The good: it's affordable in absolute terms (caveat emptor - you get what you pay for).

The not so good: limited new features such as domain privacy, complete dns management, and lack of reasonable support (actually, it offers no phone support whatsoever - only via email).

The bad: Customers are switched to a China registrar called OnlineNIC.com (it offers a shell office in California) which has a shady history - see recent lawsuits by verizon, Microsoft and pending with Yahoo...

Now, Cleverdot will not answer any inquiries regarding unlocking customers' domains to transfer to another registrar...against ICANN policy.

Further, Cleverdot's China OnlineNIC is being sued for fraud.

These firms should be shut down and taken to court. ICANN has been informed by many, yet has done nothing to address.

" Over the last couple of years we have been severely let down by Cleverdot for a multitude of reasons:

1. There servers are rarely up for a month straight

2. If there is a problem with a script on your account, they suspend the whole account without telling you. Meaning you and your clients could be without a website until you sort it out which could be hours or even days.

3. While we have been with them, their cpanel has become very restricted. Each week they take something away. For example I have just gone on only to find that our webstats has been removed (for no known reason). I think this is because they keep moving servers and forgetting to apply your original account settings.

I have moved over to eukhost.com as they offer unlimited cpanel hosting for £22 per year and its really fast! "

I love the content management system they have put together on their site. Alot of features for "beginners." Only bad part mysql has its limits.
