    Any info on Hive.com.my

    Someone suggested that I take a good look at this hosting firm from East Malaysi.

    I did a search here on WHT and came up with no reviews.

    Does anyone know anything about this company?

    It appears that the company is in Kuching Sarawak but their servers are based in the US.

    Are you actually looking at Malaysian Traffic or just Malaysian Support ?

    Support.

    I like the features and cost.

    Is there anyone from the forum that has had dealings with the company in the past?

    Indeed, this is a crucial element that you need to consider. A Malaysian based server or support or both.

    My problem is the lack of reviews on this firm. I cant find any literature.......positive or negative. Only number is international.

    You won't find many Malaysians over here. WHT is pretty much US based, therefore you have better chances in looking for US host eviews instead of locals. Not to mention hive.com.my is relatively new player (domain created in 05-JUN-2003), so I can't tell if they are good ones.

    Try sending them few sales mail during business hour and check how soon and well they respond to you. A lot of Malaysian hosts (even some big companies that I know) are lack in support. So do your own research well.

    Just browsed through their site, looks real cheap

    Give it a try if there's nothing mission critical stuff.

    UUN:

    Thanks.

    I'm not only concerned because of the lack of a toll free number but the fact that there in Malaysia.

    I emailed someone yesterday and as of this moment, no response!

    Believe me, I'm learning some of the tricks of the trade.

    Are you by any chance based in Kuching ? Do you really need to get Sarawak Support ?

    I'm U.S. based and yes, I'm new. LOL!

    The first thing I look for is cost. Wrong move on my end.

    I'm learning, I'm learning.

    Best to get a US host, really. It definitely makes live a lot easier.

    Picking a hosting company is not mainly on the pricing, issue like supports and able to meet your requirements are main concern.
