Hit or miss

Happy with performance but had to manually install Let's Encrypt on one domain which felt clunky.

Solid host for the price. I run a small e-commerce shop and checkout speed noticeably improved after I switched.

Worth every cent

I'd been with the same host for nine years before switching. Wish I had done it sooner.

Rock solid

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.

renewed for another year without hesitation. The control panel feels modern and I actually understand what every button does.

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.

Disappointed

Worst hosting experience I have had in a decade. Site went down for nearly two days and support kept telling me it was being looked into.
