😃 I was searching for simple web hosting provider which provides some decent basic features but they provide plenty of attractive features and easy to use. I only find some hosting provider like Hostinger, Siteground, Domainracer who provides a variety of features. I highly recommend them if you want variety of features at low cost.

😠 Super slow and mostly ineffective and/or misinforming customer service. Super complicated layout, with hard to find dashboard, unclear pricing, with lower price options hidden. Possibly a good option, for highly skilled web designers, but I would advice everybody else to stay clear. No flexibility in changing hosting plan after 30 days of payment.

📄 Editorial Review

🔃 directNIC is part of DNC Holdings
🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration ICANN registrar

Directnic.com is a US-based hosting provider and also an ICANN accredited registrar. They provide hosting solutions and server management tools.

The company offers the following hosting products:
  • Shared Hosting;
  • E-mail Hosting;
  • DNS Hosting;
  • Domain Registration;
  • SSL Certificates;
  • Website Builder;

Shared hosting packages include a large selection of features, so customers benefit from hosted domains, subdomains, MySQL databases, POP3 emails and FTP accounts.
One disadvantage is that they provide these features in limited amounts whereas other hosting companies include unlimited resources. Shared hosting plans also include easy script installs (WordPress, eCommerce solutions).

💰 Price & Cost


The company offers cost-effective plans when compared to prices provided by other companies. Hosting solutions can be paid by using multiple methods of payment: PayPal, MasterCard, VISA, Discover, American Express, Diners Club International, Bitcoin, Litecoin or Dogecoin.
The good news is that they provide a 30-day money-back guarantee for their services.

⌛ Reliability


They provide 99% uptime guarantee for their services.

🏢 Data Center


The company is mainly based in Louisiana, USA.

✍️ Customer Support


Active 24/7, customers can contact technical assistance on phone, e-mail or ticket support. Customers can also check out their FAQ/knowledgebase page when encountering various issues with their plans.

They are also active on social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), so customers can also write to them there. The company also has a YouTube channel, but they haven’t uploaded any videos yet.

🔨 Control Panel


The company uses cPanel as their administration tool. This is the industry-leading control panel and the majority of people that have an experience with hosting services are accustomed to cPanel in general.

🎯 Conclusion

Directnic.com offers affordable and reliable hosting services for their customers. Customers can also get their money back within 30 days from the moment of their purchase.

They provide 99% uptime guarantee and great support for their customers. Even if they do not provide VPS plans and dedicated servers, Directnic.com is a good hosting provider with well-equipped packages.

📋 directNIC News / Press release

New Orleans Web Host Kept Growing - Despite the devastating effects of September's Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans Internet network InterCosmos Group has managed to persevere.
InterCosmos Group Web hosting provider Zipa (zipa.com), announced on Wednesday it has gained 990,000 hostnames between August 15 and September 15, almost entirely from the registration of new domains. During the natural disaster, Zipa staff labored to keep the company's operations online. Meanwhile, InterCosmos Group domain registrar DirectNIC [...]

😠 just got off the phone with cust serv. My domain name was outdated for several years but they were able to pull up my cust# I was instructed to reset my password and the domain name was still available and that this would turn it on again. Paid the yearly fee and can not access domain. Called back and I asked for a assistance and recommendations and was told to hire a web sight builder. I was told 20 min after I paid I was not able to get a refund. Thanks for taking my money, leading me on with false statements and not offering a useful product. SCAM! They take your money and run! I am now posting a buyer beware on any available web sight with reviews!!!! (Not just FB either)

😁 Excellent registrar
I have had accounts with at least 150 domains in them with directnic since 2001. The service has always been exceptional and the security is great as well. The staff is always friendly and responsive and will pursue ongoing issues diligently when needed. I still say the older admin shells worked better but they are constantly making improvements.

😠 Terrible support, clueless staff.
Purchase an upgraded package, no performance increase. Purchase a dedicated IP, never get one, support insists that you have one when you clearly do not. Remove dedicated IP, supervisor then moves you to a internal localhost address so you are no longer online.

Call again, get told you are being expedited and will be online within the hour. That was over 72 hours ago. I'm still offline. They have shut down my business and are holding my domain hostage.

😠 DirectNIC is hands down the worst domain registrar and hosting provider I've had the displeasure of working with. They double-charged me several times, but that's minor compared to the repeated banning of my site with no waning or notification. When my WordPress install became infected, they simply disabled my account. No email notification, no phone call, no explanation whatsoever. All that my site itself read was "This account is suspended," which is extra awesome considering it is a resume website and I was job hunting at the time. That really looks good.

When I called to complain, I was told it was taken care of. The next day, still offline. I called again and was told that someone must have "forgotten" to reenable it. What a joke. No courtesy refund offer, no apology for lack of communication, nothing. Did I mention they delete ALL of your website data after two weeks f suspension? Even if you've paid a year in advance? Worst company ever.

😠 Directnic.com is the worst domain company ever
They lack the ability to evolve with the times. Look at the site, it's the same site for the past 11 years. They are not hard workers, trust me. If they were, you'd see innovations, better pricing, and most of all, amazing customer service.

Instead, you see a stale site that lacks functionality. A support "team" that sounds like it's just him in his bathroom and a ticket system that is so terrible, the "techs" basically tell you how you are wrong about this or that every single time. They are not trying to help and they do not care to succeed. They are just trying to survive at this point.

Grand Caymans? Why the Grand Caymans? Because the people are so tech-savvy over there or because this guy is a complete moron and does not understand a single thing about customer service or support. It took me 2 years to transfer 10 domains from them simply because their system kept putting my domains into HIGH SECURITY when I was specifically changing them to NORMAL SECURITY. [read more...]

😞 Horrible CS, spotty reliability
They routinely make changes to plans without notification and have a single knee-jerk reaction to any issues where the webmaster may have overlooked an exposure: Shut down the site and suspend the account without any contact or question.

Their customer "service" department is difficult to reach or get a knowledgable answer out of. Don't even bother with the "Live Chat" feature - never once have I found anyone on it, though it always says someone is available, and I have always attempted using it before submitting a trouble ticket, which is about a monthly occurence. Oh, and don't bother them on the weekend or in the evening (you know: high traffic times when a crash really hurts). They're not there then.

I will not post any revealing account information here for fear of retribution.

😠 The customer support is the most horrible I have ever experienced. The people that support you are very inexperienced to the point that every question take a inquiry to their “developers”, or you get the answer “I am the only one around and don’t have time for that question”. If you are looking for a one person show, no support and horrible customer service that are not knowledgeable, this is your company.

Oh, and when I tried to transfer my domain away from Directnic, even when I got an email stating that they will do it, they don’t! You have to exercise the procedure that overrides the hosting company that holds your domain hostage.

I have used the company for more then 5 years. For the first few years they were good, but something has changed in the last 6 months to a year. There must be something about them changing to a Cayman Island Company.

😠 After years of hosting personal family oriented files Directnic removed those files without a whisper. After repeated attempts to determine the cause their tech support erroneously informed me that an e-mail was sent prior to inform me that I was over the filesize and storge limits. I created an email filter for the Directnic coresspondence and assured them no such communication occurred. Fortunately I did not trust their servers as the sole repository for files containing images of family--because they were unable to restore those files. Though I stood by them through Katrina--they dropped me in its aftermath. Now that I have grown beyond their meager hosting options the only thing I'll miss is the time spent trying to convince that representative not to lie about my circumstances and recognize "human kindness and being" . . .
