Technical problems at Web hosting firm C I Host cause 48,000 Internet addresses hosted by the company to become inaccessible.

CIHost Problems

I'm not surprised at this news report of problems with CI HOst. I am surprised there's no mention of CI host not paying to domain renewals, even though they were paid by their clients.

This happened to me. I was online when Network Solutions removed my domain name for non-payment (even though I'd paid CI host to renew in advance.)

It took me a week of frantic work to get my domain back. I was lucky, other CI host users lost their domains to an outfit in Russia that required a ransome to get them back.

I've been with CI host for 4 years. Today I cancelled. I've moved all my business to Godaddy.com. Much less expensive and guess what FTP works reliably, something CI host couldn't deliver in 6 months of tech email exchange.

Do yourself a favor... look elswhere for a webhost!

ps. I just faxed in my CI host cancellation. God knows if I can get rid of them. I'm paid through April, but they probably want a 'disconnect fee'.

CI HOST IS FRAUDULENT

We were supposed to drop off our server to CI HOST on the 30th, but the datacenter told us about the problem.

They advertise "Full Money Back Guarantee", but they refuse to refund all our money. They also double billed us. So not only did they take 200% of the invoice amount, they now say they deduct fees from their Full Money Back Guarantee.

CI Host is the worst we have experienced in this business, and they are obviously a fraudulent company.

BE AWARE!!! DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH CI HOST!!!

I remember seeing cihost offering cogent free bandwidth hosting while every data center they had was using cogent bandwidth, they are the biggest fraud in the indsutry.
