ThisWebHost Blurb:
Once upon a time, back in 2007, a community of web developers and other assorted Internet entrepreneurs discovered that finding good quality hosting these days is like competing in “The Running Man” (or “woman” for you nerdy ladies)… and losing, unlike our hero Arnie.They looked at shared hosting with the big named hosts and experienced nothing but slow, oversold servers, and impersonal automated responses to tickets. They felt like the were just another person in line at the DMV, waiting to be served by the next suicidal representative. When the sites went down (and oh boy, they did.. regularly), they were told that it must be a problem with their connection. Our heroes knew better.
3 Customer Reviews for “ThisWebHost”
Most Web hosting companies don’t know what business they are in. Loads of people sell hosting, some good and some not-so-good. But outstanding hosting is much more than cheap price, which seems to be today’s primary benchmark.
What sets ThisWebHost apart from others is that they know the value of customer service. By selling customer service … along with reliable and fast hosting … well, that’s why we are with ThisWebHost.com and our clients praise our decision.
I just wrote a review for This*webHost on another hosting review site and i am not done yet! I wish i could shout this, they are really different and very honest about what they promise & deliver.
Talking beyond the server, cPanel, WHM, loads of flexibility & other technical stuff they provide, they respect you for being a paying customer which at the end of the day matters most. They communicate well & fast, keep you updated with their Blog, Twitter & emails even for smallest of details that probably you would not bother to know.
Like say few days ago they changed their DNS system to a dedicated server, that does not matter to most users, but they do inform you about it, which is like learning a new thing from them.
They are small now but i don’t think they will be the same in 1 more year! I can sincerely advice don’t go for dirt cheap, unlimited disc/bandwidth plans, that “unlimited” should in fact be word that should keep you away from such hosts in the first place, seriously how much is unlimited dude? Remember that you give peanuts you get monkeys.
Get real, pay good bucks for your money drawing real business, go ahead with ThisWebHost & have a good night’s sleep.

I got some hosting from ThisWebHost in late February, following a promotional offer in a freelance forum that I visit. I currently have a reseller account with them and several websites hosted under that reseller account. I used to host with MediaTemple on a VPS but its bad performance combined with the expansion of some of my bigger projects caused me to look someplace else for hosting.
One of the main things that appealed to me with ThisWebHost was that they advertised that they would transfer all of my sites and data across to their servers for me. It can be a real pain to move sites from one host to another, so this was definitely welcome. I know some of you may be thinking that Cpanel or WHM can do this automatically for you, but I migrated from Plesk and I know they had to go in and recreate databases and all kinds of other stuff. On the 20+ sites I had, this wasn’t a 5 minute job by any means, but they managed to do it within a few hours. Everything worked flawlessly (after I had to wait for DNS) which I almost couldn’t believe, because usually something always goes wrong when moving sites to a new host in my experience.
In the 3 months I’ve had my hosting with ThisWebHost, I haven’t experienced a single moment of unplanned downtime. The only downtime I’ve had was due to updates to the kernel which required a server reboot, understandably. I was told via e-mail about this before it happened, and only experienced a few minutes of downtime. My sites have remained fast, even when some of my bigger projects have generated some very high traffic bursts, and even then I had no downtime.
Support have been really amazing so far. On the rare instance that I open a support ticket it is responded to quickly, politely and usually in-depth so that I’m almost learning something new at the same time. I’m not given what feels like disgruntled “yes” or “no” responses, which I appreciate, because I hate feeling as if I’m somehow disturbing the support team by opening a ticket. I’m a paying customer after all!
Perhaps the only negative (and I don’t really see it that way) with ThisWebHost is the price. They are more expensive than some of the previous hosts I’ve been with, but comparatively I’ve had no downtime compared to the regular hiccups on my previous hosts. From what I’ve read from the articles they’ve posted on their blog, this is because they don’t oversell and offer silly packages, which makes sense I suppose.
All in all I’m very happy with my new host, and I give them a thumbs up!
