😃 I've had a love-hate relationship with Startlogic but if I'm honest I've had a lot hate relationship with half seven others I've used off and on for years as well. I do not believe that they deserve a 1 though and I understand the frustration (trust me) when sites are down, clients or employers screaming & support not helping or not helping fast enough.

I However I have noticed an extreme uptick in the quality of their tech support people and it is far from the company that they were 10 years ago. I am no longer in business for myself but still host a handful of personal websites and domains. I also think because I have had that 14-15 yrs of being a consistent customer that I am treated better. It shouldn't be that way, but its consistent with every other company (not just domain companies). If you have a long-term relationship then they're generally far more motivated to keep you as a customer. have had them give me special breaks during rough economic times and they've been [read more...]

If you need a real bad hosting company or have the need of a server with memory problems, love to wait in line for really bad support. Choose those asshole. It been more than 2 hours on the phone, they say its normal that prestashop script should take around a day or 2 to complete....WTF

😠 Incompetent, careless, thieves
StartLogic sucks, and more.
They don’t know the basics of web hosting
They have incompetent support staff in India. They actually have never announced that it resides in Mangalore, Karnataka, India.
The support staff there is absolutely worthless. You can make out that you are probably chatting with a careless betel chewer who is a school drop out and who has no idea about your question asked, doesn’t know English in the first place, and frustrates you no end with his guffaws.
StartLogic changes the file permissions on their own. 644 gets changed to 755. Why? They have no answer.
The support staff will easily let anyone in the webhosting panel of a customer by the answering of a very stupid question. Their security in this context is absolutely (ABSOLUTELY) alarming (ALARMING). You can complain as many times but either they will not understand or pretend that they have not understood and be evasive, be diversionary.

📄 Editorial Review

🔃 StartLogic is part of Newfold Digital
🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration

Founded by Thomas Gorny in 2003, StartLogic is a hosting company that focuses on creating websites for small businesses and helping them grow on the web.

They specialize in the following products:
  • Shared Hosting;
  • VPS Hosting;
  • Domain Registration;

StartLogic offers great features that can help customers grow their online business:
  • a series of freebies (free domain name; free marketing tools; free email address);
  • unlimited domains;
  • drag-and-drop site builder;
  • templates that work on any devices (mobile or computer);

Their shared hosting plans include the necessary tools for marketing and website management (Marketing Guides, FileManager, FTP Manager), software support (SSL Secure sever, MySQL databases), website building (professional templates and designs, auto content creator) and email features (POP3 mailboxes, SPAM filtering, WebMail).

VPS hosting runs on OpenVZ virtualization software. Memory can be boosted (depending on the plan you choose, this is boosted from 1 to 2 GB). Servers are only available for Linux OS.

💰 Price & Cost


Their pricing system is mostly average for all the plans. StartLogic guarantees a refund made within 30 days from the purchase of any of their products. Their 30-day money-back guarantee is only available for credit-card payments.

⌛ Reliability


There is no real mention of an uptime guarantee on their website, but there are no actual complaints regarding any outage. Taking this into consideration, we can say that StartLogic provides reliable hosting.

🏢 Data Center


The company is located in Burlington, MA (USA). They have 2 data centers situated in Boston, MA area. The data centers are secured and operating on N+1 power (A/C; D/C). They also use redundant routers and get connected to the world with the help coming from their providers using BGP.

✍️ Customer Support


They are available 24/7 on live chat or toll-free phone line. Customers can also access the knowledgebase they make available on their homepage.

🔨 Control Panel


Website management is controlled through vDeck in the case of shared hosting plans. (Used across all EIG brands)
StartLogic also uses cPanel (like many other hosting companies).

🎯 Conclusion

StartLogic is a hosting company dedicated to helping websites grow on the internet. They offer VPS and shared hosting packages, but unfortunately not dedicated servers. Their prices are reasonable and package technical specifications are attractive.

