I've watched this company steadily go down…
I’ve watched 1Grid steadily decline over the years, and it's been incredibly frustrating as a long-time customer. I’m still waiting on a support request from the 11th — after sitting on hold for 30 minutes with no resolution, the email responses fizzled out, and I’ve heard nothing since.
This year alone, I’ve had to log 14 separate support tickets for my websites going down. Yes, fourteen.
Their servers are frequently blacklisted, and firewalls block people from accessing my sites — across multiple networks. It’s not just poor service; it’s become a liability.
I used to recommend 1Grid to others. I regret that now. The experience has gone from reliable to ridiculous.
Not acceptable. Not professional. Not worth it.

Hi Jacqui,
Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry about your experiences with unresolved IP blacklisting issues, and while trying to get feedback on your requests.
This is certainly not the experience we want you to have, and we have taken this seriously.
We have sent a follow-up escalation request for our Team to review and respond/reach out to address all of the concerns listed in the requests, as a priority, as we have received feedback from our Advanced Technical Team to resolve.
Rest assured, the Support Requests have been flagged as high priority, and they should provide follow-ups as soon as possible.
Warmest Regards,
The 1-grid Team
⭐ 1 Star
⭐ 1 Star – Unreliable, Deceptive, and Not Fit for Serious Hosting
I cancelled all services with 1-Grid.com after repeated failures that made it impossible to run my online business.
Here’s exactly what went wrong:
---
🔧 Unannounced Server Migration
They silently migrated my hosting from cPanel to Webuzo with no warning. This broke my live site completely, and support acted as if it was expected behaviour.
⚠️ PHP Downgrade Without Consent
My site was downgraded from PHP 8.2 to PHP 7.2.34 — a version that’s been unsupported since 2020 — without my knowledge or consent. The downgrade caused fatal errors on my PrestaShop store, and they tried to blame me for it.
❌ Critical PHP Extensions Missing
On PHP 8.1 and 8.2, essential extensions like pdo_mysql, intl, mbstring, curl, zip, and gd were missing. These are required for most CMS platforms and eCommerce tools. Support could not (or would not) enable them.
📉 Storage Misrepresentation
They advertise 25 GB SSD storage. My account was hard-capped at 10 GB. Support gave no explanation. That’s misleading at best.
🚫 Broken CLI PHP
The command line environment still ran PHP 7.2 — even when PHP 8.1 was selected in cPanel — breaking cronjobs and command-line scripts.
📞 Support Is Powerless
The support agents tried, but clearly have no authority or tools to fix deep technical problems. Escalations were ignored. No real resolution was ever provided.
---
⚠️ Bottom Line:
If you run a serious business, stay far away from 1-Grid.
Their infrastructure is outdated, their platform unstable, and their management unresponsive.
The support staff are not to blame — they’re clearly working under terrible conditions with no proper resources. But that doesn’t make this hosting service acceptable.

Management has left the wheel
Every time I try to get help from support- it is a nightmare. Emails ignored. 3 hour wait and then call dropped on Whats App.
When you call on the phone it is amateur hour- clearly no management. Canned music over soft instructions that nobody can hear.

1grid are a bunch of liars and frauds who made me pay for 2 fake invoices after selling my domain without my knowledge and now refusing to pay me back my money. They keep on replying to my Trustpilot reviews saying they will look into it but that’s also just lies, they just say that to make it look like to other people they’re managing complaints. But actually your complaint goes into a black hole never to be seen again. They will steal your money and then ignore all of your emails

Excellent Technical Support from 1-Grid
I would like to compliment your excellent technical support employee, Richard van Diemen for helping me solve the technical problems with my web page. Richard was very pleasant and patient to deal with. He explained everything very well and his advice was good.
Congratulations to 1-Grid for having such an awesome, helpful and knowledgeable employee in their technical support department. What a pleasure it was to deal with him, especially when having to deal with irritating and frustrating problems.
I certainly would recommend Richard to anyone who needs technical support in future.

1-grid is an absolute nightmare
1-grid is an absolute nightmare. For weeks, they blatantly ignored my urgent business needs, resulting in a significant five-figure financial loss and the irreparable damage of client relationships. Due to them not being able to deliver even basic webhosting or net stability for WEEKS it had a tremendous impact on my business. Yet they demonstrated a complete and utter disregard for my business and my time with their totally non-existant and non-interested "customer service"
I endured 52 hours of agonizing hold times and relentless re-dialing, while also sending 62 emails (which were either not answered ot filed as "resolved"), a testament to their complete lack of any communication. Calls were abruptly terminated, inquiries were dismissed, and legitimate requests/complaints were falsely marked as "resolved." Their attempts to coherce me into manipulating online reviews further expose their unethical practices.
The company's management structure is shrouded in secrecy, and any attempt to escalate issues was met with plain refusal. Their customer service is not just poor; it's non-existent. They consistently lied, refused to acknowledge their errors, and displayed a complete lack of accountability. From the CEO down, there is a pervasive culture of unprofessionalism and disrespect.
This isn't just a bad experience; it's a cautionary tale. 1-grid turned out to be a dangerous, costly and ethically questionable identity for my business that values integrity and client trust. They operate with a level of shadiness that is both shocking and unacceptable. Avoid them at all costs if you value your business (and yourself). Even cancelling my hosting etc with them was turned into a big song and dance - what a difference it makes since I am with a reputable service provider now.

Requested Social Media Review - Its not good
1-Grid asked me to go on social media to post about my experience and to use the names of the support staff.
Vinzenzo, Pamela and Geraldo all made multiple promises to migrate my domain to a new package. This has still not happened over 2 weeks despite 4 separate assurances that it would be done imminently.
Now their mail server for that domain is down.
Utterly useless service
