Latest negative review	It is not right for me. Aug. 25, 2020 Reliability 4.0 Pricing 4.0 User Friendly 6.0 Support 4.0 Features 4.0 So i decided to join Cloudways from Siteground after reading about it. So i started migrating my website, as i did, i found o... More ut my website on shared hosting worked much better than their server. Before buying their services i had few questions, so a guy named "Asif" who is apparently the Customer success executive, kept sending me the same pre-written email for all the questions i asked, and then stopped replying me Later, my Websites started getting broke, keeping the fact in mind that my website are active ones and get a good amount of traffic. I reached to their support, they just sent me links to the tutorials, which are just tweaks but not permanent solution. They also promised three days of free trail, i cancelled my account within a day yet they charged me for the time i used their platform, which is again, an illusion. They're not what you will read on internet. Support and the server speed isn't exceptional. Peace. Less	After 20 years I'm goi... Sep. 16, 2020 Reliability 10 Pricing 2.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 I've been an Ionos customer for nearly 20 years (going back to when they are 1and1). They used to really be the value leader,... More but there are lots of places that do better in this area anymore. I was sticking around just because it was a hassle to move my websites to a different host. Recently several things I've needed to do have required additional payment - it seems like Ionos limits me rather than enabling me. For instance, they want me to pay $5/mo for an SSL certificate. They could easily open up the system so I could use (Freely available) 3rd party certificates, but they don't allow it (presumably because they want to milk me for $$$). While they are not a BAD hosting service, you can definitely get more value for your money elsewhere and find companies that PROVIDE AND ENABLE rather than LIMIT you. I recommend looking elsewhere.
