HSPHERE.US is So Good You Will Forget Their Name!

So Good You Will Forget Their Name!

Today I received a bill for services from a guy I spoke to on the phone a couple of years ago (so he could hold my hand through my HSPHERE virginty loss). I moved my OLD Ensim accounts over there AND I wanted to play with his sitebuilder.

I have NO IDEA how I found him. I think his site had a pretty photo of a chameleon with a red flower or something (I went in through his template site)

His name is Jeffery Kilonsky. He owns a few hosting companies. ONE is http://www.grouphosting.com/ and http://hspheretemplates.com/index.php and http://hsphere.us/

I have had a few accounts there for a couple of years.

Started with 6 month contract.

I spoke to him at setup.

I emailed him when I screwed up my own log on and he gave exact instructions.

He emailed me to inform me the server would be down for 30 minutes on a certain date.

He billed me. Reduced the fee because I had over estimated my needs and over purchased.

He emailed me a "FORM EMAIL" to apologize for a disruption in service of under six hours because of the datacenter along with how upset he was at that data center. and offered a credit.

I received another semi-annual bill.

He emailed me to inform me the server would be down for 60 minutes for upgrades.

I received another semi-annual bill.

I received another semi-annual bill. I paid a year up front.

I asked him if he ever intended to offer WHM/CPanel hosting....and in under five minutes came his reply:

Nope probably not. Hsphere is my life

Jeffery

Oh well...no hope of good, cheap, reliable Cpanel reseller hosting!

http://www.grouphosting.com/ and http://hspheretemplates.com/index.php and http://hsphere.us/

I believe it is a TRIBUTE if a reseller can buy from you and then forget you until they see the bill in six or 12 months.

Don't really understand what's going on here.

It looks to be a review of a company by a satisfied customer. I know its uncommon around here.

That's fantastic! Your right Lubby, it is uncommon around here. Very refreshing to hear someone being that happy with their host! Nice job GroupHosting!

Well now...I do not even remember who all is over there (when things are trouble free it is so easy to forget if you use automated billing or paypal subscription) ...HOWEVER I know one gateway in is through
http://webarama.us/
and it was NOT the FIRST one I got. I do have some custom DNS over there. Let me check for you.

Here we go...(I posted elsewhere about sending some hard drives for data recovery to India) I got a whois on myself:

Registered through: GoDaddy.com (http://www.godaddy.com)
Domain Name: WEBARAMA.US
Created on: 08-Jan-03
Expires on: 08-Jan-07
Last Updated on: 17-Dec-05

I think the first one was webpig.com or something I no longer own.

I have been over there LONGER than I thought. 3 years and 5 months...

It is a shame I do not prefer HSPERE or I would buy MORE from Jeffrey Kilonsky at
hspere.us or grouphosting.com.

I never generated a trouble ticket over there so I cannot provide one. NO JOKE!

I can generate one and we can time Jeffrey if you want. Hehehe...he will lose his mind, as when the server went down he was so ANGRY at the datacenter, apparently he has some OCD issues surrounding keeping hspere.us and grouphosting.com up and running.

The guy is so good he read me whining about losing my hard drives (maybe even here, I do not know HOW he knew) but he resent my logon and pass for primary account.

He writes add ons for HSPERE and makes these really high quality templates
( very PRETTY! )and skins and stuff for HSPHERE and gives away FREE his older versions over here:
http://hspheretemplates.com/free.php

It's funny you mentioned OCD, there was a verrrrry long post about that on here. I think most business owners weighed in and said they thought they had it also.
That's great about him offering his older templates like that. He's either a really nice guy or a very bored person! Doesn't sound like the later though.
Great about your host and keep us all updated over time.

GroupHosting · #11 05-19-2006, 02:59 PM

Your right I think I do have OCD

I am nice and boring guy, so the best of both worlds, haha.

Energizer Bunny · #12 05-19-2006, 03:00 PM

Oh well i wonder how i can get my clients to post also . Strange thing that only few clients get time to post good reviews about hosts,and most post only when they are burned by some company.

Well grouphosting is new to me, never heard of them before.

Great to hear about your experiences. Jeffery is a great guy and I am sure you will countinue to be happy with your service there.

I dont know about bored, but, he is certainly a nice guy. I think we have pretty much every template/add-on Jeffery sells for hsphere (hspheretemplates.com) - as well as having hired him for several hsphere customizations/etc over the years.

Personally, I VERY highly recommend his companies to anyone !
