Masterhost.ru review

The first impression: Expensive and sometimes friendly

.masterhost is a leader in the Russian hosting market. The company has been operating in the market since 1999, and during this time has managed to collect a huge number of regular customers. But with the customers comes another problem, this hoster really only focuses on their medium and large customers, to the detriment of the newcomers. Because of this, the company received a number of detractors, who were badly treated, and talk about it now on all the forums. Now, from reviews to reality: the site of this hoster is simple, maybe even too simple for the leader of Russian hosting market. But this simplicity is very, very convenient, and everything is very visually balanced.

Technical support - responds quickly

The forums full of people saying that the company doesn't care about small customers, and that's most likely true. Our experts didn't notice bad attitudes during testing, but where there is smoke, there is probably fire. They offer support via email and phone (there is an all-Russian free phone number).

Conclusion

You could choose hosting from .masterhost only if you are not looking for optimal solutions to every issue. For example, when you have a big budget and you need high-quality hosting, and you don't want to spend time searching and comparing other choices.
