Stay away - that is my advice. It is just a scam. I was tempted to join because I wanted to use a simple website builder, (for I had no idea how to design a website) and they offered one - but you can only use it if you have an account with them, so I got one. It seems that this vodahost is run by one guy who calls himself many different names so that he appears like a big company. The phone number they have is just an answering machine that directs you back to the website. It is impossible to actually speak to anyone. After a while he started suspending my site for no apparent reason, and came up with all sorts of crap explanations. He said I was spamming and sent me emails that were supposedly attached to my site, then he sent me a file that he said was attached to my site - a file to chase credit card details of others. He accused me and threatened me. I asked him for a phone number to be able to talk to someone to sort this out becuase I hadn't done it, but instead asked me to fax a copy of my passport, and started abusing me. So most likely this guy is using people's websites for internet fraud, and then putting the blame on his clients. This is one of the emails he sent me - just to see his professionalism -
"cut the fucking crap, your a criminal, we caught you and your shitting yourself, what you did can get you 10 years in a very nice victorian prison cell. Do you think you are being clever or something??? You are a fraudster, we traced it all back to your IP address. So send me your ID so I may forward it to the authorties and let them sort you out".
I have since reported vodahost to the authorities, and I don't think he will be around much longer
And as an additional note: It is quite possible that the good reviews are posted by the owner himself

Stay far away from this company

" I just lost 120$ to them on Sunday. They did not turn on my account and they surreptiously charged me 20 dollars on my credit card for what they said was a free domain name.
In the meantime, I had a chance to research them (duh, after I paid). Threads like this
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=405796
I asked them since they hadnt turned on my account and overcharged for what was to be free I am not satisfied (Remember Big Bold Letters 100% guaranteed satisfaction). Figured it was only a few hours they would reverse the transaction.
They break out the terms of service with a lecture about morality.
Crazy to do business like that. Read that thread and the way they talk to people. The owner asked if one poster had been breastfed as a child?? That attitude was seen in some of my exchanges. I am just going to chalk it up to a loss. Dont make the same mistake as me.
Email me at Sydney_stryker@hotmail.com if you have more questions about my experience with them.
No joke, I am really out the money and just happen I found out about them in advance before building a site there. Research them, believe me, its completely unprofessional people and weird too. Oh yeah, I still have a year of hosting paid for there, anyone wants it can have it "
