time to push you through another year of terrible hosting. Also, they bill you for post dated services even if they are covered through the payments you made for previous service you purchased and paid before requesting to stop renewing your account with them. Trust me, you never want to give your credit card information to this pirates.

I believe that HostPapa is a business front for TuCows, and they have “offices” in England and France so they can avoid taxes, and appear ‘international.’

My advice, based on my experience is: stay away from HostPapa. I really don’t care how “green” they appear to be. I don’t think they can be trusted.

How dotsauce.com reported that the domain DNForum.com talk page offers a new service for its members: Who wants to be rid of his Altdomains, they can at a price of U.S. $ 20 – offer to other members. This process has significant buyer advantages – and the disposal well.

Not everything that comes into the garbage is still garbage. Some people find quite usable, if not exactly looking for a long time. This and the circumstances that a deleted domain for weeks remains in “pending-delete” process, consuming and restored to a considerable price has to, or a Backordering service equal to more charges excited at this, a special service at DNForum set: members can register domains, want not renew it, from 30 days prior to cancellation DNForum.com for U.S. $ 20, – to offer. This gives other members the opportunity to conveniently get hold of useful domains that provide at least not only because of the fact to have been registered before, a number of advantages.

This offer gives domain owners who do not want to keep the domain registered for longer, while the chance to actually recoup at least the cost of domain registration and management again. But that it must be feared loss back ordering services as SnapNames, can exclude themselves, as a rule one may well assume that the products sold via DNForum.com domains would not revive really back-ordering according to seo hosting review. This new service offering as a win for all involved. Course is a prerequisite for membership in DNForum.com, one gets even by simple application, but it is really interesting only when the payment memberships, their prices at U.S. $ 19.95 (gold) and start at U.S. $ 399.95 (Exclusive). The Domains can sell in the DNForum it only from the Platinum status, which currently costs U.S. $ 59.95.
