Does what it says on the tin…

I have been a customer of HostPapa for about 6 months now, with 9 domains registered in all. I have had no problems whatsoever – I am aware of about 5 minutes when the sites/emails were not available – making an approximate 99.998% up time to my knowledge. Transferring domains from my old host was dealt with efficiently, as was registering new domains. My contact with customer support has been very positive – the couple of occasions that I had to contact them (both minor issues, and problems on my side rather than the hosting side of things!) they have responded quickly and knowledgeably. With so much included in the package (unlimited emails, unlimited webspace, unlimited databases, etc), and at a such price **AND** being green… this hosting company certainly ticks all the boxes as far as I am concerned!

Great

I’ve been a customer for over a year and have had very good service with HostPapa. The few times I’ve needed help, it was prompt, courteous and useful.

They provide more value for your money.

I did a lot of research on hosting sites and I found that Host Papa was the way to go. More value for your money. When I called to talk to a rep, he was very helpful, the decision after that was pretty much a no-brainer.

Good Service

Overall, it’s been great, and I’ve never been tempted to shift to another provider. The price and features are definitely right, and you’ve got an excellent set of software tools to make setting up websites really simple. I’ve never had any issues with downtime, and your video tutorials (which are easily searchable) are really helpful.

Bought 3 years worth

I have paid for a 3 years subscription with you guys, i’ve had problems with bad hosting in the past and from what i have read on forums and websites, you guys are the best.

Excellent!

I have been using hostpapa for 2 years now and I like the service so much that I always suggest to my clients that they be hosted on hostpapa.

Very Pleased

Having our webpage constructed using Host Papa has been a learning experience, seem that there have been no difficulties and we are pleased with the results to date.

Host Papa Superb Customer Service

In a world where the customer is often made to feel somewhat of an inconvenience by the company supposedly providing a service, Host Papa are a breath of fresh air. The support service offered is without doubt one of the best I have ever experienced, technically perfect and really supportive without resulting to technical jargon. I would certainly recommend Host Papa to anyone looking for web hosting whether they be experienced or a complete novice. Better still the prices are great too!

Great Experience!

It has been great to be with HostPapa. My site is always available.

Love HostPapa

HostPapa made the job of obtaining a new webname, and setting up a hosting package as easy as 1, 2, 3, and at a better price than others. The account information and set-up page is easy to navigate and easy to use, not like other host services I have used where you have to “mine” for the information you need. Rob.

Excellent overall web host

I’ve had a positive experience each time I had contact with tech support or any other feature of service.

Great extras

HostPapa piles on the free extras! I’ve been taking full advantage of those ad credits and Google ad words Ð my business thanks you too!

Super hosting

HostPapa has been a great asset to my class, believe it or not! Not only have I been teaching the students how to set up a really cool website, but I’ve been able to talk about the importance of green energy and sustainability. We give HostPapa an A+

Hostpapa good service

I’ve been with HostPapa for 5 years and now I can safely say that I never have to worry about my web host. The service is great, the servers reliable, and everyone is efficient and knowledgeable. Great going, guys.

Happily got used to it

HostPapa’s ease of use and quality of customer care is one of the major reasons I host with them. I was just blown away by the efficiency, competency and just nice-ness for the first bit, then I happily got used to it, I only expect the best nowadays! 🙂

Hostpapa – on the whole they are great

Hostpapa, for the most part are great. I’ve had occasions where someone has phoned me to say the website/forum was down but generally this only lasted a few hours and it’s few and far between. Response from their support is good, the package is Brilliant (unlimited everything!) and in general the speed of their servers is great too. So while not perfect (and what hosting would be!?) they are very good. Recommended.

Hostpapa Great

For a relative newbie..Hostpapa was great. The control panel is very easy to use and I setup my email right away. The suppport staff was fast and friendly by answering my questions I had in my emails. I highly recommend Hostpapa!!

Brilliant

I have recently moved two clients over to HostPapa and can only say they have been Brilliant, the cost the service and the support have been second to none. As more clients come along I will be using HostPapa without a second thought…..

John Appleseed

I haven’t had any major problems at all with HP uptime and support. Everytime I had a small technical problem, support answered quickly and the problem was often resolved in a matter of minutes. I recommend there service!

SO glad I moved over

I am a very new customer with HostPapa having moved from WebFusion due to the totally abysmal service and tecnical support. I am very happy so far at the features offered and feel that the charges are reasonable and so far have been VERY impressed with the support. It amazes me that I have an 0800 number to call the excellent support team in the US in comparison to the expensive calls I hope very soon not to have to be making to WebFusion (which never helped much anyway)!

There is only one place

Hostpapa have provided a pleasing service. I signed up for it and the speeds are incredible. I’ve been tracking my site with internet monitors and haven’t had any amount of down time since Their team is fast to reply to any problems you may have and patient.

Nice hosting service

We are with HostPapa since March 2008, excellent customer service. They use green energy to power the data center. Excellent uptime, speed and performance. High monthly bandwidth and high storage capacity Easy to use control panel to manage account and website.

Hostpapa Review

I signed up with Hostpapa about 3 months ago. Pros: Good service, fast and friendly support, good prices and free domain name. Cons: You have to sign up for a year to get the best price. Overall Hostpapa provide a good service, I’ve already recommended them to a couple of fiends.
