These guys are a joke. NO SUPPORT. Seriously, they are never availabel on the phone or online. Go look, try their chat, they are likely offline. Phone? Nope Brian F. admitted they NEVER answer and call you back when they get around to it. Why go with Hawk Host when plenty of other hosts offer true 24/7/365 support. You get what you pay for, and Hawk Host has cheap service, cheap support and a cheap attitude.

Hawkhost is dependable, fast, and my experience with their support group has been outstanding every time. The negative review is sour grapes IMHO - I have been using Hawkhost for many years and compared to other hosting companies I have used - they rank much higher.

I was forced to close my account and move on to a new host and because they ruined everything so much and set me back I can't even get all my websites back online due to them ruining my business and me needing to focus on repairing the damage they caused.

Hawk Host is the most worthless, unknowledable and rude host out there. All creative types who don’t have enough time to constantly fix their website due to their career needs to find a better quality and more knowledgeable host. I highly suggest anyone who’s looking for musician website hosting, band website hosting, fashion & glamour modeling website hosting, artist website hosting, photography website hosting, or any type of business website hosting find a better alternative.

Hawk Host doesn’t care. They provide the poorest in customer service. Their techs will speak down to you, they will move around your files without your permission, they will delete files and your databases without permission. They will not take into consideration if you’ve had a lengthy, loyal relationship with them, they will still bully you and ruin your website and refuse to help you with the most mundane and simple requests.

They are NEVER available to answer the phone. Their chat system mostly doesn’t work, Sales is on during the day but forget using it for support. Their ticketing system is faulty and they do not reply to about half the emails you send in. They are far behind the competition when it comes to tools to be able to support their customers.

They have no apparent customer service training or skills. They are more concerned about being right than retaining loyal paying customers.

After they destroyed my website I had to cancel and move to a host that was available 24/7/365 and that doesn’t make it a practice to play around with their customer’s files and break their websites.

Also if you run monitoring on your sites you will find that they go down, mostly weekly, sometimes daily so this company is simply not worth it. Don’t waste your money and don’t believe anything Brian F. tells you. If you encounter Troy in abuse expect that he is more concerned about waving acting authoritarian and talking down to customers than he is concerned with actually helping them and RETAINING THEM. He will make threats to you that they will keep you from ever getting to your files again. He, as well as Brian F. and everyone at Hawk Host don’t care for their customers. Do not do business with them or you will regret it. The worst web host is Hawk host!!! I

The server is very stable. I have never experienced downtime.

The support is extremely helpful! Since day one when I try to move my magento website from my previous host to this new VPS host, they helped me completely move the website and set it up and running without any additional charges.

For any questions, even the low priorities, they reply to me really fast and very helpful. They even help me solve my website's problems which is far beyond my expectation.

Recently my website was hacked due to my own negligence.They even helped me restored my website! This is a host you can trust! I'm getting so much more than I paid!

I have been with Hawkhost for at least two years now. Very rarely have I had problems and when I did, they were handled quickly by support tickets.

You get what you pay for. We host our company's site with them. Was down for long periods twice in the last couple of month. The last time (NOW!), they don't respond, no one answer phones over there, we are 'out of business' and their system is dead. Will switch hosts the minute their site is up and running again.

I've been using Hawk Host to host my fergus dollar store website for a while now. I initially picked Hawk Host for it's pricing and package options and I couldn't be happier with the service they provide.

I have yet to experience any downtime, the site loads extremely quickly and the support has been amazing.

I've been with Hawk Host for just about a year now (I'm using their Reseller Package) and have received nothing but quality service.

Like most people, I've tried a variety of hosting companies and, although I haven't had many troubles, I've dealt with overloaded servers, slow customer service and various account limitations.

Hawk Host's reliability is great with little downtime, the cause of which is always explained before hand or immediately, if it was unplanned, but what really stands out is their customer service. I have sent a handful of "tickets" to support and I always receive an answer promptly (often within minutes).

Finally, as a Drupal developer, I require large MYSQL databases (locally hosted for performance) and above-average server memory requirements. Hawk Host fits all of my requirements (for only a few dollars per month no less!) and more.

