During a recent outage (they seem to occur at Bizland every now and again ) I found that my domain was being redirected to a spammy looking sedo parking page with sponsered ads on it. The most disturbing aspect about all of this is that an unsuspecting user landing on this page would automatically assume that my site did not exist any longer, as my domain name was visible in the browser address bar.
I mangaged to contact Support using their livechat asking them why this was occuring and was given a series of canned responses in an attempt by them to skirt around the issue. Finally they told me that they couldn't change the redirect and brushed me off.

I am so glad I found your site! Someone wrote that Bizland only makes changes in the wee hours of the morning. Well, that's not true anymore. They were going to do an "upgrade" to SiteDeluxe Monday morning and it's now Tuesday night and I still can't access SiteDelux. Someone else wrote "they lie." They sure do! I have one website hosted by them that was written in Dreamweaver and uses MySQL and php. Those functions weren't working and Bizland techs (several!) told me the problem was with my program. Finally talked to a tech who said that for the past 2 weeks had been upgrading their hardware. He said the problem was with Bizland, not my program. It irks me to no end when you contact them via Live Chat, you write your whole question/problem down and they take one word out of it and give you the answer for that, even though it has NOTHING to do with the problem. Oh, I could go on and on, but why bother? I have wasted enough time with Bizland. I am going to switch to a different host once I decide on one. Thanks again for having this site. I was really at a loss where to start to find a new host.

I don't say this lightly. I say it after using them for many years, having a reseller account with them, having tried their support at different times on different days, having spoken with several first level technical support staff, several "manager", "customer services managers" and people seemingly in authority.
First, the good bits: their phone lines do work and you can get through fairly quickly. And, well.... that's about it!
First line staff are completely useless. One instance: I bought a site and wanted them to apply to the registrar for the transfer. Typically, they'd contact the registrar who'd contact the admin contact they have on record for the site, and when the admin contact/owner approves the transfer the site is "handed over". Bizland's first line staff refused to accept this and have their own weird interpretation of how it worked. So, I spoke to another one, and another one. And to a supervisor. And to a manager who finally recognised that not one of the staff knew how it actually worked!
And they lie. Not just first line staff, but superivors as well. A particular "Troy", "Darrell" and "Patricia" are names you want to watch out for. They say that they record calls but they won't play them back to you. So they can give you any old rubbish over the phone and say, "But you are the one who asked for that!".
AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS

I have been with bizland for 3 years and use their Trellix site builder to build all my sites there as I'm too lazy to learn html. ;-)
There have been a few times when they were slow, not often. I've never known them to be down without prior notice of having to update their site, which is always done in the wee hours and rarely happens at all. With one exception of some rude woman who answered their phone once, their phone support team is friendly and helpful, but they don't know much at all about the Trellix program - which I find odd.
Overall however, I WOULD reccommend their service mainly do to low cost, up time, and LIVE phone support!

I run a simple cgi based forum website. For the past several months, I have nothing but troubles at bizland. My users are getting script errors, connection errors and various other errors. When you email tech support, they say they can see the site with no problems.

although I'm a relative novice to the whole webpage world, I can safely tell you that Bizland is absolutely the worst company I've ever dealt with - their server recently crashed, destroying my entire website - 100's of hours of work gone - no compensation, no apologies - (i learned the hard way that you have to back everything up...my fault) - i actually had a supervisor tell me that I'm responsible for the destruction of my site -???- their customer service is horrid - expect to wait at least 30 min. to an hour everytime you contact them - i can't say enough about how awful this whole experience was - i was lied to multiple times and generally given the run-around - stay away from them at all costs

Have never had much in the way of a problem with Bizland. The only headache I've had was the new e-mail client.
