Brilliant Services
We were forced to move from our long time email service provider due to our business growth and research for a new supplier. Truly so very pleased tha...
t we found Absolute Hosting. We have been with them for about 2 years now and they are so attentive to our needs in our very busy and demanding environment. Their service, support, knowledge and people are amazing, always ready to help and deal with all issues from simple matters to sometimes very complicated requests, delivering the results we need every time. No request is ever to big or small. I can very confidently recommend them to anyone looking to take their IT services to the next level.

FAST Support Turnaround
Opened a support ticket to update the PHP version on 34 of our domains on KnownHost.com. Just SEVEN MINUTES later, I received a notification that all ...

Very bad evil services experience
I have been customer for two years for absolute Hosting, one day i found that one of my system is not accessible online and giving me errors, when i c...
heckout i found that they have deleted database and user, when i ask them they said domain its owing, i told them its not owing, its paid for, when ask them why they delete database, they told me whenever domain has overdue invoice they delete database, honestly i was so angry, never felt so angry, i had clients who use my system in their businesses, it means they cant work because the system is not available online and their data is deleted from database, my clients now think i am bad services provider and going to loose them. When complained they say they are suspending my services for my systems and my services with immediate effect, i thought they joking, they said reason for suspension is abuse,said i abuse them when i complain, honestly it is not acceptable the way the do things, I thought its a big company, i realize the owner is one who handle the customers. I beg him to allow my other websites and software's to remain online until the month end, so that i can have time relocate them to other hosts, still he refused, he suspend all my services, my clients websites and system were offline, it was explaining to my clients about the situation we were going true, some understood, some didn't, i felt so hurt by their treatment. Other accident happened while i was still new to their hosting, i accidentally clear wwrroot, when i upload my application it was not working, when ask support they told me i should pay for more than R800 for them to restored it, i thought they joking, they still have to refund me money i paid in advance for hosting services. Am warning every one who is intending to use their services to look for a reliable professional hosting. Other wise you will be left stranded and confused as i am. I had a horrible experience, am hurting even now as am speaking. I have been using online services for a very long time, i have never experience anything like this, this was horrible evil services i ever had.

From Unlimited to One Site: My Disastrous Experience with KnownHost
Service went downhill after HostAsset to KnownHost limits added, no support, & my sites were shut down. Even their logo looks like a backward arrow, ...
