Reliability
For this price, we were once again very impressed with the reliability of this surface. Due to time constraints we were only able to test it for 4 months, our website did go down due to a faulty hard drive, but they managed to get it up and running in under half an hour, which is incredible.
Server performances were exceptional, with very brief periods of slowness due to peak times. But since they upgraded there hardware there have been no cases of this since. Feedback from our users indicate the majority of them have been very pleased with the service and speed that they have received from Webhosting Pad.
Control Panel
Webhosting Pad also utilizes the easy to use CPanel control panel, allowing you to manage literally every aspect of your hosting account. If you have used this system and can compare it to others, you will you know that it offers unmatched superiority and speeds.
Customer Support
All in all, Webhosting Pads customer support was good. We were left waiting a couple of times for customer agents to respond, but when they did they were able to help us with problems in a very prompt manner, and what was great to see is they seemed to have an in-depth understanding of the technical problems we presented them with.
