I have searched for a number of good domain providers for clients and found BigRock. I heard about them previously, but at the time knew very little about their offerings. I purchased the basic plan of shared hosting and several domains to start blogging for clients (got .BLOG for the same). So far so good with support and availability. There could be more features and the DIY interface when it comes to websites could be more interesting when I compare it to most other players, but in the end, its a thumbs up from me. I recommend it.

One of the most pathetic and unprofessional now a days...I heard a lot about bigrock some time back...and purchased many domains and unlimited shared hosting from them ...this review is after 11 months of using their services....all my websites stopped working under their hosting plan...and they dont have any solution....so I have to reset my Cpanel account lost my all data ... and have to build again from scratch... when reset done...i was moved from unlimited hosting to one site hosting...and cannot add more domains...Once a big hosting company now services are like small time chirkut company...

My first experience with BigRock dates back to 2014 and I have been using the .COM that I purchased since then for my business website. Really wonderful people who understand the problems of a business when it comes to a domain and also choosing a domain name. In my years spent as a customer, I have always gotten responses quickly and their efficacy is just about superb. Pleased with the overall effort.

Really happy how my domain transfer took literally no time :) I got this done way back in 2016. Even for renewals, BigRock is superb. I had purchased a .COM and .IN together and if I look back it was really a good decision because I got both at a slashed price. The support team’s assistance is really worth mentioning. They really help you out with the smallest of queries.

BigRock helped me get my cloud-backed website up in no time. It’s surprising how BigRock being a domain first company is so good with the understanding of cloud hosting as well. I had a first-hand experience when one of their support guys helped me with the hosting and even choosing a good cloud plan. The uptime is good. The Control panel can be much better and on the whole a decent experience with this domain and hosting giant.

BigRock is a really good go-to brand when it comes to domains. Privacy, security, of information and data is taken care of and they really stand by their reputation. Even while transferring my domain I did not face a single issue. The entire operation was solid and smooth. It is very rare that customer support is so patient with these things. Kudos to BigRock.

Never purchase a domain from BigRock and if you still want to purchase then dont forget to buy domain protection services from BigRock. If you will not buy then you will get random calls day and night from different vendors who will provide services like web development and hosting.

In 2018 I wanted to start my own company and as it turned out, since I wanted a store in the US, India, and the UK., (online presence) I thought of getting separate domains, but BigRock rightly advised me to go for a .COM and see how things work. In the long run, it was a good idea to do so, with a .IN also since I wanted to cater to local markets. Their advice really helped me purchase and now make the most of the right domain names.

Review №27

Ive purchased many hosting packages and domains from multiple services. BigRock is by far the worst known hosting provider. Their basic plans dont have any speed at all, they tell you to setup CDN or buy a higher plan. Chat support is fine, most of technical problems get sorted fairly quickly but sometimes you have to wait endlessly. They have absolutely no support for detailed problems. If you mail them, they never revert. They only solve problems in a very templated manner, so if youre doing something wrong theyll point you to the right direction but if you know your stuff and something is broken, good luck getting them to fix. Site load speed for shared hosting plans is terrible, their servers serve images in 10 minutes sometimes even after compression. Avoid if possible.

1)Almost 2 hours and cloud hosting is down!2) Website builder tool , which bigrock says is a third party tool uses most outdated system and top of that shows a server hang-up msg after hyperlinking only 3 files? Have informed many time ,barely gets resolved and the issue resurfaces.3) Only one week notice given before php upgrade without considering request for delaying php. So when we need to rush with php upgrade then y cant you guys speed up your server not working issues?Honestly only sweet talks on calls but no customer friendly solutions.Technical team not doing a good job.But after every call, the executive never fails to give him/her the star rating!Also when u talk to an executive , loud chitchatting of employees amongst themselves is heard! Is this professional?Highly disappointedNeed to really look for companies that offer quality after charging you.Disappointed!

