I used to be the owner of a domain name hosted by Gisol, which exhibited Math and Computer Science material, from January 18, 2005 to January 18, 2008 when Gisol failed to notify me to renew it and so my domain name was bought by Maxim Petrukhin of Russia who exhibited pornographic material. The seriousness of the problem lies in the fact that I was exhibiting at the Mathematical Association… [ ... ]
I have had a web hosting account with GISOL since 2005 for the services of hosting a website and domain name. Just graduating college I only had a debit card and used it as my form of payment.
2006 my domain name did not renew, and I contacted the online help chat. Not being much help, I decided to just buy a new domain name for that year and set my… [ ... ]
I have a similar story to everyone who has posted on your site. I used GISOL for quite a while before I had any issues with them; must have be 2 or 3 years. Then they let my domain go into redemption and threatened to charge me ~$750 dollars in ‘penalties’ for letting it go that far…the domain was registered in their name, as usual. Not sure how… [ ... ]
Fair Credit Billing (taken from the FTC website)
Have you ever been billed for merchandise you returned or never received? Has your credit card company ever charged you twice for the same item or failed to credit a payment to your account? While frustrating, these errors can be corrected. It takes a little patience and… [ ... ]
I can’t believe my credit card company “Washington Mutual”.
I strongly advise everyone to check with their CC company if you have used it to do business with GISOL. I just talked to my CC company because I was checking to see why I have not recieved my new dispute paperwork against GISOL yet. They… [ ... ]
Looking at my webstats I came across the following visits from JP Morgan Chase after they searched for “Gisol Class Action”. The time they took at each page suggested they were actually reading the posts, not just quickly scanning. It may be of use to you guys who have problems with your Chase VISA disputes… [ ... ]
I’ve been looking through Report-Gisol.com visitor stats and came across the following:
Discover Card are obviously doing some research into Gisol at last! I know they haven’t been very helpful in the past during chargebacks and disputes. It might be worth contacting… [ ... ]
I too have had major problems with GISOL (otherwise I would not have posted here).
They were my hosting company for several years - until site was more down than up. I changed providers and had a terrible time with GISOL transfering the DNS address.
In December 2007, I started contacting them to renew my domain name… [ ... ]

I am another victim of this fraud company. Yes, $1789.20 is the majic number. I let my account with them run out. I had an account from the initial sign up which was actually a good deal for the first two years I was with them. I kept trying to contact them before the expire… [ ... ]
Here’s the update from my previous post. Gisol sent my bank 33 pages of “rubbish”, as the guy at my bank put it. Visa International has sided with my bank and refunded them. Luckily, my bank was sympathetic and refunded the money back to me before they won.
Here’s “Adam”s letter that was sent in… [ ... ]
Hi…I too had some problems. I haven’t used their service in years. YEARS! I just got charged $71.40 out of the blue. I called and got some billing folks in India. They couldnt help so they gave me a 323 number and said to call 9am-5pm PST. I called them at 520 EST and it… [ ... ]
A while ago I ordered a standard hosting at Gisol. My big luck was that I paid this with a Paypal account and not via my creditcard!!! After my registration at Gisol a salesperson called me by phone, telling me I had to pay more than 900$ because I had selected the “one time set-up”… [ ... ]
Although I have recieved a full refund from my bank, Gisol are still trying to dispute the charge with my bank.
My bank rang me a couple of days ago, to ask for advice, as they could understand the 35 pages Gisol sent back. The guy from my bank said it was “mostly rubbish”. They… [ ... ]
