Verdict :
I paid by credit card, I had to phone them 48 hours later as I had not got any contact re my account been ready, I checked and see they took my years hosting price from my credit card. I was informed by them that my account was closed by them and that they would refund my monies, this they have not done. I asked as to why they cancelled my account and they said there accounts department told them to do so. My site was not an adult website etc. and I was not expecting high traffic on it. I have not received my money back.
I was also charged a transaction fee, I am here in UK and the hosting fee. I had to inform my credit card company that I believe ucvhostare a fraud and only wanted all my details, I had to cancel my credit card and await a new one.
ucvhost are a fraud and are only after your credit card details.
I have the baddest experience with them I paid for a three month plan I never got a confirmation email and when I contacted them I was told that the payment didn't go through. The next day however my bank charged me the amount the for their services. Since I has erased the transaction id from the bank, I only did this because they told me that the payment didn't go through, they couldn't help me! thus I paid for the server and never got the service. They are terrible avoid them at all costs.
I've used these guys for the past 5 or 6 years. For the price I can't complain. I wouldn't use them for anything critical, but for simple personal webpages and e-mail they've been fine. Any issues were quickly resolved on their live chat.
i have been these guys for over an year now and they give impeccable uptime and support , i think you are are just trying to defame them.
i have more then 80 domains hosted with ucvhost and they are all working fine for me , with great uptime and there chat support is always available willing to help , and ticket response time not more then 2-3 hrs .
also not to mention the price which is gr8 compared to other hostig companies like hostgator , i think they are are better hosting company worth more affordable pricing , i wouldn't pay $4.95 a month that nearly 60 bucks for the year compared to $12 a year here.
We hosted with them for over a year and found their support to be the worst we have ever encountered. We would encourage people to stay away from http://www.ucvhost.com and http;//www.instaspace.com with whom they are linked, see whois search below on their main site

I have been with these guys for around 3-4 yrs and am now so sick and tired of them that I am about to move all my sites. They are liars, they have no understanding of customer support, they are technically incompetent, they are unresponsive, they have nothing to offer but problems. Yes its cheap. But its also rubbish. And in the end its just not worth it.
Now I will probably try Hostgator since review in general are reasonably good. Whatever they are like they cannot possibly be worse than ucvhost.
These guys got hacked by Turkish Nationalist assholes about six months ago, and have yet to fix their servers. I've e-mailed them and they've done nothing. Their live chat doesn't work. Hell, even their web site only partially works. Lots of links are dead. Avoid them like the plague.
UCVHOST is usefull if you want to host personal web site, or portfolio.
But if you want to use PHP, mySQL, or if you need support - then forget on UCVHOST! I have to admit that it's almost imposible to find cheaper web hosting, but as I said, if you need support (sometimes that's crucial) then, I wouldn't recommend their service.
Very very slow response times. Very bad customer relations.
If you'd like to transfer away from UCVHost, get comfy...almost 2 weeks now, and still waiting for them to authorize the transfer of my domains.
I had a VERY bad experience with them. It is 1$ per month but you gain such a poor service that it is not worth it.
The website response time is extremely slow. Their MySQL performance is horrible. Emails sometimes do not get to you. I emailed support several times and they just ignored this issue completely.
The worst thing is that 2 months ago suddenly all files on server have disapeared due to some upgrade that they did without warning in advance. Everything was completely deleted. Luckily I had a backup for one of my websites. Not luckily at all, they had no backups and 2 websites have evaporated.
I have purchased the basic and an Ecommerce site hosting plans from UCVHost. The basic site setup without issue and functions most of the time. The Ecommerce site was purchased recently and "was not so good". The automated scripts failed to generate account and after many, many , many chat and emails the site is somewhat functional but lacks shopping cart, email and most other apps. I have finally given up and requested a refund on the Ecommerce site but UCVHost is no longer responding to communications. Looks like I wil have to go the cancel payment via credit card route with these guys.
If your site is not critical, the low cost may work for you but if you are serious about availablity and support I suggest you try else where.
My web site frequently goes down, if you need a database manipulation on your website do not host it on UCVhost. Even for 12$, it is a waste of money. Support staff don't listen, they just say ok, but nothing changes...
I have been with ucvhost for a few years. Sites will go up and down periodically (and they won't tell you), some more than others depending on what server they put you on. So keep track of your website's uptime.
If you contact them about a problem, they will fix it if it's easy.
If it's inconvenient or takes some work to fix the problem, they'll lie to you, saying "your site is working" or "your site will be up in 2 hours". None of which is true.
And if you politely continue asking for assistance in getting your site to work again, they will just ignore you.
IU use to recommend ucvhost due to the cheap price, but will not do that again. I will also be migrating my websites from ucvhost to another service.
I've used this hosting company for about 5 years which is based in India. The servers go down from time to time and the support reply time is slow but for $12 a year I haven't complained until now. Over the last month they have started to filter the emails and I've lost tons of emails. This is not acceptable!!!! I've asked them to stop and even talked to the owner... he said he's move my site to another server which he did but nothing changed. He continued to filter my emails.. I'm moving my site and will never return!
