Best Web Hosting Providers

I an trying to migrate my web hosting, emails and such away from my current service provider. No matter, someone I know suggested webcentral, was… Read more

MelbourneIT, big name, should be good. The matter is a bit complicated, original web builder and host closed his business and the new owner is problematic from my point of view. My IT guy say have a conversation with webcentral and get them to clarify the matters- email, microsoft exchange, ownership of the website,hosting and website maintenance etc, then let them run the migration- no mishaps no sabotage by the new hosts. All good!

Rang webcentral, spoke with a parrot overseas, round and around, around and round. Open an account then we can do the migration. No, I wish to discuss the matter first- there are complications. What you have to do is open an account and then we can migrate it all across , repeat, repeat, repeat- the conversation was recorded for quality and security- of course. Apparently all things in life can be resolved by a bot and a parrot (is guess it was a dead one, pinin, expired). What does one do, I hope some liveware engages with me tomorrow- other wise I say stay away, there is no help here for non-account holders here.

Joshua understood my problem and solved it within minutes. I was very grateful for the support.

Migrated from Namecheap to DreamIT, my experience has been smooth and the one time a migration went awry (I had not configured the MX records… Read more

incorrectly for my email custom domain) they were able to diagnose the issue and step in to update the records for me so that I was able to receive client emails again. Support for tickets was actioned round the clock so ticketing 24/7 customer service really did what it said on the tin.

I will be moving the rest of stuff from Namecheap to DreamIT by December. Their technical support (including explanations) have been good so I can learn how to do more of the configuration myself over time.

Awesome service: a real person who knows what they're doing, based in Australia, actually called me back to help fix our website issues. What more can I say..

Crazy Domains drives you crazy - WARNING!!! Congratulations and 100 stars for Crazy Domains' "CAN'T DO" attitudes and for ignoring serious safety… Read more

warnings after blocking my professional email services used for working with vulnerable people in crisis.

If I could give MINUS 100 stars for service and PLUS 100 stars for scamming, tricking and trapping the customer, I would. If you value your sanity, stay far, far away from CRAZY Domains. Also, do not believe their "positive" star ratings, it is just another scam. Their call centre staff overseas are polite and lovely in the (scripted?) chat, even to the point where they call you a "good and nice person", and they sound helpful. However, you wait forever, the chat drags on and in the end, the agents cannot solve your problems. I have tried many times and wasted hours on this, but they usually say the person who can make decisions is unavailable, but will contact you the next day, then it does not happen or definitely not during the time window you were available. The polite agent urges you to rate THEIR services and emphasises that you are only commenting on this particular interaction, and not the product. Then the "survey" asks if the agent was polite, and of course, you feel sorry for the polite call centre staff and give them the 5 stars. From now on, I will decline the "survey".

My particular major problem with Crazy Domains currently is: 6 years ago, I requested a plan for a small, mental health practice with a very basic website that does not have any traffic. It basically holds my contact details. The price for 3 years seemed okay, and Crazy Domains even offered a free upgrade. I was happy.

Upon renewal 3 years later, the price had more than doubled, and when I went through the agony of investigating this, I was told I was on the "Linux Hosting - Premium Classic" plan, which was no longer available. I asked for a downgrade to a cheaper plan and was told this was not possible for multiple technical reasons (mostly lies I have since found out). Apparently, they could not migrate my data to the cheaper plan, and I could possibly lose all my data if they would try. It was an extremely time consuming and frustrating process communicating with multiple agents and pseudo "specialist customer advisors", none of which did help reach a resolution. Time was ticking away and my renewal dateline was approaching. I was so fed up with their constant lies, "pass the buck" techniques, delay tactics and the endless waiting times and constant "can't do" attitudes and threats of holding you hostage with your data. They do an excellent job trying to wear down the customer and call it customer "service". Totally frustrated, I renewed and paid up.

Now, it is 3 years later and renewal time again. The invoice is $695.79 for an inactive, placeholder website, 1 business email I am using regularly and another one I never use. They offered a "discount" of $133.91. I decided it was time for a smaller plan and started to contact Crazy Domains a good week before payment was due. I tried ringing for days, and the system always hung up on me after I had selected my options. Their website states their business hours are: "24 hour customer service", until 10 pm and until 11 pm - all on the same page in close proximity next to each other. I must have rung 30 times or more at different times, but was always told I had rung outside their business hours. Then I tried the live chat over multiple days and spent hours waiting for the agents, but when I typed a couple of lines I got the message "are you still there?" Often the chat or the website collapsed, and I had to log in and start again after having battled with log in difficulties and more waiting for yet another agent, to whom I had to explain the same story. The agents could never help other than saying some "expert" or "specialist" would ring or email me the next day.

