Latest positive review | I have 4 years of using it and works perfect, support works, uptime works, they give me whm, etc... | I was looking for the best hosting company in China, and I think I found it. English is my first language, so I was glad to see that their site could be easily translated into English. They even did a good job with the tran... More slation. The one problem I have with this site is that they don't list their prices right away. This is why they got only three stars in that section. The actual prices are fair, but I wanted to be able to see them more easily. Now that I'm signed up and working with them for about 6 months, I have no complaints. They work well all the time and keep my site running smoothly without interruption. Less |
Latest negative review | I asked to have an upgrade of Python so that I could installed Django and it was denied. Their shared server has Python 2.7, and Python 3 was denied to be installed, which has been the standard version for many years (you are... More give a jail shell that restricts most installation). Their basic plan is way too restrictive. You have to get a non-shared server to get any serious work done there and pay lots of money. There is also no way to stop a payment once the invoice is done six weeks in advance. Turning off automatic payment does nothing once the invoice is done and there is no way to remove a credit card once added to do payments. Less | Looks like their website doesn't properly function. I couldn't check domain names, trying several times with different browsers. I definitely dont wont my website to be kept on their servers. On submission of this form :which... More service did you use with hichina" you cant even choose anything else except "I dont know". I think it is not correct at all. Less |
