“good”

I am a network researcher, the server is very good, very strong performance, the current experience is not bad, it is said that this can open ip forged features, I am contacting the staff opened, hoping to get good support, if it is easy to use, I would recommend my friend to buy it. In addition, the time for the dedicated server to be on the shelf is very fast. It would be better if the background panel can provide a customized system image.

“Absolute garbage”

-ToS 14 days refund policy is a lie -VPS are shut down without your permission -You're immediately forced to purchase upgrade, because they limit your VPS due to "excessive CPU usage" -Dashboard information is deliberately misleading (including bandwidth usage) -Customer support is limited to "please send email to %differentdepartment%" Purchase at your own risk.

In our first year of business, we worked with three different well recognized hosting companies. Although our expectations were really straightforward I must say that being let down by all three of them made me skeptic about hosting services. That’s when a friend introduced me to HostSailor. All we asked for was timely support and good services – since then, HostSailor offered a number of benefits that have played a key role in helping us expand operations and grow our business! Thank you!

It's a good service for a really good price.
Their support always responds quickly.
I recently upgraded my VPS hosting plan and after the payment in less than 1 hour, my new plan was already active.

However, at first when I wanted to upgrade my plan, they offered me some discounts and I opened a sales ticket just to inquire about the opportunities. I clearly wrote in the message (also in the subject line): upgrade my plan. And after the third message, they told me that it's only possible to use discounts if I order a new plan. It should have been more efficient if they would just say me this information in the beginning.

But overall I'm really satisfied with the service.

HostSailors DDoS protection feature gives us peace of mind. Their hosting platform is reliable and their customer support staff is efficient. We could not have asked for more.

Scam company. It treats their customers like a garbage.
On May 1st in the evening I ordered a VPS.
In the morning on May 3d I got a service suspention notification. Reason: "Hosting Child Porn". But I didn't hosted any porn on my server! Then began a fully stupid and futile conversation with support and abuse department. All my afforts to prove my innocence ended in failure. Support could do nothing and always refered to abuse deparment. I sent three letters to the abuse department:
3 May evening. Me: explain to me suspension reason. Abuse department: ignored my message.
4 May morning. Me: request for fully abuse report. Abuse department: fake and inadequate response. (see below).
4 May. Me: this porn site is not on IP of my server. Provide me with full abuse report. Abuse department: ignored my message.
Today 5May, server is still banned. Abuse department doesn't respond.

The most wonderful was the answer of the abuse department. THE FIRST: they just threw me a link to some porn site and they said that this site had the IP adress of my server. But it is not true. This site is hosted at another IP, not on my server! THE SECOND: they noted that the abuse report was sent before 30-4-2018. But on 30 April my server didn't exist yet! I ordered it on the 1 of May in the evening. It's really incomprehensible.

My conclusion: anytime this hoster can just rip-off you and you loose your money and data. They don't care about their reputation.

Due to the nature of this matter, our abuse team do not take chances on such cases and therefore must take immediate action, at this moment after further investigation we did receive an abuse report from a Dutch authority on the 2nd of May 2018 which was a valid date and matched your account, therefore our team had to shutdown the access to the service until the investigation is over, at this moment I suggest you speak to our team as they have been trying to contact you.

What I liked the most about HostSailor is its setup time. The company had my servers setup in a few hours and ready to take on the full load of my website. Impressive!” -John Teller

No setup fee, no contract, and free incoming bandwidth all offered by a web hosting service? Are you serious? That is how I reacted when my friend told me about HostSailor. I just had to experience it myself to believe it! And I was impressed! All this is 100% true. Great job guys
