Best Choice Actually f... Feb. 22, 2020 Reliability 10 Pricing 10 User Friendly 8.0 Support 10 Features 10 After about 10 years of hosting more as a website with the "biggest shared hosting offer" on another hosting service (and for... More only one site, the one i always recommended) i wanted to upgrade my setup and maybe host more sites for third people taking a non managed linux vps from Hostens. The virtual machine worked till now like a charm and was always up, the access over ssh and sftp are fast. The domain register service of Hostens ask for your ID or Passport or something like that, something what i never had on other register services. Support is fast, so good over ticket as over chat, but all the technical issues are managed over the ticket operators. I hope Hostens keep the price-service mentality over the years and add with the time more space options for the VPS. Less
Latest negative review	Rejected My Payment fo... Oct. 24, 2019 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 10 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 I purchsed a domain name. They rejected my payment for no obvious reason. When I raised the issue with the support team. They... More told me to purchase it again. Also, they told me to upload my Photo ID (ID , Dirver's License etc). I'm wandering why would they require this? Anyhow, I sent them my National Identity Card and still I'm waiting for them to complete the process. Here is the exact email I recieved "Dear Gandi customer, Thank you for your mail. Unfortunately, we have not been able to complete your order as requested. Note that you will need to start your order over again in order for it to be once more entered into our database. To avoid another issue we require a copy of a legal and valid photo ID (passport, drivers' license, national ID card) of the person who has been declared as the registrant/owner of your Gandi handle You may send these documents to us in PDF or JPG format by replying to this email We remind you that by agreeing to Gandi's contract, you committed your contacts and yourself to always provide full, accurate and reliable identification information.

More should be provided to anyone(especially online portals) like that. BIG Thumbs DOWN!! Less
