WARNING... WARNING... This hosting company is EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE for HOSTING and their server is very....VERY... SLOW.

Customer Support nonexistent, people (experts) in hosting departments are.. well idiots. They will blame every outage on YOU and tell you that "I am sorry it works on my end".. Host somewhere else

I have my domain with DirectNIC. My nameserver with a content provider. This firm changes the email server with an announcement the night before, on a Thursday, no other notice. My content provider has 24 hour turn around, so my email is down on Friday morning when I awake and it remains down all weekend. How does this firm not give reasonable notice to people trying to run a business! Today contact customer support and the guy tells me I am wrong when saying there is an issue with their outgoing mail server. Great support, tell your customer they are wrong and then he wouldn't accept my feedback that he should listen to customer. DirectNIC also uses a security tool that quarantined large google server due to some single email user creating a problem. I had three clients unable to email me for several days. Appears DirectNIC uses a very unreasonable approach to security, they could have blocked the user and not the few hundred thousand gmail users on that server. Just bad across the board.

fake and scammer website . i was buy some domain he blocked my account . do not buy domain from here . just loss money

I have bought a .DEV domain from Directnic, expecting everything to work smoothly. After the registration I encountered an issue where I couldn't change the Nameservers for my domain. After that, I contacted their Livechat support and the kind Brian answered and said that I wouldn't be compensated for the time loss and they need to contact the .DEV registry for exploring this issue. He stated that it should only be a few hours and I could take that, not a big deal, it's a new extension and there could be issues. I contacted them again around 5 hours later, which is very reasonable considering I needed the domain to be up and running in 3 hours, and then I met Jeff, the less kind and less professional support agent Directnic had to offer. Basically, he was offering no solutions throughout our conversation and was still disagreeing to compensate me. The only solution he offered was for me to wait 5 days for a transfer to another registrar resulting in me paying double registration fee and waiting 5 days, which is no good to anyone, at the end he said sorry and I requested to speak to a manager, then he simply wrote "Bye" and ended the chat. Chat logs are posted with this review for your convenience. Stay away!

No longer a good choice for novice, quite difficult to navigate and requires expert knowledge. Pricing is above average with lower pricing hidden. SSL is not included. Once you pay, you are locked in for a year. Very slow and unrealibile customer service, giving contradicting answers.
