Another Outage Their DNS has been off line for about 4 hours now, meaning my web site has gone dark and nobody can send me e-mail. They are not answering their phones, and have posted nothing on their web site.

rude customer service, terrible billing practices Cancellation policy is extortionist. Support takes forever to reply. Cancellation requests take forever to be dealt with. Took two months to get an updated invoice. I'm now worried that, despite closing the account, they are still going to charge me next year. "There is no point in arguing. All you need to do is read." - Vladimir

Never, ever, purchase services from Fluid Hosting Never, but NEVER use fluidhosting.com. I was a loyal customer for many years, paid all bills on time. Once I decided to terminate service after a completely unusable WP hosting service, I have been denied a refund, as well as being charged for a service I had already cancelled months back. Fluid Hosting now owes me 2 refunds for over 3 months and the response is either silence or "we will get back asap". Dave, from billing (perhaps not even a real person) is always "on tour". This is complete and absolute EXTORTION.

Almost impossible to terminate billing. Took over a year to get my accounts closed. After I first emailed and called them (and got no response), Fluid Hosting accepted responsibility and agreed that my accounts would have been terminated at that time had they responded. After following the process they required to terminate accounts, they closed one -- and left my 'annual' account open because it had been renewed during the time that they weren't responding to my requests to close it and they weren't sure whether I wanted to close it because I couldn't get a refund? It's maddeningly confusing. In all, I should have been more vigilant about this company's continued billing, but getting them to simply close an account (much less actually respond to email or voicemail) has been like pulling teeth.

Go elsewhere! I was very happy with a wonderful hosting company named Steadfast, who unfortunately sold a portion of their company to Fluid Hosting. Nightmare. Since Andrew left (who was working out of the UK but told me they were all told to say they were in the US, I've never heard back from anyone.) Tech support rarely answers and the once a year I've heard back, its by email in wee hours of the night from a Vladimir, who never exactly answers what you ask, and has a snarky attitude on top of it. I learned they work with people in Russia and India, and pay them really, really low wages. The current staff is not fluent in English and since Andrew left, no one ever has the courtesy to return a phone call. I'm in the process of switching but cannot get out of their billing system. Holding onto that, is the one thing they're good at.
