Remember: Never Use Globat For Hosting

Do Not Consider Using Globat for your Hosting!!! I can not say it clearer than that. If you decide to be a competitor to one of my sites, I still wouldn't recommend Globat to you. If you are my worst enemy, I wouldn't recommend Globat to you. Even though I would get $65 for you signing up to Globat under me, I would not recommend Globat to you!!! As hosts go, they are terrible! Even though they are based in America, the reliability is worse than I could maintain from my PC at home in Thailand. The customer service is simply incompetent. Do Not Use Globat For Your Hosting!
