Downtown Host Reviews (July 1, 2009)

Review by magicrichard (Review date July 1,2009)
"Review: DownTownHost"
I've just bid farewell to my hosts DownTownHost. I've been with them for 3 years and during that time they have been excellent.

I remember when I was first starting to use them I had tons of questions - all of which were answered patiently. Then I wanted to add a domain (at the time very confusing) and they patiently dealt with me then too. There has been a tiny bit of downtime, but I think that's to be expected and it was only once really noticeable.

I've recommended them to a friend who runs his business sites off them and they have worked well for him too. They are noticeably faster than my friends who (badly) chose to go with GoDaddy.

They are friendly and helpful guys providing a great service. I wish them all the best in the future, and have no hesitation recommending them to people who need the specs that they provide.

My requirements are much lower now and I have switched to GeekSRV where Ed and Terri have already provided some excellent service, and I'll report back on how they are doing in a month or two!
