Any others using HostZpresso

11 replies
Signed up with HostZPresso. Always been leery about pay me once web hosting, but a long time marketer that I trust(ed) said they were rock solid.

Right off, out the gate ran into them setting me up with 1 gig of space and 1 gig of bandwidth when sales page clearly stated unlimited.

They fixed that after couple of days.

Now the domains that I moved there are all down. I use CloudFlare on all my domains, so people are getting the dreaded 522 message:



They have yet to respond to tickets submitted via their control panel. Finally found their help desk and at least got reply. But now instead of having bandwidth issues, I got all domains down.

Any others here have any experience to share about HostZpresso? I am truly hoping my experience so far is unique and others are so happy, they kissed their dog a extra time

    Thanks for the warning.

    If I were you I would find another hosting service.

    ASAP.

      Not using them as my main hosting, have a few VPS and small dedicated for my main line hosting. Moved 10 domains that I do not worry about over to them as test

      Just wondering if anyone else having better luck than I with HostZPresso. Sure did not expect much from them and fist time trying a one time fee hosting offer.

    That's good you were just testing, it saves a lot of
    grief.

    You can usually tell when businesses are desperate.
    They were probably having a fire sale in anticipation
    of their flameout.

    I cannot speak for people here but they are a pretty
    smart bunch, I doubt if many of them would fall for
    a one time fee for a lifetime deal, especially not for
    hosting.

    Whoever assured you about this company is a fool.

      Not sure how to take that, but will let it slide off like rain

      Been around here since 2008 and been around the block longer than that.

      Anyway, thanks for the input.

    I was not trying to insult you and I apologize
    if you felt that way.

    You knew something was off, that's why you
    only put a couple of domains/websites over
    there to be hosted.

    Have you asked them for a refund?

    Yea, no problem - guess I took ya wrong.

    Not asking for a refund at the moment, still got some days left plus it was sold on WarriorPlus so good backing.

    Wanting to hear from other fools that might have given it a try, lol

    Not necessarily - you do know WarriorPlus is not associated in any way with Warrior Forum...right? I think there are still members from way back when who remember the old connection - but it's no longer the case.


    Only way to know if a product is something you want to use - is to try it. Thanks for sharing your experience here.

      Hi Kay!

      Yes, I know that W+ is no longer associated with WF. Been here long enough to remember the "old days". Created a profile way back at start of WF and later wanted to change username to my real name. For some reason it could not be done so Allen told me to create a new profile in 2008 if I wanted to use real name. Heck, I can't even remember back then clearly, in 60's now and can't remember what I ate yesterday, lol

      Anyway, I figured be nice to see what others here thought about HostZPresso. Looking like there were not many takers here at WF. According to W+, there are 2K+ sales with a less than 5% refund rate. Not bad.

      I hope the glitch I am running into is unique and not going to be a constant repeat performance I have a ton of domains with HTML only content, figured would park them all there for time being. Like you said, got to try something if you want first hand experience with it.

    I will add that things are starting to work better. Most of issues I was having are being taken care of by support. Maybe growing pains and launch had them behind.

    At this point I am happy with HostZPresso, but time will tell if this one time fee host survives.

    We all know lifetime has a different value for each of us...

    I have HostZpresso and I can say for a fact that ProfitHub is working much better. I got the pro version.

    Forget HostZpresso! They are the worst host I have ever experienced. Heck, I have had better luck years ago with free hosting. 20 years ago I tried one of the free host and it was better, lol

    Did not expect much from a "pay once for lifetime hosting", but HostZpress is a joke.
