to this review here We are encountering mind boggling experience with Hostway, terrible. Received two weeks ago message of their 'Abuse Department' that two of our databases were over limit. Responded immediately that we would move to our dedicated server, also via them. Then, without any notice, they removed all our databases, containing latest planning data of our customers. Since then, we have been on the phone with them for hours and they respond that we 'need to be patient'. However, they just do nothing, do not respond on emails, and even cut us off on telephone. What a terrible company!
Please see below some of the communication:
