I have never had any issues with myhosting.com any time I need to change something, or adjust something, everything works as it should. Haven't had contact with anyone from Customer Support for quite some time.

Very Good

I don't use a lot of services, but the main thing for me is that I have never had problems that demanded extra time & attention or technical expertise that I don't have. Everything was very easy.

Great product

About the Reviewer

Review

Great product, although my experience with customer support has not been fruitful and is becoming frustrating. I have been shifted around to several customer support representatives trying to add a sub-domain that can be linked to my SmugMug account and am being taken in circles with know one able to fulfill my simple and straight forward request. They seem to be doing what they think I need instead of what I directly ask and since I cannot successfully edit my own C Name I am reliant upon them.

Review

myhosting is reliable, consistent and responsive. simple expectations that are met on a yearly basis. Customer support response time is very timely. Only once in the 10 or so years that I've worked with them have I been disappointed. I greatly appreciated the assistance moving to live support vs. simply e-mail.

Review

I am very satisfied and pleased with my many years of myhosting web hosting experience. Not only have I hosted my own site, but have both recommended and set up sites for friends and family on myhosting. It has always been trouble free and mostly self-explanatory through the excellent web tools provided. The price is right for the excellent features offered.

Very friendly and very helpful customer service

About the Reviewer

Pros and Cons

Pros
Excellent customer service and support. Sometimes follow up was required by email but I always got a response within 12 hours. And, it is a bonus that you can actually call someone! Some competitors don't answer their phones.
Cons
None!

Review

I have called support several times for assistance and they have been prompt in replying. I can't say that for the competition! I've moved ALL my website (8 in total) over to my hosting over the last year.

Review

I've had domain transfer questions, shopping cart questions, timing questions and invoicing option questions... the support help and follow-up has always been prompt, accurate and friendly. I've asked for support help numerous times and the response and follow-up has always been excellent. The support staff understands that many of us have limited technical knowledge.

Reliable

About the Reviewer

Willem van Schaik is a Joomla Intermediate User and
has used myhosting for more than 3 years.

Pros and Cons

Pros
Couple of things. Service is very steady, reliable and "always up". Maybe not the fastest in the world, but with the low price, bang on when it comes to value for money. I guess that for me the most important thing is that after 15 years of hosting with many, many providers, myhosting is really, really stable. And that is very refreshing!!
Cons
I have multiple domains with myhosting. The fact that some are on the old system and some on the "cloud" is confusting the heck out of me.

Review

Customer service has always been very friendly and easy to access, no long wait times, multiple ways to get to them and when there was a technical problem, they got the job done.
