    KnownHost VPS Review

    I signed up for a KnownHost VPS on 10/17/10. I received immediate notification of the sale and the VPS was provisioned within a few hours if I remember correctly. It wasn't very long at all before I could log in and start making a mess of things.

    All I can say is that KnownHost offers great service and support. The only time my sites have been down during the last 4 1/2 months is when I was the cause.

    My WordPress and Joomla sites have never been down and they load fast, as well as the admin back end responding quickly to commands.

    Even though my VPS is fully managed, I still like to get in there and "tweak" things and often mess things up. Every time I do, KnownHost has responded to my support tickets within 15 minutes, often within 5 minutes, and fix whatever I break. I don't mind the ticket only support as it works and works quickly.

    I have put support through it all during the past few months and they have been more than gracious. Want WHMCS, don't want WHMCS, need SSL, don't need SSL, want sites to have dedicated IP, never mind change it back, made changes to php.ini and now my sites are down, I did it again please fix it, terminate account as I want to try another host reseller, wait that didn't work out so I want to keep the account open, install this software for me, create a cron job for me, I've jacked my VPS please restore from backup, I've really jacked my VPS please re-provision the VPS... KnownHost has been there every time and has never skipped a beat.

    The best part is that a couple of months after signing up for the account, The KnownHost Santa gave me 256MB more RAM, more disk space, and more bandwidth at no additional cost.

    I have not had a VPS with another host to compare service and support but based on my experience so far with KnownHost, I really don't need to look elsewhere. I know when I have a good thing.

    Sounds like you've really worked their support. Crack that whip.

    Great review! Agree 100%.

    I keep the support team busy too......not because I break things.....but because I don't know how to do anything!

    Rachel's my favourite I have to say!

    I think I'm moving my sites to KH soon. Too many people happy with that provider.

    I have a Knownhost VPS package for some of my websites. I really am super impressed with the customer service. They usually respond back to me within minutes of my ticket submission

    Thanks for the review. I've heard great things about them. I am planning on using them later on for my projects.

    KH is one of the best Managed VPS Provider here I was quite happy with them.

    I noticed Knownhost are now displaying a number you can call them on. Sure, it's only sales and not support, but it's piece of mind you know you can actually talk to someone at their company.

    Another reason tempting me to Knownhost!

    Lol, I love the paragraph about support. I will be ordering a KH VPS because of that paragraph alone.

    I expect my support needs to be around the same

    Actually we've "always" had a phone number for Sales and Billing. Maybe it wasn't as obvious in the past but since day one we've had the same identical number.

    Closing to a year with Knownhost. They are great

    I also have stupid tickets but they always put on their professional side and just deal with it Support is just excellent.

    If anything goes wrong, it's probably me and they are always there to help

    I have been with KH for 3 years so far. In the past, I sometimes felt good, else not. Bad feelings have been come more regularly now. Quality of VPSes are also coming down (I have one VS4 and HY1 at KH). The new Hybrid HY1 which I have order a few days ago has I/O sequential write speed at my node just around 40Mb/s. Too bad and unacceptable.

    I am think of moving to another provider. That's why I come back WHT. I would appreciate any suggestion. My VPS requirements are as below:
    Good CPU share
    1.2GB~1.5GB of RAM
    40GB~60GB space
    RAID 10
    Budget $60~$80
    Good network
