Customer Reviews
Solid choice
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. Setup wizard is genuinely helpful. It asked the right questions and set up sensible defaults.
Exactly what I needed
The email setup is the smoothest I have seen. DKIM, SPF and DMARC were all pre-configured.
Small business friendly
Renewed for another year without hesitation. the control panel feels modern and I actually understand what every button does
SSL, backups, caching, all handled without me needing to look them up. That is what managed hosting is supposed to mean.
Would recommend
Tried them on a whim after a bad year with another host. Best move i made all year
Solid choice
Good value... The knowledge base is decent but not as deep as competitors at the same price point
Good value
solid hosting. i docked a star because the first-response time on email support can be slow on weekends.
Solid choice
I'd been with the same host for nine years before switching. Wish I had done it sooner.
