Pros: Price, Features for the dollar.
Cons: Highly unreliable, technical support brushes off problems with no attention to resolving clear server-side issues.
Summary: Where do I start? I signed up for Netfirms early in 2006 when I decided to move my personal blog from a free site to a Wordpress installation. In addition, I started a small phpBB forum for a local community group that needed somewhere online to ... read more

Pros: Easy sign-up. Mostly acceptable performance.
Cons: Technical support utterly fails to deal with Netfirms' own problems.
Summary: Needed a web hosting company for a new family memorial site: 8 pages, 26 MB static HTML at first, 139 MB of traffic over the first month. Those who wish to see the nature of this site that Netfirms could not successfully host may inspect it at: ... read more

Pros: Cost is good for features.
Cons: Service is suboptimal. Limited .NET functionality only. Not all commands supported.
Summary: My website was fine, then, with no change from my end, simply was inaccessible. There were "server dropped connection" errors. The 24/7 support, as they call it, was not helpful. The only response was "we are working on it, thank you for your patience." ... read more

Pros: Registrar for .ca domains
Cons: Terrible site performance, including frequent outages. Poor technical support. Lacking support for key WordPress features.

Pros: friendly and knowledgable support (and free), everything included (all-in-one package)
Cons: WordPress was a 'bit' tricky, but easy enough to figure out

Pros: Low price (but don't be fooled - the price doubles at first renewal)
Cons: Bad customer support, lack of some technical features that most registrars offer
Summary: A domain name I registered last year with Netfirms will expire on June/30/2006. About a week ago (that is, a month before its expiry date), they sent me an e-mail reminding me that it was about to expire and would be renewed automatically by them. As ... read more

Pros: Absolutely none
Cons: Terrible uptime record.
No response to support tickets
Phone support is a joke.

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: terrible webmail, support doesn't always resolve issues,
Summary: Signed up with Netfirms to do a site for a non-profit agency I work for. The price seemed right, and it had to be better than what we previously had. Yes it was better, but not by much. Very slow page loading for our site as well as Netfirms control

Pros: quick to start up and run a domain name.
Cons: customer support/service is terrible, company has poor character.
Summary: They offer cheap service for the first year. They have automatic renewal in place, which is a sneaky way of obtaining money. Especially since, they don't allow you to cancel your account over the phone. Come on, I mean I can bank over the phone, and
