AVOID AT ALL COST! Lost my files and data!! 
Written by Anonymous User (#1522-283) from san marcos,tx (Monday, March 08, 2010)
 |
Strengths: Cheap
Weaknesses: Corrupt data, Lost files, No redundancy, Not Reliable, Incompetent Administrators
Details: Do not use this company. They performed a "routine maintenance" and lost all my data I had worked on for a month! All my scripts and data in database was gone! Their only backup was over a month old! They also did not inform me there was a problem with servers. I only noticed it when I started seeing missing data. Their response was for ME to upload my most recent backup. This made me furious since THAT IS WHAT I PAY THEM TO DO!!! Unless you want to run the risk of loosing everything you have worked for a month, DO NOT USE HOST BREAK!
BTW- support was not helpful at all. Here is how they responded to this issue:

Running Away After 2+ Years 
Written by Anonymous User (#1348-145) from New Jersey (Wednesday, May 14, 2008)
|
Strengths: Ejaz
Weaknesses: Server knowledge, server stability, customer support, phone support, customization options,
Details: First of all the post from Ejaz above is fake. He is an employee. I speak to him every single day because I need support for the endless issues I face with simple functionality that IIS servers offer. These things should work at the lowest level if a company claims to host Windows technology.
Here is a list of some basic features that have failed miserably and have cost me endless hours of troubleshooting and the loss of a few clients:
1. ASP.NET pooling: Constantly becomes corrupt knocking out Front Page Server extensions and blocking access to ALL of my websites through Visual Studio. Their built in option to re-install the extensions never work and there is a constant need for people on "their side" to perform some fix.
2. Server Sessions: SQLServer and StateServer sessions do not work. They have no explanation for this and have ignored my trouble tickets for over 3 days. I have spoken to junior techs that have told me I need to speak with senior programmers, but they will not accept my calls because they are busy on other projects. These are the projects that people contract them for. So the customers that use them for years on end take a back seat to the "quickshot" money makers.
3. They claim 24/7 support: DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. There is no way to contact them by phone...it is a mailbox number. I even had an instance where my live chat was accepted and then no one answered for hours...only to find out the guy whose shift it was just signed in and walked away. Hahaha! What a joke.
4. Control Panels: Always going down.
5. There is no way to develop with Visual Studio unless the domain name has resolved and/or transferred over. Temporary names are not available to develop with.
Their lack of server knowledge astounds me. I have signed up with another hosting provider after giving them 2+ years to clean their act up. They haven't. Believe me the last thing I want to do is transfer dozens of domains...but when it's over it's over.

Hostbreak Design
Written by Anonymous User (#1514-216) from Atlanta, GA (Monday, October 30, 2006)
|
Strengths: Design, Support
Weaknesses: Coding, Response, Contracts, PHP, Customer Service, Honor
Details: I contracted with Hostbreak to complete work on our web site, AtlantaRed.com. The design work was done impeccably, and it took some time, but ultimately, the PHP programming was done as well.
The problem occurred when the demo copy was placed into production. Somehow, the problems that had been fixed during testing started occuring again. I contacted Hosbreak and I spoke to their sales dept. also. No one helped me.
I called, and each time, I was told to call back later when design was working. I waited up until 3 a.m. to call them since their guys all work offshore, and each time, I was told to call back later. They completely lost my trust and damaged my own reputation in working with them.
I am still trying to work with/contact hostbreak to get help in fixing their programmers and/or administrative error. I am not sure how this is going to work.
I would not recommend that anyone in the U.S. do business with Hostbreak. I tried to contact their Florida office and I was unable to get in touch with anyone at all. The only people I can speak with are located in India.
If you want a bad experience, this is the way to go. I regret having gone to Hostbreak now... Although I initally trusted this company to do the work.

Poor technical knowledge

Strengths: no comment
Weaknesses: Poor technical knowledge
Details: We are a reseller and they always take 24 hours to reply to us. Lately they change their email server and they did not upgrade their ASPmail component in the same time and all our customers saw their web site down for 9 days. They did not find the solution very rapidly.

