They are ALWAYS getting hacked and attacked. They charge like $150 for bandwidth overage charge of 100MB while godaddy charges $20 for 500 GB. And I've heard from another site that the owneris a neantherdal who has lied to some customers, and actually CUSSED one guy out on the phone!!!! cari.net blows. I used to use them last year. Their servers are maybe $10 or $20 cheaper than the competition, but their billing system doesn't work, and their custome service really sucks. You get what you pay for, when it comes to everything, even servers. Cari.net’s service is great?!?! They are ALWAYS getting hacked and attacked.

At least to keep your credibility. Elliott Back of PayPerPost doesn’t agree. Well, if I find out someone is getting compensated for what they are writing and doesn’t disclose that it will earn an immediate unsubscribe from me and will probably get a post questioning everything that blogger wrote.

They offer some kind of 99.99% uptime SLA, and I've called tech support twice and gotten instant results at various times of the day and evening. They have a bad rep because they don't care who uses their servers (i.e. spammers), but that doesn't bother me. No hidden fees, as far as I know.

It sounds like Cari.net is good. My main concerns is that other than you, I can't seem to find anyone who has used them except for a person on some message board complaining that Cari.net's 24/7 service is not really 24/7 (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/archive/thread/487413-1.html). Does Cari.net have a good reputation? They seem to be a small web host. Is that correct? Also, do they have any type of hidden fees? Thanks again. Tom Elliott

It's never gone down, except when I do something stupid as root, the service is 24.7 and very competent, and the price can't be beaten! Cari.net so far’s been great.
