"The best support experience I can remember."
What do you like best about HostPapa?

The quick response, helpful solutions, professionalism and politeness, and, most of all, knowledge. Oh, and each team member was extremely patient with me. I had to upload my new company website and replace my old one. My developer was unavailable so I decided to learn by doing it myself. It took quite a few calls and emails (because of me). Each support team member provided nothing less than stellar service.

What do you dislike about HostPapa?

Nothing. My web developer switched my hosting to Lunarpages several years ago. As with my recent experience, I can't recall once where he had any problems at all.

What problems is HostPapa solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simply to have my site reliably hosted as a source to showcase my small advertising company. My site primarily showcases my experience and work I've done.

"Pleasant Reps Who Know How to Solve Issues"
What do you like best about HostPapa?

The reps are always helpful. Get to the point and offer advice. They know what they are doing and never give you the runaround. Always feel valued and that they are there to help and assist as best as possible. Very courteous as well.

Open hours. Wish that you were open later. I think that it used to be open later.

"Very efficient"
What do you like best about HostPapa?

Each representative knew hosting technology well. I felt comfortable in their hands. This is a big deal for areas of whichI am not qualified

What do you dislike about HostPapa?

The personalities were a bit TOO professional (cold), but Lunarpages is a millennium staffed reality, so this is common.

What problems is HostPapa solving and how is that benefiting you?

My client has been complimented on my site, so whatever I can thank Lunarpages for, they earned it.

"Excellant support when needed most"
What do you like best about HostPapa?

I have several websites with Lunarpages andat times problems will occur, usually with new software or changes needing to be made. Lunarpages technical support staff have always been available and eager to help and resolve the problems, even if those problems are not directly related to lunarpages.

What do you dislike about HostPapa?

I really do not have any dislikes at this time and I have been a customer for over 6 years. If I had to pick any one thing it would be the wait time when everyone is experiencing problems and the line is long. But then again, that is business and as frustrating as it is, I do understand.

What problems is HostPapa solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to offer our technical skills and products more readily to the potential clients and reduce the amount of persons in our direct sales force. Instead these people are now working very well in custoner support.

What do you like best about HostPapa?

The pricing offered makes it an affordable option for a small business.

What do you dislike about HostPapa?

If you choose a shared server (lower priced), your email could get blacklisted because of a rogue business sending out spam on the same server.

What problems is HostPapa solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Lunar Pages Response - Suspended Email Account"
What do you like best about HostPapa?

I like best the help I was offered by J.D. with customer service which prompted me to complete this survey.

What do you dislike about HostPapa?

I dislike several factors, including particularly, the initial response from Lunar Pages. I am frustrated with the robotic answering machine (which is often wrong) as well as the inability of staff to get a quick hold of a manager when requested by me to do so.

What problems is HostPapa solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Lunarpages as an essential ingredient to manage our email system. Generally it is a reasonable service however when problems do occur, it's a lengthy process of having it taken care of. Lunarpages makes it difficult to solve and the first representative is usually neither willing nor able to solve the problem as opposed to just submitting whatever information I provide for someone else to take care of.

" Call back service a definite plus "
What do you like best about HostPapa?

As Lunar Pages has grown, they have maintained their commitment to personal service and direct communication when it comes to customer service.

What do you dislike about HostPapa?

Occasionally I have problems with my email servers but they always fix it quickly especially if I call for help with the problem. Sending in a help ticket has proven to be an inefficient solution.

What problems is HostPapa solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use later pages for web hosting and email and I really appreciate having everything in one place.

"Reliable web host we've used for many years"
What do you like best about HostPapa?

They have lots of packages to choose from to suit your needs as far as storage space, email accounts, hosted domains. Many tools like file manager, dns manager, hosted exchange, mysql. We use for standalone html pages and wordpress. Great customer support that's easy to reach and explain things or fix things for you. For complicated issues they can give you a detailed log of errors to help you diagnose problems.

What do you dislike about HostPapa?

I've used faster hosts out there. The pricing isn't the lowest. We had some issues setting up new email accounts that got messy but we were able to resolve it. There are some issues that you'd hope they can actually help more hands on but sometimes they say it's your website and can't really do much else.

What problems is HostPapa solving and how is that benefiting you?

Able to have an solid online presence to promote our business and serve as a hub for customer and lead contacts. We can explain our services and showcase our business in an easily accessible way. As a host, Lunarpages provides most all of the features we need for our situation like having php and mysql.
