This is a review for Cartikahosting.com. After trying out their services, here is our reviews, ratings, compliments and complaints. Overall Cartikahosting.com does not live up to our standards of what we consider valuable, long term services and quality servers. Their servers are known to have many problems in the past. We believe they will fix these issue however a more serious problem is the company itself. 1. Cartikahosting long term prospects - Poor 2. Cartikahosting Billing and Pricing - Poor 3. Cartikahosting Customer Service - Average 4. Cartikahosting Server uptime - Poor - Average 5. Cartikahosting Control Panel - Very Good (Hsphere) 6. Cartikahosting Overall Rating - Poor - Average Cartikahosting.com in comparison to other similar web hosting companies is NOT recommended. We have also noticed that most of their positive reviews are written themselves and take off negative reviews on their own run review website. We have tried to enter our review but it was taken off the next day. We recommend not to trust the following reviews about Cartikahosting as it is misleading to customers. www.cartikahostingreviews.com, www.cartikahostingreview.org, whreviews.com/cartikahosting.htm, www.webhostingtalk.com., www.cartikaforum.com .

It's a shame that people do not post honest reviews. The post from "editor" aka "Cheryl" aka "mark" and many others is a known spammer that threatens his hosts trying to extort money for free hosting after they ban him for abuse (look around as he has done this to many hosts). I have been a web developer since 1996 and have used/recommended Cartika Hosting services to many business clients and other web developers around the world. Their quality of service, hardware, and network along with their support team is truly unmatched in the industry. The only negative feedback I have ever seen on Cartika hosting is fabricated by those individuals who were suspended and/or made to leave for spamming or other types of abuse. I along with many other happy clients of Cartika appreciate the ejection of the bad apples that plague the hosting industry. That is one of the reasons they are able to provide the quality of service they have and have earned the respect of others throughout the hosting industry. If you want true business quality hosting you have to look no farther than Cartika Hosting. I started with reseller plans years ago and moved to a dedicated server solution more than 3 years ago at the time of this writing/review. The nice thing about Cartika is you get the same quality clustered service, support and features whether you are on $10 a month plan or one costing many times that amount. Another nice feature is there is always an upgrade path from small, shared accounts to load balanced dedicated cluster solutions and everything in between. This along with the included R1soft backup solutions to every account with multiple restore points to the optional enterprise grade Mailfoundry antispam/antivirus at low additional costs make Cartika Hosting stand out in a industry fighting over who can offer the lowest price. Your business deserves business grade hosting and from someone with over 25 years in business, Cartika should be on your short-list of hosts.

This is a review for Cartikahosting.com. After trying out their services, here is our reviews, ratings, compliments and complaints. Overall Cartikahosting.com does not live up to our standards of what we consider valuable, long term services and quality servers. Their servers are known to have many problems in the past. We believe they will try to fix these issue however a more serious problem is the company itself as well as their servers continuously having problems with Virus and security issues. We would recommend Cartikahosting to try to run virus scans at least once a week. Most server companies would do this daily if not even hourly. The viruses found on Cartikahosting servers increases bandwidth and spam and in return Cartikahosting will charge the client more money. Whether this is intentional is hard to measure however, we had had other third party monitors provide us with lower bandwidth readings than what Cartikahosting provided us. Cartikahosting also will not provide you with any proof of their bandwidth readings. After 3 months of hosting they tried to charge us more than double our original subscription plan. It's not a good idea to go with a company that will nickle and dime you for everything, especially with falsely increased bandwidth readings. Cartika Hosting Review: 1. Cartikahosting long term prospects - Poor * 2. Cartikahosting Billing and Pricing - Poor * 3. Cartikahosting Customer Service and attitude - Good **** 4. Cartikahosting Server uptime - Poor - Average *** 5. Cartikahosting Control Panel - Very Good (Hsphere) ***** 6. Cartikahosting Overall Rating - Poor - Average ** 7. Cartikahosting Business Ethics - Poor * Value of their services and servers is adjusted to about 10 USD per month which is already a compliment. Hostgator in comparison has unlimited disk space, bandwidth for only 7.95 USD per month. You do not want to pay for someone being nice on online chat but rather pay for server quality, billing ethics, and long term growth prospects. We have learned this with HostDepartment that even they are somewhat polite using their online chat, their servers continuosly had problems and we often receive complaints from others about this company. Cartikahosting.com in comparison to other similar web hosting companies is flat out NOT recommended. Go with a company that has a good track record. You can make some comparisons on some third party websites. You can see that there is a continual decline in people using Cartikahosting versus the increase of clients using Hostgator. The best advise is to go with the winner not the loser or the losing company. There is a reason for company's success which is usually due to service, price, knowledge, tech support, and ethics. Reviewing Hostdepartment.com and you can see their total domains went down to almost 0 which is where Cartikahosting is likely headed. http://www.webhosting.info/webhosts/reports/total_domains/cartikahosting.COM Compare with http://www.webhosting.info/webhosts/reports/total_domains/hostgator.com For those who wish to take the risk and try them, it would be suggested that you ask them for a 3 month free trial period. But although the problems with Cartikahosting happened after the 5-6th month. In conclusion, of the 10 years of evaluating hosting companies, Cartikahosting is just about the worst and the bottom of the list. It's hard to develop a long term business with them. Andrew Rouchotas is one of the two people running this Cartikahosting website (started on March 2003) who is located at 576 Danforth Rd, Scarborough , Ontario M1K 1E3, Canada (+1.416.703.8684) and the hosting is outsourced at in the USA with Colo4Dallas.com which is located at 3000 Irving Blvd. Dallas, TX 75247. You can contact this server company to verify if you need. So if you have any problems they can disappear or not answer you. It is not wise to rely on a company that is run by just one or two people or a company. There's a good amount of negative reviews about Cartikahosting Try to read how Cartikahosting replies to these negative reviews and you will understand that you cannot rely on this kind of company. But instead of Cartikahosting spending all their time replying to negative reviews it would seem more productive and important that they concentrate more on providing better services and servers. In addition, they spend even more time writing their own reviews on websites run by themself such as www.cartikahostingreviews.com, www.cartikahostingreview.org, whreviews.com/cartikahosting.htm, and www.cartikaforum.com . We wrote our review on these websites and it was removed with 10 minutes. If you write an honest but negative review about them on their review websites and they will take it down immediately. We believe this is misleading to consumers. And lastly for all those who are demanding refunds back from Cartikahosting, the most ethical suggestion is that Cartikahosting should just refund them. Then the upset clients will be less inclined to write these negative reviews and Cartikahosting could spend more time fixing their servers than spend all the time on writing their own reviews and disputing client's negative comments. It's quite simple but maybe Cartikahosting is losing too many customers and worried they will go out of business thus holding as much money as they can to keep their business afloat.

In short, Cartikahosting is not recommended. For those who do not wish to read the lengthy review, check other website stats and see what others are doing. http://www.webhosting.info/webhosts/reports/total_domains/cartikahosting.COM . Then Compare with a larger company Hostgator.com. http://www.webhosting.info/webhosts/reports/total_domains/hostgator.com . You will see people either leaving Cartikahosting where as other hosting companies that are more reputable, there is an increase in clients.
