Review

All I can say is WOW! PacificHost is there with me for long. I recently needed them for help on updating my site files they were there to assist and actually asked to do it for me. Now that is great support. When a company offers to do it on your behalf. Not many do that. They all send you links to knowledge base information or tutorials. They are very supportive and nice to me. I am amazed and know they are here to stay as well as be the top supporter of any web hosting company. I recommend PacificHost for those users who need a worry free and reliable hosting.

Many problems with the thunderbird server and the MySQL...

The MySQL keeps going down every 12-24 hours, sometimes more that 2 times a day...

A big problem that no one in pacifichost staff can solve...

Review

I have been with Pacifichost for a couple months now and I only have positive things to say about their hosting services.

Live chat is a great way to get help, friendly and very helpful, directing you in the right place if they cannot give you help on the spot. The ticket system works great and everytime I used it when I needed it I got clear, concise and helpful replies to what I needed to do or what they were doing to resolve my problems. For all that, though, the support has still been far faster and friendlier than what I had to put up with before!

The speed of my websites has been amazing since I switched from my old host and that was the main factor that made me want to switch in the first place. I haven't experienced any downtime at all so far.

Keep up the good work Pacifichost!