😠 Steer clear of Startlogic.com
THIS COMPANY IS THEEEE WORST. They do not care about their customers. They pulled my site down for no reason and refuse to put it back up. They offered me 3.99 in compensation towards my renewal. Why would anyone renew with a company that pulled their site down?!?!?1 They wouldnt. So basically I paid someone to put my site up for me, they pulled it down and I am SOL unless I want to pay someone again. DO NOT HOST with this company.

😠 Nothing but problems, There Servers are always down Days at a time I can not access my E-mail or my site. As I type then the server is down, no clue when it will be back online. There price is outrageous and to boot the service is so slow. Often 4+ seconds to load a page! I get well over 5,000 404 Errors every month on content that I know is there and working. FTP is a joke and often will error out during large transactions.

If my site did not have so much content I would have moved long ago.

😞 My gripe is that you sign up for $5.95 per month. Then they automatically renew at $95.40 per year. At the chat, they said "read the asterisks." I read the asterisks and they did not pertain to the monthly fee or the annual fee. What a fine way to do business, relying on misplaced asterisks!

I also get frustrated with lengthy response times when using vdeck.

😠 First off, I no longer host with StartLogic. I cancelled my account with them last March(2010) and last April(2010). I was with them for 2 years and had the same problems all through that time with them, especially with customer service.

I also have very little knowledge regarding websites.....total 'needs 101 Websites for Idiots' book.......even after hosting with StartLogic for two years. They are definently not 'user friendly'.

I wish I'd learned how to search out 'reviews' for web hosts before I signed up with them.

I've been searching for a new web host after my experience with them, and finally picked Hostgator a couple of days ago. We'll see how that goes. I still haven't gotten to use my site yet. Just learned today (after researching for days!) about DNS settings and how to change them. (I registered my domain names with some else so they would be mine, and I could 'take them with me' as it were.) Hostgator custsrv was great on what settings to use. I [read more...]

😠 I have used Startlogic as a testing server for sometime (3years). It was until recently that I decided to host a couple of production ready websites. As i started to load data into the database, the server got slower and slower. I have been emailing with customer service on this issue for about a week, and I have always being told that they are aware of the issue and working on it. Today the sites were down completely (Error 500).

I called customer service and I could tell immediately that I was talking to someone in India, but I played along.

After telling the customer service rep the whole story (she had no clue that I had been emailing with them for a week!) she said that all she could do was to 'upgraded the ticket' -

STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE!

Server uptime is about 40% and customer service is worst than anything else.

I WOULD RATHER GET A ROOT CANAL THAN DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE AGAIN!!!

😠 They will automatically withdraw the cost of the website, but the site itself will not display and customer service is HORRIBLE. They are rude, can't give any explanation as to why you are experiencing the problem even if you haven't touched the site in more than a month. They pretty much accuse you of the problems with the site even though it is their manuel work that has caused the situation. No refund or extension on the site for the time is was paid for but didn't display. Startlogic has many complaints and the BBB has been unsuccessful in getting any response and they are no longer a part of the BBB.

😠 Startlogic took my money without notifying me and then charged me $35 dollars to CANCEL my subscription!

Last week I noticed that $85 had been taken out of my bank account by Startlogic. I called to ask them why and they said it was for website hosting. The website they say they were "hosting" hadn't been active in over a year. I don't remember having signed up with them but with the information they had on my email address and other info, I felt that if I disputed it, I would lose.

So after about 45 minutes of trying to get them to refund the $85 dollars, I finally gave up and told them to take the damn $35 cancellation fee and give me back the rest of my money.

I did not receive any emails from Startlogic saying that my site was up for renewal and that they would be automatically taking money from my bank account. Unlike other website services that I have used, they don't seem to think this courtesy is necessary.

I also can't believe Startlogic charges a cancellation [read more...]

