Verdict :
cartika has been an excellent host. They have saved us with their backup and recovery solution many times. We just log in, click a restore point and presto, our site or file or database is back to where we want it. For $10 a month, this is outstanding. Their support staff are always available by phone or chat. highly recommend this host
This is a review for Cartikahosting.com. After trying out their services, here is our reviews, ratings, compliments and complaints.
Overall Cartikahosting.com does not live up to our standards of what we consider valuable, long term services and quality servers. Their servers are known to have many problems in the past. We believe they will try to fix these issue however a more serious problem is the company itself as well as their servers continuously having problems with Virus and security issues. We would recommend Cartikahosting to try to run virus scans at least once a week. Most server companies would do this daily if not even hourly. The viruses found on Cartikahosting servers increases bandwidth and spam and in return Cartikahosting will charge the client more money. Whether this is intentional is hard to measure however, we had had other third party monitors provide us with lower bandwidth readings than what Cartikahosting provided us. Cartikahosting also will not provide you with any proof of their bandwidth readings. After 3 months of hosting they tried to charge us more than double our original subscription plan. It's not a good idea to go with a company that will nickle and dime you for everything, especially with falsely increased bandwidth readings.

Value of their services and servers is adjusted to about 10 USD per month which is already a compliment. Hostgator in comparison has unlimited disk space, bandwidth for only 7.95 USD per month.
You do not want to pay for someone being nice on online chat but rather pay for server quality, billing ethics, and long term growth prospects. We have learned this with HostDepartment that even they are somewhat polite using their online chat, their servers continuosly had problems and we often receive complaints from others about this company. Cartikahosting.com in comparison to other similar web hosting companies is flat out NOT recommended.
Go with a company that has a good track record. You can make some comparisons on some third party websites. You can see that there is a continual decline in people using Cartikahosting versus the increase of clients using Hostgator. The best advise is to go with the winner not the loser or the losing company. There is a reason for company's success which is usually due to service, price, knowledge, tech support, and ethics. Reviewing Hostdepartment.com and you can see their total domains went down to almost 0 which is where Cartikahosting is likely headed.
Compare with http://www.webhosting.info/webhosts/reports/total_domains/hostgator.com
For those who wish to take the risk and try them, it would be suggested that you ask them for a 3 month free trial period. But although the problems with Cartikahosting happened after the 5-6th month. In conclusion, of the 10 years of evaluating hosting companies, Cartikahosting is just about the worst and the bottom of the list. It's hard to develop a long term business with them. Andrew Rouchotas is one of the two people running this Cartikahosting website (started on March 2003) who is located at 576 Danforth Rd, Scarborough , Ontario M1K 1E3, Canada (+1.416.703.8684) and the hosting is outsourced at in the USA with Colo4Dallas.com which is located at 3000 Irving Blvd. Dallas, TX 75247. You can contact this server company to verify if you need. So if you have any problems they can disappear or not answer you. It is not wise to rely on a company that is run by just one or two people or a company.
There's a good amount of negative reviews about Cartikahosting Try to read how Cartikahosting replies to these negative reviews and you will understand that you cannot rely on this kind of company. But instead of Cartikahosting spending all their time replying to negative reviews it would seem more productive and important that they concentrate more on providing better services and servers. In addition, they spend even more time writing their own reviews on websites run by themself such as www.cartikahostingreviews.com, www.cartikahostingreview.org, whreviews.com/cartikahosting.htm, and www.cartikaforum.com . We wrote our review on these websites and it was removed with 10 minutes. If you write an honest but negative review about them on their review websites and they will take it down immediately. We believe this is misleading to consumers.
And lastly for all those who are demanding refunds back from Cartikahosting, the most ethical suggestion is that Cartikahosting should just refund them. Then the upset clients will be less inclined to write these negative reviews and Cartikahosting could spend more time fixing their servers than spend all the time on writing their own reviews and disputing client's negative comments. It's quite simple but maybe Cartikahosting is losing too many customers and worried they will go out of business thus holding as much money as they can to keep their business afloat.
If you want true business quality hosting you have to look no farther than Cartika Hosting. I started with reseller plans years ago and moved to a dedicated server solution more than 3 years ago at the time of this writing/review. The nice thing about Cartika is you get the same quality clustered service, support and features whether you are on $10 a month plan or one costing many times that amount. Another nice feature is there is always an upgrade path from small, shared accounts to load balanced dedicated cluster solutions and everything in between. This along with the included R1soft backup solutions to every account with multiple restore points to the optional enterprise grade Mailfoundry antispam/antivirus at low additional costs make Cartika Hosting stand out in a industry fighting over who can offer the lowest price. Your business deserves business grade hosting and from someone with over 25 years in business, Cartika should be on your short-list of hosts.
Hello. Here is my Cartikahosting.com review and rating for everyone to read. I have tried Cartikahosting.com out. I am very upset and feel really ripped off by them. The don't use much of their bandwidth but they told me I was violating their TOS and told me if I don't upgrade and pay more they will suspend my account. I don't know if they are under a lawsuit but now that I read these reviews, I realize I'm not the only one with this problem. Anyway, STAY AWAY from these guys. Really terrible people running the business. In addition, it is totally obvious they run their own reviews and delete negative reviews about themselves on websites such as www.cartikahostingreview.org , cartikaforum, and also webhostingtalk.com. I wrote some web hosting complaints and negative comments about Cartikahosting on these website and they were immediately taken off. Check out more honest reviews such as Vistainter.com and web-hosting-top.com which they really do post people's voice. This website is good as well. The main point is to let clients talk, review and rate your webhosting company. This will keep the web host working hard for you. Cartikahosting is just too small of a company to trust. They can do whatever they wish including suspending your account at their will. I really want a refund back from this awful company. Don't get ripped off by Cartikahosting.com. If you really wish to try them out, demand that they give you a 3 month trial period because after the first two months is when the problems happen and they stop paying attention to the quality of the service and servers.
Excellent host. Never a problem. I have two phpbb boards for separate entities, both hosted there. Certainly not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Zero downtime in 2 years.
I was surprised to see they hadn't been reviewed here yet. Have been with this company for over a yer. Their uptime is amazing and their performance is the best we have seen. Very highly recommended provider.
