| Beware this company is a Fraud their address is false and company as pissed off said they take down you're sites without notice. I have a lawyer trying to track the down.
All information on their site is not true, address PO box not office.
I have 44 websites stuck on their server they are refusing access to remove them to new servers, they slander people.
Mike is the only employee it's a reseller account from softlayer, they were useless when i asked them to realease my data.
KEEP WELL CLEAR IF YOUR DON'T WISH TO LOSE MEGA BUCKS. |

| I have had a reseller account with WestNIC for several years, but will soon be migrating to another provider. They have a tendency to make unannounced and unscheduled changes, which frequently causes severe customer issues. Yes, I use shared servers, and yes, they say that the changes are to prevent hacking or other abuses. But with NO NOTICE at all, their resellers have no way of accommodating these changes. I have been unhappy with them for a while, and the latest adventure has put me over the top. I'm moving to another provider, GODADDY.COM |

I signed up for shared hosting about 3 years ago. I never had a problem. Yes I noticed short downtime for about 30 minutes in August but it was a network issue within theplanet data center. I heard new reseller and semi dedicated accounts being placed on brand new servers in new york and pennsylvania dc. I going to get secondary business account with westnic east cost!
Many thanks to Russel, Mike and Jeff! These guys are always there when you need ANY assistance.
I wish all the best. |

While they offer a fantastic package for the price, they seem to have no regard for their customers. They constantly disable features without notice, explanation, or alternatives.
A recent server upgrade placed new index.html pages on all our domains resulting in visitors seeing an under construction page instead of our home page. One line telling us of this in the e-mail announcing the upgrade would have saved us a lot of grief.
The AddOn domains function was removed from the control panel. This caused all our AddOn domains to appear to no longer exist when someone tried to visit them. A simple e-mail to us would have allowed us to make other arrangements for these domains.
The Catchall Mail feature was removed from the control panel. We had unfortunately enabled this feature, and now could not disable it. Again, a simple e-mail to us would have allowed us to act before it was removed.
Our Formail script was disabled without notice, leaving our clients no way of contacting us. It looked as though the form was sent correctly, but the information was not being e-mailed to us.
Again, a simple e-mail informing us of their intention to disable Formmail would have allowed us to make other arrangements.
The people in their e-mail only customer support service seem to be very nice guys. (Phone customer support is reserved for server crashes only).
However, this company seems obvious to the problems their actions cause their customers, and their customer service just stops responding to repeated requests for help, or just changes the topic.
For example, it took a week of help requests before they finally told us that they had deliberately disabled formmail. Requests for an approved alternative have so far been unanswered.
If you have the type of vanilla account that never requires more than basic customer service and does not use advanced features like form mail, then this is an excellent company, with unlimited domains, and lots of disk space and bandwidth.
However, if you will be hurt by features suddenly being disabled without notice or recourse, then I suggest that you look somewhere else for a host. |

I have used Westnic for just over a year now. I recently stopped receiving multiple subscribed to e-mails from a particular web site. It has been three weeks since then, at least a dozen e-mails, way too much wasted time and a lot of frustration before they finally admitted to me that they filter e-mails. I knew from the beginning that this was the issue. However, since I relied to their admission asking for them to check if they are blocking these perfectly legitimate e-mails, I was told that we can't keep going around and around on this issue, that it was just one "freaking" server (although I have no way of knowing what other e-mails I am not getting) and that they were going to close this ticket as resolved.
I cannot say how flabbergasted I am. My guess is that this is a very small company. They have no professionalism (or customer service) whatsoever.
I will be switching to a company that has actually customer support phone numbers. I would rather talk to some dude in India with a script than exchange e-mails with some idiot who apparently has no accountability.
But that's just me. |

I've been with WestNic for a while now and totally satisfied with the service. Servers are fast and support is great. Particularly I want to thank Russell for his quick and accurate responses.
Keep up the great work! |

I am currently in process of transferring my accounts someplace else.
They were nice once they started, but now it's more of a horror story. I second everything that's been already said here. They do what they please and have total disregard for the customers, are understaffed, oversold, unprofessional and rude to the point of being offensive. As much as I hate to change things once established, I can't stand it anymore.
Stay away! |

It's a travesty of a company with ridiculously inefficient and inept attitude. The 99,9% uptime is a blatant lie. Recently they moved lots of accounts to a new server without any notice whatsoever and during this unannounced transition wiped all mail forwarding settings out, which then needed to be reinstated manually. Guess how many clients I've lost after that. No apologies from Westnic except usual arrogance and disrespect. If you paid a year in advance and want to get out, there is no way in hell they would agree to refund you. Don't make same mistakes and look somewhere else.

| Westnik reseller is here! I was about to move my reseller account and then received an upgrade note. My accounts were transfered to new private labeled server about month ago. I didn't notice a thing. I asked about private labeled support (email,phone, online desk) few years ago and finally got it. Oh, I forgot to mention that they provide free security tools for ecommerce, email and many free dedicated IPs! I am more than happy! |

| I am very happy with westnic. I have a reseller account with them. I am very happy with the kind of customer support they provide. Tickets are answered within minutes and if something is wrong there is Russel to help. Most important of all, westnic is best for seo as they procide many dedicated IPs and also class-c ips. Other hosts charge extra for these, but westnic doesn't. |
