If you want to run a reliable server without emptying your wallet, online.net is the place to be. I don't understand where all these negative reviews come from. Might be from the competition, who knows. People that complain t...

hat they had to wait 24 hours before their server got rebooted are clueless. Even when you can't authenticate on your server, you can still reboot it or shut it down and later start it back up from the admin webinterface provided by online.net ... so why would you wait x minutes ?!?
In 30-60 minutes it is re-installed with the OS of your choice and restore your data from backup. The times that I had to contact support was with questions about billing. I received an answer an hour or two later. Even when the question was asked at 22:00 hours CET ! In short I highly recommend online.net ! Less |

as empty. I had a local backup and moved it to a new host in mid February. I tried to cancel Site 5 by unchecking the autorenewal option on the credit card. My next 3 year term starts on March 18. On March 1, I noticed they had charged my account for the renewal despite it not being set for auto renew. I told them to reverse the charge but they said they couldn't since it was an autorenewal account. (which it wasn't) - They then deleted all support tickets that showed that I had told them not to renew the site, and reverse the charge ASAP. I'm currently disputing this charge but apparently I'm not the only one that they are trying to scam. Do yourself a favor and get out before it deteriorates any further, and make sure you have a local backup!

Multiple scam and spam originating from these guys on a daily basis. The scammers are just making up domains and these guys just let them go and do nothing about it.
