    I'm with HawkHost, and for about a year now. I am happy with their fast support and ease of use features. They provide excellent uptime and discuss matters through email using a real person, rather than an automated feature.

    They can be a real bummer when your site grows. Be carefull with them.
    Same here, I use them too, no problems ever :)

    HawkHost are awesome, I've got a small reseller with them to host the PH client area, and it needed the IonCube 4.x.x loaders, and they were more than happy to get them set up for me :D

    it might just be related to your net connection, as I'm having no problems what so ever

    It was 2-3 hours ago, I confirmed it with Joker, and other members. It was barely loading and I encountered two database errors in that time.

    hmm, weird. Well I'm sure they'll get it looked into & solved, as they fixed my issue when the IonCube loaders magically went back to the 3.x.x loaders when I needed the 4.x.x loaders

    The weird thing was I got a reply as soon as I sent them the email, but later he confirmed that the site was not loading so he upgraded my ticket from support team to the system admins, so someone that has access to the server will help me.

    it's still early days yet as you are probably in a queue, all depending on how many tickets are in their internal department

    Well, I don't own any websites but my dad owns a website for his company and they are hosted on HostQuack.

    If you ask me, they have the worst hosting service around. The only reason my dad is still with them is because they're cheap and we have some deposit into the account which we can't take back because they have a new owner. Their hosting uptime is less than 90% in my opinion and there are always errors.

    Well that sucks for your dad. He should move from them whenever he has to pay for the next hosting bill.

    He paid some extra money so that he doesn't forget to pay them and then all the problems started coming. The money will run out in October... Its a long time from now :(

    Yea that is a long time, he made the mistake of choosing the host before researching further.

    It was actually me as well :oops:But the thing was it was working perfectly before we paid the money. Then the website was sold to someone else and then they started going bad.
