[Resolved]  Hostcats.com — Fraud Hosting Company

I purchased VPS hosting from Hostcats.com for Rs.2000. They promised me a 100 day refund guarantee. Now, after signing up, I found that they did not have the expertise or the knowledge to properly setup the VPS. None of my sites were loading properly. They completely messed up the configuration. All sites were giving errors and were loading very slowly. Their customer support did not answer questions properly.

So, I asked for a refund after 5 days of signing up. But, they refused saying that 100 day refund guarantee does not apply to VPS plans even though promised me this at the time of signing up. Their website - hostcats.com - states this fact on the homepage:

"A NO HASSLES 100 day Guarantee.
If you are AT ALL unsatisfied in the first 100 days with us, we will refund 100 percent of your money. No questions asked!."

Not only this, but they started abusing me through email. To add to this, they even terminated my VPS hosting account when I asked for the refund. Also, I believe that they have stolen some of my sites data and files, and used it for their other websites. Hostcats.com is owned by Seeknext IT Solutions Pvt .Ltd and they do website design work.

I hope the above serves as a warning for people wanting to sign up to Hostcats. This is a fraud company and unfortunately, they give Indian companies a bad name.

Pathetic service by Hostcats. Never never use Hostcats. 30 hours and 20 mins is how long my sites have been down... I am receiving frequent outages. Their customer support does not have a clue how to solve problems. On one fine morning, they even temporarily closed my account!!! Stay away from Hostcats.

I am off to find a new host...
Complaint about Hostcats:

They have the worst customer service. Our site has been down for days with no resolution. Left with no choice, I asked them to cancel my account but instead no response for 4 days!!! Then, they forcefully cancelled my account before the month's end even though I have already paid.

I also received a call where they threatened me for payment. If I don't pay, they will not let me access my files and emails.

Hostcats are scammers. Stay far away from these people.
Sorry if any inconvenience happened from our end. Also I hope your real name is Alekh Agarwal.

Coming to your issue, not just us, in our knowledge everywhere you go around the globe you won't get refund for a dedicated server or a VPS. VPS you have purchased from us comes with WHM which we have to pay license charges. Money back guarantee is only applicable for shared and reseller hosting with us. Now coming to our expertise on VPS setup, we have around 23 VPS nodes (Xen and OpenVZ) and around 220 VPS hosted with us. 90% of these clients are long term customers. Above all we have clients from Germany, USA and UK who are using our VPSes for more than 6 months. Note this we have started VPS plans just over 1 year back.

If needed we can provide you details of all mails we have send. Our team was friendly to you in all replies and in your ticket ID CRZ[protected] you can see you have received some kind of response in minimum of 10-20 minutes. First of all you have asked us to migrate data to the new VPS purchased with us that we have done in the first day itself. Later you said you have issues with sites; please note that if you have any particular module to be enabled in your server you have to notify us. We will be doing each and everything according to your requirement as we don’t know what all things you require and what all you don’t require. All modules required for php to make working are enabled through easyapache compilation as it is cPanel server. You faced issue after that also as per your mail, at that time we asked for sites you are facing issue, but you didn't reply with site names, instead of problematic domain names we got a reply from you asking a refund.

We have many high profile websites hosted with us which is in banking sector, financial sector, e-commerce, schools and much more, if we are stealing data from them then we won't sustain in a highly competitive field like Web Hosting. We OWN around 95 servers in US and around 20 in India, so we believe you have completely misunderstood us and should have shown bit more patience in setting up a VPS according to your requirement

It will be great if you can provide us more details on your issue so that we can accept that your complaint is genuine.Please provide us the Ticket ID related to this issue also the domain you have hosted with us so that we can verify your authenticity.

Your site won't face downtime of 30 hours unless we face the worst hardware issues. Which haven't happened in last couple of month for sure. We will be waiting for your update on ticket ID and domain name so that we can check what went wrong at our end.
