Terrible

Terrible, couldn’t even get my site to work. They push you to switch to paid hosting. Save your time, and just self host that way there are no caveats, limits and so on.

unbearable experience for free hosting

Apart from the fact that the support links don't lead anywhere, the chat in the bottom right corner opens by itself, an unwanted advertisement pops up right in the center even though there's space on the sides for it, and in the security settings (after logging in) literally nothing appears; every time I want to log in I have to do it through "Forgot Password?", because the website decides to display "Login Details Incorrect. Please try again." even though I enter the new password correctly several times, although it doesn't compare to registering a free subdomain; After choosing the desired name, it tells you that a confirmation email will be sent shortly to verify the domain associated with the subdomain. However, it never arrives, and after 24 hours of requesting registration, it's canceled. The domain management panel is empty (although there's an "sslInactive" hidden in the source code), which might prevent me from removing it from the orders, but also doesn't allow me to register any other subdomains because it says "Please correct the following errors before continuing:
You have reached the maximum number of 1 product(s) on the Free Hosting Group in your account." The only good thing I can say here is that the registered subdomain, even though the site says it's been canceled, exists and already has content, but I'm far from managing it (because of the empty panel, I think). I highly recommend using ByetHost instead (which I like the least because of the method for accessing subdomain administration, in addition to some problems with filemanager.ai), InfinityFree (better than ByetHost because of its access, although it still has the same problems with filemanager.ai) or even HelioHost (which has its own file explorer and therefore doesn't have those problems, although its performance with PHP is noticeably lower than the two mentioned) for free hosting

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. I paid with PayPal and the payment was immediately processed, but the hosting service was not provided. I submitted a ticket and wrote to several email addresses of the provider, but no one responded.

Bad experience. They only want your information. The "free plan" they advertise does not exist actually. Even if you successfully register , they find a reason to cancel the "free" part , so that you are forced to go with a paid version ,even for testing.

No service given even after payment

Hello GoogieHost Team,

I have successfully paid ₹2,100 (~$25 USD) through Razorpay for the Lifetime Hosting Start Plan phone number : +91 9515004433 .

After completing the payment, your website threw a 500 Internal Server Error related to send-mail route on the order confirmation page.

No confirmation email, no service activation, and no invoice has been received yet.

I have attached a screenshot of the error and also shared Razorpay payment reference.

Kindly activate my hosting or confirm the status of the order immediately.

Regards,
Ayush Kumar Panigrahi

Beware: GoogieHost Took My Money, Gave Me Months of Headaches

I signed up in February of 2025 for their free hosting. I was then told I needed to move a domain to them or purchase one to use the free hosting. So I moved a domain (and paid for that service). Nearly six months ago, and I'm still waiting for it to propagate. Despite repeated inquiries, the DNS was never properly set up—even though they claim to host it. What’s worse, the information on their website is misleading at best and fraudulent at worst. Support responses were vague, inconsistent, and in many cases, simply nonexistent.
This isn’t just bad service—it’s unacceptable. They've cost me valuable time, disrupted my business, and ignored accountability. If you're considering GoogieHost, think twice. I’ve filed a formal complaint with the Ministry of Electronics & IT in India and notified key agencies in the U.S. as well.
GoogieHost needs to be held accountable for deceptive practices and failure to deliver paid services. Have screen shots to support all the support tickets from February 2025 to today.

Access to my free account was blocked

My free account was unexpectedly blocked, for no good reason. I found the GoogieHost website cluttered with ads and not very user-friendly. Ultimately, I decided to use a different, more reliable, paid hosting service.

If you need any kind of support; don't buy their hosting.

I had GoogieHost is a Scam – Unfair Cancellations!a terrible experience with…

I had a terrible experience with GoogieHost! They falsely accused me of using fake information and repeatedly canceled my hosting plan, even though I provided 100% real and verified details.

At first, they claimed my profile was incomplete, so I followed their instructions and placed a new order with accurate details. Yet, they canceled it again without any valid reason! Their so-called "free hosting for needy people" is just a bait-and-switch tactic. They waste your time, reject legitimate users, and offer no real support.

If you're looking for free hosting, stay away from GoogieHost—they are unreliable and unprofessional. Don’t fall for their false promises!

Distinctive and beautiful hosting

Hello everyone
I have been subscribed to this hosting for a long time and frankly I found it stable, beautiful, strong and connected throughout the day. I mean the nice thing is that the server does not stop and is characterized by speed and stability. They also have a distinguished technical support team where you will not wait long and you will find the response to you with unexpected speed. A wonderful support employee worked with me whose name was
