I know that if I send and email or pick up the phone, I'll get through to someone who knows what they're talking about. My warez linking site in Russia runs really quick, which is unusual for a host.

Their respose time is fast. I went thru some growing pains and became a thorn in their paw for a few days. They stuck it out, responded appropiatly and when they called me out to fix the issue on my end, the light bulb finally went off and all is good. I then built a WordPress multisite with 8 sites, i was having an obscure issue and tech support found something i may not of figured out. I am a Known Host expert now thanks to the team working with me. I have previously chosen to work with KH for a previous job as a webmaster for 6 online magazines. Nothing but Paise for Known Host ( I was not paid nor have I received any compensation for this review. lol ) Marc Less
