I just wanted to relay my experiences with using P4Host.com. I had a website with them for almost 5 years. While traveling out of the country my domain name registration expired (friends alerted me to the problem). I was unable to get to internet access to renew my domain name. Kevin Vu the owner of P4Host (the one and only time I had been able to reach them by phone in 8 years of service) volunteered to relay my credit card information and get it taken care of. He just wanted a faxed letter authorizing him to renew it for me addressed to my domain registrar.
Lo and behold! He transfered the domain into his name. After 2 more years of degrading service and spammers using his servers (causing my mail server to get blacklisted several times) I decided to change hosts. This is when I found out he had put my domain (sailsarana.com) into his name. He refused to respond for over 1 year to my requests to give me the Auth Code to transfer my domain and change the name server locations because he knew I was leaving P4Host.
Finally I abandoned my domain name. I tried to contact him probably 20 times and filed 2 complaints with the BBB (that went unanswered). I had to take out a new domain name and wait for my old one to expire. After another year of waiting for my original name to expire, I was going to buy it back. But just to be spiteful, Kevin RENEWED it! Incredible!
So if you go to my old domain sailsarana.com you'll get an account suspended message (which isn't quite true because I paid every bill). He has been hosting my suspended account for over 2 years now and collecting any incoming email to that domain. Since I had that domain for almost 8 years there is no telling what personal email he might be getting.
Kevin at P4Host still refuses to respond to any tickets, emails, or phone calls. He also refuses to respond to any BBB complaints (and there are several).
I'm not the only one who has had their domain taken by this shady character. See these other reviews of this HORRIBLE business:
