My website has been down since March. Someone placed a virus in the site which Fat Cow is hosting. They have done nothing to correct the problem. Now they are claiming since I don’t have their maintainence plain they are not going to do anything to repair it. It almost seems to me that they gave me the virus to sell me a protection plan.

I tried FatCow for webhosting a local political campaign site based on reviews like these. The price was decent – $44 for a year.

The campaign was successful, and I took the site down afterward. Unfortunately, I did not cancel the account, and it autorenewed at _$107_ for a year. When I went to cancel it, they told me there would be a $35 cancellation fee. When I said I didn’t remember seeing that when I signed up, they said it’s in “Terms and Conditions” – buried with a ton of legalese.

Anyway, fool me once and all that. I told them I thought their policy was misleading and abusive, and I won’t be back.

(PS- They also take _forever_ to answer their phone – it took three tries to get this cancelled since one time I had to leave after ~20 minutes on hold and the other time I was cut off after a similar wait time.)

Avoid.

My account is down and they don’t seem to care. My website was supposed to transfer many weeks ago without interruption. still hasn’t, and now it’s completely down. I’m told it has been put under priority status, which means a tech will look at it within 48 hours. Run Run Run from these people. God are they shockingly incompetent and cavelier about your problems!

I have been hosting a small site with FatCow for two years now, and have been very satisfied. The couple of times that I have spoken with a customer service rep, they have been friendly and helpful. When I wanted to downgrade my plan, the person I spoke do was courteous, helpful, and did not try to pressure me to buy anything I didn’t want. That was refreshing. My site does not demand a lot in terms of service features like shopping cart or autoresponder, so I cannot comment on the reliability or value of those services. But for the simple site that I have, the service has been great.

I realized now after using Fat Cow web hosting from last 3 years that they are best! Fat Cow ppl makes every move possible to make my site working all the time, without any problems. I enjoy their uptime and facilities greatly and will even recommend this to my friends & colleagues.
The photo galleries and blogs are amazing and I truly enjoy them with Fat Cow. With just $56 per annum, I an liking every bit of Fat Cow web hosting. Fat Cow is my advised web host definitely. You can also take the services if you want and enjoy good web hosting like me.
