AskForHost.com Review
visit provider
Background
Business Name: AskForHost
Year of foundation: 2011
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
BBB Accreditation: No
Market Size: > 300 websites (#169 HRank list)
Growth Status: (by websites quantity): Increasing
Founded in 2011, AskForHost is now serving thousands of web sites.
The significant difference of the company is that it introduces their staff members on the web site (their qualifications, years of experience, position in AskForHost and specialization). However, no their photo and contact information can be found, so customers cannot know for sure whether these people are real or not.
All servers of the company are connected to 1Gbps Premium Bandwidth Uplink Ports, but a customer cannot know where they are located exactly as far as two addresses are given on the website – in the USA and in Pakistan.
Their website, however, has a nice and friendly interface.

Report for 2018
- Number 222 on the list, and 3.0 HRank – that’s what we have for AskForHost.com in 2018.
- The provider’s rank could have been higher but for several cases of ~82%, ~83%, and ~86% downtime, plus several less severe cases (~94-97$).
- Its response time also grew slower with initial values of ~700ms and ~1,100ms speed at the end of the year.
- The Sites chart is an interesting case in this respect as the number of Shared IPs reduced while the number of websites grew. We have to admit that performance problems must have little bothered the users of the provider.
