Don't use Global Internet Solutions as Web Hoster
-
I signed up gisol.com for a biennial Web Hoster plan (which include domain name registration) in Jul 2006. Global Internet Solutions (gisol.com) is the worst web hoster that I have ever encountered. One week ago, my service was cut and my domain name status was changed to "Redemption Period". I cannot access my site and email with this domain name anymore. I emailed them more than 10 times. The reply is "please write to sales@gisol.com or admin@gisol.com". I emailed sales@gisol.com and admin@gisol.com (again more than 10 times) but received NO reply! How can a web hoster not respond the problem encountered by its client? I search from Google for this web hoster and found that many people described Global Internet Solutions as terrible web hoster too.

Never register your domain name with the same company as your hosting, because the web host can keep your domain name hostage. Although i do own/squat several domains with GoDaddy, which is also my host for a some things, since i know they are reliable. I suppose you can cancel automatic payments and read thru all the legal fine print, to be able to cancel your domain or let it expire, then grab it with a decent registrar. Yahoo, GoDaddy, NetworkSolutions, etc. Then look for a host that meets your needs. Go with the big guys, who've been in business long enough to have a respected name. Roswell

I have used them and GoDaddy and the main difference that I have seen is that GoDaddy is alot cheaper. I have moved most of my domains away from register.com now.

Thank you everyone for giving me valuable advice. In fact, I do have another domain registered in GoDaddy. The one in gisol.com is my testing site. I use them because they are cheap. But cheap service does not mean they can remove my domain name without notice. I just want to let people know their terrible service. I search google today. Here[^] is another victim. http://forums.webhostdir.com/showthread.php?threadid=15736[^] is another forum about their bad service.

Two days ago, I requested Gisol.com for refund as per their "Anytime Money Back Guarantee". They declined to refund money to me. They said I can only use my remaining credit for their other service if I do not use the existing service. Gisol.com is a very cunning web hoster. Will a person use their other service if he does not satisfy thier overall service? They are just using a dishonest promotion slogan.
