Gisol got me for $6300.00

I've been with GISOL for over five years. There were a few outages put they had an easy to used contact interface and those problems were quickly solved. Last year things began to change. They shut down my website and demanded that I pay $59 a month because I was using to much bandwidth. Of course i had to pay three years Suddenly several months later they shut down my website again. It is a business site and we derive part of our revenue from the site. Gisol know this and knew they had us over a barrel. This second shutdown was caused, again, by using to much bandwidth. Of course this was just a big lie but I had to pay them $4,000 to get the site back up and for three years of "unlimited" hosting. I now knew that the site would be shut down again and I would be extorted in a few months for more money. Of course they owned my domain name, we all know that story, and I decided that I must buy it from them. I called and they quoted me a price of $1500 plus 15% plus another $300 they said they had to pay to their registering company (this $300 was a total lie as I found out later they had to pay them 0). A total of almost $2300. I agree. They said I could not use a credit card (wonder why) and I had to go to their bank and wire the money into their account. They told me the domain name would be transferred in 5 days. Guess what, it was not transferred. Through a series of fortunate phone calls and emails I was lucky to get a sympathetic person at their registry to contact them. After seven weeks they transferred part of the domain into my name. PLEASE READ THIS: There are three parts to a whois domain name listing. The registrant, the admin and the tech contact. All they transferred was the registrant not the other two which meant they still controlled by domain name and I could not move it from their server and still had to pay them. A bunch of dirty rotten crooks. Please be warned about buying your domain name. Through another series of fortunate incidents I was able to go around them and have everything put into my name. I am convinced if I had asked them to put me in as the admin and tech they would have asked for another $2300. The domain is mine now and I have moved the website to a company where I get the same unlimited package for $9.00 a month versus the $159 that Gisol extorted me for. Please be warned. I lost $6300 from them. I looked them up and they have lost over 700 clients since Jan 2010. Their policy, since they are not getting new business (suckers) is to extort money from their existing clients whose domain names they own. My nightmare with Gisol is over and I've learned a valuable lesson. I'm just lucky I got my domain name from these crooks and liars.

These people are crooks!

We've been using GISOL for several years now. Then when it was time for renewal they said that we needed to upgrade because a lot of people were accessing the site and the bandwidth is over what we originally contracted for. It's a small website for a community organization! So we pay the extra $2000 in order to keep the site with a guarantee that if we keep it for at least 8 months, we can then discontinue the service. Now that I am calling to discontinue, they are telling me there are no refunds - and though they can find the payment, they don't know who I spoke to!?! Such crooks!!!!!!

Gisol.com told to get lost!

After one year of a three year contract with this web host I was informed by Email that my website had been suspended. This occurred without any previous warning! My reply email to ask the reason simply said that I should contact the admin office by phone which I did. The person answering the phone gave the reason that I had exceeded my bandwidth limit.
He then offered me the chance to start a new three year contract and restore the visibility of my websites immediately if I paid the sum of 1400 British Pounds. I asked if monthly payments were availablle but this was declined. He told me that if I did not pay this amount then he would terminate my contract (which still had two years to run) and that he would not release any of the domain names for me to host them elsewhere.
As the package I purchased from them ($898) offered an unlimited number of websites to be hosted I had six websites hosted by this supplier.All of these now show a notice "Account Suspended".
As I knew (and of course Gisol.com knew) that I would soon be receiving complaints from my customers of these websites I felt as though a gun was being held to my head to pay up.
I decided not to submit to this pressure and told Gisol to get lost!

This was ... AWFUL

Imagine, i had 3 website in 1 account that i payed for 3 years (UNLIMITED)
Never had problems
then last year in september they just cancelled my account for non payment (had no warning of this)
So i had to pay in 3 days to be able to transfer my website from 1 username to a new one (1000 euro for 3 websites for another 3 years)

And then the BEST is now in april 2010 after 6 months of paying 1000 euro ... they suspend my account for BANDWITH EXCEEDING !!!!
How the hell can you have that to an unlimited account?

