WestNIC - Great!
Hello!
I've been with WestNIC for 4 years already and very happy with their service. Of course like with any company, the are a couple of cons, but trust me, there are far more pros! I need reliable host with good uptime and that's what I get. My site did go down like 4-5 times, but it wasn't crazy downtime. I called their emergency support line each and they insured me that their technicians are working hard to resolve this issue. So as far as tech support and uptime, everything is good.
Also, I like that I get free eNom account, ClientExec license and block of free SSL Security Certificates with free "https://" installation. I needed all those tools for my customers and my business. They provide installation of ClientExec, and you probably know how horrible it is to upload all those files.
cPanel is always updated to the latest stable version. I always appreciate new features and addons (for example, new webmail "roundcube").
Their prices are very low. Compared to my old host, server I'm currently on is simply flying and is always green. My old host was always yellow or red (I'm talking about server status of course ;)
Cons:
- Sales department works very slow. 1) I remember that some time ago I referred my friend to them and there was no answer from westnic for a couple of days. Then they called and started to run some "credit card authorization". 2) Some time ago I upgraded my account and it took a couple of days to upgrade everything. It was easy to navigate through their website, spent about 10 minutes, but it took like 48 hours for them to call me for another "credit card authorization". I don't know what's the point of calling me if I'm existing customer, but that's what they did. Anyways, account was upgraded, but it took time.
- Unfortunately, they don't support php scripts. Although my friend told me that if you pay them $5 for support ticket they can fix your script. I don't like this idea, pay $5 for support which comes with your hosting plan...
Good luck!
