Arvixe Review 2016
Avrixe market their shared hosting plan with unlimited everything with huge set of features which is the best in the web hosting industry, features perfect for small and large business users, in-addition personal blog, the service offers Linux and windows server hosting with ASP.net to customer’s to select from, Avrixe provide different type of hosting class and plans include personal and business class which is ideal for small website and personal blog both are considered as shared hosting the only different is the hosting server aspects, which medium business website and e-commerce online store will benefit from the server load and performance, on other hand Avrixe offers Dedicated hosting and VPS hosting for higher traffic website, all hosting classes offer’s free of charge life time domain name if you keep using their hosting service. All hosting plans offer unlimited disk space, data transfer, database and email.
One of the great advantages of Avrixe, they provide new clients a free website transfer, so they will move your website from your old hosting provider to your new hosting plan with Avrixe, this is a great option, it will save time and you can make sure that there is not downtime for your website when you migrate your website. With Avrixe however, there is some limitations of this service, the only transfer only 5 GB of data, if your website bigger than this you will be charged an extra cost.
Avrixe use panel to manage your website on a Linux server, cPanel now is the most reliable and advanced control panel in the hosting industry.
But there are some notable features to help you to develop, run and manage your website, with the free of charge site builder, the site builder options are built in with their panel control, moreover Avrixe provides a huge script library to use and one click installs for a CMS system and blog include WordPress. Joomla and much more, although you got shared SSL and E-commerce shopping cart Support.
To manage your website and upload file Avrixe provide you with FTP access and allow you to create many FTP accounts with different privileges also you have shell (SSH) access to your website, furthermore you can use the file upload manager which you can access through your cPanel.
One of the great things about Avrixe, is the marketing tools and website analysis they provide, with your recent web hosting account, you will get free advertising credits on Google, Yahoo and Bing, SEO service provided by the attraction which is integrated with panel to help you improve your website SEO to gain more traffic and visitors.

Avrixe claim on their website 24/7 phone support, we tried to reach the support for the last three hours, the line was busy and no answer, as well, using their ticketing system, we got a reply after 5 hours with very unclear answer about our website bandwidth, Arvixe also has out sourced their live chat support with a third party company which is a little bit weird. Overall the company has to solve the delay in response for customers, and must utilize very responsive live chat.
Summary
Avrixe has failed this year to be on our list of best website hosting, huge complains on Uptime and bandwidth usage, many complains on support and customer care, Arvixe on their website provide a very powerful list of features but this year the company wasn’t able to deliver. some users also find difficulty in cancelling the web hosting plan or having that 60 days money-back guarantee honored
We highly recommend InMotion Hosting, SiteGround, iPage, Bluehost
.
Having 15 years of experience within the web business industry we never used a worse web hosting company than Arvixe, nor got worse support – even from their so called “Quality Assurance” which only sends us further to their invoice-email which in return does not answer.
We have only Business accounts at Arvixe which cost a lot more than normal accounts and you would expect better service. Here are a few of the problems we had during the last months at Arvixe:
LINUX: Critical security issues with the Cpanel which made one of our web sites hacked, with the result that Arvixe closed ALL our web sites without notifying us or giving us a chance to fix the problem. Later on they promised that next time they would handle it better, but exactly same thing happened a week later, and still no fix to the Cpanel security problems up to this date, which makes the Linux account 100% unusable if you want it safe and not closed every week if you have a popular web site. We could find the cpanel hack in the logs but Arvixe only said to keep our WordPress version up to date, which did not have anything to do with the hack as they could easily have seen if they even took a little bit time to look at the log file.
WIN: Email accounts not working receiving/sending email around 20-30% of the time
WIN: Continous MSSQL timeouts
WIN: SSL disappearing without warning, making the web site offline. Arvixe telling us that we only payed for a few months SSL but the receipt say 12 months and after one week of complaints Arvixe return the SSL to us.
WIN/LINUX: Extremely slow web servers after about a month when they have filled up the server with more users, with Arvixe answering “Here all works fine” even though Pingdom shows slow results
WIN: ASP Components being removed without warning, resulting in non working web sites
Many times the chat support can only “accelerate” the issue which means you need to wait 1-2 months to get an answer after reminding them every week, and with the answer usually not fixing the problem. In the end we have 2 Business accounts payed for 2 years which is about 1200 dollars and can not use them.
BIG WARNING FOR THIS COMPANY!
