What's going on with WHC lately...

I have been a loyal client of WHC for 6 years. I had nothing to say; support was mostly great, but my recent experience has been awful.

Since November, I’ve faced intermittent server issues. My organic traffic has dropped by nearly 50%, while I was asked to upgrade my plan twice — first to a higher shared hosting tier, then to a VPS. Since performance and reliability are crucial for me, I did what I was advised even if my websites were not reaching resource limits and I know I shouldn't need a VPS for 35,000 monthly sessions and less than 3 GB of disk space. When I finally agreed to the VPS upgrade, I had to fight for more than a measly 5% discount despite the ongoing issues.

The migration process itself has been a disaster. Despite specifying that the migration must be completed outside of my peak weekend traffic, I am left anxiously waiting with an incomplete setup right before my busiest period. My Core Web Vitals performance score plummeted from 75% to 33% during this process.

As a professional food blogger and Mediavine publisher, my site is my livelihood. Despite paying for Proactive Management, the new server is showing a critical load of 18. I am now paying 10 times more for my hosting, only to receive a performance that is 10 times lower. I am extremely disappointed. WHC used to be reliable, but they have failed to support a long-term professional client when it mattered most.

Je suis une fidèle cliente de WHC depuis 6 ans. Je n'avais rien à redire et le support était généralement excellent, mais mon expérience récente est tout simplement horrible.

Depuis novembre, je subis des problèmes de serveur intermittents. Mon trafic organique a chuté de près de 50 %, alors qu'on m'a demandé d'augmenter mon forfait à deux reprises : d'abord vers un palier supérieur en hébergement partagé, puis vers un VPS. Comme la performance et la fiabilité sont cruciales pour moi, j'ai suivi les conseils reçus même si mes sites n'atteignaient pas leurs limites de ressources et que je sais pertinemment qu'un site de 35 000 sessions mensuelles avec moins de 3 Go d'espace disque ne devrait pas nécessiter un VPS. Quand j'ai finalement accepté l'upgrade, j'ai dû me battre pour obtenir plus qu'un dérisoire 5 % de réduction malgré les problèmes persistants.

Le processus de migration en soi est un désastre. Bien que j'aie spécifié que la migration devait être complétée en dehors de mon pic de trafic du week-end, je me retrouve dans une attente anxieuse avec une installation incomplète juste avant ma période la plus occupée. Mon score de performance Core Web Vitals est passé de 75 % à 33 % durant ce processus.

En tant que blogueuse culinaire professionnelle et éditrice Mediavine, mon site est mon gagne-pain. Malgré le paiement d'une « Gestion Proactive », le nouveau serveur affiche une charge critique de 18. Je paie maintenant 10 fois plus cher pour mon hébergement, pour finalement obtenir une performance 10 fois moindre. Je suis extrêmement déçue. WHC était autrefois fiable, mais ils ont échoué à soutenir une cliente professionnelle de longue date au moment où j'en avais le plus besoin.
