It sucks !

A month back we had launched our site: http://donateyourpc.in, which was doing awesome. More than 12 volunteers and more than 10 donation in 15 days. And suddenly the site was done. It is still down because of the hosting company called manashosting. Initially we thought its a good place to host the site. Then after we got lot many problem with these guys, now site is down from last 10 days. And no action taken after 16 phone calls and from past 10 days. Bloody Money eaters !

THE WORST HOST """"EVER""" PERIOD

OK. First off, all the reviews below this one might have some good opinion. But, I have been in the hosting and web development business for several years and let me just tell you this, trusting Manas Hosting on your web hosting needs is the BIGGEST mistake you can make.

I was with them through their initial seed stages and everything seemed fine for a while. But, they just couldn't handle the servers. They claim to have a very reliable system but that is all trash talk. In its initial stages, if you had a problem (which would be almost every 3-7 days), you could call up someone and talk to them personally to get it fixed. However, that is not the case now. You have to go through their support team who are incapable of comprehending even the "smallest" of issues. They do not have any knowledge of web hosting and speak like robots that are pre-programmed to answer only specific questions. Ask them anything a little more advanced and somehow the phone gets disconnected or you receive a simple reply "I will redirect the issue and it will be solved tonight". And tonight never arrives for them. Even a week later.

I also had a reseller account with them and hosted my clients' websites there (I am a web developer). My clients frequently complained of their emails not working and the surprisingly long downtimes. Their website claims to have 99.99% up time. This is not true.

They will lure you with LOW prices and HIGH specifications such as unlimited space and bandwidth. My sincere suggestion is to leave this behind and host your site with someone like Media Temple (my current host) or Aplus or 1and1. Go for someone with an international footprint and a NAME. Even if that means that you won't get 1TB of space. Trust me, for an average business website, 50-200 MB would suffice.

Choose your poison. I will change this review to a positive one if I notice SIGNIFICANT changes at Manas. Until then, even I am disappointed. I usually hate putting up bad reviews. I just can't help it this time (imagine how much I would have gone through).

Biggest Pro: Price
Biggest Con: TOO MANY

Manas Hosting review

The following is my personal comments on the service of Manas hosting based on my personal experience with them and request you to reply your review comments to the service provider.

When I first heard of it, I was simply amazed by the price they were offering 1GB hosting package for and the best part was that the 1 domain registration was also free with the hosting package. I wondered how come they could give so much of space n blah blah in such a meager amount that I am still unaware of ...

Beware if you get this email

Just want to warn others in case they get a similar email to the one I got from manashosting.net.in. I've never registered a domain with them and never would judging by their reputation online, when I asked them which domain they came back to me with one of mine which contrary to what they stated is not due for renewal. They are engaging in domain phishing, beware.

Manashosting Linux Hosting Review by Paul

attractive offers.. cheap prices.. very good high end promises.. but nothing kept.. bad service.. took a week to activate the account.. solutions for problems and queries takes minimum of 10 to 15 days.. nobody picks the customer support tech numbers during office hours.. technically they never understand what you explain.. servers are always down.. you will rarely connect to ftp.. website uptime is always poor..

believe me.. who ever is giving positive feedback about manashosting is working for them and are their own staff..

Very poor service from ManasHosting

I had registered for the manashosting 5 domain linux plan . Still after making the payment and called them more than 30 times ,my account is not active. Manashosting is one of the worst service provider. Finally i was able to have chat with the Manashosting techincal team . They had no idea how to activate my account . Even one of the manashosting executive was asking me about my password . I dont know what kind of service they provide and when I asked them why they need my password. They told me ther e mail server is not working for week and they want to login into my account. Manashosting service really sucks. I have saved the two chat conversation with manashosting executive. I am posting the chat on this forum .So that no one can get trapped into such a situation.There plan may look attractive but there service is pathetic . I would say no service thats because I have not got my account activated. I have asked them to terminate the plan and to revert back my money. Lets see how these manashosting people provide service to this request
