Uses Hostinger for website hosting and says it has always been pretty good.
View original sourceHas been with Hosting.com for about five years on a reseller plan and is leaving after three price increases in a single year, the plan renaming and going from $39.60 to $48.60 a month. Says he was not told the amounts in advance and found out only when charged; he cancelled and is moving elsewhere.
Moved the bakery's WordPress site and email here almost three years ago because the first year was so cheap. For a long time it was fine. cPanel is the normal one, installing WordPress took about ten minutes, and the chat agents were polite even if half the time they just sent me a knowledge base link. This year was rough. Renewal came in at more than double what I first paid. Then in August the whole thing was down for most of a day, site and mailboxes, and live chat was down too, so the only updates I could find were posts on X. Customer orders that came in by email didn't reach me until the next day. A couple of times around holidays the site also showed a resource limit page when traffic went up. Fine for a hobby site. If your business runs on email, put it somewhere else. I'm moving mine this month.

View original sourceWith A2/Hosting.com for over 12 years, says support feels less personal now but is more effective and faster for many issues, and that things have been stable lately.
View original sourceStarted building a site on Bluehost, went another way, and found cancelling hard: no online option, and customer service kept questioning the reason for more than 15 minutes.
