I accidentally deleted my entire website (my fault), and my backups weren't working properly, but they managed to provide a backup and support within ...
record time. Saved me from a panic attack. Truly appreciate that! Some cons: a bit slower than my previous BlueHost, but definitely far less expensive. Also uses the latest MySQL on VPS only, not shared hosting.
Made a mistake and it was resolved quickly and efficiently in a matter of minutes. The solution went beyond what was expected.
I will recommend this...
company to anyone wanting to host a website. They are one of the cheapest and friendliness around.
Over the last year, the service from Arvixe has been horrendous. There have been server outages that have lasted from hours to almost a week. Technica...
l Support staff is incompetent. Additionally, they do not read the messages that one sends in chat. As for generating a trouble ticket, I generated a trouble ticket on Dec. 30, 2022 at 8:30am Central Time. They did not respond until January 3, 2023 at 9:05am stating there was no problem. Well. NO SH*T, Sherlock. The server reappeared sometime after 21:00 on Saturday, December 31, 2022. Even though the server shared057.arvixe.com died sometime on December 29. There are no reports that anything was wrong with the server. Plus, Arvixe raises their rates every year once you are stupid enough to purchase a service. Things were good in 2015, yet the service and support has rapidly declined since 2019. At one time, I hosted 10 domains on Arvixe. Because of poor service I moved them to another hosting service. Will move the last three this month.

tworthy company, but with the current mailbox fiasco, I am no longer sure.
Last year, at Gandi's instigation ("We strongly encourage you to renew your domains before February 1, 2023 in order to benefit from the current rates for as long as the registration period allows.") I renewed my .net domain for 9 years. This registration included two mailboxes, as advertised in big letters on the website at the time (e.g., "Each domain name purchased at Gandi includes 2 email mailboxes").
In June 2023, Gandi announced their new, improved mailbox offering with increased prices. Deep down in this email they briefly mention that the existing mailbox service will end in November.
Any decent company would move their existing customers with running contracts to the new service, or keep the old service running: these customers have been promised two mailboxes, and they should still be offered two mailboxes until their current contract ends. You do not raise prices or remove services from existing contracts, you wait until it is time to renew.
Not so Gandi: for existing contracts such as mine, the mailboxes are to be removed in November this year, even if the contract has many years left. They offer no alternative and no compensation.
Instead, the customer service provides a close reading of the terms and conditions in an attempt to argue that the promises made on the website do not actually have to be kept. For example, they argue: the mailboxes, once prominently featured on the website as one of the benefits of registering your domain with Gandi, are actually "not part of the registration" after all, but were a "free" extra service that can be removed as Gandi sees fit. Laughable if it weren't sad.
I am very disappointed to see that Gandi tries to use the fine print in their terms and conditions to wriggle out of earlier promises. See similar comments on this site and elsewhere: a complete disregard for existing commitments.
Gandi used to be a decent company and the support is still friendly, but if this is not resolved correctly, I would discourage anyone from doing business with them.
