Globat Profile

In 2001 Ben Neumann and small a team of fellow entrepreneurs started Globat, following successful web ventures in related markets. During the years since its inception, Globat has established itself as a dominant player in the budget hosting market. Today Neumann remains CEO of Globat.

Company and Services
Globat boasts around 100,000 customers worldwide. It is privately owned, and has its headquarters in Los Angeles, California. Globat's customer base spans many thousands of private individuals, small and medium businesses, as well as large public sector organizations. The company has tried to distinguish itself from the completion by making hosting as easy as possible, and therefore accessible to even those with little or no technical knowledge.

In addition to domain name registration and bespoke website design service, Globat offers two types of shared hosting packages. These are designed to suit a variety of individual and business needs, as well as different wallet sizes.

Both come with a 30 day money back guarantee, 99% uptime guarantee and a whole variety of free tools and applications. Globat was one of the first web hosts to pioneer low cost, high value products, and was one of the first to offer unlimited disk space. The company is committed to providing good customer service and technical support. This is available 24/7 by telephone, email and live online chat. It also has a useful online knowledge resource on its website.

Globat has received many awards. Most recently it was selected as the Best for Business Hosting by WebHostingSearch.com in 2008. In 2005 it was named the Best New Host of the Year by 100 Best Web Hosting and the Number 1 UNIX Hosting Provider by the Web Host Directory.

Amanda Lindemann

When signing up, one of their sales people had made a bunch of promises and then didn’t follow through with applying them. I had to jump through hoops and repeatedly provide documentation of our conversations (which I’m thankful I saved.) Several months after signing up we had registration problems with one of our sites and billing problems. April/May of this year they did some migrations which caused huge problems for us and they were slow to resolve the issues. Our website couldn’t be updated and wouldn’t show current data that was loaded to their servers for over 3 weeks. Then we had problems with one of our e-mail addresses that quit working for over TWO weeks. Our business relies on current data on our website and receiving e-mails from our clients and we were crippled for weeks because of their lack of help. After I had just had enough, I had decided to cancel our service with them and just get a refund for the remainder of our term. After again waiting about 2 weeks and jumping through hoops to get a response, they say they will not refund us any money per their policy. Their policy does not say they WON’T refund your money. It also may be of note the number of reports on Globat at ripoffreport. com. I wish we had seen these before deciding on this company. I would NOT recommend Globat to anyone!
