15+ years with LiquidWeb, time to move on? r/webhosting - 6 upvotes, 25 comments I've had a dedicated server with Liquidweb for over 15 years, I tend to upgrade every 4-6 years depending on need or new features. As many have said their support has gone way downhill. In my eyes it's been bad for year

They use an optical sensor with a reflective sticker on the flywheel to determine the cadence of the flywheel, and then it calculates power from

I used ChemiCloud hosting ( @HeyChemiCloud) for a short-term website - the service and support were a dream to work with.

The host had frequent periods of down time. One of these lasted over 24 hours. Tech support was responsive but not particularly useful.

I haven't experienced any downtime, and the support team is always available and extremely helpful. They respond to support tickets super fast.

Their customer service use to be great but now their team has become super unhelpful. And for some, their English and grammar are poor …

It takes forever to setup any new product (e.g. hosting, wordpress, etc) and their CS is atrocious. Take your money elsewhere.

IONOS is an awful company, with a terrible UI and bad support. Personally, I do my EU Domain Management directly via OVH, it works well for my

Please stay away from them. They are really bad. The offers are tempting, but the service is seriously not upto the mark.

My Experience with IONOS (Scam) r/webhosting - 22 upvotes, 22 comments IONOS is the worst of the worst hosting you could use. I can explain: When I bought a domain from them which is £6 a year, after a month somehow my yearly domain is a monthly payment of £12. I missed 3 payments because I don't lo

Do not use!!!!! You're right, IONOS is a total scam. The websites that recommend them probably get paid to recommend them because they're awful

IONOS doesn't seem to have a good reputation with people on reddit but it does get high ratings on review sites like HostAdvice and Trustpilot.

What is Social Noise?

Social Noise is our real-time feed of what people are publicly saying about web hosting companies across X (Twitter), Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, and other social platforms. We surface genuine user opinions, the good, the bad, and the ugly, so you can see unfiltered feedback before choosing a host.

How do you collect these mentions?

We use automated search tools to monitor social media platforms for posts mentioning hosting companies in our directory. Each mention is classified by sentiment (good, bad, or mixed) and linked back to the original post and the host's profile on Hostlist.

How is sentiment determined?

Each mention is read for its overall meaning, not just for negative or positive keywords, and classified as Good (a positive experience or recommendation, even one that mentions a past problem but concludes satisfied), Bad (a genuine complaint or negative experience), or Mixed/Ugly (a nuanced take with real pros and cons). Posts from a host's own account, and promotional or affiliate copy, are excluded entirely rather than scored.

How often is Social Noise updated?

Social Noise is refreshed daily. We scan for new mentions across all monitored platforms every 24 hours and add them to the feed. The page itself revalidates every 2 minutes to show the latest data.

Can I filter by platform or sentiment?

Yes. Use the filter pills at the top to narrow by platform (X, Instagram, TikTok, Other) or sentiment (Good, Bad, Mixed). Filters can be combined to see, for example, only negative mentions on X.
