Hello, welcome to AlternateHosting! AlternateHosting was created to be the best in the market, AlternateHosting was built and created by gamers for gamers, taking on board every single bit of advice we have been given along the way. AlternateHosting is a company which sells at a very low price with very great quality!
A Few Things Our Servers Offer:
US Based Servers
DDoS Protection
Multicraft Control Panel
One Click Install Plugins
MOD / Custom Jar Support
24/7 Support
FTP Access
INSTANT Account setup with our automated system have your server setup within minutes of ordering!
Pricing:
Starting at just $2.00 per month for 512MB and then $4.00/GB we offer one of the most low cost services in the minecraft community! We offer high quality next generation hardware for such a low price, it's unbeatable!
You seem to be missing quite a few things on it, however. You like to talk a lot about the company itself but it is missing some vital information, such as the server specs, where it is located, and how much DDoS protection there is(if any). Maybe you could create a page with all the different features on? That would be quite nice, because most people like to know about the server itself, and not just the company. I currently don't really see a reason to go with you instead of someone else.
Good luck with your company,

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely add information about the server specification, our servers consist of E5's, E3's and 5520's. You would go with us instead of someone else simply because of our pricing, we are affordable hosting on a great network with an easy to use panel. We are a simple hosting company made to help people in there hosting needs.
Hi Haze here and I am making a review of this hosting company.
I really do enjoy this hosting company, they're nice, they're support system is amazing and the server qualities are amazing!! The best thing about their amazing services is the fact that they are CHEAP!! I would definantly refer this hosting company to ANYONE who needs an affordable, good quality hosting company.

Late reply to this, sorry.
I have fixed a few things up lately, DDoS Protection is a feature, located in the US as stated exact location Kansas. I may try and get that page done you suggested, seems like a good idea, all depends on how much time I have to spare.
I love the support. They were quite helpful when I was trying to ask for the specifications by threatening to ban me from all of the servers created by clients. Except, they were even better than that. Who would've thought? I then proceeded to ask several other times with different variations of that question because apparently, I don't know what a question is! Man, these guys are great. I first get threatened that they'll ruin their client's experience by banning me and anyone who goes against them as well as being corrected as to what is and isn't a question in their handy-dandy book of life's answers.
Don't believe a bloody thing I've said? I wouldn't but sadly it's quite true and can all be found here. Yea, I even made a little log and it won't come down until I've been given the answers we all deserve. It's a shame it had to end like that, but in the long run, it was worth it for the benefit of the Minecraft Forums community we have here. Justice will be served.
A minecraft forum post has never made me laugh the S*** out of my self!
But in all seriousness I fully intend to test them to there limits. A full fledge review is coming!
Limits were tested, and limits were broken. On that same note, apparently one of my 30 Minecraft usernames has been banned when I never told them a single one. I find it quite cute.

Hello, I would love for you to get your facts straight before posting here, posting comments like this to try and bring us down and to attempt to stop our company growing is highly immature, we as a company are proud to claim the fact that all of our clients are happy with the service we provide, despite you threatening to DDoS our servers (Which he has got no idea what datacentre we use) and claiming you know everything about a company from first glance shows how "professional" you are. So considering them facts, you are a minor problem to the company and we would love for you to stop coming onto our livechat and harassing the company and the employees of the company.

Would you mind providing specific chat logs where I "threaten" to DDoS you? The only time I've been on your website was with the chat log provided here. Any other references you're making towards me are invalid as I do all of my research and know what I'm being provided as a service. More specifically to back track, if you look closely in your live chat software, you'd notice that both chats are from very distinct locations as I know my friend had personally gone on your website as well to see what they could dig up. Before you waltz right in and create false accusations, please, get your bloody facts straight. Now, on to my next point.
I do -in fact- know every little bit about your company. Quite frankly, I know more than I really should be able to know partially because your website is not, by any means, secure whether it be via SSL or some other form of security. If I truly wished to engage in illegal activities right now, your hardware would already have been offline several days ago when you threatened to ban me on client servers (which shows you're not professional) for merely asking simple questions. Still, you have not provided us, the Minecraft Forums community, with legitimate answers about your kiddie company as requested by myself, my friends, and many other possibly anonymous sources I don't know of at this exact point and time. Also, upon doing just a "bit" more research, you don't have all that many clients. Generally, hosts this early on don't, especially after I have say in that matter and can easily provide them with several reasons to choose a different host over you.
To wrap things up, yes, I am trying to bring this sham of a company down as I wish that people had done this for me when I was first getting into starting a server. Nobody should have to deal with a host who says all of the right things yet can't provide a single one of them. You are the same way. A host should be able to provide the client with the information they deserve instead of lying to that client when they go out and find it themselves. This company should be avoided in all possible circumstances as nobody needs to deal with the loss of data and players when you (AlternateHosting) go running off with your supposed "profit" in several months. I have a saying along the lines of "No matter what they say, they'll never truly provide it." and that applies directly towards you all.
If you'd like to correct yourself, send me a PM or even add me on Skype and we can chat a bit about this situation in private. Accuse me again, you'll find that this thread is reported as well as a drop in clients. I'm not some kid you can throw around like trash but nice try.
We have every right to post and criticize your hosting "company". After reading previous postings I decided to try out your live chat.
I began the conversation as a jerk stating, "Why do you use sh**ty re-seller?" Yes, I understand this is a completely rude way to talk to someone and is a horrible way to treat anyone. The chat went downhill from there. The next response was in a slightly professional manor. "Please refrain from using improper grammar and foul language." From then on I was insulated about being an idiot young kid with no education and no grammar mechanics. If you going to run a livechat team and a client/ potential client is rude you should do everything to change there view and keep them from being irate the rest of the conversation. It just makes you and your company look horrible.
I hate to be so bluntly rude but I doubt you will make it in the Minecraft hosting world. Your customer support is horrible, you have a very unattractive website, basic panel and WHMCS billing panel, and along with all of that you have no unique aspect to give you an edge in, the already hard to make it in, Minecraft hosting world. There a thousands upon thousands of Minecraft hosting companies out there and you along with a good chunk of them will crash and burn. Its a sad but true reality of the Minecraft Hosting world; if you want to make it you need a unique aspect. Weather it be wonderful support, custom control panels, great low prices, or a combination of them all.
You and your support team are completely unprofessional and threatening anyone is not the way to go around promoting your business. But I already believe you will not exists in a few months so I will not worry to much. Good luck running what ever this is.
Best of wishes,
Parker.
May I ask which member of our staff you spoke to? If you are rude to someone you should expect rude comments back sir. To be honest, livechat agents aren't there to be 'tested' they are there to assist clients and potential clients and to be honest if someone started a conversation with me saying "Why do you use sh**ty re-seller?" (We don't re-sell by the way.) I would most likely refund the client and terminate his service and account.
Thanks for the feedback however,
Okay so everyone that is posting has their points as-well do I. Well for starters your subdomain for your panel was not hard to find(panel.alternatehosting.net)(not saying you were hiding it). Also that subdomain redirects to: 69.61.11.82. Which is registered to: Cyber Wurx LLC or fgservers. Oh one more thing ("Which he has got no idea what datacentre we use") If anyone with a little google search knowledge would of been able to find what your panel leads to.
- Not a hate comment just informing everyone.
Thank you so much,

It leads to 'Cyber Wurx' because that is the datacentre we are in.
