Thanks for the response, but I don't think I will try HomeShop18 anymore.
Yes you can buy expensive products also. As far as possible, stick to items that are delivered by Amazon itself (marked as 'Fulfilled by Amazon').
Dear Fair800, you can complain against the distributor either in writing (at http://webapp.indianoil.co.in/paribhavam/) or by phone (at toll-free no. 1800-2333-555).
@ameenmca Before posting your comment, I wonder if you saw that the review was written in 2009? Do you think I am a god to know what will be the policy after 5 years??
@Horned_Owl - I will be the last person to buy a ULIP from anyone! I never mix insurance with investment. The Click 2 Protect is a pure term insurance plan from HDFC Life. Sure, I will update my review as and when there are updates. Thanks for your comment!
Yes it's resolved. Thanks.

Silly reason to go away from BigRock. Doesn't seem like a genuine review.
(Updated Jan 29, 2013)
It seems like there is a concerted campaign by paid spammers against certains brands such as Bajaj Allianz, Standard Chartered, etc. on MouthShut_Official. By creating fake profiles and posting negative ratings and comments against certain brands, these spammers are attempting to devalue certain bra read more...
Hello BigRock Thanks for your reply. My problem with the Starter Plan is not related to disk space. It is related to monthly bandwidth limit. A 1GB monthly transfer limit is extremely low for anyone to consider even cheap paid hosting. And your Starter Plan isn't cheap! So please consider increas read more...

No precise details given as to why BigRock is not good. I am hosting my site with BigRock, and while it isn’’t great, it’’s not so bad also. EDIT:Since your issue is now resolved, why not update the same and revise the rating?

This is more like an ad for another website than a review of BigRock.
Commented on righttowrite's review
Same thing happened with me. This Rs. 8000 AdWords credit is a scam. You need to invest Rs. 4000 upfront in your AdWords account, following which Google will credit Rs. 8000 from their end. Google is offering the same scheme directly too, no need to host a site with BigRock for it. And Google was read more...
