Latest positive review	I am loving the amazin... Oct. 11, 2020 Reliability 10 Pricing 10 User Friendly 10 Support 10 Features 10 I'm honestly just going to paste what I just told the live chat agent here at hostadvice - I never have problems with custome... More r service, but they were ridiculously rude and not helpful. It's refreshingly like a new company from my experience now, after dealing with multiple customer service and billing reps. Love the customer service now, so paired with the product they offer - definitely my favorite web company. I mean that. Can't imagine a reason to go with anyone else if you look at all of the numbers. Especially when you look at Vultr's new high efficiency server that uses nvme storage. Love it. I should definitely shout out the last customer service rep I just dealt with. They may have been with billing, but they still actually worked through a quick technical issue I had. Thanks Jahanzeb Ali! Respect to the people running this hosting company for seeing the turnaround through. I'll definitely be recommending to anyone I do business with. Less	Excellent Services - F... Jul. 24, 2019 Reliability 10 Pricing 10 User Friendly 10 Support 10 Features 10 I started using Typical Hosting about 3 years ago their services are great and I have never had any downtime. Their customer ... More support is great considering they only have an email & ticket system in place and usually I would get a reply within 10mins-4hours depending, but. They have very friendly staff who have helped me with my website a lot! and if they can't do anything on their side they send me in the right direction so I can get my problems resolved. I would also like to add that their pricing can seem a bit much but after using their services I can comfortably say am much happier here than my previous hosting provider. Less
Latest negative review	Abusive Charging My Cr... Oct. 2, 2020 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 2.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 After hurting my website they don't want to cancel my account and keep asking me for money! A while ago they cancel my accoun... More t and deleted my files/website only after a week or so of non-payment. During this time Google de-indexed my website and gave me a penalty as well. The billing problem was only that month. The problem is that they keep charging me while the website was not live. Now they don't want to cancel my account and they are asking me to pay for the previous invoices. Pay for what? A service I did not use? Pay for hurting my website in SERPS? This is abusive and illegal what they are doing. Stay away from this company! Less
