Ya when first time i checked i also shocked why they are charging so i send email to their support team they told me that 1200 is for Domain registration and for Managed DNS service. and every domain comes with 500 MB free web space which they included and bundled registration.

Registration + Managed DNS Servcie + Hosting (500 MB) + 2 MYSQL DB

The above information i got from them few months back when they revise their domain registration service i got their newsletter....

^^but they say that domain is not with hosting (so you need to purchase a new domain with them)
now you tell that a domain has 500mb storage with it...

now take a look on a standard/typical domain/dns/php,mysql plan Domain (.com) 400/-(foremost) 100/-(dns) and if the host is a good based one, they will give 500mbs of space for not more than 200 bucks.. so that makes 700/-

i was using a domain plan with Indialinks(that expired this month) for 450/- for domain and 100 for dns... my sql was hosted somewhere else.. and i was on a 1gb plan with unlimited hosting, it was costing much like this 50k premium host...
and my preference is obviously a us one..

you mentioned this with domain reg.. 500mb of storage, so wont this be in vain (cause if a customer wanna buy a hosting with them, than he has to buy a domain with them, cause its not there and you have to reg. .for it. so why is this?? extra 500mbs??)

You are right i send email to their sales team and they revert me with customized package like .....

If i already registered a domain then uses their DNS to point my domain to their Hosting server

So i update their DNS in godaddy...

My requirement is for a small hosting pack which is not a big hosting requirement like additional addon's so i ask they i need a basic hosting if you can do something for me so they provide a 1 GB pack + 1 Msql +PHP preloaded for 1250/- per year without registering domain with them.

you just try to contact them surely they must have something because web prices are just for show case actual prices will be differ just contact them with your requirement.

yes. Sure. Web prices are always negotiable. I think it needs to settle with its hosting plans a little. 58000Rs, is going to be too harsh for everyone. Besides this. What are the ping times.

Ya i know but still big companies prefer enterprise based hosting facilities like if a company is going to host very confidential website and important database and some extra security they prefer costly packages because of their requirements is very complex...

Well here is the ping of the server were website is hosted....

ping was around 70..

70 also ok, in india max acceptable is 150 max if it goes behind 150 then the server is behind many routers and firewalls becasue on every router and firewall and on very NOD between the carriers 6.5 ms is delayed.

because in India all ISP are connected through nation internet exchange Noida so it takes some time to route the traffic between ISP's...

this was a uk host with server farm in Ireland..and also ca..
but now i think its closed services..

Hi All,
I have never seen a proud company like net4.
They are the biggest cheater related to hosting and net related service.
On January 10 we have purchased a hosting for our site www@englishlearning@co@in . This is a word press site and before purchasing we have been assured that word press site will work fine on their hosting. We uploaded our web site on Feb 10 and from then till March 10 the site did not worked properly.
Our daily task was to file a ticket and tack with their customer care and that also without any solution. We had a talk with multiple people and even their Sr. Manager Customer Care Ms. Anamilka Mukherjee. But they are all helpless or we can say they are big cheaters.
We lost a huge amount of money in between and finally we transfer our hosting to US server.
We asked net4 to refund back our money because they did not able to provide good hosting. They said money will not be refunded back.
We again visited them on May 10 and ask them to point the hosting to our new HTML web site www@mindgenius@in. They again they will not able to do so as we have purchased the web site for englishlearning.co.in.
I bloody don’t understand that they even don’t provide us proper service and also they don’t want to entertain in other ways.
I am in search of companies or individual who can jointly file a case against net 4 for their unprofessional behavior.
My direct contact no is 9711433853.

i had hosed website on India Links, i did not have much problems with that.

I totally agree! I have had nightmares with them!

Be aware of net4.in ! I would say that any number of times! Their staff are unresponsive, arrogant to the core!

Their objective is to fleece you and make money and ultimate not deliver!

BE AWARE DONT GET STUCK WITH NET4.IN

Yes, Net4.in is really bad. I have bad bad experiences with them. Their support is even bad. In India I would rate Tata Communications as best and then Ctrls.in is also good.

Net4.in is pure scum.
They charged my debit card, then they failed the order.
Their service was crap. I'd to call 20 times just to get thru. Their online tickets suck, they close the ticket without providing satisfactory responses.
After a lot of nagging they refunded the amount in kind to a so-called cyberwallet, which is totally useless coz I'd NEVER be buying anything from them again.
I still have to hear from them about my refund. been a month.

I havent see worse service in my life.

Moreover their site net4.in is so bloody slow n unresponsive most of the time.

Even if this is the last service left on earth, dont go for it.

Hello Admin
admin how can u say net 4 will save you a lot of time, money and energy.
this is a worst domain registration and web hosting company in India.

Seems you've a less technical knowledge and you don't know how to create .htaccess file in FTP..


- Did you ask this 'htaccess" related question to their sales staff?(Sales staff only manage sales related query) :P
- Are you sure that you purchase a linux hosting plan or windows hosting plan?

I think Its a fake review and you're just try to harm their business..


More suspicious: Your WHT Profile location show "UK" then why you purchase a hosting/SERVER From a India?

@ tholethol

I know how to create a .htaccess file and this forum is running very well to prove that. I have been a webmaster since you were running around in your chaddis so I know what I am talking about.

I asked every which question that needs to be asked and their staff was good for nothing.

I purchased a linux hosting plan and had to pay extra to create a mysql database and I still have the communication in case there is a law suit I have my two feet to stand in the court of law.

My WHT profile says UK because I am not a tree and can move around across the globe. At the time when I created that WHT profile I was living in UK and I still have a house there.

Why purchase hosting server in India when my location was UK?

You dont know what you are talking about. I live in India now but this website is hosted in USA... should I have moved this site to India now that I live here? You have a lot of learning to do yourself. Do you even know what the whole internet thing is all about?

Fake review to harm their business? Aap Hindi mein "chutiyon" wali baat kar rahe hain sir ji... Get a clue!

I never said net4.in will save you money and time. I said reading my review will save you time and money by not doing business with this company. Please go through the review again.

@ tholethol

I hate to post this link but just so you know there are others like me who agree that net4.in is not worth your time : sushubh.net/254-net4domains
