  • Great, if you don't need a lot of "help".

    Nov 06 '00
    Pros: Reliable, good value, "free" services available.
    Cons: Not the best customer service.

    Summary: ValueWeb offers several different web hosting packages from the most basic to super-heavy-duty: they are all quite competitively priced. In addition, they have a few "free" services (like web-based e-mail and a skeleton page) that ... read more

    May 05 '05
    Pros: reasonable telephone access to tech support and billing support for Frontpage Search Component
    Cons: limited bandwidth allowance 2nd rate email weak tech support hard line billing

    Summary: First, I should state that I'm not a professional internet techie. However, I have operated a website, that I created with Frontpage, for four years, and have used three different web hosts. I signed up for Valueweb's $24.95 per month shared hosting, ... read more

  • Very poor service

    May 08 '03
    Pros: Initial setup was easy.
    Cons: Very very poor technical support and customer service.

    Summary: I have been hosting with them for couple of months and everything was fine till I had a serious problem. Which was the first time I really called support. Anytime you call technical support, be prepared to be on hold for quite a while. If you have a ... read more

  • Dedicated Hosting-U get what u pay for

    May 08 '03
    Pros: price, features
    Cons: service and support

    Summary: As I type this, I'm on hold waiting for tech support... for the third time today. As of 245 PM, almost 2 hours of my day has been wasted doing this. My partner and I decided to go with ValueWeb due to their great price on dedicated hosting, ... read more

  • ValueWeb (and HostSave - same co.): Not customer oriented!

    Apr 18 '03
    Pros: They have telephones for customer support.
    Cons: Failure to help validate business legitimacy.

    Summary: I recently visited a site currently hosted with HostSave (same as ValueWeb) and, because it looked legitimate, I gave personal information to place an order (nothing financial though at this point). Well, nothing has happened - no confirmation of the ... read more

    Pros: None.
    Cons: They continued to charge my credit card after I cancelled my account.

    Summary: After being referred to this company by Register.com, I signed up for a Trial Account. Within the trial month, I cancelled my account, and received a Cancellation Number. ValueWeb decided to ignore this cancellation and charged my credit card. As before, ... read more

  • Going down

    Jan 21 '03
    Pros: honest host, quite reliable
    Cons: *terrible* email service

    Summary: Used to be a good host, even if they never really cared about email. During the last months the email server has become totally unreliable, and their support seem to be disappeared. The only suggestion I had from them was to use a different SMTP server ... read more

  • It could be better.

    May 09 '01
    Pros: No data loss, stable environment, pricing
    Cons: Random e-mail black outs, complicated account management for multiple accounts

    Summary: I have used only 2 webhosting companies since I got into web development 5 years ago. I like to find one company that follows through and delivers consistent quality. My first hoster was Tabnet. I loved them. I never had any problems with upload, ... read more

  • Valueweb, great server ... good support

    May 03 '01
    Pros: Lots of disk/transfer space, tons of extra service, good support
    Cons: None that I have found.

    Summary: I have found Valueweb to be an excellent server. We have run our high traffic bookselling website, http://www.anybook.com on a number of servers over the years, I think valueweb is one of the best. We've been on valueweb over a year now and the uptime ... read more

    Cons: Support. What's that?!

    Summary: I must say they do have good speeds as advertised. Their pricing as nice as well. It stopped there. I used them as a host a quite some time ago and I have purposely erased much of my experiences with them from memory. I do however remember that their ... read more

  • WATCH OUT! Deceptive Business Tactics

    May 06 '05
    Pros: Huh?
    Cons: Value? Lack of customer service, sneaky tactics.

    Summary: ValueWeb (Affinity Internet) is of no value. Watch out for sneaky hidden clauses in their contracts. ACTUALLY READ the user agreement before signing up for any of their services. You might think that when you cancel a service you would stop getting
