After having built many websites using notepad and HTML in the past, I have grown lazy over the years on managed hosts. Leaving me to forget a lot of the back-end cpanel tricks of the trade. I took a star off of user friendly only because it takes a bit of technical prowess to use the old school cpanel vs. other hosts that have made us button clickers in the back-end. If you are a casual web designer this may be a hurdle, but support is there to help.

Speaking of, the support at HostMaria is top notch in guiding me through our companies' needs and never make me feel stupid and only let me do that on my own. I have never had an issue with downtime or speed though the servers are in the UK and most of my work is in the US. I am hoping they get their US servers back.

Solid hosting with good support as the title suggests.

After being ripped off and f'ed over by one too many hosts, Hostmaria is a very welcome and critical change for me.
Now I can get things done without worrying about a silly error because some host hasn't set the right parameters or properly updated their host side software. Been there, toiled through that cr#p, and never again!

In truth I'm very pleasantly surprised by the service and the support of this firm.
So far, flawless support, and given promptly.
As another reviewer said, I didn't have high expectations as the hosting is so very economical.

I have used this type of control panel before but somehow found the hostmaria control panel to be smooth and effortless, presenting a better experience than conventional cpanel. I can do things much faster and rapidly set up about 7 wordpress sites from scratch with all the email requirements... it's a breeze.

The sites are running really fast, rivalling my more expensive last host by a country mile. The whole feel is of a premium hosting company, without the misery in the bank account.

I'm wary of any lifetime hosts as it's unsustainable. Who needs to suddenly lose everything, with no recourse?
Hostmaria is the next best thing in terms of price as it's economical, but generous with its space, and low in it's limitations for a webmaster.

I expect a great future for this company from what I see so far, and that's why I'm dropping in this glowing review. I'm happy with them and want others to know for their great hosting... I want them to get stronger and stronger which means my sites are even more secure--strength in numbers!

I think myself lucky for having found this hosting, in a sea of providers that either can be really dodgy, or too expensive. Thanks for existing!

So far so good!
I ordered the UK package for 1yr on AppSumo.
Unlimited wordpress installs (within the 100GB storage limit) To be fair I had low expectations until i started to watch their Youtube Channel where you can find everything, a lot of tips and advices too! A little confusing in the begining but once you follow the tutos, easy peasy. I'm planning to move a duplicate of all my websites (around 50) and see the difference. I wish you guys stay in the market for long! long life hostmaria :)
