No complaints

No downtime that I have noticed since I joined. Their status page is boring and that is the highest compliment I can give. Support restored a site from their nightly backup for free when my dev accidentally dropped a table. I expected a headache and got a solution instead.

Great experience so far. Set up took maybe twenty minutes including DNS changes. Would recommend to anyone running a blog or portfolio site. Two sites, one Magento, one WordPress, both humming. Backups run automatically and i can restore from a dropdown.

Small business friendly

Had an issue with a migration and the support team handled the entire thing for me at no extra charge.That alone earned five stars.

Four stars because everything works but the onboarding flow felt a bit dated. Once you are through it, the hosting itself is fine.

Five stars from me

Caching is handled at the server level so I removed a plugin and my site got faster. Small win but a win

Worth every cent

Honestly one of the better hosting decisions I've made. Pages load quickly even without a CDN in front, and billing has never surprised me

No complaints

Had a plugin conflict on my WordPress install and the support tech pinpointed it in about ten minutes. Saved me half a weekend.

Hit or miss

Works okay for my small blog. Not sure I would pick them again if I were starting from scratch today.
