The downtime has been really outstanding.
The customer support is hit or miss at times.
Hosting all my websites - pretty straight forward.
Their shared hosting is fast when compared to some of the traditional ones. Their customer support is excellent, and their dashboard makes it easy to use and implement. They also have one of the high-paid affiliate programs in the market.
They do provide some great offers when we are starting, but their price increases after using it for the initial years.
They have one of the fastest servers out their, which makes our website load pretty faster. Easy to use
They offset 3x the energy they use with, I believe wind credits. Oddly, this is difficult information to find on their website right now. For my sustainable industry clients, this is a big plus. I also appreciate that they have not sold out to EIG.
I feel that overall, the hosting is a bit slower than other hosting platforms. Things can hang up significantly. when doing a backup or updating plugins. They do not have an easy "let's encrypt" option like many others, but they will help you use a let's encrypt SSL certificate.
Claiming a "green" hosting solution for sustainable industry clients. It is reliable hosting, no major problems.
Widely suported and familiar Hosting Interface FAirly timely customer service
Restricted usage and tight enforcement during spikes in usage
Hosting option for multiple clients are a lower cost
