Support
Instant Technical Live Support: No
Though they mention live chat on their contact page “Contact us via Live Chat, we will answer any questions you might have. If you have a support request we recommend that you open a Support ticket first so we can keep you updated and keep a log of the issue for quick issue resolution” we were only able to send the message, no 24/7 support options were detected.
There is however a ticket system which supposedly works quite fast.
Report for 2018
- #167 is not the best result for a Canadian provider. Hosterbox.com got only 3.7 in 2018.
- Well, the provider’s uptime had flaws (~95%) in August and September but it was since November when the never-ending period of bad downtime (~85-94%) started and went on and on). Hence such a low HRank.
- Response time repeated exactly the same dynamics: quite fast (500-600ms) before November, slow (800-900ms) – after. There must have been some major problem at the provider’s end.
- And even though Shared IP numbers stayed roughly at the same level, a
decrease in the domain numbers must have been caused by such bad performance.
