Reliability
Not Much to Go On
There isn’t much detail on the uptime you will receive, the type of technology used or where the data centre is located, so you will have to go off online reviews for this service, which again isn’t the biggest source of information to use. Generally we look at the rest of the service levels that they offer, and get an impression from that – with creativeON they leave a good impression for reliability but as we said, there isn’t a lot we can go on here.

There aren’t many hosting providers in our profile that are based outside the US but creativeON are based in Pakistan and offer a tremendously good service for a great price. There isn’t much that lets them down either, because they have excellent features, tools and other services on show. Definitely worth a look.
