According to many user reviews they don’t seem to be a good one in hosting business. Most people complained about MYSQL Database Problems and Email Server problems. A few also negatively reviews as they faced many problems while discontinuing their service.

In my opinion they seem to be a bit more expensive than many other hosting company and the plans require more features or upgrades.
