    Fast server, very nice tech support. I simply love this host! Web Host Pro is quite a decent host in all regards, the setup time was amazing, the quickest I've experienced yet, the only disadvantage is the stats service, only basic stats are given although they say the busy improving this. Thumbs Up - Steady so!

    I've been with Web Host Pro for a long time. Their customer support is great. Any ticket I've put in has resulted in a real e-mail response within 10-15 minutes. The team works round the clock and will never show frustration no matter how far you push them. I am not a technical-minded person and they have walked me through everything I've needed to make my hosting experience with them a great experience!

    I bought my first domain in 2005 and trusted Web Host Pro to host my shared server. I've been with you guys through the acquisition and my business has scaled to running a dedicated server. There are plenty of other hosting choices I could go with but with guys like Charles Y on your team, I will stay here. I have had plenty of hiccups and have been a straight ahole to the team there and they maintain and help me get it right. You guys always go above and beyond. That's why I stay with Web Host Pro. You guys are awesome! One Love
