    Thumbs up for KnownHost

    I purchased my first ever VPS with KnownHost on January 2, 2012 after reading many reviews in this forum.

    I signed up for their VS3 plan hosted at the New Jersey data center:

    Price per month: $45.00
    1 additional IP: $1.00
    cPanel/WHM: $5.00
    RVSiteBuilder: $5.00
    Softaculous: $1.00
    Disk space: 60GB
    Monthly traffic: 3500GB
    Total: $57.00

    Discount: 15% recurring (-$8.55)
    Monthly total: $48.45

    I know six weeks is not long, but so far my experience has been good with a smooth migration (23 cpanel accounts), 100% uptime and the support I needed as a VPS newbie (9 support tickets) has been nothing short of helpful and polite. What has been very helpful is the support team always reply with the commands they used to perform a task I was struggling with.

    On the downside, I'm disappointed with their credits system. To get a recurring discount I had to sign up for a monthly account, which for me is a nag. Adding funds seemed an obvious solution but any added funds are not acknowledged as received nor shown in my account client area. Billing say they have a record of credits but these don't show to the client in the portal. I have made 4 monthly payments to date and have to hope all is well when invoices are due.

    Overall, I'm happy to be a KnownHost client.

    Thanks for the kind review. I do agree with the credits but this will change as we phase in some new things. Anything you need let us know.

    Reviews like this are always expected.

    I'd be more shocked at a bad Knownhost review.
    They're one of several mid-grade VPS hosts that just really have their stuff together.

    Ditto on the +1's for KH.

    Been using them for almost a year now, with quite a few VPS packages.
    Had a few issues with data-center problems, but that was out of their control.

    They have TOP NOTCH Support, and Service.

    Been with KnownHost 6 months now and still on 100% uptime. I've upgraded twice and now migrated to a Hybrid package. The client account credit balance is still not available but the hosting and support service rocks!

    Knownhost is the best VPS provider in that price range that I have ever used. They even top my FutureHosting/WiredTree experience.

    Imagine how much business they'd pull in with EU servers Amitz?

    Response to knownhost review

    Thanks for the review on KnownHost, i've actually been looking into their services the past couple of weeks and it's good I keep seeing all of these great reviews on them. It's also nice to see what you pay with them because from what i've seen people usually don't post those things so it actually helps if someone is looking to signup!

    Thanks everyone. As for EU servers, it's on the to-do but no ETA at the moment.
