The ratings of web hosts provided by the following services are highly questionable and customers need to follow due diligence by verifying any providers' credibility through 'word of mouth' channels. Two hosting providers that we have found in our experience as following highly unethical and fraudulent sales and support practices for dedicated servers include Webhosting (www.webhosting.com) and Concentric Network (www.concentric.com). In both instances, the providers were not able to deliver upon the promised services; their technical support was found to be trivial, if any; and, they continued to bill even after their contract was cancelled because of non-delivery and non-fulfillment of contracted services.
