I have been using Globat.com for my hosting for a few months and between my own account and clients accounts, we have about 25 hosting plans with Globat. I recently installed new software for my dating site, only to find that Globat doesn't allow cron jobs and I now have over 200 emails backed up in the system.
I contacted globat immediately and arranged to have my domain moved to a new host, Globat assured me that the transition would be complete within 24 - 48 hours. When the 48 hours had passed, I checked with Whois and the domain still hadn't been transferred, I contacted Globat by email on 5 subsequent occasions and they didn't reply so I decided to use their live chat facility. Admittedly, their support staff were as helpful as they could be, but they told me that the matter hadn't been addressed and that at the very earliest, it would be looked into after the weekend.
Is this the way a top level company is supposed to conduct itself? I signed up for my hosting with them on a weekend and there was no problem setting up the DNS then, so why would there be a problem now?
I suggest that people should find out exactly what they are getting when they sign up for hosting with Globat and in particular, they should read Globat's user aggreement, as it basically absolves them of any and all responsibility towards their clients.
When I signed up with Globat, they advertised their servers as having 99.9% uptime, this wasn't the case, within the first few weeks, their servers were down on at least 4 occasions and have been down on numerous occasions since, but If after the initial 30 day period, you realise, as I did, that their servers are overloaded, slow and frequently down, you will discover that you have no recourse, in fact, if you then decide to move your hosting to a new company, Globat state that they will charge you $150 and hold you in breach of contract.
I think people should be aware of this prior to signing up with Globat and needless to say, when my own and my clients accounts with them have expired, we will be moving to a less unscrupulous hosting company.
