4.0 stars HOSTPAPA REVIEW BY TRIPPER
  Reviewed on 11/22/2009 by Tripper
I've been with HostPapa for almost two years now and have had great service.

I run a forum with a MySQL database. And I host four other domains under mine as well.

Yes, my site has gone down on occasion. But the downtime was addressed in a timely manner.

Such is the nature of web hosting. If you want a perfect hosting solution, be prepared to spend some big dollars and forget about HostPapa or any other type of hosting like them.

If you hosted your site there you were likely more worried about the cost than the uptime. If you want good uptime, invest in a hosted server rather than some web space on a shared server.

Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, HostPapa has been a great service provider bar none.

As for people complaining about lost databases, HostPapa doesn't keep any backups. You can do database backups through the control panel. I backup my databases regularly and wouldn't rely on any hosting company to do it for me.

A smart web site owner looks after it's own info.

4.0 stars VERY HAPPY WITH THEM
  Reviewed on 11/20/2009 by Jason
I've been using HostPapa for a couple of years, and I've been very happy with them.

Their customer service is top-notch. For those complaining it, especially the one who asked "How do we move cPanel accounts", if you would stop asking stupid questions like that, perhaps they would have more time to answer questions that make sense. Everybody knows that the cPanel account belongs to the host and you can't "move" it.

Also, they have an amazing knowledgebase and video tutorials with sound. I almost ALWAYS find my answer by consulting them before contacting customer support. Those tools are created for your benefit. Use them!

Also, these budget hosts usually get inundated with newbie questions such as "how do I start creating my site?". This really hurts the service for everyone else. If you don't have the basic knowledge of site creation and hosting, don't sign up. Even though it's hosting at a budget price, it doesn't make it less complicated to get up and running with your own site.

4.0 stars HOST PAPA IS AWESOME!
  Reviewed on 11/14/2009 by Marcus Milleon
I used their free site builder to make a small site for my University project and with a little help from their support team I got my project completed much faster than I anticipated. Overall they have been very kind and the plan is definitely what I needed.

4.0 stars HOSTPAPA REVIEW BY KYLE RICHELHOFF
  Reviewed on 11/12/2009 by Kyle Richelhoff
There is only one place to go for hosting and its Hostpapa. I've been tracking my site with internet monitors and haven't had 1 second of down time since I signed up for it back in August of 2007 and the speeds are incredible, i have around 0.21 seconds for load time for a homepage full of graphics and widgets. Their Team is fast to reply to any problems you may have. The only down side to this hosting was my site struck 230 active connections and that suspended it temporarily, but even that was handled accordingly.

4.0 stars HOSTPAPA REVIEW BY SAM BENNETT
  Reviewed on 11/09/2009 by Sam Bennett
I have never seen such a good hosting company. For the price you get an unbelievable amount of disk space and monthly bandwidth. I have never had any downtime at all since I joined. I am a science teacher so the best part of this is that all their servers are run off of green energy or wind powered energy. Great host.

I launched my e-commerce Website in Feb. 2003 and have had nothing but good service from Host Papa. I would recommend this host with extremely reasonable prices to anyone and their mother!

4.0 stars HOSTPAPA REVIEW BY VALCHENKOV
  Reviewed on 10/30/2009 by Valchenkov
Host Papa has been very reliable and they support the scripts I use (Wordpress and Joomla). I like the fact that they are Canadian and charge in Canadian currency! Their support is good and plans are fairly priced. My experience with Host Papa has been good so far.

4.0 stars AN EXCELLENT COMPANY
  Reviewed on 10/30/2009 by Kat
I have been with Hostpapa for a year now. The staff is very helpful. They answered all my questions thoroughly and made sure I was satisfied. Their pricing is very nice. They offer more features and the most control over your site that I have seen with any other host.

Finally the uptimes have been perfect. Over the year my site has been down twice total and both times it was back up in a matter of minutes, not hours or days. The staff was quick to acknowledge an outage, give an approx time to being back up and met their goal.

I am very very impressed and will never switch hosts as long as these guys are around.

