😠 I am about to sue these people!
All the negative reviews are true. Plus at one point ALL of my hosted sites just vanished. After days of trying to get an answer I was told that my sites had been "accidentally" deployed on a test server, that had subsequently been decommissioned. I fiannaly migrated all of my sites to another provider and cancelled my account with Uptime, but it's been 6 months and they are STILL charging my credit card. Stay away!

😠 Their customer service is not bad - it is NON-EXISTANT. They are awful to deal with.
STAY AWAY. They can offer to pay me to host my sites and I would decline.
No matter how cheap they are, they are overpriced.
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE support!

Cloud Hosting. Instantly deploy sites.
Web Hosting has changed dramatically over the last few years forcing us to innovate. We've managed to build one platform that really does cater to everyone's needs. Our proprietary cloud hosting that's based on clustered cloud computing technology will provide you the power, reliability & scalability when you need it, automatically, through one platform!
Reseller features built-in
The service comes ready with reseller features such as creation of individual accounts, WHM Emulation and more!
Pay as you use billing
Peak season once a year? Don't want to pay more for it year round? With us, you'll pay more only when you need it!
On-the-fly bursting
Sudden burst of traffic from a media outlet? Your site is powered by many servers automatically!
Simplicity with Cloud Manager
With our proprietary cloud manager, management of your account is made easy.
UptimeHost's platform is based on clustered cloud computing which enables us to provide the fastest most reliable web hosting on the planet!
1. Increased Reliability!
In the event that a server fails within our cloud, our load balancers will automatically detect the failure and send traffic to the fastest available server. This means even when a web server is down, your site will continue to load.
2. It's fast, all the time!
It's common to see server loads in a single-server environment affect every customer due to a few users -- whether this is legitimate traffic such as being listed on Digg or malicious. With our clustered cloud technology, we're able to distribute traffic to several dozen servers to handle the traffic versus just a single-server. When we feel that our cloud needs more power, we simply add another server on-the-fly.
Example: 12 Quad Core Servers and 4GB of ram = 48 Cores and 48GB of Ram available to the Cloud.
3. Fewer Embarrassing Suspensions
Most web hosting providers suspend customers for excessive use, usually following a recent listing on Digg, StumbleUpon or other media outlet. All this does is ruin your chances at becoming successful. With our cloud technology, your hosting account will allow you to sustain such listings and stay fast.
Note: Hosting accounts with malacious activity, exploits, etc will still be suspended in the best interest of the customers.
4. Increased MySQL Performance!
MySQL requests are sent to a purpose-built MySQL server that is built with performance and redundancy in mind. The resources are 100% allocated to performing and serving queries, 24/7. On a single-server environment, this is on the same server that does the mail, php processing, slowing down response times for executing queries. Our MySQL server features Dual Quad Core CPU's, Minimum 8GB of Memory and boasts high-performace 15K RPM SAS hard drives in a RAID-10 array.
5. Familiarity is nice. cPanel control panel.
cPanel is the world's leader in web hosting automation software and users love their graphical intuitive interfaces allowing for easy management of their web hosting account. With our cloud, you'll still be able to enjoy cPanel with the added benefits of our clustered platform.
6. Dedicated Servers? Why? The cloud is better!
Many customers think that a dedicated server will solve all their problems, they couldn't be more wrong! With our clustered cloud web hosting you will be able to scale your account as you grow and have access to resources that your dedicated server would not be able to provide you because of physical limits. Our system will automatically scale with your demand and that's the only time you'll pay more for hosting too!
Take for example, you run an e-commerce store that is busy during the holiday season, which gets your site busy. Your host has decided to upgrade you to a virtual private server (VPS) or dedicated server, resulting in you paying more every month instead of just during the busy season. Sounds unfair right? We think it is! With Uptimehost, your hosting account will automatically scale to continue serving without affecting other customers and then automatically de-scale when the busy season is over, reducing your bill as well. Why pay more, when you don't need to!
7. Sophisticated Snapshot Backup System.
Uptimehost operates a world-class storage area network, which features a sophisticated snapshot backup system. With our service, your data will be backed up every hour and retained for every 2 hours, 2 days and 2 weeks for your retrieval. There is no intervention by our staff and is available to the customer in real-time. Ask your host how often they back up their data for you!

📋 Uptime Host News / Press release
Uptime Host Picks Lightspeed Web Server - Canadian cloud-based web hosting services provider Uptimehost (www.uptimehost.com) has has chosen New Jersey-based LiteSpeed Technologies' (www.litespeedtech.com) Web Server as the platform for its soon-to-be-officially-launched "Clustered Cloud," which could fill an obvious void in the Canadian hosting marketplace.
After vigorous testing on its Clustered Cloud platform, according to Uptimehost's Friday announcement, LiteSpeed's web server technology out performed the Apache web server, resulting in the company fully deploying LiteSpeed across its cloud. Uptimehost marketing and business development director Kaumil Patel said "Lightspeed basically kicked Apache's rear-end."
Uptimehost president Kevin Moonlight said the switch to LightSpeed will help customers will experience better performance and reliability, as well as greater security. "Not only will they see an improvement on multiple fronts, but as a company, we'll be able to reduce the amount of hardware required," Moonlight [...]