Review №31

I trusted on your service and hosted more than 20 website and taking your service from last few years every time I call on your customer support they dont sort our issues and revert back that the issues is in our code. But i dont understand the same code was working from last few months and suddenly the issue comes so how can be this is a code related issues. Whatever website I hosted initially and they show that there is no problem but after 2 or 3 months it start showing server related issue or session related issues. If there is any issue then they why dont let us know when we host it for the first time. Why the issues always comes after 3 or 4 months. And if we asked for the support from your customer support they dont help at all. This is my last time and from further not at all I am going to take any service from Bigrock. Very much Disappointed

Review №32

Highly disappointed with : 1) The website builder tool that i have purchased over 6 years now. It has always been working dead slow with many glitches so i had stopped updating it just thinking you cannot get anything better for this amount. But now during my renewal again I decided to check if it has improvements, I found that on hyperlinking the third file each time, you get a msg server hangup. That means one needs to type a file name, then hyperlink it and immediately save it . If you dont do this then all your work is erased and you start doing it all over again.Trust me i have done this process for thousands of files on my site! Frustrating it is. I am sure none of the technical team members ever try and check if it really works.Also the upload speed is dead slow. To top it all up, i noticed that they have now started masking file names by some garbage words. This means it defeats the purpose of uploading pdfs to the site. Infact i had retained the subscription coz my urls were visible and it helped me in the ranking. The technical person said that this change cant be undone!. So when we purchased the plan , the feature existed, now its taken off. Arent there better means than masking file names? Would bigrock do it for their own files and folders too? I have my hosting from bigrock for other sites too and have been a loyal customer for years now. But it seems that they are not working on the technical part .The website builder tool is completely ignored with no improvements since past 6 years now. The customer care is amazing no doubt, But technical support , like i read in some of the earlier comments is not satisfactory. I truely intend to upload a video of their website builder tool to let new buyers know how bad it truely is. I have other hostings and plans which i plan to move to a better service provider soon. Highly disappointing. Regret my association with big rock

Very disappointed with unprofessional behaviour of bigrock team. They wont provide you the correct info and would try to avoid their functional error. I tried to renew my domain. In first attempt i got failure error , I again tried renewing my domain still got a failure issue. Then after a few hours got notified that your domain is renewed for two years. This is like being scammed and the executives say you wont be refunded and the domain is renewed for two years. Neither do they accept their mistake neither do they apologize pathetic service.Using bigrock service since 2014 with many sites but with unprofessional behaviour of bigrock team i have shifted to another service providerWorst Service Ever....100% Waste of Money

Bigrock is not certainly startup friendly platform. They never keep backups, If they keep (for few days after order expired) asks for money to restore or download.They never provide discount to renew orders for 1 or 2 years despite few (I had called 3 times) direct calls to renewal team. They will not regret if our backup or files disappears. They will simply say we cannot do anything. They will not indicate that which server keep backup. They never bother to explain difference between cloud USA and India server or other.I am Bigrock’s customer from last 5 years. I can say they are not good or fit to Startup ecosystem. I will recommend Interserver.com, Siteguard.com or Godaady is also another option.

So we had to chat with big rock technical support team.After multiple follow up with their technical team they are not able to fix the issue.I have asked for a refund and its more than 10 days still I havent received a refund .Disappointed with the support and billing team.

Worst technical support! I would not recommend you to host your website on Bigrock.In past I faced email issues, and they were unable to resolve my issues. Now. email quota is full messages comes when email is sent. I have unlimited hosting plan for signal domain but they have said unlimited means only 10 GB space. Anyways, this is not the issue. When I tried to delete email from bigrock cPanel by using a filter Delete 1 year old and more emails. it says success but email space quota doesnt increase. I raised a ticked and ask about it , why this is not working. They took my 1 hour, say try again, try again let me check and finally they said you deleted your emails manually. They dont have answer for why this feature is not working. Now, I realized cheap means cheap, Please stay away from this company.

Terrible customer service. Not comparable with Godaddy. Also, the Cheaper services are fine. Do Not buy VPS and Dedicated Servers by BigRock. There is ABSOLUTELY No Refund Policy. They take your money, and there are No refunds.Their Customer Service is filled with people who have no idea about server or processes. Also, most likely, they have very slow servers, so they cannot give you services for Higher Net Traffic. Small blog like websites are ok. Not ones that have thousands of visitors a day. There will generate ticket after ticket, but Never be able to resolve your Website Issues. You could have the developer that created CNN, or AirBnBs websites, but BigRock will Refuse to Admit they have lousy servers, and that their code updating is atleast 10 years over-due.The people giving 5 Stars are probably BigRock employees, who have been Forced to Improve their ratings.Buy their packages ate your Own Risk. No Refunds and Money Back Guarantee (for Bad Service). AVOID.
