You can skip the first half of this web hosting review if you want to know how enthusiastic I am about my current web hosting provider Linux Hosts Ltd.
Let me start by saying that my review is 100% real, unbiased and objective. It's rather long so I hope you are willing and able to take some time. Maybe five minutes? I can prove that I'm a real customer of Linux Hosts Ltd. if Yelp would give me the possibility to add a screen shot of my web hosting account while being logged in, but I don't see any button that allows me to add a screen shot to this review. I have been a customer of Linux Hosts Inc. for several years. But first I would like to talk about my bad experiences with others. I started with my own domain name in 2003. It was NOT hosted by Linux Hosts Ltd. but by one of the world's largest web hosting providers. As a starter I didn't know much about web design, web hosting, programming and related skills. So I regularly contacted technical support about problems, some of them created by myself, some of them due to a problem caused by the provider. The support team was absolutely unable to assist me professionally and I often received irrelevant and unprofessional replies to my support tickets. Later I heard that the company outsourced its technical support to some low salary country. After I left the web hosting provider one year later, I had several other similar experiences with two other large web hosting companies. All of these companies rank high in Google and have a huge advertising budget. So they are easy to find which isn't good. I also discovered that they practice overselling. This means that they sell more web hosting packages than they actually have. It refers to the method of offering more bandwidth and web space than they have in order to attract as many new clients as possible, while assuming that most of these new customers will not use their maximum allocated web space and bandwidth.
I think it was three years ago that I switched to Linux Hosts Ltd. The company belongs to its parent company LiquidNet Ltd headquartered in London UK. They own data centres in the UK, Australia, US and Sweden. The moment I switched to them all my problems were gone. I was in a completely different web hosting world. My new account was activated instantly after payment. Support always replies promptly to my support tickets and, if ever there is an issue, it's mostly resolved within minutes by very well trained, friendly, hardworking and knowledgeable people. The company has developed its own Control Panel which is easier to use than CPanel and it offers more options. There is nothing a customer can't do from within the Control Panel and most actions require nothing more than the click of a button. Up time is almost 100 percent and my sites load lightning fast in all browsers. In the beginning I never made backups of my sites. Twice I lost all my files and twice I was saved by this company because they make daily backups. A short time ago I discovered that, despite the fact that I have a cheap 4.19 per month shared business package, there are only 25 other account holders hosting their websites on the same web server as mine. This really was a pleasant surprise to me because I know that most providers put as many websites as they can on only one web server in order to save cost. Sometimes there are thousand of customers using the same server which decreases speed and increases the risk of being infected by a virus. Last but not least I also learned that my web hosting provider is very secure. At least once a month I receive their newsletter informing me that they added new security measures or upgraded existing implementations. My account, including 4 websites and blogs, was never compromised and probably never will. I can full heartedly recommend Linux Hosts Ltd. to any individual and business in need of a reliable web hosting provider. read more
