The post below is translated writing from a post in one of Kabonfootprint contestant’s blog, which intentionally translated to English to thrift content. This post translated with permission from its original writer.

The title is Lanehost Review.

A couple times ago, finally I decided to order in LaneHost (yup, addressed at www.lanehost.com), sorry I’m not linking to this fu**ing webhosting). Actually before I took an order, I already read many negative reviews about LaneHost from WebHostingTalk’s forum. But I thought that was just an old story. Apparently when the services are bad, it’s hard to make it fixed. You folks probably have known this, especially for some ex customer of Indonesian unlimited webhosting and full flash.

At June 21 2008, Kabonfootprint Webmaster decided to put an order on Reseller Package Hosting in LaneHost. Why LaneHost? Don’t you know any other place? There’s other place, but this time I was intended to test their service quality.

Alhamdulillah, after having a PayPal transaction, not long after that I received an email confirmed my transaction from LaneHost. In transaction details it says my payment was done via MoneyBooker. What, moneybooker??? But I did my transaction using PayPal??? Ah…whatever, the important thing my invoice status is paid.

Then, when Kabonfootprint Webmaster tried to entered into their temporal IP Address given to access Web Host Manager (WHM), there’s a little surprised comes up. A new Mozilla Firefox 3 released 17 June 2008 ago, showing an unfamiliar warning. Here’s the screenshot. For you using Mozilla Firefox 3, you may try this IP Address.

Because having strange result, then I try to submit ticket on June 21, 2008. Really nice, their excellent services makes the ticket (status HIGH) is not answered until today. There’s only answered once telling everything was fine, but when in re-confirmed that no other warning from browser other than Mozilla Firefox 3, they not responding at all. Until today.

On June 21 2008 also, I tried to ask for Kabonfootprint refund. Anyway, their live chat help was not online even when I checked in the morning until the day had changed. Another ticket I’ve submitted. But like I’ve already guessed before, until today I’m not receiving any answer about the refund. And very ridiculous when I realize my Reseller package already on cancelled status.

A few hours ago, before I posted this post, Kabonfootprint Webmaster saw their Live Chat which not online for days finally comes online, but Technical Live Chat. Without any further thought, I clicked to have a chat with the technical.

Waiting…

And finally, their technical department’s live chat is also not answering aka died like any other departments.

In deeply sorry, this post I wrote to remind my lost on 4 Dedicated IP Address which no longer I can get.

Fellas, if you not believing what I wrote, please, go to WehHostingTalk’s forums and read yourself their review about this webhosting. If you still have a doubt, try to have transaction yourself with them and then tell the result to me. FYI, I’ve got the information about LaneHost from a friend of mine who have bought a Reseller Package from them. But the most important thing about this webhosting which Kabonfootprint Webmaster didn’t get from my friend that LaneHost support is awfull. My friend must wait for 4 days to get his IP Address which should be his rights. Meanwhile, he himself didn’t experience with Web Forgery warning because still using MFF 2.14.

Now, let us watch this video together. It’s about how choosing Webhosting Company:
