We had Ubiquity for two years with no major problems. Last October, however, they "accidentally deleted" our VPS, costing us thousands in down time and lost data. On top of that, in January they decided to charge us for the three previous months of unused service. No uptime percentage or amount of service can make up for a mistake like that.

Hi *
I'm a software developer and was lured to use Ubiquity Hosting because they offered mono and SSH access. Since I started using their servers my clients reported broken mail delivery, long access times and fairly often complete dead server problems.
I've never written a review but these guys really got me ticked off with their dumb answers when you ask them to check something. They always throw it back to you, no matter how many people are telling them its on Ubiquity Hosting's end.
Arrogant and slightly retarded customer service that will tell you one fable after another as long as they can keep playing their xbox over there.
Don't use them and if you do; i told you so.

I've been with Ubiquity for a little over a month, and I've had a bunch of trouble trying to get an test application to work on their servers.
The support staff have been outstanding - they have helped diagnose the problems and have gone out of their way to help me get up and running. I've been with hosts who have said "the problem's in your code, not our problem", but Ubiquity have gone above and beyond. Highly recommended.

I'd read only good things about this company but their support is lacking, or maybe they only look after clients in the US. They'd never answer a call and my support tickets never seemed to turn up even though I got confirmation emails.
I would suggest looking else where if you need support and server uptime, they maybe fine for small websites or if you don't need to contact them often, but that's not what I'd paid for!

i have had my dedicated server with them since around september. they were very helpful with transferring my site, answering my questions, etc. however, recently i was experiencing some trouble with my site and we could not figure out what was going on and how to fix it. however, clint and corey stepped up to the plate for several days (probably felt like forever with me asking a ton of questions during the whole process) and pin pointed the problem and solved it for me. the whole time i felt like i was the only customer they had since they were so quick to help out and respond to my questions. however we know that i am not their only customer, but it is amazing to get the feeling that you are when an issue comes up.

I have to say these guys are about as good as I've found. Very fast and intelligent support team; lots of clever technology and yet to see even a moment of downtime. Highly recommended.

I've been spending my day writing good reviews for these guys because I'm so damned pleased with the way I've been treated. Living in a big city, I'm not used to people actually being helpful and it's an unexpected pleasure to find helpful people in the business world. Not only did they give me a welcome call when I signed up, but they assisted me on the phone to get me started in minutes. I only gave them a 9 for the price category because I'm a cheapskate (seriously), but it's as low and reasonable of a rate as most others. With around the clock support from people interested in helping me out, I'm willing to pay a few dollars extra rather than deal with the folks from the big wig companies who seem to get better and better at dodging my pleas for guidance.
Thanks again, Ubiquity!

after spending massive amounts of money getting a cluster setup, they didn't even give the Xeons paid for. then had the nerve to say it was what we'd paid for. 12 days before our account expired they changed the servers and still they didn't even server 150,000 page views.
terrible terrible servers. never ever do business with them!
They have terrible supprt as well, they constantly deleted support tickets and rarely answered their phone. not what you expect from over $7000 setup fee!
Ubiquity Hosting Solutions web hosting provider response:
We don't know what to say other than this is plainly slanderous attack made out of unrelated frustrations, which our corporate infrastructure-focused sister company (which this review is actually about) has presented stockpiles of evidence archived to prove.
The cluster arrangement was explained in detail via spreadsheet, Visio diagram, the signup package, in our billing system, and in every PDF invoice ever sent out to the customer. It was then verifiable to the customer via shell access had they ever any doubt.
The customer was not satisfied with the # of pageviews sent out by the clustered arrangement during their time with us, which is true, and refused to acknowledge the fact that they ran an image hosting website with hotlinking enabled, making the # of pageviews served a near irrelevant factor over raw hits (which for the record reached well over 10 million per day before beginning to strain). This was in spite of turning down our recommended solution plainly made in our initial spreadsheet proposal to instead use our cheapest potential environment to attempt hosting the site with.
In spite of heavy verbal abuse to our staff and being given the attention of hundreds of hours of our management's time, our staff supplied approximately $6,000 (2 months) provided free fully functioning clustered hosting service, simply because it outweighed the support costs inflicted on our team. This was two-fold - for the first month, our staff assisted in rewriting the customer's PHP script to behave properly in a clustered environment at no development costs to the customer, as they did not refuse the problem to be on their end - but instead insisted their script to be our responsibility and not theirs.
During the second courtesy month, a free upgrade from the E6600 platform to Xeon 5310 web devices was made as charity (an environment never listed in any proposal), simply to prove that the clustered environment would work correctly. It did, and for a full month, we did not receive a single support request, as our staff was now monitoring not only their hosting environment, but also the content of their website to monitor the behavior of their code- a service above and beyond the obligation of any host. Finally in the last days, we got our 3rd demand for free service (the first support request in over 30 days), implying that the Alexa graph showing their traffic skyrocketing higher than it had been before they had started with us was a fraud, and that our staff was lying when we said we had been checking several times a day. We were not, and we refused the 3rd free month. This is the only possible reason I can find for the customer claiming they were billed outside of their billing cycle, as the transaction records we have clearly exhibit otherwise.
