Dewlance....

I've had the service for 6 months because of a deal. Had to submit at least 14 tickets. Cpanel License keeps deactivating.... Server deletes 100s of emails..
If you are looking for UK hosting, this is probably not the company to use. My reseller service has been SUPER inconsistent.

No Autoboot?
Seriously, what would u expect to get when you pay $5 for
150GB SSD
extremely overcrowded/oversold server(s)....
OK I am still learning
Yeah, OP you must ask for autoboot if you want to have stable service at Dewlance.
Isn't AutoBoot standard with all Dewlance packages?
No, it isn't anymore that's why OP is facing these problems.
You are entitled to get what the provider promises. In this day and age of considerable choice at low cost you can't validate poor service/performance with "what do you expect for $5".
For $5 I expect quite a bit in 2018 and I get it.
Open a ticket to have premium AutoBoot enabled
Open a ticket and ask to GTFO
102.5% uptime
Bad. Get two vps servers and you’ve got a total uptime of nearly 200%.
This is why they like to oversell server(s). More server(s) = more total uptime.
I submitted the ticket before I posted the review. Its been 6 hours with no response.

Unfortunately, he discontinued it. We won’t be able to use AutoBoot anymore
Edit: Whoops
It's not about what OP is paying, it's about the provider meeting the expectations that are set by the offer for the price. Price is no excuse for bad performance anymore.

For anyone that's not a provider: it's a post in a private section where a similar issue is discussed.
I had a $7/month hosting account with them and ditched it 2 weeks in because of his unprofessional handling of tickets and general feeling the whole thing was run by some child in India.
I upgraded to a wootalpha $1/year reseller and it hasn't been perfect but it's got higher uptime, and I've had a relatively more positive ticket experience.
Dewlance sucks that badly. They are a meme host.
Back in 2012, Dewlance had serious problems. Many people complained in these forums. Everything about Dewlance appeared amateurish. The Dewlance account here on LET said all kinds of outrageous things.
It upset me enough that I did some digging, and found that the owner was operating Dewlance from an address in Delhi, India. I posted the name, address, and phone number of the owner at that time. I won't publish it again, because it has been 6 years. You can search and dig it up if you want.
Read the old posts and decide for yourself whether you would ever trust Dewlance with your money. I would not. Not 30 years from now. Not ever.
@emg
In fact, at one point ShamelessHosts (now down) posted them up for using scammy tactics, etc. It really was a scammy company and there's no reason for me to trust them either.

Woah, this guy needs to be shut down. Or at least have his provider tag revoked. Scammers get scrubbed so why not? Unless Kuntu wants to sue me for suggesting that haha what a moron.
Some people have way to much time on their hands haha.

Ah, the classic "you're a scammer so I'm just gonna keep your money" gameplay...
yeah, I mean it gets annoying after a while having people sign up with ridiculous details (not sure how ridiculous they were in this case), I have to admit that a long while ago, perhaps 4 years back, someone registered about 15 times through the night to bypass the fraud checks with different IP's and combinations of addresses etc, he was politely asked not to do that.
he continued to do it anyway, burning away the stock levels constantly (WHMCS reduces stock levels even if an order is marked fraud) so no one else could order (it was LES), finally he managed to get one through he paid by BTC.
Once spotted a few hours later the account just got closed, I did not immediately refund him and waited for contact.
Sure enough I got some ranting raving email about his terminated service demanding a refund, which because he paid in BTC I agreed to send him a cash refund by post to the address he entered (obviously fake).
He was not amused, but then again, he probably wasted about 3 hours of my time, stopped other legitimate customers from ordering and agreed to the terms of NO refunds and that he understood that the LES products are part of a community project and run as none profit.
In the end I gave him his refund because who can really be bothered to deal with the fall out from morons.
So you know, after the 1000th time of dealing with that sort of crap I can understand why a host may dig their heels in, we are only human and everyone has their limits.
@AnthonySmith
Nah, I just had these bookmarked a few years back because I found them funny
sorry, I did not mean you, I meant whoever took the time to make that site.
@AnthonySmith
Fair enough, though to their credit it seemed to have serve its purpose well.
