Love them
Jeanne Wilmot,

The 24/7 live chat has saved me many times and is always very helpful. I wish the domain hosting were included in the reseller so I could set up the domains for clients more easily. Would be nice to be able to invoice client... More s directly from the reseller account or at least have multiple credit cards for payments from clients. The free SSL is great considering how much others charge. But it is a nuisance to constantly have to regenerate the certifications. This is the 4th hosting provider I have used in 5 years. So far have stayed the longest with them. After the big name ones, this customer service is a dream come true. Less
Impressive work by the entire KnownHost workforce.

Since I discovered KnownHost, searching for providers through the Internet, it has been my biggest blessing, concerning reliability and stability for hosting my web sites.
KnownHost has a fast response ticket system, which ha... More s nothing to envy to online support systems that are supposed to be attended by "humans"...
It's completely real when they offer 99% uptime... And they offer even more...!
Besides, KnownHost is very careful to provide you with better options for your server, in case of price increase by third-party software...
I highly recommend KnownHost's services, with my eyes closed.

Beware of the deceiving "unlimited" capacity, it is not unlimited as it seems!

I'm their customer for more than 10 years. They announce "unlimited" email capacity to attract customers and after few years they start troubling you with TOS violation. The silly thing that, they need us to remove emails old... More er than 30 days! This is really rediculous.
We decided to move to another hosting company, although we regret it because they have a really good customer service. But, as a company, we need flexibility in email storage capacity to at least 6 months, to be able to access emails from multiple devices

I was using their services since 2019, their renewal rates were increased and they pushed me to use upgraded reseller package. I decided to move my files from their server and then happened the WORST thing, They told me on ch... More at that i would be able to move my files till Tuesday, They suddenly suspended my services and asked me to pay 20 Usd in order to access my WHM for 2 minutes to download the backup. I had long discussion with their support team and they were just forcing me to pay money.. My website was down for 4 hours just to wait for their support to respond.Their support team is poor and they can Scam you.
I have left 4 Usd in their so called in house credit, that they overcharged me just to show how faulty their system is.
Stay away and choose a better Web host...!!
