GBKnownhost HORRIBLE service Their support is terrible, so much time wasted EVERY time we open a ticket. Too much back and forth due to their inefficiencies and complete lack of process and consistency. We will be taking our business elsewhere, and I suggest anyone that relies on tech support to do the same. There are tons of hosting companies out there, no need to tolerate this.

GBLook elsewhere About a month ago, complete outage at their data center in Seattle left many of us customers down for a day. There was no backup plan or process so to speak. They had to restore things manually. And even then things went wrong - it didn't help that the admins were in the forums being antagonistic about people's responses. Then today in the middle of the work day, our server goes offline. Email, domain... etc. Notify tech support and they inform me that they were moving the VPS between nodes and that there would be a period of downtime. Were we notified? No. Could they have done such a move after hours? Probably. Complete joke and a train wreck of a company.

GBCustomer 3 Years I'm seriously impressed by Knownhost. I have their VPS2 product get a pay ahead discount so that knocks the cost down even more. Their pricing is on par with other hosts out there but their uptime is the impressive part. I literally question the monitoring service when I get an alert because it's usually one ping that failed and when I go to my site(s) on my phone they work. I'm actually considering rewriting the api for an app I created from ASP.NET WebAPI to NodeJS just so I can host my app with Knownhost... I have my app with Microsoft Azure and their product is about 3 times as much and way slower. It would be about a 400 hour ordeal to rewrite the entire backend, still it's being considered.

GBRunaway and do not look back try Nestify at least they listen So this company bought out Host Asset, which offered unlimited sites and great service. So when I was moved to Knownhost I was updating some sites and noticed that there was somethings that were not updating, after some research I found that I had to reinstall the site, well, that is when the scam was revealled. Because I signed up with HostAsset, and had unlimited, Knownhost refused to honor the agreement, while I could fight it, it is not worth it. Especially due to the slow hosting and bad customer service. Also, if you site is hacked due to their lack of security bad luck, you are on your own. They will block you access and then play games. Also, the abuse supervisor really needs to change the name, even tho he deserves abuse, they need to change it to something like the caring supervisor, even though that would be an oxymoron.

MKTrigger happy hosting provider Trigger happy hosting provider. They terminated my service because of "Network Abuse" which is a vague term that a bunch of inexperienced Sys Admins use when they see a spike in TCP connections in Nagios or whatever monitoring tool they use. They didn't bother to communicate with me what i was using the service for, just pulled the trigger right away. Obviously a bunch of Junior personnel working at this company. Stay away. EDIT: The illegal activities they mention in the reply are running an app i wrote to verify email addresses on their VPS. It literally just connects to a SMTP server and issues the VRFY command for a given email address which is not ILLEGAL in any way. Now even gaslighting Trustpilot reviews, how low can you go?
