Benefits of Hosting with HostPapa

Pricing at HostPapa is good especially if you look at their $5.95/mo 3 year plan which many people who have been with HostPapa opt for on their renewal as the service is just as good and there is a terrific price savings when you opt for 3 years. Their 1 year plan is on par with the rest of the industry. The eco friendly energy that HostPapa uses is a definite plus and many people like the fact that HostPapa is showing strong leadership in this role.

The other benefit we liked about HostPapa is the fact that day or night you always get someone on the phone who speaks English as a first language and who is up to speed with the systems and the latest technology. They do not have 24 hour phone support, but they do have extended business hours (8am EST – 10 pm EST) and they have those hours Monday – Sunday. HostPapa does have email support 24-7-365.

What others are saying about HostPapa

“Hostpapa is a great service provider. Previously I used another company that was significantly more expensive. I was under the false impression that they would provide better service. After years of difficulties I switched to Hostpapa and not only did I save money but the service and support were significantly better. I strongly recommend Hostpapa.” – Tim Prins, HostPapa Customer

Support Options

HostPapa offers 24-7-365 support by email and they have their phones and chat desk manned 8am EST – 10pm EST Monday – Sunday. Support personnel are very knowledgeable and friendly and hold times even during the middle of the day are down to practically nothing. In addition HostPapa offers a complete set of free video tutorials plus an extensive knowledgebase full of information for the do-it-yourself types.

Money Back Guarantee

HostPapa offers a 30 day money back guarantee if you decide to cancel and is usually issued within 1 business day upon the written cancellation.

HostPapa Web Site

HostPapa’s web site is very informative and easy to use. Their knowledgebase is found when you click on the support text link from the home page and the link to their complete set of walk through video tutorials is in the middle right of the home page. Both of those areas are very informative and easy to use whether you are a novice or experienced webmaster.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a solid and trustworthy host, HostPapa is one of the better companies out there. They have pretty much everything put together including a huge feature rich package that will allow you to host practically any type of web site and their pricing is very good, especially with the size of the package and the fact you can host 11 web sites.

Support is also exceptional compared to other hosts and although they do not have 24-7 phone coverage the extended phone hours every day of the week and the 24-7 email support are far better than many that we have seen. This is a great hosting provider with a strong reputation and you really cannot go wrong with HostPapa.
