They say I've exceeded my bandwidth, okay but their site will not allow me to purchase more, nor will it allow me to change hosting packages. I was billed 3 days ago for the next month, but my site is still not restored. Everytime I email their tech support with DETAILS, they give some stock answer about how my site has exceeded it's bandwith... Which is impossible of course since my site has been down for the 3 days since they billed me for another month. Yes mydomain.com sucks….

I got my Wordpress install running without problems and I haven't had any downtime. For the price, MyDomain hosting is pretty sweet. Plus the domains are cheap! Last year I tried 1and1 hosting and their Support sucked bigtime. I also have a GoDaddy account. Their hosting is pretty mediocre...well, actually, GoDaddy sucks! MyDomain is my host now until they screw up. I bought a MyDomain monthly hosting plan a little over 2 months ago to try it out.

I have been a webmaster for several years and I have to say that mydomain.com is by far the worst host I have ever seen. I hope they eventually get sued and become non-existent. They are scam artists and have no knowledge of running a server properly. Steer clear of this one unless you like being burnt. I would also like to say I am in agreement with all of this.

I highly recommend you avoid this awful site. The support is horrible and customer service is non-existent. This site is a scam, fake, crap, garbage, waste of time and waste of money.

I too transfered a website about a year ago and I had numerous unauthorized charges to my credit card... and basically got no website development for that $$$- also they lure customer in with the promise of bring up website fast--- but they forgot the $499.00 per hour charges--- The database is seldom correct and just wait until you try to transfer. No speediness there. No negative (on the web) about this company when I switched!!! I just typed in MyDomain sucks… and I see you are in agreement with my statement.

Richard: My issue with MyDomain is their customer support. They are so arrogant to admit an issue that requires basic mathematics to figure out; when they admit the problem they blatantly say they'll do nothing about it. I am not bothered about the money, it's their attitude that stinks. It's not one only person that I talked with; they were several over the course of about 10 days.

BTW, MyDomain has some new hosting offerings, and if you run out of bandwidth on the new plans, you're about due for a dedicated server.

When I was moving my domain away from "mydomain.com", I did the process as required (autherisation code, etc). However, "mydomain.com" were not releasing the domain so that the new registrar takes hold of it. I had to call them up and tell them to release the domain. My understanding is that there is a final step for the domain transaction, where the old registrar has to accept the transfer. If the old registrar does not do something, there is a 5-7 day expiration if no explicit release happens. As this task makes no money, it appears to be left to the expiration process. If your Website is live (it's not domain parking), this issue affects you. Hi Stan,

I am sorry to hear your troubles, however, having some kind of insider knowledge (I run a domaining blog AND own a hosting company), I can say you one thing: NEVER EVER buy domain from hosting companies and hosting from registrars! Usually this leads to quite big trouble. Your case wasn’t the worst I’ve heard…

Good luck!

I have been moving my business accounts away from them, but I stupidly kept about 30 hobby sites with MD (didn't have time to move them while running my business). I finally have time, and am working on geting things out of mydomain.com . They've been promising fixes for years, yet nothing is improving. You can't get a tech support person who knows anything on the phone or email, they've been blacklisted so many times it's crazy, have billing problems that their "automation team" can't fix, constant email latency issues, DNS problems on a routing basis, etc, etc. Not worth the small savings you get when registering a domain with them, as you'll regularly burn up whatever you save in lost traffic and downtime. Run, don't walk, away from mydomain.com as fast as you can. This is nothing new, Mydomain has been spiraling downhill over the last several years that Ive had domains hosted by them.
