a hosting service to avoid - znet india (now Znet Technologies)

Want to share my experience with others, to save them some misery.

Background:
- hosting site and email with them for about 1 year
- renewed - probably out of laziness - for 1 year.

Buildup:
- after renewal - start getting emails saying renew or face penalty. I ignored, cuz I had better things to do.
- then get 1 mail saying - if I don't renew - then my service would be disrupted.
- I reply saying, saying - I had renewed - get your house in order - and stop sending me irritating mails.
- they reply - basically saying - we don't believe you have paid us - sorry.

Sh*t happens!
- next thing I know, my service has been cut!
- wow, great - just great!
- I send them a wtf? along with proof of payment receipt - and I get no reply for more than 16 hours.

So - my site and mail is down currently. I have contacted them to make restitution. But by now, considering that their unresponsiveness and utter incompetence, I think I am better of switching.

Wait a day or two, while I get it sorted out.

Until then - take my advice and STAY AWAY from ZDNET India.

Brainpulse and Net4India - seem to be ok - in one is looking for something in the NCR region.

the site and mail are up.
Got "a thousand apologies" kind of mail. Damage already done - so will be shifting to a new hosting provider very soon.

I am very happy to say that I had taken hosting from SanInfoSys.com. They provides powerful and reliable web hosting india solutions for businesses and personal websites. SanInfoSys.com uses CPanel for Linux Hosting India, HELM for Windows Hosting India, which is a very popular control panel. Their customer service is simply the best.
