    Decent cheap hosting, but lots of issues

    Date: Apr 14 2020

    Summary: Overall, it's ok for the basic person. But if you're serious about having a good website speed and longevity i'd look elsewhere.

    Positive: Great option if you're looking for a cheap way to host your site. Especially if you're fine with shared hosting.

    Negative: Their support is crap. Had issues with SSL's being issued constantly and they never could keep it working and always had to call in. Was annoying.