And then i call them and VERY RUDE AND IMPOLITE they tell me that there is unlimited disk space, emails, but not bandwith.On the website says unlimited DATA TRANSFER but they tell me this offer wasnt like that back in september.

Its impossible !!!

And then THE WORST is that they ask me 900 dollars for the exceeding data transfer. I only have 2 websites, one of a little club in Brussels and one of a restaurant in Romania on it.
so how the fuck to make 900 dollars worth traffic with that?

And then again i live in belgium ... they are in the us ... i cant even sue them for 1000 euro :( i would lose more to do it.

Its awful ! I cant believe it

I dont know where i should complain, what I should do but this is really really ripping off and cheating people.

But its a good lesson ! I would NEVER get any products from that stupid US. There might be good things out there, but i cant believe they can let such a crap company make so much money by cheating the people.

SO STAY WELL AWAY FROM THIS CRAPY COMPANY

White collar crooks

I don't want to continue with you. I am already facing problems because of your stupid decision.

You are charging 10 times more than any other provider and not even giving 10% of service.

You have taken more than $1700 for unlimited space and domains for three years (Valid upto April, 2011). And now you stupid people blackmailing me for hundreds of dollars for one domain name renewal. If one domain name is expiring in next 30 days, suspending total account is totally a mad thing.

Theives are better than you people.

Today I read reviews on your company in google. What a horrible company you are having. You people are just white collar crooks.

Good bye to stupid crooks.

DON NOT SIGN UP!!! WORST COMPANY EVER!!!

I LOST $1800 !!!! THEY ARE CRIMINAL!!! THEY GOT YOUR MONEY, GIVE YOU FALSE INFORMATION ON THE PHONE BEFORE TO GET YOU SIGN UP THEN THEY DON'T PROVIDE THE SERVICE!!

THEY DON'T REFUND ANYTHING!!!! and tell you it's ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

THEY DROVE ME CREAZY!!!! THEY SUSPENDED MY 3 YEARS PAID ACCOUNT AND DON'T WANT TO ACTIVATE IT ANYMORE!!!! I LOST ALL MY MONEY $1800!!!!

MAN THEY ARE CRIMINAL!!!! I TRIED TO GET A CHARGE BACK!!! BUT THEN THEY CHARGED ME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO FRUSTATED AND LOST SO MUCH!!!!

Gisol scam

GISOL criminals should be prosecuted and punished for terorizing and blackmailng their clients. DNS Spoofing (Malicious Cache Poisoning) is criminal activity.

The investigation showed solid evidence of DNS cache poisoning.

Using cache poisoning to divert internet traffic is a serious federal offense.

Horrible Host

At first I was satisfied. Then they got incompetent and even deceitful. My site kept going down, control panel icons didn't work, inquiries weren't responded to, and the representatives (when you could get one) were downright rude. I've ended up losing over $200, but, considering some of the other stories I've heard about them since, maybe I should count myself lucky that it isn't more.

Biggest Pro: None
Biggest Con: Deceitful

Fraud, Bait & Switch, Coercion

misleading advertisements:

... "unlimited"
... "$9.95 per month"
... "price NEVER GOES UP"
... "NO HIDDEN FEES"

I only wish now that I had checked them out with the BBB and ripoffreport.com BEFORE I lost $1,800

STAY AWAY FROM GISOL.COM (GLOBAL INTERNET SOLUTIONS)

After a year of very poor hosting with Gisol, they closed my account and made my domain go into redemption. They told me I could get my domain back if I paid $42. They would also refund me $87.

THEY CHARGED MY CARD $718!!!!!! They tried higher amounts!

I have not got control of my domain as they own it and it is in redemption.

Do a web search for "Gisol Sucks" or "Gisol FRAUD".

They have done this to 100s if not 1000s of their customers. Stay away!!!!!!

Biggest Pro: Absolutely none!
Biggest Con: They charge as much as they can to your card! Fraud!
