VistaPrint Web Hosting - A Total Nightmare

5 minute read

Have you ever fallen victim to the irresistible allure of a television commercial? We've all been there, right? You see a flashy ad for a product or service, and suddenly you're tempted to give it a try. In our case, VistaPrint lured us in with their enticing TV advertisements, promising business cards and website services tailored to small businesses. However, what we've discovered about their web hosting services left us in shock and disappointment.

The VistaPrint Dilemma
Countless customers have ventured into the world of VistaPrint's web hosting services, only to find that the experience was far from what they had hoped for. When it comes to websites, VistaPrint is notorious for being expensive, offering limited customisation options and to add insult to injury, they claim ownership of your website, not you.

If you ever want to part ways with VistaPrint, brace yourself for a rude awakening. The shocking revelation is that they maintain control over your website. The evidence is right there on public records: "Registrant: VistaPrint Technologies Ltd." Yes, you read that correctly. VistaPrint, not you, are the registered owner of your website. It's like renting a house and discovering that the landlord has exclusive control over everything inside, even the furniture you brought in yourself. It's a rather uncomfortable position to be in, to say the least.

Our Commitment to Transparency
In stark contrast to VistaPrint's questionable practices, we prioritise transparency and customer ownership. We believe that your website should be yours, not ours. At our company, we make sure that our customers' names, company information and addresses are prominently displayed on the public record. This is your digital presence and you should have full control over it.

Escaping the VistaPrint Trap
Now, you might be wondering, "What can I do if I'm already entangled in VistaPrint's web hosting web?" Fear not, there is a way out, but it won't be easy or cheap. VistaPrint charges a hefty fee for you to regain control of your website. Once you've paid the ransom, they reluctantly begin the process of transferring the website to you.

But there is a catch. Most of the time, the website you had with VistaPrint won't meet the standards of modern web design. Their web builder is outdated and clunky, which means that starting fresh with a new website might be the only viable option. It's like trading in your old, sluggish car for a sleek, new model – a refreshing change.
