Cirtex Hosting

hello all CirtexHost Lovers!!

Fist of all I Just cant believe the negative comments made above.

I have been with Cirtex Hosting almost a year now, sure like any other hosting company once in a while they have down times and no matter who your provider is they will have down times.

What I dont get is why some of you make a mountain out of mole hill.

Their support may not speak very well english but if they know what they are doing that does not matter and They do Know what they are doing.

If you have trouble speaking to them try writing, I found writing to them detailed explanation works and works much much faster than if I were to speak with them.

I also like many of you own a lot of site and waiting my sites renewal and believe me you I will move all of them to Cirtex hosting.

They have created a nice homey atmosphere for web sites funny way of putting it right well I feel extremely comfortable to be working with them and recommend them highly.

I migrated to cirtex hosting from my last ISP http://osb.net after Walt (the owner) died. I did a lot of work there, and it was taxing on my time, but Walt was my friend and I stuck through it, I had researched for about two years and some change, all over the place, google, altavista, WHT, even looking at the shady places outside the US, for a host that could handle a pair of drupal's and a custom links database on a shared hosting server. I finally decided I wanted to have more spare time, and not be constantly messing with system administration on an unmanaged server like I currently was at the time.

I decided on a price and started really weeding out places, and ended up going with Cirtex.

I have not had any problems that I couldn't solve by beginning to write my problem down, and suddenly realizing the solution because I forced myself to write out the question specifically. Usually I bail out on getting support because I figure it out on my own this way.

When I have had to use support, (when I first started) it's was reasonable and satisfactory.

I've had

http://sacxtremetv.com

and

http://sacxtra.com

running there since...April 16th or April 17th 2007.

This was at a time when it wasn't clear which hosts would be able to handle drupal.

I had tried the default godaddy hosting, when I registered my domains and quickly learned about tables LOCK. That ended that.

Since being at Cirtex, I haven't had any problems that were not reasonable, I don't consider a small downtime when they switched servers a deal killer. Nor a re-boot for a kernel or restarting a service...In short their uptime is about the same as my uptime on my server at home that I develop on.

I have saved time, and it was reasonably priced my sites appear to be stable. Also I mention it's a company that's been around for awhile. (that was another pre-requisite I had, I didn't want some teenager who selling me four year contract and his own domain was only registered for one year.)

Full Disclosure: I don't work for Cirtex, and I don't know anyone there personally, or via IRC or anything, but I do believe in giving kudo's when it's due, and that's a rarity these days.

Yes, during my migration from another freaking host, my sites were down and up but let me tell you this, their support is great and fast.

In the end, they got all my sites up in no time.

I have many websites at Cirtex and all of them are fast and stable.

I did not even have to do anything to migrate all my sites to Cirtex as they do it for me very well.

I even promote their hosting on all my video websites like www.NeuroSurgeryVideos.com,

www.MyCookingSucks.com,

www.HouseTubeTv.com,

www.WeddingTubeTv.com,

www.BeerTubeTv.com,

and many many more.

So if you want a reliable hosting site, just click on my link.

Thank you Cirtex!!

I even have a website called www.BullShitWebsites.com(the #1 website in the world-9million unique visitors) and I give Cirtex an A++++++ .

At the end of the day, I am making $$$$$$$$ from my sites and all thanks to Cirtex.

Cirtex was the 3rd host I joined and since then I've had no reason to move on, the support has always being prompt and fixed issues as quickly as possible - and if they couldn't provide an instant fix they had an honest approach, told me how it was, and moved my ticket up to the higher level techs instead of tip toeing around the problem.

I can only recall 1 major downtime, but this was due to upgrading the server - and we was told well in advance so arrangements could be made.

I think that's about all I can say really.. oh and the price is very competitive!

If you're unsure then do as I did and give them a try since they offer a 30 day money back guarantee, I don't regret it - hope this helps someone.

Terrible hosting my sites been down half of the time since in joined only 2 weeks ago

support is terrible

can't believe drupal likes them.

