Ready Hosting

Worst company I have dealt with in my whole lifetime! We have not had a website for 10 years and yet, I recently discovered that we have been being billed each January for an ever-​increasing charge for non-​existent services. The service was cancelled but we never noticed the annual charge until recently. Their customer support was polite, but absolutely unyielding in requests to refund the charges. It’s basically our word against theirs. THEY have no record, and we certainly have no proof that we cancelled. Read the other reviews and take your business elsewhere!

Tried to backup a client’s site that was hosted on Ready Hosting. Terrible interface + charging extra for basic services (like site backups) + constant server timeouts = HOT TRASH

Ladies and gentlemen, if you’re here, then you have my deepest sympathies. You are likely the victim of the ABSOLUTE WORST hosting company I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with in the nearly 20 years of experience I proudly hold beneath my belt.
— I’ve spent the past 2 weeks dealing with them.
— They’ll add suspicious files to your server
— They’ll shut it down without warning, claiming their site picked up a problem (IT WAS AN ARCHIVE OF THE EXISTING SITE)
— They’ll fix 1 problem while creating another problem
— Average response time is 24h-​to-​never
— They’ll lie to you about fixing a problem
— Give you the run-​around
I’m ready to blow my brains out. I can’t believe there’s a company so frustrating. The only reason why I’m dealing with them is because a client was adamant about wanting to remain.
After 2 weeks of inconsistency and returning problems, they’ve decided they now want a Squarespace site.
If you have any clients or are a business owner with grievances, don’t wait another second– get your site off this ancient, buggy, Windows 2003 server! You’ll get a cheaper and more comprehensive deal with GoDaddy or HostGator. They’ll look like an oasis compared to ReadyHosting!
Again, you have my deepest sympathies. Don’t fight tooth-​and-​nail, don’t pay these bastards another cent.

They have now gotten so desperate that when you want to cancel your hosting account they pretend to cancel it and continue to bill your CC.
There are plenty of reliable honest hosting companies, RH is not one of them.

They keep going downhill. Now they have this sitelock scam where they allow code to be injected in your site and then try to charge you after taking your site down. Very unethical. They need to be regulated. Also, they are owned by EIG who also owns Hostgator now.

My review and my experience mirrors Alan O.‘s of November 15, 2013, but his two stars are overly generous in my opinion. I, too, have been a victim of ReadyHosting for years. I’m in the process of moving all of my domains away from them. I have nothing good to say beyond the fact that the customer service folks are polite. That’s handy, because if you deal with this company you’ll be filling out «tickets» a lot, and dealing with the helpers a lot. I’ve put up with them for ten years now, so I’ve given them a fair chance. One star, and that’s generous. Pass on this one. If you’re not convinced, Google, then pass.
