HostGator Downtime? Time to Switch!

by

If you’re a HostGator customer, chances are you’ve experienced slow loading times and a lot of downtime drama. HostGator is one of the many brands of Newfold Digital / EIG and they’re one of the most popular mainstream web hosts out there, but the reality is they’ve been providing subpar levels of service for a long time now.

The Truth About HostGator

HostGator’s popularity in the web hosting niche can be largely attributed to its substantial advertising budgets and enticing affiliate commission rates. Their extensive marketing campaigns and generous commissions have incentivized many bloggers and affiliate marketers to promote HostGator, often leading to an inflated perception of their quality and reliability.

Just how many times have you read a 10/10 (or 5/5) glowing review for HostGator? How many “top 10 sites” have HostGator as their #1? Trust that these ratings are not because of HostGator’s actual quality of service — it’s all because of the affiliate money.

At the end of the day it’s important for prospective customers to look beyond the hype and consider the actual performance and customer experiences to make a well-informed decision about their web hosting needs.

The Decline of HostMantis

by

We all know that in the web hosting industry, reliability is paramount. It’s 2023, a lot of businesses are online, we make online transactions everyday. For those of us who own online businesses (especially e-commerce), we’re literally putting the reputation and the very life of our businesses in the hands of a hosting provider.

For years, HostMantis was one of the trusted names in the industry, offering affordable and dependable hosting services to all sorts of customers, and they were quite popular among resellers. In recent times however, many users have voiced concerns about the decline in HostMantis’ quality of service after their sale.

When HostMantis underwent a change in ownership, many users have reported issues ranging from frequent downtime to sluggish server performance. A lot of their (ex-)customers have posted their frustrations on forums and blogs.

Here are some quotes from WebHostingTalk or WHT, a forum for discussing web hosts and hosting in general:

“I’ve been with HostMantis for years, and the service used to be great. Since the change in ownership, I’ve noticed my website experiencing regular outages. It’s incredibly frustrating, and their support has become unresponsive.”

“I thought HostMantis was the best budget hosting provider until recently. My website’s load times have slowed down significantly, and I’ve had to deal with several unexpected downtimes. I’m actively searching for alternatives.”

“HostMantis’s support used to be fantastic. Now, it feels like they don’t care about their customers anymore. My emails go unanswered for days, and my website’s performance has suffered.”

The Search for a Reliable Alternative

For those who have grown tired and frustrated with HostMantis and are looking for a replacement, FrogeHost is offering refugee discounts to shared and reseller customers.

If you’re looking to leave HostMantis, consider switching to FrogeHost. Account migrations are completely FREE, and if you contact FrogeHost with proof that you’ve had a HostMantis account for at least 3 months, you can get up to 50% off your first invoice (any billing period).

EdgeVirt Shuts Down

by

EdgeVirt, a VPS/bare metal provider, is saying goodbye. In a post on a popular web hosting forum, a user reported that they received an email from EdgeVirt saying that all services will be shut down “over the next 14-21 days.” This was posted on the 29th of August, 2023, so if you were an EdgeVirt customer, it’s time to find a reliable alternative for your cloud services.

It’s quite interesting that earlier this year, EdgeVirt expressed their plans of expanding their services, so something unexpected must have happened for them to decide to close down their business. We can only speculate as no public announcement had been made as of this posting. Here is a screenshot from their “Announcements” page:
