  • I've Switched From Addr.com to Cedant.com for My Web Hosting Needs!!

    Aug 15 '01
    Pros: Easy to use Administrative Menus. Inexpensive. Easy uploading.
    Cons: Went down "once"

    Summary: After using addr.com for a year, I finally gave up. I had to get a new host for my sites. So, after a month of research on Epinions, talking with other web masters, and searching the Web, I finally found a web host that I wanted to be ... read more

  • Avoid at all costs, horrible host!

    Aug 03 '07
    Pros: Used to offer good service, like a year ago!
    Cons: None at all! Go elsewhere!

    Summary: Worked with Cedant for over 5 years. They used to offer good service at a reasonable price. I don't know what happened to them but they have become extremely horrible! I went out of my way to try to get them to address the poor service but was just ... read more

  • To Cedant, the customer is always wrong!

    Sep 01 '06
    Pros: Lots of space for very little money
    Cons: Everything else

    Summary: The service is unreliable, it's always going out. The billing is confusing, and they're always making mistakes, but they never admit they're wrong. They make the smallest tasks, like adding a new domain to your account, extremely complicated. Their ... read more

  • pretty good -- mostly happy

    Jan 16 '05
    Pros: solid performer, responsive, reasonable value
    Cons: some small weirdnesses (detailed in body of review)

    Summary: I have been with Cedant as webhost from 2001 until present (2005). This includes going through the platform changeover in mid 2002 which was not so bad for me. No biggie since then. I am mostly happy with them. Things I like: ssh, ssi, cgi, ... read more

  • There'll Be Some Changes Made

    Feb 07 '04
    Pros: front page extensions, decent value for money at time I signed up
    Cons: reliability, technical support, features no longer competitive

    Summary: I've used Cedant Hosting Solutions for several years, both for my current web site, www.jazzobsession.com, and for another web site that I sold. I thought that they had an acceptable "value proposition" - in other words how much bandwidth and storage ... read more

  • So-so hosting company I recently left

    Mar 25 '03
    Pros: Quick/responsive tech support, PHP4 MySQL, image resizer, SquirrelMail webmail client,
    Cons: Frequent outages, poor admin console

    Summary: If you're looking for a very solid hosting company, especially one that supports PHP and MySQL, look somewhere else. After 2 years with Cedant, I finally managed to switch off. My reasons for leaving were mainly: - constant email outages - poorly ... read more

  • Don't give them your money

    Dec 27 '02
    Pros: Every other company you deal with will seem pleasant and competent by comparison.
    Cons: Everything: A collapsing ISP dying under the weight of its own ineptitude.

    Summary: I originally signed up for Cedant due to their high reviews here on Epinions. For the first 15 months, everything was great - customer service was good, the technical tools were nice and the service was flawless. Then the dark times began in June 2002. ... read more

  • Avoid Cedant

    Nov 27 '02
    Pros: None.
    Cons: Mail servers are down for days each week. Their email service are utterly unreliable.

    Summary: I chose Cedant because they were priced right and they had good reviews on Epinions. What a mistake. Although they were quick to get me going and helpful getting my site live, the warm and fuzzy feelings ended almost immediately. I have been ... read more

  • A Good Web Host Gone Bad

    Nov 26 '02
    Pros: Inexpensive, reliable Web hosting, responsive customer service
    Cons: HORRIBLE email hosting

    Summary: Like many of the other disgruntled reviewers of Cedant, I signed up based on the positive eopinions reviews posted earlier. Unfortunately, very soon after I became a Cedant customer, the dreaded "upgrade" other reviewers have mentioned occurred. While ... read more

    Cons: No complaints!

  • Going downhill fast

    Oct 22 '02
    Pros: Cheap
    Cons: Email is ALWAYS down and they have a habit of switching things around without warning

    Summary: I've been with Cedant for three or four years now. They're support was never the best, but I thought hey, I'm saving a bit of money and things hardly ever go wrong, so I can stand the fact that it's a bit difficult to get someone on the phone ... read more

  • Thumbs down

    Aug 23 '02
    Pros: Nice control panel. Pretty responsive support.
    Cons: Switched servers from Linux to Solaris without notice.

    Summary: Cedant switched from Linux to Solaris without any notification whatsoever (well, they said they were switching servers, but failed to mention the OS). This is a cardinal sin IMHO. It broke my scripts (which I had to discover the hard way), and cost me ... read more

    Pros: not recommended
    Cons: Avoid

    Summary: This company has a lot a problems. They bill you twice for the same time taking money from my credit card on different dates or billing for three months in advance without my knowledge and my permission. Problems one after another started on May ... read more

  • HELLO GOODBYE. I'm out of here!!!!!!!!!!

    Aug 07 '02
    Pros: CHEAP..... You get what you pay for
    Cons: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

    Summary: Cedant was once rated as one of the best buys in the web hosting category. "They have fallen and they can't get up." I have found that my site always has a snag somewhere along the line and I may need advice on how to FIX the problem. A little ... read more

  • Cedant Web Hosting quality is going down

    Jul 25 '02
    Pros: Affordable. Good support via email.
    Cons: Human beings do not answer the telephone.

    Summary: I had a hosting reseller account with Cedant for about two years and had few problems until "upgrades" took place approximately June, 2002. Without any notice or warning, they changed the IP addresses and directory (folder) structure for all my re-sold ... read more

  • It started good but went really bad

    Jul 18 '02
    Pros: fast setup, SSL directory
    Cons: they are blocking incoming emails

    Summary: In january 2002 I have switched my webpage for the Tropics Hotel to Cedant. I was happy about the easy and fast setup. I was also happy that my webpage was almost never down until they decided to make dramatic changes to their service. They have switched ... read more