If you are looking to setup a website, especially one powered by Drupal, WordPress or any other CMS, I highly recommend Hawk Host.

I've had a website with Hawkhost for about 8 months. I highly recommend them. They have fast servers. Support is top notch.

I issued a support ticket at 1:00am in the morning. (I messed up on a Joomla uninstallation)They responded to the ticket and had the problem solved in 20 minutes!!

I don't believe you will find a better host. 24/7 support. Fast servers. Price is excellent.

They run specials for new clients. Go to their home page and click on the "specials" tab. Right now you can get 40% off on shared hosting.

The sign-up process was a breeze; we got our account information *minutes* after our payment has been processed. Although it took 24 hours for DNS to propagate (which is normal), Hawkhost gave us a temporary URL so that we can FTP the files. This means that we can already use the host to upload while waiting for DNS propagation.

We had a little problem however with our credit card falsely labeled as "fraud" (the reason being our order came from outside the US, from the Philippines to be exact). This however was ironed quickly by HawkHost's excellent technical support. A few minutes of call, and our credit card was approved.

So far HawkHost has not been down under our watch. So far satisfied with their service, and so so far from that of PhilHosting.Net, our previous Hosting.

If only HawkHost would also support ASP.NET, this would be perfect.

I've been with HawkHost for about 15 months and more. I'm very impressed with their super fast servers and great support. I had experience with at least three different companies. HawkHost is by far the best. Reliability of servers are excellent - didn't see ever downtime.

Support is amazing - ticket system works just great.

Features are unlimited and great including a most important one "R1Soft Restore Backups"

Performance is excellent. I really recommend it to people.

I've been with Hawk Host a few months and have been very satisfied. The cost is very affordable and the service has always been prompt and helpful.

My site was down for short time on January 1. I sent them an email about it and got a response from Tony within 30 minutes. I was surprised at such a fast response since it was a holiday. He explained they were upgrading the servers and the new server was having a problem with some coding on my site. He figured out the solution and got my site back up within a half hour.

I've been bouncing between hosts for years now, never quite satisfied. I had a decent run with bluefur.com (formerly monster hosting) but left due to their overloaded servers (I moved between several machines before finally jumping ship). HawkHost was a bit of a gamble as they are a smaller company but I came across a few reviews from people whose comments seemed like they knew a thing or two about hosting and decided to move several of my sites over to HawkHost. That was six months ago and there have only been a few minor issues which on a shared host is unavoidable. Each of the issues was handled quickly, competently and with full disclosure of the nature of the problem. Their severs have been very responsive and reliable. The configuration of the servers is that of a top notch cPanel setup with no silly permissions or domain setup issues that I've encountered with several other hosts.

If you have yet to find a host you've been happy with, I definitely recommend you check out what HawkHost has to offer. Behind the usual laundry list of features you'll find these guys really know their stuff.

I've been using Hawk Host since the beginning, and I couldn't be happier. After trying several other hosting services I settled on Hawk Host, and it has by far surpassed my expectations. The up time is nearly 100%, the service and support is professional and friendly, and most importantly FAST. Hawk Host was a great decision for my hosting needs, and after being with them for so long I wouldn't trust my web hosting with anyone else.

Hawk Host has the best prices I've seen, especially for the service and support they offer.

My websites are always up and running, I can get 500kb/s+ down 24/7 and I'm always able to reach someone for support when I need it.

I currently have 2 accounts and 7 websites hosted from Hawk Host and recommend it to anyone who needs a good reliable webhost.

Let's see, signed up with them on January, due to to my previous host being unreliable. I have about 4 total domains and I get about 35 Thousand unique hits a month.

Reliability,

The server I'm on (mars) was only down three times, two of the times were for planned maintenance. So overall, I have a very good uptime.

Support: Don't need to send in a lot of tickets, but the times I do, they get answered in under 45 minutes.

Features,

Meh, it has everything I need & want, so it's all good.

Pricing.

I'm a cheap bastard, so I used a coupon to only pay $65 for the whole year, and I get 10GB of storage and 100GB of bandwidth.
