WebHostingPad is the cheapest Linux web hosting company but it's also the notorious web hosting company over the Internet. It provides nearly no technical support that most of the tickets need several days to be addressed even some of them are ignored totally. The web host performance is terrible. The testing website with WebHostingPad based on Joomla nearly cannot run at the peak time. It takes 8 - 10 seconds to load the home page at non-business hours usually. The more serious problem is that WebHostingPad keeps charging the credit card of customers even they have cancelled the account for some time. The 30 days money back guarantee is just a fake in fact. WebHostingPad scam is not kidding! Keep away from them. If you're looking for a reliable and affordable web hosting, we recommend you WebHostingHub. Read more about WebHostingHub here.

    These guys are total scum bags. They stole my money and they ignore me even though I am due a refund. There is NO way in hell this place is good at their job. They have to steal money. They have to scam clientele. They lie about their green hosting or whatever they say they do... that's a farce... I would use any other company than this one. Its for entry level or first time site people at best... but then again, why take a chance not getting the service and then not getting the money you laid out for a year....

    Appalling customer service emailed 7 times only repsonse was 'thank you for your enquiry'. I wanted to move hosting and would have to renew with WebHostingPad because you deduct from my credit card automatically. What the hell you're. I have requested to refund, whatever, I have to cancel my credit card. This was the worst choice as I read some faking "Positive Review" for you from some bad sites. I have signed up a new account on WebHostingHub. So far, their customer service looks quite different to WebHostingPad.

    I believed the relatively good reviews on WebHostingPad, and put my customers in their hands. The first month was OK, but then my site slowed to a crawl -- WebHostingPad kept packing more and more users on my shared server. I finally threw up my hands and upgraded to Business Class. What followed was straight out of a horror flick. None of my sites would work on the new server, so I tried to get help from tech support. Big joke. No help there: they just half-listen and don’t understand your problem, then say, "I’m going to submit a ticket for this. An admin will be with you shortly." Then it was a day before hearing back. I knew they were going to shut off my Power Class server in 48 hours, so I sent them an email saying Do Not shut off the old server until you have been able to resolve my issues.

    They did it. They shut off the old server. And all my web sites went dark. I called, frantic, and the support guy said he’d have a tech get right back to me. No response for 36 hours. I had enough. I’m now happily running my sites with BlueHost and so grateful I am free of that freak-show. Run away as fast as you can.

    Well ..honestly...seems as thought no one really cared or was concerned at all about the problems I was having. I use my email to make the money that pays the bill to you and supports my family. If this continues. I will look elsewhere for a company to provide me the service we require.

    I'm new to WebHostingPad, and just called to confirm my account after the payment. I don't have anything set up yet. It's not automated as your advertising. So I can't really rate your support well.

    We filed a dispute to get them to cancel our shared hosting service and asked for money back 2 weeks ago, their 2 staffs told me via phone that they would feedback me soon, but now there was still no positive progress. Too frustrated web hosting reliability and customer service!

    After a frustrated restoration (for which I had to pay 10 dollars) my web stopped working, my Cpanel stopped working, even my ftp stopped working. I was an entire day in contact with the most awful technical service and, o did not know or did not want to solve the problem. The only solution that they offered me was pay another 10 dollars again restore the web again but of course, saying that there were no guarantees of which everything was well. A few thieves.

    webhostingpad has stolen my money for 3 months. I have cancelled the hosting account with them 3 months before because of their poor hosting reliability and slow web server. I noticed that I was still charged on my credit card in last week unbelievably. I sent them the mail but there is no response so far. I have called my credit card provider to block the payment to them. It's a small deal but I never see such a faking web hosting company.

    WebHostingPad is slow on running WordPress and it's lack of technical support. I have requested for the refund after signed up for 3 months. Fortunately I didn't get any trouble on the cancellation. I personall don't recommend WebHostingPad even for private using although it's the most budget shared web host.

    I was seeking for a cheap web hosting to host my several sites without much traffic. I'm happy to find webhostingpad in this review site, which can completely meet my requirement: cheap; hundreds of free marketing credits; unlimited addon domain, disk space and bandwidth; and cpanel. I could not talk more about its reliability and customer service right now. But I'm happy my sites have been running there.