4.0 stars HOSTPAPA REVIEW BY MELISSA ETHERIDGE
  Reviewed on 10/26/2009 by Melissa Etheridge
Host Papa is my new host since they support Green Hosting :) I have been with them for almost four months. I host my joomla and mambo website with Host Papa and my daughter has her personal blog with Host Papa as well.

Reliability wise they have not yet been down so cross your fingers! Tjeir customer support is awesome since they helped the both of us get the scripts installed and pointed correctly. They do have all the features we need and it's quite simple to use.

Host Papa pricing is the same as most of the other prices for hosting so it was nothing out of the ordinary.

4.0 stars REALLY SOLID HOSTING
  Reviewed on 10/24/2009 by Brian Dean
Host Papa is a really solid hosting company. They have been so helpful in getting my website transferred and online and I owe it all to their support. I am a bit of a novice so getting my site from one server to another was a little scary but the staff at Host Papa was VERY helpful.

4.0 stars I RECENTLY JOINED HOST PAPA
  Reviewed on 10/24/2009 by Leone M.
I and am quite happy with their service. They are a Canadian host which I prefer and have good rates and features. They seem like a small company but support has been up to par and my site has not experienced any downtime. They support MySQL and PHP and have some cool scripts that I setup my blog with. So far my experience has been great with Host Papa!

4.0 stars AT FIRST, THEY WERE AMAZING
  Reviewed on 10/22/2009 by Darren Baker
Cpanel administration, no downtime, and all at a great cost. Then the interruptions in service began occurring as soon as we switched our 20+ computers to IMAP email... We have had absolutely nothing but trouble since, and will be changing providers. We have had, in one month, five hours of downtime. I do NOT recommend them if you are reliant upon IMAP email support.

4.0 stars HOSTPAPA REVIEW BY PAUL A. NADER
  Reviewed on 10/18/2009 by Paul A. Nader
I called HostPapa's Info line to inquire about some details before I purchase a plan. I was automatically put on hold and waited over ten minutes, with a deafening silence interrupted every couple of minutes with a promotion message. I figured that if I had to wait that long before I even become a customer - that is when I expect them to lure me with their efficiency and good service - what would be the case once I paid my dues and they had me sort of in the bag. They must be either severely short of support personnel, or do not think it is that important to communicate with potential customers. At any rate, I hanged up and will be looking elsewhere.

4.0 stars HOSTPAPA REVIEW BY JIM
  Reviewed on 10/11/2009 by Jim
I'm a Nature Photographer and Business Consultant. I discovered HostPapa while researching green web hosts with good reputations. That's when I found out HostPapa also cost less than other web hosts. As a non-technical person, I needed so much help when I started setting up my first website and the people at HostPapa helped me every step of the way. I was amazed to find they actually provide a toll-free number anyone can call for support from a qualified (and nice!) person instead of forcing me to submit a service order online and then hope for the best. Their technical people have shown me the patience and people skills needed to help even a non-techie like me to succeed.

HostPapa's plan was a no brainer for us. We were looking for an environmentally responsible company to host our online green store. I'm not techy but this was easy and Adam was extremely helpful and courteous. We were up and running in no time. Thank you HostPapa!

  Reviewed on 10/02/2009 by Brian
After a short learning curve, building websites is extremely rewarding and gets easier all the time… The templates provided (by HostPapa) assist with the learning process. If one is not impulsive, the online help will explain just about any problem one can come across.

4.0 stars HOSTPAPA REVIEW BY BATEMAN
  Reviewed on 10/02/2009 by Bateman
To Hostpapa,

Working as a full-time hospital doctor, out of hours I’ve been able to get in contact when I’ve needed your services.

With minimal technical knowhow, I’ve used your automated installation features of Moodle allowing me to deliver a commercially viable product on the Internet… I have not had one single piece of spam mail, junk, or anything else unhelpful from you guys. Brilliant.

I would recommend without hesitation and without question HostPapa’s friendly, efficient and proficient service and hosting services.
