Worst Web Hosting Companies
Streamline.net is one of the largest web hosting companies in the UK, and proudly advertise their services as 'web hosting made easy'. It certainly is easy to be lulled into a false sense of security, with a nice flashy website, reassuring customer testimonials and all year round special discounts. However, if you make the mistake of taking up the three month free trial, you might be in for a nasty surprise unless you diligently read all of the small print.
Cancellation is difficult it needs to be done one month in advance, and needs to be submitted via the online support ticket system and also via the premium rate phone number. Streamline.net justify this by saying they need to confirm sensitive details' which can't be taken over email. If you don't manage to cancel in time you'll be signed up for a year with the most premium package. When asked why customer weren't automatically signed up for the base level package rather than the most expensive one, Streamline.net refused to comment.
