I will start by stressing that I have only been with them for 2 months. I will be back throughout my time with them to drop more information.
I started with Tiny-Sites when they were first beginning business and got a pretty good hosting deal. 250 mb of storage and 5 gb (4.88 actual) bandwith and a domain for what amounted to $12 and some odd change after discount. They answered several questions up-front, in addition to agreeing to instal an SSL for me, as well as switching me from the free domain to one I had already purchased, setting the free domain as a redirect.
I am very new to webhosting, though computers in general have always been fairly intuitive to me. The DirectAdmin control panel is simple, but powerful. Using the installatron I was able to easily install Wordpress. It did take me a while to discover the magic of what an FTP normally does, otherwise I might never have gotten ComicPress properly installed.
I have had one instance of downtime in the two months. I placed a support ticket and was answered within 27 minutes. I'm not sure where they are located, but around my area (Nebraska), it was 8 o'clock in the evening and definitely after hours. The problem was related to another user uploading a BOT. They maintain a backup and had us back online within an hour.
When they upgraded to better plans with unlimited databases and email accounts, I requested information or billing to upgrade to those from a 5 limit plan and was upgraded at no fee, which I certainly appreciated.
I know it is still early and I am not making much use of resources yet, but I am extremely pleased thus far and would recommend them to others.

Sure thing. There isn't a ton of content yet, because it is a site that launches on the 31st, but you can see that I've done quite a bit of work on it. Once I learn more CSS, it's going to really start shaping up.

Thanks for the review. I haven't heard much about Tiny-Sites previously. Seems like they've got some reasonable plans and nice to see another DireactAdmin host.

It looked so bare to me when I first got started. I had used the demo on other sites and they were so crammed full of options. But, I have found DirectAdmin to actually be a pretty powerful setup and the reduced control panel clutter is appreciated. Considering my relative inexperience on this side of the internet, I'm glad I started with DirectAdmin.

Thanks for the review! It's definitely nice to see more quality-oriented hosts using DA.
