A search of Google, using the search terms "webcountry.net" or "1dollarhosting.com" (another website owned and operated by Web Country), will display a flood of many complaints written by former clients of this service, Typical of these complaints is the following sampling:
From http://www.funphone.com/webcountrysucks.html
comes this partial assessment of Web country. There is much more at the above link.:
"Misleading Advertsing, Illegal Billing Practices
These two businesses are run by the same unscrupulous con-artist, Philip Shapiro, AKA "Evil Phil."
Phil also owns Philco Inc and Philcopaymentsystems.com, which handle billing for these two sites.
There are hundreds of complaints about webcountry.net and 1dollarhosting.com on the web, and new ones appear almost every day. There are many very unhappy customers over at siteownersforums.com, with a long list of complaints, including rude and abusive customer service, threats, overbilling, refusal to honor requests to cancel service or move a domain, and many more."
And from this website - http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1905264
comes a blog entry entitled "Webcountry & 1DollarHosting.com Hosting Gets An F From BBB"
"I signed up with them a while back. Within 1 week, my account was hacked and my website was removed. I had a terrible time with support, and filled out all the cancellation documents needed. I confirmed this cancellation with tech support and moved my website to a different web host.
About a year later, I get a bill for services. Again I contact them to say I had canceled. They say they will send this to collections if I don't pay for 1) another year of service at $12 and 2) $25 to reactivate my account. I forward them my cancellation notices and they accuse me of fraud. Long story short, they DO send this bill for $37 to collections. It took me a few months to dispute this off my credit report."
Another complaint is as follows.
From the web site at http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/webcountrynet-c14195.html
is the following:
"So here is the best part, after leaving their company, 6 months later I received two charges on my credit card. After getting a hold of them, they decided to refund the smaller amount of 35 dollars but refuse to refund the larger amount of 59 dollars. They claim I never filled out the right form, so they didn't know if I really left their hosting service. I guess all the emails and going around the proper channels of getting my authorization code was not proof enough that they sucked and I wanted to leave.
So I filled a dispute with my credit card company, cause I have all the paperwork showing that in fact I left back in January and they simply refused to let me know what I needed to fill out so I would not be charged in the future."