😠 I hate to say anything negative about a hosting company (usually I just keep my mouth shut), but I had a very poor experience with UptimeHost.
I was one of their first customers, back when they were in beta, and I had high hopes for them. Kaumil was extremely quick to respond to my support requests. But after a while he left the company, and customer service dropped to zero.
This became a problem when uptime and server speed got worse. I really tried to give them time to improve, but the complete lack of customer support was unacceptable.
I wouldn't go so far as to call them scammers, but they're definitely negligent and perhaps not too scrupulous. I definitely would not recommend them.

😠 I subscribe for a reseller account, since August 10th 2010.
For then, the customer support was speedy.
They never activated my account, the domain I subscribed is stell not yet mine...
Despite all the emails I have sent, no response from their support team.
It is confirmed for me they are a scam company, once your money get inside their account they just say thanks!

😠 These guys are even worse than one of their resellers:
greengeeks.com
Uptime is extremely slow, if ever, to respond to issues including your website being down.
Their "100% guarantee" is complete crap. They are currently around 75% with us and have NEVER offered any sort of financial compensation despite the crap on their website.
There is no phone support, and I finally got a response to my "website is down" email.... two weeks later with no apology or explanation just "hey, we might have fixed our terrible service"
Funny thing, our website just went down again.
We are leaving them this weekend.
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

😠 The level of customer support from Uptime Host is abysmal. Basically impossible to get anyone to answer either a phone call or a chat request. Little regard to the customers satisfaction or the effect of their lack of service on their customers business. When our site on Uptime Host was hacked, there was little or no response. "Help Tickets" are not answered -- we sent in a second help ticket (same information previously provided to Uptime Host):
“My website is having continuous problems. Late Thursday/early Friday it was hacked, and then the pages returned and everything was normal.
But then later in the day the pages disappeared, and the site is still not functioning properly – none of the pages appear.
My original help ticket regarding the hacking was never resolved because problems with my site have continued.”
This help ticket was never directly addressed. Three follow-up help tickets were sent that same day and one of my employees spent a good part of the day [read more...]

😁 I found out about Uptimehost sometime last year off the Drupal forums as I was constantly having issues with my cpanel shared web host. I joined them during their beta testing and they definitely had their share of issues, but that's what beta is for right? During the beat, the service worked better than my previous host, who was going down very frequently and then later decided to tell me to leave or to find a vps provider. Problem is, I don't know how to manage a server, which is why I went with a shared hosting provider.
Since being out of beta testing, Uptimehost has definitely been a lot more reliable, there's more communication and I can see exactly what my site is using on their cloud through their cloud manager. They use cPanel too! I get digged every so often and my site stays up and fast.
If they invest into a bit more support as they grow, I think this company will be the end all of all other cheap budget hosts.

😠 They took down their forums and are now charging $26/month in emails you backdated to the time I signed up. What the hell? When I signed up, it never asked for billing information and said it was FREE until I hit a certain limit of used resources, and now they're trying back-bill me?
Try logging into the Cloud Control panel and you get:

Their phone number, 1-888-817-2944, always empties into a voice mail box, that currently says it's full. No one ever responds by email.
This seems like a scam.

😁 I went out of my way to do business with the owners of UpTimeHost.com. I started with Hostingplex and was happy until they were bought by HostMDS, which in my opinion are lowlife varmints. If you want to see why I feel this way go here: http://www.hostmdssucks.com/
With HostMDS, I went through a month of my site being largely down. I then searched on LinkedIn for Kevin, who was the original owner of Hostingplex. The reason was I always felt Kevin really cared about keeping his customers websites, e-mail & FTP access working. And all for a very good price. Now the support was good but the communication back to me the customer was spotty. But for me, I would rather them spend their time & effort on maintaining their systems than answering my questions like, “why did this go down?”
After finding Kevin I asked what he was doing and he replied he was opening a new hosting company UpTimeHost.com. I asked him how long until he would by up & running & he said about a week. So I waited

😁 Usually I don't bother responding to overt negativity but the above post from Mirdad should not be taken without an antidote...
First of all, Mr. Patel has been professional and responsive to me as a new customer. See the forum, or sign up for a the free trial and email him yourself. UptimeHost is still in a sort of beta phase and they have no reason to run, they have a good service and it's improving.