Stop to looking for a hosting company
Written by Anonymous User (#1284-142) from Turkey (Saturday, February 25, 2006)
|
Strengths: 7/24 real live support, customer care is very important for them
Weaknesses: Not cheap not expensive, every sent of your money returns you
Details: Honestly they are giving a perfect service. They see you more than a customer. Whatever you need in a hosting you can find the convenient package for you in their offerings. I dont advise you to try it. I strongly advise you to have it. I am a real customer of them, if you want you can ask me your questions. maris@maristravel.com
I am hosting 18 domains in HostBreak.com, and i am happy.

A+ Support and a Free Education
Written by Anonymous User (#1363-96) from New Jersey (Thursday, October 20, 2005)
|
Strengths: Support, Response Time, Patience, Utilities
Weaknesses: 24/7 Support, no SQL utilities
Details: To say I know a little about Hosting web sites would be very kind. The fact is I know nothing about the Hosting process. I recently signed up for a reseller account through Hostbreak and decided that I was doing so much designing for people that I should just host them as well so I didn't have to run around to hundreds of other hosts to maintain their websites. I figured it would be easy...wrong.
I was way out of my league. However, the people at Hostbreak have been IMing me for the past 2 weeks, literally, even when I don't IM them with a question. Sometimes they just ask if I am alright.
I find their service and support very personal, and that is what I look for in business associates. Hostbreak not only shows me how to do things, but they also explain why we are "doing what we are doing". I am basically getting a free education about Hosting.
These guys/gals are great. I love the Instant Support through an IM client...it's fantastic and efficient.
I have moved 2 of my clients over to their servers and several more are on the way.

You search will end here. This is THE BEST
Written by Hassan Badrane from Gainesville, FL (Monday, September 19, 2005)

Strengths: All mailing, scripting, data managements, accessability features
Weaknesses: more ASP components
Details: I used the hosting service of HostBreak.com for over 3 years now. I can undoubtedly attest that hosting service with HB is among the best, if not, MAY BE THE BEST. You have to ask why? Here we go:
You have a choice of plans depending on your budget, and this doesn’t mean if you pay less you will get less. On the contrary, even the starter plan has almost all the necessary features to make your website application very elaborated, exciting, and ‘up to date’. In the starter plan you already have unlimited traffic, unlimited pop emails, all possible languages (ASP, ASP.net, CF, Java, Perl, PHP, CGI), Mailing-lists, database, FrontPage, etc… Of course if you pay more you get more. On top of this HB keep up with the IT evolution by upgrading regularly their infrastructure, servers are rarely down, and their support team is knowledgeable and friendly.
Truly speaking, each year before renewing with HB I do a search to find an alternative Hosting company offering a better Quality/Price rate. You can guess ….. I couldn’t find such a company……..because I already have it.

Great Customer Service and Outstanding Live Chat
Written by Anonymous User (#1496-239) from Sevilla, Spain (Tuesday, September 06, 2005)

Strengths: Customer service and support is outstanding. Live Chat superb.
Weaknesses: Webmail very weak. However, they say they are upgrading.
Details: Their Live Chat is amazing, they don't mind to spend 3 hours chatting with you until you are pleased. I have research for many resellers and Hostbreak.com is the only one with such a great customer service and live chat. When you need them, you get them.

FANTASTIC!

Strengths: Definitely one of the smartest teams on the earth! Fast, effiicient, friendly, patient, THE BEST!
Weaknesses: no comment
Details: I usually consider myself knowledgeable, but when I got stumped on the failure of a database connection and asked HostBreak for advise, I was shocked they were able to change some code, get a new error for me and find out the database was corrupt. I was shocked that was the problem, it never occurred to me. I was so relieved HostBreak helped me out, I was really impressed (and thankful) with HostBreak's team of support.
