A Cautionary Experience: Unresolved Losses and Suspected Scam with BeHosted/ReliableHost.net
I purchased a 1-year web hosting plan from BeHosted, and after 3-4 months, all my data, including website databases, was lost. When I contacted support, I was informed that due to a DDoS attack and subsequent server changes, all data on the old VPS was deleted. This was a huge setback as I had to rebuild my website from scratch.
Additionally, I had participated in BeHosted’s affiliate program, inviting friends to sign up, which earned me $100 in affiliate rewards. However, when I attempted to withdraw my earnings, I discovered that my affiliate account was removed without explanation, along with a $50 credit I had added to my account, effectively losing $150 in total.
Upon contacting support for assistance, I received no response. Later, I was notified via email that BeHosted was transitioning to a new website, ReliableHost.net, and closing down BeHosted. Attempts to address my lost credits and affiliate earnings with ReliableHost.net’s support were ignored.
Given this experience, I would strongly advise caution when considering services from BeHosted or ReliableHost.net. My attempts to resolve issues related to refunds and affiliate payments were met with silence, leading me to believe this may not be an isolated incident. It’s disappointing to encounter such issues, and I hope this review helps others make informed decisions.
