Heavenly hosting?

Advantages: Good packages, some nice add-ons, options to suit most people, easy set-up
Disadvantages: Can work out expensive, sometimes confusing

I run a small website to do with 8-bit retrogaming, but recently the additions of the archives have gone above the 50Mb limit that the previous hosts, Lycos, imposed and the only way around it was to split the site into 4 (the site has around 180Mb of archives). This would have been messy and required a lot of work so I decided that as I had the domain registered I may as well get some decent hosting to boot. I had a look at a few hosts (including ...
...and finally settled on WebFusion as they're part of Pipex and I have Pipex as my ISP.

They have several accounts to choose from that start at an entry account (£7.95 per month *excluding* VAT) and going up to a business account (£19.99 ex VAT). The key here was choosing which account was needed.

Before I go any further then I'll give you a bit of advice. Read the specifications of the packages, but also consider free ... more

Webfusion - AVOID at all costs

Advantages: Comedy value? But it wears off quickly
Disadvantages: Countless

Webfusion are an awful, awful web hosting company. I'll explain exactly why in the hope that you won't ever make the mistake of using them to host any of your websites or websites for other people. COST Well, if they were any good then their fees might be worth paying, but they're a crock of brown otters so their fees are *NOT* worth paying. They charge you not only for domains and hosting but also for some mysterious thing called "mapping a domain ...
...year (quite a lot if youhave a lot of sites). No other provider I'm aware of has a bizarre scheme like that. SERVER AVAILABILITY Webfusion make considerable boasts about being attached to a Tier 1 network (in layman's terms, that means they're on the network equivalent of a motorway). Unfortunately in their case they're stuck on the M25 at rush hour- except this rush hour is permanent. Sites are slow to load, and sometimes time out. Email is slow ...

Webfusion Hosting by Pipex!

Advantages: Quite a variety of packagess. All the most used features as standard.
Disadvantages: They should make a cheaper package with less bandwidth/space for lower hit sites.

A friend of mine asked me to make them a website for a gaming clan he was starting, and since I had basic HTML knowledge offered me a few quid to make a basic website. So with the proposition of making some money I got right on it. The first problem I encountered was that there are no free hosting companies that offer decent bandwidth and space with NO adverts. The second problem was no free hosting companies provide SQL databases. So with these ...
...He replied with, "well what's the cheapest company with all the features we need?" And with this in mind I set out again to find the answer. After searching for a long time I came across Webfusion. They offered everything I needed, and were very reasonable. The package I chose to start with was the Linux Home package. This offers: 1500MB space, 10GB data transfer, FTP access, RealAudio Support, MP3 Support, FrontPage extensions, 500 POP3 email ...

Definitely worth a look

Advantages: Ease and speed of set up, simplicity of use
Disadvantages: phone support is not clearly indicated

I've been using WebFusion for about 2 years now, both for my company site and also for clients sites I have designed. All in all, I have to say I'm very impressed with the service although I can accept that some people will view their packages as slightly more expensive than the equivalent offerings from other hosting companies. The crucial point here is "equivalent" - There are so many hosting companies offering so many different packages at so ...
...compare prices. This is doubly hard if you are new to the world of Web Hosting and, try as they might, even the mighty WebFusion don't really go far enough in simplifying the process for beginners. PRICING ******* The basic WebFusion offerings increase in price according to the extra functionality included. It's relatively easy to browse through the details on their site - working from the cheapest upwards - until you find a package that includes ...

WEBFUSION - STEER WELL CLEAR - BE WARNED

Advantages: CAN;T THINK OF ANY
Disadvantages: TAKE MY ADVISE FORGET WEBFUSION

To leave webfusion is not easy in my opinion. Read Webfusion terms and conditions carefully if you are thinking of signing up ( personally and in my opinion I would not advise it). They could get very forceful and include the use of debt recovery and addition charges if you don’t toe the line. A 30 day cancellation policy is enforced harshly even if you write in a letter of complaint they will still threaten if not take debt recovery action against ...
...letter. It seems in my opinion that subscripton to Webfusion is easy and takes just a few minutes online but when you want to leave faithfully you must expect it to take 30 days minimum. If that time period runs over the 30 days to expiration you become liable for resubscription no iffs or buts. Be warned. SERIOUSLY UNFAIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS ...

Quick review of webfusion.co.uk

Absolutely terrible! Not sure what else I can say. The support is virtually non existent and once you log a support call there is no way of tracking the problem other than phoning up and been put on hold for 20 minutes. Once the problem is finally resolved they dont even tell you. The VPS's are shoddy and the amount of dedicated memory is very suspicious. Mine has gone down today and I've been told that hopefully it might be up and running sometime tomorrow. Avoid this lot at all costs. ...