Even in there so called testomanal section the reviews that like them half of there sites are down.

madness ,

Horrible. I had multiple billing problems, multiple down time problems, and received 0% useful support. Their stated up-time is a joke at 99.5% which they don't even meet. hitler_stole_my_potato@yahoo.com is you think this is just make believe.

They double charge your credit card, setup very slow,support tickets won't be replied in two days at least.

YouTube clone hosting? Don't use Cirtex (HostV). I used this host for less than 3 weeks. My site was down 3 times in 10 days! I had not even installed any of the YouTube clone scripts yet!. It was just my regular ol' site with no mult-media yet.

Cirtex overloads everything. I tried getting a refund b/c of their 99.5% uptime gurantee. But this is no guarantee at all. A guarantee implies money back, no? Well, not w/these clowns.

DON'T WASTE UR TIME W/CIRTEX HOSTV

Sometimes the service is ok but there are some weeks with slowdowns and downtime.

Pretty ok for the price but not for mission critical sites.

Tech support doesn't speak proper English, you may be required to submit multiple replies to get things done right.

They also have packages for busy sites (semi-dedicated kind) that cost more and are not listed on their homepage.

Those plans work for sites that get digged and with proper caching you can stay online.

I previously left a review on HostJury about CirtexHosting. Man was I overly optimistic three months ago. I feel it is my duty as a webmaster and blogger to explain why this company could not even PAY to have me stay with them.

This company has given at least a quarter of its users nearly 40 hours of downtime in the past few weeks.

What's worse, is that they would constantly take sites down without warning. There was no thought of downtime in my mind, and then problems start happening. Their customer support is clueless half the time, and most of them can't write proper English. It is the most pathetic excuse of a company I have ever seen. It just frustrates me beyond belief.

To make things come to a peak. This afternoon, my site dies. Okay... No notification, they moved everything to a new server. Great! Oh wait, THEY DELETED 4 MONTHS OF DATA FROM MY SITE!!!

Thank god I had a backup from a month ago. That would have been hundreds of hours of work down the drain. This company nearly cost me my business.

To make up for it, I was offered two months of service for the downtime, and additional free service for my sites data being compromised..

It is a slap in the face to think they could justify the horrible support and experiences I have had.

Please, everyone who reads this review, NEVER... EVER sign up with this company. You must listen to me. I swear to you, it will save you so much stress and anger.

I'm looking for another hosting provider. Servers are down way to often. Mail never arrives or comes days later. Tech help is borderline useless. See "james jernigan" post, that is accurate and I can't word it better. The feature list is long. FTP in small batches as it hangs if large amounts of data are sent. Increased reliability would negate the need for most support and therefore would raise rating.

I joined CirtexHosting about half a year ago. I have since then had my ups and downs with the company for my site, Tech In Demand.

For the price, you are getting a great package. The servers are sometimes over crowded, but the uptime is very impressive.

Support has degraded since I have joined, but they do tend to get things fixed relatively fast. It is acceptable for the price.

To summarize, this host is great if you are just getting started making a site and want many features for a dirt-cheap price. Once you get serious with your site, it will be time to move on.

I started with cirtex in 2004, and am still more of a beginner in web work. I have about 17 domains, mostly aliased to 3 different sites. My domains are basically brochures, static sites with a few pictures, no flash, no cgi, little storage, and not that much bandwidth. cirtex had done fairly good for the first couple of years, but this last year i was having multiple site outages, and email failures more than once a week.

multiple trouble tickets resulted in "it's fixed now" followed by "no, now it's really fixed", and then by "we don't see any problems" and finally by "we think we have solved the problem now". The support desk is manned by folks with english as a second or third language. The support forum is filled with complaints, many of which are deleted instead of answered. Avoid if you have any real reliability needs, and if you don't, why are you even up on the net?

Support is by people who are obviously not fluent with English. Strange things happen, e.g. outgoing mail server crashes, instability in PHP5 support. I started out with great expectations of reliability and state-of-the-art software but am becoming dis-illusioned.
