C1vHosting Worst Experience Ever – Unreliable Service and Data Loss

in Reviews

I purchased a 900 GB HDD VPS from C1vHosting on Saturday, August 24th, 2024, and it’s been a complete nightmare ever since. After buying this VPS, I feel like I also bought a lifetime supply of headaches.

  1. Network Downtime:
    The VPS went down due to a network issue for an entire day right after setup. That should have been a red flag, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

  2. Disk Failure and Data Loss:
    Today, the VPS went down again, this time due to a “disk failure” caused by a supposed power interruption. I lost ALL my important data. C1vHosting’s response? They simply powered the VPS back on and claimed everything was fine, but my data was gone forever.

  3. Unhelpful Support and Excuses:
    When I opened a ticket, they admitted the issue but casually mentioned the VPS might have different CPU and RAM resources than originally ordered. To "restore" my setup, they suggested I initiate a reinstallation through the client area. Guess what? When I tried, I got this error:

Error Occurred
An error occurred. Please contact the administrator and provide the details:
Message: Login to Proxmox host '10.0.4.3' port '8006' failed

When I asked their team to restore my data, their response was laughable:

“Hello,
I can see the VPS is up: 2 days 02:35:58”

Seriously? The VPS wasn’t even operational, and they insisted it was fine.

  1. Unprofessional and Clueless Support:
    This team is completely unprofessional and seems to operate in some delusional state where they assume everything works without checking. It’s like they’re on drugs or something.

    Conclusion:
    Avoid C1vHosting at all costs. Their service is unreliable, their support team is incompetent, and they show zero accountability. I lost valuable data because of their negligence, and instead of offering a proper resolution, they gave me excuses and false assurances.

Trust me, spend your money elsewhere—this provider is not worth the frustration!

    C1VHosting is clearly a scam operation. It should be avoided.

    Congratulations on finding the link to the hidden ticket system. It almost felt like a 'capture the flag' operation. I still don't understand why he doesn't just use the ticket system built-in to WHMCS.

    You are a brave brave man storing anything remotely important at C1V.

    There is no team. It's a one kid show scam using ChatGPT funded enabled by his mom.

    It is believed that it was made by the French as a defense technique back in the 1940s as a substitution for the more commonly used surrender technique.

    Tickets without answers would put the soldiers in an awkward locked position for hours or even days at a time.

    Your storage offer was offered less than 3 months ago. Stop it with the "blah blah blah" of how important is for us to have backups. We know that. But your "storage" plan can not even handle "storing" data for 3 months?! Really?! What kind of "professional" service is that? I'll answer: it's called shit service!

    1. Professionalism and Accountability: [...]

    EXACTLY! I want to see that! Everybody wants to see that! It is why your provider tag got removed!

    There is no "professionalism" when you lose customer's data in less than 3 months since release of service. Professionalism means having good hardware and next to no downtime.

    There is no "accountability" when you offer just words in return. Where is your "accountability" now considering you lost the customer's data? I want to see that accountability! I demand to see that accountability! I demand to see your gentleman's word fulfilled!

    We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our aim is to provide accessible hosting services, and we are dedicated to learning from this situation to better serve our clients.

    Your regrets have no meaning and no value due to lack of information and lack of keeping your own promises. This is why your provider tag was removed and it should stay that way.

    It's a way of justifying an uptime of < 90% (measured for almost a year)

    This sounds like a nightmare! Network downtime, data loss, and unhelpful support are deal-breakers for any hosting provider. I’d strongly suggest moving to a more reliable hosting service that values your data and provides professional support. Don’t waste more time with C1vHosting—there are much better options!

    Oh Boy, Another "Reliable" Host Bites the Dust

    Wow, C1vHosting! You've managed to achieve the holy trinity of hosting nightmares: network downtime, data loss, and support that makes you wonder if they're actually sentient. What a feat! It's like they took all the worst parts of a bad horror movie and mashed them into one glorious mess of incompetence!

    Let me break it down for you, because apparently, you folks need a refresher course on what a real hosting company looks like:

    • Network downtime? Check! You've got that covered. I mean who needs a stable connection when you can have "intermittent outages" and "planned maintenance" every other day? It's like you're trying to invent a new form of time travel - back to the Stone Age!
    • Data loss? You've got that too! Who needs backups when Mother Nature's RAID disk failure can do the job for you? It's like having a built-in data recovery service! I'm pretty sure you're secretly training for the Olympic sport of "Data Loss Relay".
    • Support? Oh boy, have they got support! It's like trying to get information out of a brick wall. I'm pretty sure their customer service team is actually a group of trained seals who communicate solely through clicks and whistles. Maybe they should just rename themselves "ClickWhistle Hosting Inc."?

    I mean seriously though, if this isn't a textbook example of how NOT to run a hosting company, I don't know what is. These guys should be teaching courses on "How to Lose Customers Fast" at Harvard Business School. They're like the hosting equivalent of a participation trophy - everyone gets one, but only because we feel sorry for them!

    To anyone considering using these clowns, let me put it this way: If you want to experience the thrill of pulling your hair out while simultaneously wondering if your website still exists, then C1vHosting is the place for you! It's like playing a game of "Host the Human Pinata", except instead of candy, you get data loss and frustration!

    But hey, if you're feeling adventurous and enjoy playing "Host the Human Pinata", go ahead and give them a try. Just don't say I didn't warn you when your site goes dark and you lose all your data... again. And hey, who knows? You might even win a prize! Maybe a participation trophy with a special "I survived C1vHosting" sticker on it!

    [Edit: After posting this, I just realized something. The host mentioned in the original post was called "C1vHosting". Coincidence? I think not! Ah, marketing genius!]
