They seem to have excellent price and value, but what about support and uptime etc?

They have an advertising banner on their site :angry: that usually isn't a good sign for a company who charges for their services

Yes having ads and such on a company site is a huge no no and red flags should go up.

Also check their little graph in the bottom left :rolleyes:

Their contact us page doesn't provide an e-mail address or alternative contact method which is also a bad sign.

WHT search doesn't seem to pick anything up about this lot.

Nice guy, I believe it is operated by a gentleman named Stan.

I have two old sites hosted with Soniqhost, had found them on eBay. Uptime is great, service is real good.

I now have most of my other items consolidated with Dixiesys, but I have the other two still with Soniq given that things have been working well with them.

I have emailed Stan to see if he could come out here and intro himself.

Hrm.. Google yielded this: http://comparewebhosts.com/ReadReview.asp?FeedId=2841

WildCard, could you invite Stan over to explain this (if possible)? Was it like scheduled outage for system upgrading?

My Name Is Stan and I run Soniqhost.com, as for http://comparewebhosts.com/ReadReview.asp?FeedId=2841
We had an issue with a server, we setup a different server, setup the account on a different server and upgrade the network. The new network and server has had only one down time in the past year and the server was up within 10 minutes. I will Also remove the banners from my site, they where placed there through banner exchanges to promote the service.