😠 Awful, just plain awful. They have gotten worse every year! They talked me into upgrading to ProLogic so I could merge three accounts. I had all sorts of problems getting this up and running. Mostly the new content worked on new domains I registered, but transferring in existing accounts was a nightmare. When I finally got all the content over, I went to cancel an account and despite their claims it would be taken care of, OVER A YEAR LATER they claimed it was still active and they were billing me! They then tried to say I needed to CALL to cancel, even though they acknowledged MULTIPLE support chats, support tickets, and emails requesting this. Never could get the servers to reroute to the new account to see upgraded content for existing domains. Of course now I'm in a pinch and need to either renew or cancel and while I am working on this, THEY DELETED ALL MY EMAIL BUT STILL HAVE NOT CLOSED MY ACCOUNT!

As soon as I signed up and my money was taken problems started. I demanded my money back as they said it would take 48 hrs for my problem to be fixed. I could sign up with a new host and be up and running in hours instead of having to wait 48 hours for these people! Well guess what. It's still not working and its been 30 days. I did manage to get my website up and running but still can't use the provided software! I have had to use outside software to get my site up. None of their promotional software is worth a dime. You HAVE to upgrade to the paid for stuff! Tech support apologizes well. They have it down to an art! F1 for sorry for the inconvenience F2 for Sorry for all the trouble this has caused you.

😠 I signed on with Startlogic for a year thinking it was going to be a pleasant experience; I even bought the updated backup service they offer. Total $72.35

FIRST: their servers have gone down several times.

SECOND: when I called customer support to ask why their servers were down I got the basic we're sorry line. Okay, then I asked a basic question about using a certain part of their control panel they call Vdek and the girl couldn't answer the question and she told me that I should take my business somewhere else. Wrong answer! I told her maybe I'll just do that and I did!

THIRD: here's the kicker, I canceled within the allotted 30 day time period and when I tried to get my refund I was put on hold sometimes for over 10 minutes and each time I am told that I should expect a refund within the next 10 day's. What a bunch of crap, I first asked for my refund on July 8th. 2008 when I cancelled, today I was told the same story and that it would be another 7 to 10 days, It is [read more...]

😠 I went with them based more on the ease of use that was claimed and the over ratings it had received (pricing was not as important). The one feature that really interested me was the CM4ALL builder and I went with the ProLogic package. I tried setting up a Domestic Violence using them it was the worst it's ever been my misfortune to use. I did not find the builder overly useful and was in fact not the most user friendly package I have ever used. Then the kicker, you are only allowed to create 9 pages with it. If you want more then that you have to upgrade to a CM4ALL package, which was something like $14 a month for what I needed. When I inquired about it I was informed that was true but gosh, they most have forgotten to put that on the package details page. After about 2 hours I tried using the online help, which did not work for the entire hour I tried (using the phone was not practical at that time). Finally, I went ahead and cancelled the account.

😠 I transferred my site over about a year ago when my Canadian hosting company raised their prices. Everything went very smoothly, and I was up and running in less than 48 hours. This time We started on a Friday afternoon to transfer a client's site and realized on the following Wednesday that the site was still on the former company's servers. When I contacted sales and then tech support they told me it was our job to go into THEIR Registrar and change the name server information. When I said that no one had told us this and if I hadn't called we'd have gone down when we shut down the other account, their response was: "Then you would have learned you had to do it." Wow! They are a bit cheaper, but not worth the hassle. I didn't mention having to spend about 6 hours in their chat window and on the phone nursing the whole initial process along.

😠 Startlogic people are pretty nice overall. I spoke to one really helpful tech support person because there is a problem with their server. The server is currently blocked in China. China is a big market and I have a few websites that cater to China. Thus this was a big problem. Strangely enough, their main website Startlogic is not blocked. So not sure why mine and other people who hosted on the same server was blocked. The other issue I had was the virtual folders which was not working. The include virtual files just didn't work but finally after one week, they fixed it. I had written around 15 emails to get the server working okay and then later, the server was blocked and I had to just throw in the towel. I asked for a refund and it took a little work and they asked me to call. Finally, I was refunded.

