Abuse Team Did Not Actually Investigate, Sided With a Groomer, Silenced Victims I run a social media site with ~60 active users on my server. Recently, one of the more well-known users on my site was revealed to have been grooming minors and abusing their partner. They were swiftly banned, and the community was informed to break contact with that individual, including anonymous testimony and censored evidence from some of the victims. Unfortunately, that individual filed an abuse complaint to Hivelocity, with links to the posts, claiming harassment despite the posts specifically saying to disconnect from the individual. My belief was that because Hivelocity is considered a white-glove service, they'd thoroughly investigate the abuse complaints and recognize that the abuse reports were made falsely. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Despite providing explanations, the Hivelocity Abuse Team would only reply to me with the simple reply of "Case remains open pending removal of posts." This happened repeatedly over the last month. Any time a survivor would even mention the individual, a new abuse report would go to Hivelocity, and Hivelocity would tell me to take the post down. This is a VERY dangerous precedent to set, and basically makes it an unsafe provider, considering anyone is capable of forcing me to remove content, simply by falsely reporting a post to Hivelocity. +1 star because their tech support is genuinely good. But... I can't trust Hivelocity.

Top notch Customer Service Top notch Customer Service. Stellar bandwidth performance. Active social media. In the rare event that there is a network issue (saw one over two years), these guys and gals are quick to keep you updated as to what's going on and what's to be expected.

Excellent Service at a Great Price Excellent Service at a Great Price I can't speak more highly about the tech support. This is the key differentiator between hosting companies in my opinion. Without exception, they have in-depth knowledge and diagnose and solve issues that come up quickly. On top of that, they are on-site so they can pop over to check the hardware anytime. Server and networks are high-speed and well-maintained, and all this for a great price.

Incredible tech support My business sites were down (not because of Hivelocity) and everyone of their support personnel helped me with the issue until it was resolved. It was probably over 10 hours of phone calls and emails. Douglas especially was a godsend. He got the other company on a 3 way call and wouldn't quit until the problem was resolved. So grateful for their expertise, patience and professionalism.

Zero downtime While support was great, the thing that stood out was what did not happen. No downtime, no network issues, no problems. Coupled with predictable pricing (looking at you AWS/Azure/Google Cloud) I can highly recommend Hivelocity
