5.5 years of service, couldn't be happier After 5.5 years, we couldn't be happier. Primo managed service and top notch support staff. Ticket responses come in within minutes and the staff often goes above and beyond. Over that timeframe we've submitted a few hundred tickets ranging from minor (help installing an extension) to major (critical service down) and each was resolved timely and professionally. A few years ago we had an issue with an older PHP site that had malware maliciously installed. They were alerted to it, locked down the account, notified us, and even went to the extent of identifying how it was installed (unpatched, known problematic PHP library). After cleaning up the files and removing the unneeded library, the site was back up and running quickly. Knownhost also has an extremely helpful Discord server with management and support staff always available. Tickets are best if there's an active problem but I've picked the brains of the staff in Discord countless times when I've got a question or concern. I'm not sure how we got by before Knownhost.

Customer 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.

Look 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.

First class service and no nonsense I have been with Knownhost for a couple of years only after trying 3 other US based companies. I am always amazed at their quick and efficient 24/7 support. Their prices are also extremely competitive. If you think you can save a few bucks by being on a shared cloud server think again as being on Knownhost's VPS is the way forward. Shared hosting have so many tricks to get you to pay more or a forced upgrade. Don't be fooled. Thank you to the Knownhost team!

Worst hosting experience ever. Worst hosting experience ever. My sites were constantly being hacked as compared to similar sites on a different host (based in Australia) that never seemed to be attacked. Their so called customer service consists of lots of cut and paste emails mainly. They had the audacity to take my site down on a Friday evening due to what they termed a phishing risk - had they checked they would have seen that I have removed the infected files. Because their "abuse team" only work bank hours - monday to friday, 9am-5pm - it meant my site was down the entire weekend. My client was having melt downs. Pleas to the "support team" were ignored - in fact they seemed to revel in the power they had over me. A really horrible, awful experience dealing with these guys. Totally unprofessional. I couldnt advise more strongly to look elsewhere. Yes they are cheap and like most things in life, you absolutely get what you pay for.
