    My Two Months Review with SYN Hosting

    Hello WHT,

    First off, the Review will be more a "question-answer" review...

    Q: Hello...
    A: Saluto amigo!

    Q: Can you introduce your review in a few words?
    A: Sure, why not? I must have gone though several hosting firms before finally stumbling on SYN Hosting. I came here in search of a better, more knowledgeable and reliable company for my new site and my pal's site. After reading and thinking more deeply about some hosts, i finally decided to go with SYN Hosting shared hosting plan. And now i'm back to give my first review.

    Q: When did you start to sign up for a shared plan at SYN Hosting?
    A: I have to say i am glad i finally stumbling on SYN Hosting fisrt May (exactly on Friday, May 15, 2009 @ 5.30 AM). From day one they were fantastic, my account was set up not too long after purchasing hosting. To be honest, i signed up a basic plan just for six months but i get an additional six months completely free by using the coupon code SHAREDSIX . Around two hours after i completed the ordering of SYN Hosting shared plan (exactly on Friday, May 15, 2009 @ 8.08 AM), i received the account activation email from <billing@synhosting.com>. The email content is simple, with:

    • Domain Name
    • Username Password
    • IP Address
    • Name Server
    • cPanel Login

    ...and there is more! and i find it very useful to get started.

    Q: How long have you been hosting with SYN Hosting and how do you feel now?
    A: I've been with SYN Hosting for about two months now and have been very satisfied with their service. I have now made myself comfortable with the new hosting, which is provided by SYN Hosting, a great host that offers a package that i can recommend with all my heart. So far, i've found them to be reliable, honest and competent, with the people at the helm appearing to be people who understand the software and issues that surround running web servers.

    Q: This review is quite strange, you do the questions and the answers at the same time?
    A: What's the problem, no rule exists about who may or may not compile/write a hosting review like this! You agree with me, don't you?!

    Q: Ok, now tell us what is your opinion about the price of SYN Hosting shared plans?
    A: Their prices are not the cheapest around, but i find that they are well worth the price. The old adage, “you get what you pay for”, seems most appropriate in their case, and i would rather pay that few extra dollars for their reliability and competence than to find my sites down for long periods at a stretch, costing me more money than the few bucks i can save in hosting fees.

    But honestly, i feel that their old previous list price is more affordable than the current prices. This's due to the fact that i have not used the package too much. For almost two months, all my sites just uses about 230MB disk space, 3730MB bandwidth, four MySQL databases for four wordpress blogs.

    Q: What do you think about SYN Hosting's support?
    A: So far i've proberbly submitted three support tickets and not one of them have i had to wait more than fifteen minutes for a reply.
    Most are answered straight away! Yup, any support tickets i've submitted are answered promptly (and answered well) by skilled technicians and service staff. Also, SYN Hosting are very friendly and really do get to know each client. I have to say they are pretty awesome.

    Q: Anything more you wanna say?
    A: I love SYN Hosting's honesty and seriousness in providing a superior service. Why not? even though my sites loads nice and much faster than ever, which shows me that SYN Hosting has very stable server, but after one week of sign up, SYN Hosting staff surprise me when they say without any doubt that the server that houses my account not in ideal conditions so need to move my account over to a new server features faster CPU's and more available RAM!. This's a real example that shows they're really honest as a professional website hosting company .

    I now have my hosting paid until 2010 which is of course great. I see no reason to switch to any other host again in a long time!. So I will stay with SYN Hosting as long as everything works well, and i completely believe that they will always strive not to disappoint their customers.

    <<Snipped>>

    Q: And about your conclusions in this review?
    A: Believe me, SYN Hosting is excellent in service and quality. Once you know it, you will understand what i mean. I am not working for them. I'm just a happy customer. Obviously, i highly recommend SYN Hosting with five stars and two thumbs up. Thank you all for reading the review and i would like to hear your experiences with them as well.

    Q: Thank you for this nice review, i hope readers will enjoy it!
    A: No problem, you're welcome. Can i have a beer now?

    There is one important question you left out. "What is your domain name with SynHosting?"

    Yikes, SYN Hosting's name has indeed inspired me to register the SYN Gadget domain name . Btw, sorry about my very late response, i've been much too busy lately!

    Yup, he knew how to run a web hosting company well and how server hosting should look like. Kudos to Pat H and all of the folks at SYN Hosting.

    Thanks . In fact the follow ups make a review more valuable. If you wrote one review and keep it their with out any updates, it will not be that good. Because what happens in future is helpful to track their service quality IMHO.

    Just to clarify, SYN hosting and SYN gadgets are two different entities and are in no way linked apart from SYN gadgets being hosted with SYN hosting?

    I got confused Nice review though, well laid out!

    SYN hosting as the host and SYN Gadget as the client. Hope that's clear .