Renewal was due on 14/10/2026, and on 12/10/2026, I was told the "specialist" would send me an email offer the next day (13/10/2026). I never heard from this "specialist". By then, I had invested lots of time to try and negotiate. "Crazy Domains" knew we were going through a dispute process. Then, from 6.32 am on 15/10/2026, my email was suddenly shut down (incoming and outgoing). Since then, I have invested over 12 hours of my time negotiating with Crazy Domains and getting them to unblock my email. I have alarmed multiple live chat agents that I am a medical practitioner working with vulnerable and disturbed patients and other treatment providers, who are all using this email to contact me. I have made it very clear that there is a real safety issue for people, and Crazy Domains has to unblock my emails, but they don't care about endangering people's safety with their greedy and unethical business practises. They also refuse to give me the codes to my emails so that I can change to another provider. They are legally obligated to release these codes. Once again, I was told a "customer specialist" would contact me by email with the codes and their best offer for my plan - they wanted to email me after they had blocked my access to all emails! When I reminded the customer agent that they had disabled my email, he urged me to set up a NEW EMAIL for the "specialist" to email me. I arranged a time to take a phone call. Of course, I waited for the call, but the call came hours later, when I was at work and could not pick up the phone, as I had explained to several "very polite" customer agents many times. Trying to respond to this missed call did not work - so, I hit yet another brick wall! The matter remains unresolved, my emails are still blocked and Crazy Domains are withholding the codes I will need to get my data transferred to another provider. It is yet another weekend, during which I will be told multiple times by ever changing agents that no person in authority can be reached over the weekend. This is utterly disgusting and unacceptable behaviour. Crazy Domains should lose their licence to operate in Australia.

I have just moved all my web sites and 18 domain names to ROBTEC Hosting and am delighted with how easy Roberto made this process. I have halved the… Read more

cost of web hosting compared to my old provider and the websites are loading significantly faster. I am also saving approximately $125 on annual domain registration fees. Keep up the good work! See the attached image which shows the improved response times.

Great service provided by Zain, He has made the process really easy by guiding through the entire project. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get a top quality website made.

Bryan B very helpful after the useless LiveChat. Tenth word.

The servers are running smoothly with no noticeable downtime or performance issues.

Media Fortress helped us revamp our old dusty website. Communication was great, sound advice and the results are awesome! Thanks Steve.

Rock solid reliable. Easy to use, yet versatile. Globally accessible (unlike some which are blocked in China). Excellent tech support.

had my server moved from some other hopeless company and they made it all so easy I cannot be happier or thank them enough. Do yourself a favour .. if you are unhappy with your provider ..go to Cloudloop !

Absolutely rubbish , beyond disappointing and very frustrating. They have directly cost us over $12000 in invoices that weren't delivered. We had… Read more

been with crazy domains for over 10 years then we had no choice but to migrate to voiden. Since day 1 its been nothing but Absolute hell !!! Emails that we have been receiving no problem for 10+ years now get quarantined and no notification of them being quarantined.

The support staff are absolutely usleas, rhey keep asking for more money to throw at the problem and it does nothing. We pay close to $2000 a year for their hosting and its been nothing but a joke.

Now we arent receiving our rent invoices, same problem. Either quarantined and not notified or the email bounces back to sender.

Its incredibly unprofessional for me to chase up our customers for emails they have sent already 3 and 5 times because of no fault of my own.

This company is directly affecting my business and I would avoid them at all costs. Let alone the exorbitantly over priced fee they charge.

0/10

Excellent, responsive support, extremely capable and flexible - great to work with.

Dishonest prices and service offerings When looking at their packages, they include certain security and SEO plugin as "free". But when you go to… Read more

checkout, the security features are not included as must be purchased as an "add-on". And the SEO plugin is free for 1 month, then automatically becomes a paid add-on. I called their sales team and reported the issue, and even offered to share the screenshots of the dishonest marketing and checkout. Their sales team told me there was nothing they could do about it, but would report the issue. So I waited a week and went back - same dishonest prices and service offerings. Took screenshots again. Very dishonest marketing - do not trust them, keep records.

Very very poor and slow support. Expensive pricing. Average technology and user interfaces. I would not use them again.

lost data to restore service after outage. Last 6 month emails from panthur email server are marked by spamaus for spam resulting in emails to outlook, gmail and hotmail being blocked. Paid 12mth upfront for server and used 2 months and they refused to refund. Support takes days at times to repsond. Do your self a favour and go elsewhere.

I wish I had looked at more reviews. This is the worst internet company of any sort I have had the displeasure of dealing with. 1. They claim… Read more

domain names are moved in 5-7 days but after 12 days my domains are still "pending". I cannot cancel the order or move them anywhere else.

2. They claim 24 7 support. In my opinion this is a lie. They have a picture of a phone but you can only raise a ticket or a chat. Using the chat will not get you to a person but only the offer of an email - which you will never get. Raising a ticket gets you a glib response and told to check the FAQs.

I am now still stuck waiting for these people to finish the transfers so I can go somewhere else.

I can only suggest you go anywhere else.

This is the worst web hosting company I have ever experienced. Their web hosting and email hosting has gone down twice in twelve months. What hosting… Read more

company even does that ?? Their 'Live Status Page' is a complete fraud. Their page reports everything operational, zero problems reported, yet, 4 of my sites are down, and on hold for 40+ minutes waiting for tech support, so clearly it's not just our site. And finally, they did a back end server migration a few months ago and destroyed our IMAP email server, requiring it to be manually rebuilt and emails from archives to be restored. This took days and many many messages. Avoid this company if you need a reliable, honest company..... (Still waiting on hold, still no email / web hosting, their status page still says all operational, no fault reports.........
