I have had a few people ask me to look into some Web hosts out there and let them know what I think about them. Like with any industry, some are good and some are bad.
The thing you have to keep in mind with web hosting is that you have to break a few eggs before you make your proverbial omelet and your going to deal with a few bad web hosts before you find a good one.
I figured the first company I would tackle would be Globat. They recently made some news by being included on the list of the worst web hosting companies out there today done by Web Hosting Unleashed.
They do have a big customer base – so maybe the numbers could be wrong. So I decided to go out and find a few more reviews of Globat on some more web hosting review web sites.
The Web Hosting Reviews of Globat.com
- At WebHostingUnleashed.com they currently have a score of 4 positive reviews and 49 negative reviews.
- At WebHostingChoice.com they have a review of 4.74 from a collection of 54 reviews.
- At WebHostingJury.com they have an average score of 2.5 or so out of 5 across the board.
How did I come up with these sources? I picked them at random from doing a search for “Globat Reviews”. I also was looking for places that had customer reviews and not just come cookie cutter paid for review that the web host probably set up themselves.
Now when I contacted the Globat CEO about the Web Hosting Unleashed review he did respond back, but he never “officially” let me know if I could share his thoughts on it with all of you. He’s got an open invitation to come on this podcast any time in the future though to talk to his current, future and past clients one on one right here.
The numbers speak for themselves though. From my research I’d have to give this web host a thumbs down. If you have any past or current history, good or bad with Globat I’d love to hear it. Feel free to leave a comment or hit me up with an E-mail at mitch@mitchkeeler.com.
