Switched and never looked back
My previous host kept blaming my code whenever something slowed down. Moved here on a whim and within a week my site was loading faster than it ever had. Support answered a Sunday evening question in about four minutes. That was enough for me.

Exactly what an agency needs
I manage hosting for eleven clients and the last thing I need is surprises. Everything here has been predictable — performance, pricing, support response times. One client actually messaged me asking what I changed because their site felt faster. That's a good day.

Support sorted a Friday night crisis
Database went down at 10:30pm on a Friday before a product launch. I wasn't expecting much but someone replied in under two minutes, diagnosed the issue, and had it fixed before I'd even finished writing the escalation message. Genuinely impressive.
