November 21, 2008 -anonymous- ( -no email- ) | These guys are in the wrong business with there red noses and floppy feet. There customer service is gives masturbation a bad name. My business mail is down with no recourse to having my mail being bounced. Its bad enough that they are screwing customers over but now they are making the customer look like they are incompetent as they are.

May 23, 2008 Charles ( mizoxxx@y... ) | Don't waste your time with OnSmart. They shut down in January 2008 without any notice. They are now back up, months later. They will not reimburse users for their several months of downtime. Absolutely horrible support.

May 9, 2008 Wendy ( vablonde25@a... ) | I had a client with an ecommerce store hosted with this company for over THREE YEARS and is now gone. They didn't receive the going out of business notice and therefore didn't make any backups.
The site is completely unrecoverable, the didn't receive notification that there was going to be a shift in "management", but basically this company was and continues to be useless beyond repair.
The upside is that we were not stupid enough to register our domain name with OnSmart so we were able [...]

March 8, 2008 dk ( dk@r... ) | F.Y.I Onsmart isn't technically going out of business they are changing the name of their company and starting a new one.
I didn't proceed all the way but it looks as if you can still sign up for a hosting plan. They also make no mention about going out of business on their site..... Sandy, Peter & Gilles are a real bunch of winners! Onsmart is AWFUL!
Choose your next host with caution!

February 25, 2008 Sandra ( -no email- ) | I thought we had until March before our websites were out of service, but I got up today and mine is totally inaccessible. Not only that, ever since OnSmart notified us that they are going out of business I've been slammed with waves of spam. It appears they've removed any spam filters they had. Additionally, I believe their servers are unsecure now and I have a strong suspicision that my website has been hacked into. Too bad, OnSmart gave good service up until the end. They really let us [...]

February 23, 2008 Andrew LoCascio ( andyl@s... ) | This whole affair with this company going out of business is incredible and should be a warning to all of us who select hosting companies that do not have any real phone support.
The big question is why is their website still up? Are these folks so criminal that they cannot even take the site down? Shame on EnomCentral.com for allowing this to happen. We all know about the hardware issues that OnSmart was having. If this was indeed EnomCentrals hardware, this would be a company I would [...]

My domain and hosting was also threw onsmart.com. I discovered that OnSmart.com was actually a reseller of EnomCentral.com. I was able to contact Enom using their Customer Care Center (CustomerCare@Enom.com). This was the reply:

1. transfer your domain only for $29.95, this will add an addition year to your domain once moved to eNom
or
2. Get your domain and hosting. Pay $9.99 for the domain and a low $5.96 a month for hosting [...]

February 13, 2008 Marc ( -no email- ) | What a mess. I got through yesterday using that phone number and they answered by simply saying "Hello" as well. They got my site back up and running but wouldn't let me speak with anyone about billing issues - instead instructing me to call back today when someone could assist with those issues. Calling back today resulted in reaching the generic mailbox.
I pressed the individual to tell me whether onsmart was going out of business. At first all he would say is that he is not allowed to [...]

Yesterday they did not answer at all (went to an unidentified voice mail box) but today they answered with just "hello." I talked to the person on the phone and asked to have my webfiles so I could put them on a different server. He promised my site would be back up in 15 minutes. BTW, he also claimed nothing was wrong with OnSmart, that they weren't out of business and my [...]

They have a support number, but, good luck getting it to work: 1-877-377-7520

February 11, 2008 GC ( -no email- ) | OnSmart dropped off the face of the earth. Lost 2 of my sites, and have 10 others that I just renewed. They owe me over $1,000. I'd like to know if I'll be seeing any of the money back.
The email sent to all clients has a link to get temporary help, but even that link is broken. They're not answering at help@onsmart.net either.
Here's the letter they sent to everyone: Dear OnSmart Network Customer, Due to the difficulty in web hosting industry, we decided to close our business in [...]

Is there a way to take legal action? I want my money back and my websites they have.
Useless , don't even touch it.

February 7, 2008 Jeffrey Hare ( onsmart@t... ) | CAUTION!
This company has gone out of business as of January 31, 2008. Used to have good support and reasonable response time. They've collected my recent renewals, disabled their support, billing console and other services. One of my websites is still functional, two of them have no email anymore. All of them still have cpanel access but as things break or servers hang, there's nobody behind the curtain anymore to fix it.
If you have a site hosted by them, download full backups right [...]

As someone else said, there are HUGE delays in between the chats due to the fact they are speaking to 100 people on the live chat at the same time.
