DesireSpace.com Hosting Review
April 22, 2008 - 5:38 amTo write a review about Desire Space, a webhosting company located in Great Britain, we have to look at the history of Cybehost. Before it opened under Desire Space, it operated a bitterly remembered hosting company called Cybe Host.
Cybe Host was not a very good hosting company, although it did provide great service shortly after its inception in 2003. But Cybe Host took a downhill turn when it played a blind eye to spamming by websites it hosted, and ignored the tons of adult websites that bought its packages.
Not that you can’t host nudity. However Cybe Host had signed onto a petition “People Against Illegal Online Porn and Prostitution Petition” online. Along with such greats as Godaddy and Simplecom. But Cybe Host participated only for the traffic it could possible receive, because it later hosted adult websites.
Support Problems
Users started to leave Cybe Host after it failed to provide support and they became swamped with huge and frequent downtime, blacklisting of their emails and other services. Webmasters sought other website hosting and Cybe Host failed.
The Fake “Bail Out”
Cybe Host wanted to keep the few remaining clients it had left and at the same time attract new webmasters. But they did not want to start over. Rather than starting over, Cybe Host made a smart move that would allow them to earn needed income and lose the bad reputation that had flooded the forums. They created a “bail out”.
Under the scenario, a new hosting company called Desire Space would absorb or buy Cybe Host. The company was created and Cybe Host was merged into Desire Space!
The job was well done. New clients poured in and most of the old ones stayed.
New Clientele
With a new name to push, Desire Space also changed its client outlook. This time opting for middle class webmasters that have some money to spend. After all they found out that cheap hosting means many clients and more support.
Their packages starts at $8.95 with a high of $45!
They also offer reseller accounts and webmasters can hosts 15 accounts for only $20.
Improved Service and support
Under the Desire Space name, they seem to be doing a great job at hosting and support. One webmaster who has been with them for over four years now, rates them well. Plus their bad reputation has vanished from the forums, replaced by a silent watch and see.
Rating Desire Space
Like most of these host review websites, forums and blogs, we must also watch and see what is the new Desire Space made of. We will start them as 1 star.
Overall rating: 1/5