😁 I'm a complete novice at web-building and I built my site using a SiteDelux template on StartLogic in just a couple of days. The StartLogic support was fast, courteous and very helpful. They went ahead and fixed some things I didn't even ask for. I've had my domain name parked there for a couple of years, and after reading some of the negatives about them, I almost didn't sign up again when I was ready to build my website. I'm glad I did. I have absolutely no complaints so far. (I'm using ProLogic)

😠 Well, I am a customer now but I am also a former employee and things have gone down the toilet since Startlogic/iPower Web/Dot5 Hosting (yeah, they were all owned by Thomas Gorny and all in the same building) were merged with Endurance.

First and foremost Endurance implemented a new billing system and control panel for their shared hosting accounts. This of us with VPS or dedicated accounts have been left out in the cold with NO tech support to speak of what-so-ever. I have wasted about 300 cell minutes just trying to get someone in tech support on the phone but I never have. I have submitted three tickets, sent countless emails and I took about two hours of my time compiling anything and everything tech support may need to resolve the memory allocation issue on my VPS (I am supposed to have up to 2GIGS of burstable memory but that is a joke!) and here is the response I received from them tonight...

"Thank you for getting back to us.

😠 I signed up for the ProLogic plan, was activated and ready to roll in less than an hour. That was the high point of my experience with this hosting company. Customer support is almost non-existant, bring a book for your wait times. 30 minutes was my best, 4 hours was the worst. And when you do get thru, the replies you recieve are lethargic and automated. You'd swear they were using macros to answer all of your questions. The server they put my on was blacklisted already, and when I asked them about this they told me it was my job to get MSN and Hotmail to take it off the blacklist. When I did ask for my 30-day no questions money back quarantee to be put into effect, I only recieved about 25% of my money back, and had to fight with them another month to get the rest. They even tried telling me that in order to get my refund, they would have to become the permemnant owners of ALL of the domains I had registered thru them, even though all I asked for was a refund on my hosting plan.

E-mails are routinely ignored, support tickets ignored, tech help... non-existent. The alleged 'live chat' support has not worked since the day I signed up.

After 8 months the first server abuptly quit working. Phone and chat were unable to help. Email ticket was unanswered for four days. I had almost 50 customers on the server when it went down.

START LOGIC as Absolutely NOT A Good SUPPORT. It is unreliable!!!

People answer my ticke in about 20 days. If you ask. Is a withe horse white ? They answer maybe ! :-) Do you think that some one who answer in this way could give you a good support.

I'm from not USA contry, I asked the support via email, they said me that I have to call them. ... Some one could loan me any money to call from the easteurope in USA :-) !

Interestingly, someone finally pickjed up when i called sales and complained to them on my cell phone. At this very moment I have been on hold for 39 minutes waiting to talk to billing.

Like some of the other folks on this forum, I didn't really have any issues until about three months ago, but since then Startlogic has really proven themselves horrible at customer service. Make your own decisions, but heed the information on this website

😉 I chose Startlogic based on montly cost for a basic plain-jane commercial website with several static pages. I do a fair amount of writing. Most of my website is essays I have written on a variety of subjects.

Learning to use the site administrator portal effectively is like learning anything else on a computer. I just waded in and learned as I went. I mostly ignore tutorials, roll up my sleves, and slog through it until I learn it, consulting tutorials only when I get stuck and can't figure out on my own what to do.

In the rare times I've had to call on Startlogic people for help, they've been helpful and their response is timely.

My site has been completely stable with fast page-loading.

I have no complaints about Startlogic, and am pleased with their serivce.

As a result of their pricing and my high expectations of their service level and the fact that they were ranked well among web hosts, I decided to give them a try. I signed up for a VPS account. Shortly thereafter, I began to experience issues, first it was with the setup of the VPS, this took about a week for them to resolve and actually get me online.

