Think twice about PacificHost

Feb 7 2012

Where to start? I transferred several websites to PacificHost to try the hosting out before I moved the other sites that I host. I encountered problems from the very beginning. Every site that utilized Cloud Fire would go down multiple times a day for 20-60 minutes at a time. After several days of nearly 60% uptime (tracked by mon.itor.us and Pingdom.com), PacificHost told me that it was a Cloud Fire problem. OK, can you fix the problem? Apparently the answer is no. They disabled Cloud Flare, and the uptime improved, but not to the expected level. I am still getting downtime and the reports from the two monitors above put my uptime at 80-89%. In two months, I have opened 8 support tickets (all significant) and have had none resolved.

Top Of The List

Dec 30 2011

There are so many useful features included in their hosting plans. I have been very satisfied with their services and I would highly recommend their services. I suggest that anyone new to site building and looking for a new provider or even looking to move from their existing host, place PacificHost on the top of their list.

Reliable Web Host

Dec 27 2011

It was very hard to find reliable web host, after several weeks of research I chose Paicifichost. I have been using them for 4 months now and must say that I made the first best choice of web host. PacificHost is not only saving me a ton of money, but have already shown me exceptional customer support.

Top company to deal with

Dec 23 2011

It was killing me to have downtime all the time and so I researched hosts based on uptime and price, looking for a new home. Found PacificHost and decided to give them a try. I have been hosting all my websites with PacificHost for over a year now with great satisfaction. Their configuration has changed quite a bit in the time I've been with then, but they've been nothing but helpful in sorting out any issues that have arisen with migration. Their technical support is outstanding. I've noticed no downtime and my site loads faster than ever. Highly recommended.

pleasant and helpful

Dec 21 2011

I am changing all 5 of my personal web sites as well as my other clients websites to Pacifichost. Support is fast, efficient, friendly and understandable even for technical twits like I am. Every conversation was pleasant and helpful. Every question resolved to my satisfaction. No complaints about stupidity of the questions or late time (few conversations went past midnight). Reliability is 100% I honestly cannot remember the last downtime our site has had that wasn't because of something I did. Pricing is reasonable and servers are stable. Excellent, quality hosting with quality support. Pacifichost - Recommended!

Great Profesionals

Dec 18 2011

I am pleased dealing with PacificHost web hosting.They have the quickest support ever. I particularly like cPanel which I never had before and the ability to do things like upload zipped files and unzip them in file manager. Their servers have only been down once while I have been with them and during that time they kept me fully informed/updated as to the progress being made in getting them back online. Furthermore, their discounts saved me a good sum of money. Very competitive pricing. Love PacificHost!!!

Postively the Best

Dec 11 2011

I have been with Pacifichost for a couple months now and I only have positive things to say about their hosting services. Live chat is a great way to get help, friendly and very helpful, directing you in the right place if they cannot give you help on the spot. The ticket system works great and everytime I used it when I needed it I got clear, concise and helpful replies to what I needed to do or what they were doing to resolve my problems. For all that, though, the support has still been far faster and friendlier than what I had to put up with before! The speed of my websites has been amazing since I switched from my old host and that was the main factor that made me want to switch in the first place. I haven't experienced any downtime at all so far.

no one can beat them

I have never noticed any downtimes even if there were any. These guys have already provided me with exceptional custom pricing. PacificHost is not only saving me a ton of money, but have already shown me exceptional customer support.
I would (and, of course, do) recommend them to anyone who needs a great host for sites large or small.

Fantastic and Reliable

Dec 5 2011

I find PacificHost to be fantastic. I have been hosted with other companies before, but frankly speaking was impressed by the quality of the services provided by pacifichost team. They are also great with helping you move from other hosts to them.
There have never been problems, the sites were always up and working as expected.
Network uptime is great, speed connectivity is pretty fast. Pricing is competitive.
I will be keeping as a customer with them for years to come!

Recommend to all

Nov 14 2011

I was looking for a good hosting website and was previously with many web hosting providers, Pacifichost is one of the best hosts I've ever dealt with. Billing is automatic, and always correct. Pricing is reasonable.
I would recommend these guys!

Very Happy with Pacific Host

Aug 21 2011

Hosted with Pacific Host for many months now. They have replies to all tickets I have ever sent in within a few minutes and nothing ever took more than I'd say 2 hours to resolve. The only time my site wasn't working good, they let me know the server I was on was having trouble and they transferred me to another server with no problems at all. Another time they freely restored one of my sites from a recent backup because a hacker got in and they helped me a script bug so no more hacks could occur.

incredibly pleased with the speed of their tech support

Aug 21 2011

After suffering through the disintegration of my previous web and mail hosting provider, I limped to PacificHost. I've been incredibly pleased with the speed of their tech support and except for one billing problem, they've been an absolute dream to deal with. The servers are smooth, and they're always on top of things, constantly updating the forums, answering any questions and making sure I'm happy. The support people are friendly, knowledgeble, respectful and eager to solve any problems I run into.
