| Latest positive review |  Helpful Team Shaheer Jacobs, I've been through many south african web hosts, but find that Hostking is awesome. I had one major hiccup with my website where I broke it by installing a caching plugin into my wordpress and they were willing to help. I like... More that they are 24/7 as I can also count on someone to be around when needed using their live chat. I also have no issues with the speed of my website. It runs nice and fast. Keep up the good work guys Less | Great service! Avigeya Boykova, Affordable and reliable! The support is very professional and skilled. They are available 24/7 and really helpful. I would recommend them to anyone who needs good hosting at a good price. |
| Latest negative review |  After 4 years... Guenther Wockelmann, Within 4 weeks HostKings service level slipped so far down to disconnect a paid account without notice, disrupting file and data transfer badly. Asking myself, is this a new revenge policy for leaving? I noticed recently a si... More gnificant drop in service quality and decided to change to another host. Your behavior is now childish and changed from bad service to disgusting. Less |  They're extremely deceptive in their pricing Seph Reed, The whole "regular price" thing means that's how much they'll charge you once you renew. It doesn't say it explicitly, which is really shady. I wouldn't trust them at all passed that point. |
