Amazing service and reliability
We have been using ionos since we started our venture and they have done nothing but deliver, they are ALWAYS at the end of the phone ready to work wi...
th in you on getting your issues resolved, if you are a beginner they have unrivaled products to get you started at the most competitive prices and offers, if you want to develop and expand they are on hand to give you all the tools you need do to so, all while keeping consistency on pricing. You will have to apply yourself in getting things sorted, but they will hold your hand. We had a great experience with yet again another member of their team today *Mich, server team* which has prompted another review from us.

Happy since 2012
I like how easy WebFaction is to use as a developer. They make it easy to set up databases users and email addresses through their web interface witho...
ut throwing too many options in your face at once, and it's also easy to control stuff through the command line if you're comfortable with that. Lots of good integrations too.

Terrible Support and Service
Absolutely terrible. I have been using Webfaction since 2009. It has slowly gotten worse over time- I got an alert that there was an issue with my...
account - I looked into it and it was something well beyond anything I understood and it wasn't even related to any of my web apps, so it really seems to be an issue on their end. When I asked for help, they told me to hire a web developer to fix it.... It wasn't an issue that was even close to touching one of my websites. I have office 365 for one of my clients passing through the email and I'm not quite sure how to set that up myself- but as soon as I can figure out how to migrate it to a new host- I am done with webfaction. I can go somewhere else for half of what I pay for webfaction anyway- Stay Away from webfaction or who they just sold out to.
