I am experiencing no real issues from these folks, they are pretty good at taking care of business. For a time there were quite a few issues but that seems to have smoothed out so I'm good to go.

just ok

Sep 15 2012

Am holding on for now as the support seems to be taking a turn for the better. I'm not sure I can recommend them for anyone searching for a new host though.

Going good for me here, have been with them a while and haven't had many problems. My work here is simple but still they have to perform, and I really have no major complaints.

Be careful

Jul 19 2012

These people have had good moments but they are struggling a bit, don't know if it's a temporary thing or what. In the past all has been okay but there must be some transition happening now.

Good Pricing, Bad Product and Service

Jul 17 2012

This hosting provider is a joke and I say that lightly. My site goes down from time and time again due to hiccups in the server, the support is an extreme joke! 15 out of 23 times I have had problems which I Can document.

This is a terrible service and don't support them please.

No major issues here, so I am pleased with that. When there have been a problem then they have gotten back to the ticket in a reasonable time. Try them if you are searching for a host now.

Responsive support

Jun 12 2012

They worked well for me going on 2 years now. When I did need support, it was forthcoming. It does seem like they care that they are doing a good job when you have an issue with something. I believe it is more important to pay a little more and get the service that is important to you.

Hanging in

Jun 15 2012

They have been okay, not overwhelmingly great but a fairly solid performace. Sometimes getting in touch with them can take a while, so the response lags but generally they are back in touch with you in a reasonable time.

not enough support

Jun 10 2012

i get tired as heck of wordpress going down. I was not planning on using the site that i set up for a whole lot of traffic, so i did not want to pay very much. The price was OK for that. I did have to send in a help ticket about my SSL cert not installing right. According to them i just had to follow thier specific directions but these were not proper for what i was trying to do. Too many issues and then not enough support when i need it.

Pretty satisfied

Jun 4 2012

These people are not perfect but no hosting site is IMO. But they have taken care of me to my satisfaction so think I will stay with them for the time being. The issues have been taken care of properly when they have arisen.

Run Away

Mar 13 2012

I have had my website for over ten years, and during that time I have had about half a dozen servers.  In June 2010, I transferred my website to a VPS on PacificHost.  I cannot begin to tell you of the problems that I had with them. I would stay as far away from them as possible. Although their customer services was friendly and helpful, the issues that I have experienced are to much for my liking.

Great For Pics

Mar 8 2012

I've used Pacifichost for quite a long period of time. Most of the traffic stems from a webcam which uploads several pics per minute. Reliability is 100% I honestly cannot remember the last downtime our site has had that wasnt because of something I did. The server uptime and overall speed performance are outstanding and consistent. Their technical support is Helpful - support tickets tend to get a response within minutes, which usually resolves the problem. I'd recommend them quite highly.

Unimpressed

Feb 12 2012

Plan: Ultra
We were looking for a hosting company that offered SSL economically just to drop a few facebook apps on (ie very light usage). Pacific Host had good reviews and seemed to fit the bill pricewise. Initially their Client Portal had a problem then after installing the SSL cert (it took a while as all their instructions didn't match the the system) we found that it wasn't working, filed a ticket which didn't seem to get looked at - then i noticed that they hadn't given us a dedicated ip (so the cert wouldn't work) told them and it got fixed. The Wordpress site we have installed on the domain is down frequently. PH response was that it might be overloading the server, almost no hits or plugins - probably not. Very often I cant even get to the basic control panel (for example now which is why i have time to write this!!!!!!)
