You can find better

Oct 10 2012

These people are below average but they aren't horrible. I'm going to stay for a while and see if it improves.

Well, I don't think I can recommend them, there is too much inconsistency within the business. I am doing okay but there have been some ups and downs here.

Not the best place

You might want to keep looking if you are searching around for a host. There are better hosts available.

I have been here a while, am considering a change, but there have been glimmers of change so am hoping that will happen soon. Do watch them on your billing.

bait and switch??

Aug 20 2012

i signed up with the tag sayong it was only around $5. Really it then ended up to be around 10 times that amount. They seem to be experts at getting you confused and adding on one charge after another.

It's like needing a car to carry an enoepvle down the block the least car you can buy is one that can carry 4 people on the interstate.There are at least a hundred web hosts that have plans that are under $ 5/month many of they that have been in business for years, so they're not likely to disappear on you. There are also hundreds of opinions here on Yahoo Answers posted by people who like or hate their own hosting company, with reasons. Read them and make your own choice, based on information you're gotten from others' experience.

Move on

Aug 16 2012

This is not the place to be right now, so if you are looking keep looking. Future times may be better, I hope they can get back to where they were.

I would look elsewhere if I were you, I'm considering moving business elsewhere if things don't improve. But they have handled it all before, not sure why this is going on now.

mediocre features

Jul 11 2012

I liked the fact that globat was green. It is basically user friendly. The feature set is pretty mediocre though. At least I was always able to take advantage of the 24/7 assitance.

Watch

Jul 16 2012

They've been ok for me but I am keeping a close watch on everything. My time has been better I think than some others so they may be turning a corner on some of their problems.

There have been some struggles here but they are mostly doing okay, I am keeping an eye on things and haven't had anything terrible like other reviewers. So you might take a look.....

Watch Your Credit Card

Jun 22 2012

Globat tried to automatically upgrade me over ten times within a year. I've emailed as well as talked to their customer service on many occasions to stop, but they continued to try to automatically upgrade me. At last, I went to another ISP.

Billing problems

Jun 16 2012

The billing problems just go on and on. They have shut down my sites because of this. It was cheap and I thought it was a super deal. It was not because of too many issues. This has been going on for quite a few years. It is long enough.
Time to switch.

Hesitant recommendation

Jun 15 2012

Working with glob@t has been okay so far, they have their ups and downs but mostly seem to really be trying to make it better. I am pleased with the support teams efforts but could be happier with some of the traffic issues but it's not so negative I would leave.
