Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Aspirationhosting.com has been great for me since 2008

[scyllar]

Hello, I'd like to submit a review of Aspirationhosting.com as a happy customer of them since Dec (or Oct?) 2008, and I have been extremely satisfied with them.

Recently I have cancelled my subscription with them because I have moved to VPS as my linux skills increased and some of my projects requires root previliges. It took me months hesitating to leave a sound provider, but anyway I need to cut down expenses.

So I have got a 2 years story... I will try to be short...

Well I came to know AH while I was looking for a Magento hosting plan in the magento community. This company was very new in business by that time, but I saw quite a few good reviews about them. Before I use their service I had very good experience with hostgator and very bad one with just another magento host. So I decided to give it a try, and it proves that was a good decision for me in the following two years.

I had quite a few support tickets with them since then, and some of them were magento specific, and they were extremely fast and helpful to me. I'd like to give a chart of my "impressions" to make the story short:

Support: 10 / 10; Especially James, a very nice person, many thanks for him.
Uptime: 10 / 10; There was one significant downtime caused by IP changing, but that is my own fault because I didn't notice the email alert from them.
Price: 10 / 10;
Speed: 10 / 10;
Magento Specific Support: 9 / 10; The only 9 given because their auto-installer in the control panel was buggy for me, but who knows because magento is highly evolving and unstable by that time. Nobody can offer 10 out 10 support for its community nature.
Overall score: 9.8/10.

I highly recomend this provider for those who wants to have stable and reliable shared hosting service, especially you want to run your own magento store. (I have only used their basic plan - Aspire I, so I would only talk about my own experience. But I assume their more powerful plans should be sound stable too.)

By the way, this is the only host that I setup affiliate for, and I do recomend to magento community members and it seems they also enjoyed it, because I found most subscribers I referred have been using their services for a long time till the moment. If you have any questions about my post, please post here.

Great, detailed review you did a great job! Can you report your domain to the mods? Just click the report button at the top right of your post.

But excellent job to you for writing in such detail, and excellent job for aspiration for keeping you happy (and from what I read) without any glitches.

Thank you for the detailed and favorable review about us, Scyllar.

You are one of the best example of an excellent client and it is sad to see you leave.

I hope you will be back when you have any projects without the need for root access.


P/S: I have gone through our record and I can see your signup date is on the December of 2008.

Congratulations James on an excellent review! It is not good to see your customer leave, though, none the less it really shows you care about your customers and there needs

Hi thanks for the post, but I wonder what should I do as the domains are no longer hosted there?

Hi James you deserve it, and keep up the good job! Best luck for business

@OP,

I think the correspondence between the Aspiration providing the exact signup date might be suffecient. I don't know I am just a member, however I'd rather leave that alone and shed light on the fine job Aspiration has done for you. It's not easy for web hosts to get good reviews (usually clients only post when they have a problem). So when a good review gets posted I think it only fair for the host to get the recognition they deserve!

No worries Scyllar. You can submit your domain hosted with us in the past to the moderating team and they will be able to track back the history of the domain to proof that you are a client with us for that period of time.

Domains provided, I hope the mods take care of it

I have noticed the moderators have not been approving threads lately, must be a new change and may only do this on false or sketchy reviews. None the less the review is welcomed and I can understand why you are having such a good experience with his services.

Hope to see it continue

I confirm that the OP has submitted 2 domains that were hosted by Aspirationhosting until about a month ago, one of them being hosted there since Dec 2008.
