We also like the price, it is one of the lowest in the American market, and for this price, the provider offers a fairly high-quality hosting.

By the way, there is a new offer for discounts that isn't indicated in the header of the site.


Unfortunately, the pros are over. On the third day there was a problem with unpacking archives on the server through the control panel and I requested chat support.
Another disadvantage is the technical illiteracy of the operators. The last operator first tried to explain me that the archives are too big (4.7mb), then, when I explained that these are Joomla! Archives, said that yes, the problem is with the Joomla! Archives. Then he said that there might be a problem with my Internet connection (although what does my connection have to do with it if the archive is on their server and unpacked through their own panel!). At the end, he gave "good" advice, to upload files to the server ... without unpacking! ))))) 5 thousand files via FTP ... yeah)))))) At last they said if I need help unpacking archives to contact them, they will happily do it for me))) "it's really very convenient") ))
At last I gave up and sent a request for a refund ... I'm still waiting.






FYI to my colleagues, the promo-price of any product offered by this hosting company is valid only for first time users or when purchasing a new product.
If you want, (like me), to extend the product at a promo price, then you'll have to pay full price instead. I think this is important, and it should be taken into account considering this company.
For example, right now I have the Expert price plan. And instead of the $94.80 that I originally paid when registering a year and a half ago, I was immediately charged for a service upgrade of $109.40. If you do the math, this equals a $4.56 per month increase. It's not a huge amount of money, but it doesn't seem fair that this number can be seen only if you start to renew the product or ask technical support directly. The only place it's otherwise mentioned is in the Terms of Service - you just see this phrase without prices attached: "We will automatically renew your plan at the end of your billing period (unless you choose otherwise) at the regular (non-discounted) rate for the same term duration."
Also, I would like to emphasize once again, a year and a half ago, the price of $ 3.95 per month for this hoster was offered when paying for two years of services, and not for one year, as written in the terms of service/
If you pay for a year, the monthly fee is $4.95.
Actually, that's my whole comment - I felt like it was important to report this.
So, if you set aside the little bit of price confusion, in general, the services provided are satisfactory.
