They are very competent and attentive to the customer.
Always answering my questions and solving my tech problems quickly and efficiently.
I'm sure I will continue to be a customer for a long time.
Thanks for support
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.

Be careful with this hosting. They are scammers. I paid 3 months in advance and they stole my money. Warez-Host and HostPlay are the same group of scammers.
Stay away from knownhost, they are scammers

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...!!
