But the truth is they are just a bunch off unprofessional retards waiting to steal your money
I am saying this from my personal experience.
Last year i brought a domain and wanted a good yet affordable host i was a newbie in thid field
so i did a search on a webhosting directory and where do i endup !!
at this DTSNET web hosting and after seeing their plans and overwhelming assuarnaces , the guy who owns this thing (he is the Sales department guy\Customer Support\Technical Support)
emailed me 5 times convincing that they are the best in the business and i fell for it

So I Pay for a whole year $59 for the budget package every thing looks good until they refused to give me a domain name as said on the plan description they cited some vague reasons for that.I didn't need a domain as i had one so i didn't make such an issue out of it and I moved on.
The Speed of my website began to decrease by each day until it came to a point i had to mail them.
Ok so I Mailed they didn't reply me even after 3 days (they claim 24*7 live support in the website) So I Mailed again and this time too they didn't reply. And as i didn't have any money left to move to another host i kept on with them.
A week later my site went down I mailed them they didn't reply after 2 weeks they send an email that servers are back online however the webmail wouldn't be functional.
Constant Sever Issues occurred and as a result my site was down frequently hence affecting my flow of traffic badly. Every time i email they never replies back, their Customer Support was so horrible.
After a while my site goes down again and this time it goes down for a month (so much for 99% uptime). I emailed them like 50 times and no response, I even thought they had stopped webhosting and ran away.
After a month and 5 days they send me an email that there was a minor server issue and the site was back online. I thought nothing worse could happen after that and well it turned out to be wrong again, My Budget Plan was changed to an Entry Plan