I have always had full control of my DNS and FTP has not been an issue.

In the beginning I have had to use tickets as I was just learning, but received appropriate responses while I was still online. I even called them on the phone and the person was pleasant and helpful.

Their servers go down all the time, at least every 2 months. If you use startlogic, BACKUP your own stuff, dont rely on them, they keep backups that are 2 weeks old.

Their techsupport is what you would expect if you called Wendy's for IT help, Im not joking.

Tech support said everything was working OK even when it wasn't. When I renewed my service I was told that I would be given more space. Well when Startlogic did the "upgrade" for more space they cut my bandwidth allocation and my entire site was gone. In its place Startlogic actually put up an index.html page that had links like "FIND GIRLS FOR SEX". After 2 weeks I wrote their general counsel and they put my site back up. But there are many new problems. The only thing that happens now when I submit a support ticket is that someone at Startlogic closes the ticket but they don't actually fix the problem. For example, with the "upgrade" I lost all of my emails and now my mail account is not even recognized so I can't receive any emails.

I have never see such bad support. I will move this domain's hosting to directnic.com. I have used directnic for years and never had a problem. I would NOT recommend using this host to anyone! I could not find a way to contact upper management to resolve this issue, which tells me they really don't give a hoot about their customers. STAY AWAY FROM STARTLOGIC!

😠 I signed up for 1 month hosting with StartLogic's ProLogic plan. Within a week, I discovered that AOL lists StartLogic's email server as a spammer, and most mail to AOL was bounced (StartLogic support confirmed they have a separate limited server for AOL-directed email so some does get through, but most get bounced with a "try again later" message). When I tried to cancel my account, I found no online way to view my account. Cancellation required emailing their support team, who stalled 4 days in cancelling my account before the automatic renewal charged my card again. Of course, emails requesting they reimburse my card were ignored. I found Startlogic to be unprofesional and would recommend avoiding them.

😠 In June 2005, I paid in advance for a year of web hosting with StartLogic ("Prologic" plan), then cancelled my account after 3 months (September 2005) due to complete indifference on their part to a serious problem with their email hosting (involving, as far as I could tell, a spam filter somewhere deleting various sent or received messages with no warning or error messages of any kind.) I asked for a refund of charges I paid in June 2005, not really expecting to receive one. (I moved my domain to thehostcompany.com, which so far has treated me well.)

The real problem with StartLogic came later, however. In May 2006, I received the first of several email renewal notices, stating that my credit card would be charged for another year of service on 6/2/06. After several frustrating rounds of emails and phone calls with StartLogic, I learned that my account was never closed. The renewal charge appeared on my credit-card statement, and I of course disputed it with my credit-card [read more...]

😠 Beware of StartLogic as a hosting company. They have the WORST tech support of any company I have ever dealt with. They have NEVER responded to a tech support email question EVER. Luckily I haven't needed much help but if you do, God help you.

Their claim of 99.9% uptime is a lie. My site has been down for DAYS and they never reply to email. And before this there have been times (many times) where my site is down for HOURS at a time.

I just signed up with another web host to get my site transferred over as quick as possible. This is the worst webhost in the world, do not use them. Sign up with LunarPages instead. From what I've seen they are a much more professional company then StartLogic is.

Buyer beware, especially with this webhost.

😉 Answers to technical questions (in the form of a ticket) are often slow (sometimes a day or two....or three) and limited in effort/help (1 sentence). The features are also limited and often outdated. An example would be the picture gallery which is several versions old and full of security issues and did not work very well. It is the only one offered. The same goes for the discussion board. Looking back I've sent 6 tickets (questions) and have yet to get a sufficient answer (all with several words to ONE sentence). I leaned toward Start Logic based on the ratings it got for Frontpage publishing, however, I can't for the life of me see how they received such inflated numbers. Look elsewhere!
