Cartikahosting.com review, rating and complaint

[review]

This is a review for Cartikahosting.com. After trying out their services, here is our reviews, ratings, compliments and complaint and complaints.
Overall Cartikahosting.com was disappointing and does not live up to our standards of what we consider valuable, long term services and quality servers. Their servers are known to have many problems in the past. We believe they might fix these issue however a more serious problem is the company itself. The company is known to overbill customers for bandwidth use and storage claims. Cartikahosting will not let you forward your emails to an email such as hotmail, gmail or any third party email if you have multiple domain hosting. They claim it violates their TOS however after reading their TOS this is false and we can only conclude it is to force the client to increase their bandwidth thus increasing the client's cost. Cartikahosting is also known to push claim on their clients that they are overusing resources and abusing their TOS to get the client to upgrade their account. If the client does not upgrade Cartikahosting will immediately suspend the client's account. This could cause the client to lose their customers and sales. Here is our final rating and review of Cartikahosting.com.

1. Cartikahosting long term prospects - Poor
2. Cartikahosting Billing and Pricing - Poor
3. Cartikahosting Customer Service - Average
4. Cartikahosting Server uptime - Poor - Average
5. Cartikahosting Control Panel - Very Good (Hsphere)
6. Cartikahosting Overall Rating - Poor - Average

Cartikahosting.com in comparison to other similar web hosting companies is NOT recommended.

We have also noticed that most of their positive reviews are written themselves and take off negative reviews on their own run review website. We have tried to enter our review but it was taken off the next day. We recommend not to trust the following reviews about Cartikahosting as it is misleading to customers. Any review website name with the word cartika including
www.hostjury.com, www.whreviews.com/cartikahosting.htm, www.webhostingtalk.com., are all run by Cartikahosting.com. We find this misleading to clients who want to hear true reviews of the company rather than self advertising of their own company.

I had purchased an account from them for a short time. I didn't have a bad experience, but the Hsphere was difficult to pick up.

Beware of Cartikahosting self posting bragging about themselves such as "cartika hosting rocks". The company is continually having problems and issues. Cartikahosting will try to force you to upgrade otherwise they will suspend your account. You cannot do business with this kind of unethical server company. After our recent negative posts and reviews about Cartikahosting, a few people of their very few clients signed up had also complained to us about the bad services at Cartikahosting. Some have said Cartikahosting tried to force them to upgrade. Some said that the servers had trouble and stalled.

For further research you can check other webhosting reviews and make comparisons.

Compare with http://www.webhosting.info/webhosts/reports/total_domains/hostgator.com

Here you can see a more reputable company called hostgator.com which has an increase of clients signing up which is a good sign versus Cartika hosting which is in a reverse trend losing customers. Just beware and be careful.

Here is my 3 month cartikahosting.com review. The first month was okay but we kepts having continual problems with their control panel and also their server went down a few times. It appears it has to do with viruses on their server. After the 2nd and 3rd month, everything just went down from there. Then after we had made a few complaints about their server performance, Cartikahosting billed us for over use of their servers. We asked for proof but they said we must just trust their server statistics. We checked third party monitors and did not find our bandwidth to be anywhere near the limits. Not even a 10th of their limits of bandwidth. Our web space was under the limits. So where was this extra billing coming from? Apparently the company was not happy that we complained about their server downtime and control panel problems and thus tried to over bill us. For what reason? You can make the conclusions. After our 3 month review of cartikahosting, we have immediately left this company for a better hosting company and at least more honest.

hmm, if without proof or verification, it is still not convincing,
it is better to show some of the evidence for reference.

recently there is so much these kind of post at here saying Host A scam or Host B always down etc....

[TSO]

Indeed. These posters are all new and could easily be paid by a competitor who sees Cartika Hosting's success as a threat. This thread is very fishy to me!

i agree with TSO.

all the options at above is just bad review options, there is not option to say they are good.

...www.hostjury.com (http://www.hostjury.com), www.whreviews.com/cartikahosting.htm (http://www.whreviews.com/cartikahosting.htm), www.webhostingtalk.com (http://www.webhostingtalk.com)., are all run by Cartikahosting.com.

Where is your proof cartikahosting.com runs the above entities?

I care to differ with your assumption on who runs the sites you listed.

Hostjury.com is owned by David Mckendrick which is hosted by Fused Network.

Whreviews.com is owned by Dan Lemnaru (his web name is Idcdc) which is hosted by Hostgator.

Webhostingtalk.com is owned by iNet Interactive which is hosted by RackSpace.

i agree with TSO.

I know moderators on the WHT ask for the domain name hosted with certain company. And if OP provided this information to the moderators here I'm certain that review is verified.
And I think any company can't have good reviews only
