    Hostpapa have been hosting my own as well as multiple client websites for more than a decade now. I have found their customer service extremely responsive with live agents on call and quick follow-ups & prompt resolution of issues. In the busy high-tech world of today, this human interaction & response is much appreciated. Wish Hostpapa the best. Please keep this level of customer service going. It’s what sets you apart.

    We can strongly recommend Hostpapa. The customer service is amazing and always helpful. We never had a problem. The only issue we have is that the website is quite slow when you’re on the basic plan but this can be resolved by going to the pro plans.

    I’ve been with HostPapa for 12 years+ – I think that really says it all.
    They are reasonably priced, easy to use even for beginners, fast, reliable with many free tools and add-ons to help you run and develop your site.
    Whenever I have had an issue which is rare (2 or 3 in 12 years) they have always been prompt in resolving it i.e. almost immediately.
    I would definitely recommend them.

    I have been a HostPapa customer for nearly 4 years now. I must admit I was a little sceptical at first and was concerned about after sales support and technical support. however I must say that the support channels have been excellent and issue resolution second to none.

    I would have no hesitation in recommending them to a colleague or friend.

    Host Papa has been my web host provider for ages and I’ve received consistent & reliable service at very reasonable rates. On rare occasions when I’ve encountered problems with my website, the support team have been quick to respond after I’ve opened a ticket, and have efficiently & professionally resolved the issues for me even when it hasn’t always been a quick fix. I would highly recommend this company to anyone seeking a host provider.

    So I just started to use HostPapa. I’ve contacted them with a couple issues and they’ve answered pretty fast and have helped with everything. I haven’t had any trouble with the server. The only thing that could make it better is if it was a little faster. This would benefit greatly my SEO since the webpage is not all that fast downloading. But other than that, the service is pretty good.

    I have been using Hostpapa for a number of years. Recently, I did a major overhaul of my website. I am not overly tech savvy so I reached out to Hostpapa for help in moving files and making changes. They were exceptionally helpful and very quick to get things done. Their service went above and beyond anything that I expected.

    I was extremely impressed with the quality of support I received from Hostpapa. I had them migrate two sites with hundreds of files. They had it done within hours. Any questions I had, they got right back to me with the answers. I never expected this level of service for a hosting account that costs so little. The price is amazing for what I’m getting, especially when compared to the price I was paying at my previous host. To sum it up: great service, great price and very nice people.

    I’m not an experienced website designer or administrator, so when things go wrong (as they occasionally do) it’s really nice to know that I can rely on HostPapa for prompt, expert and friendly support. I like to support local businesses, and I love the fact that their headquarters are just a few kilometers away. I can strongly recommend them!

    During my time online, and having a number of websites to look after, I have been with a good few Webhosting companies. For my money HostPapa come out among the best I’ve been with. I’ve been with HostPapa for over 6 years now.

    I consider their help/support the best I’ve used. Some years back I did a rather stupid thing, when I deleted my main website, while thinking I was deleting a WordPress update I had already installed. To add to my problems I did not have a good recent backup – a lesson learned. Thankfully HostPapa support stepped in to help me to recover what could be recovered. They were brilliant. I got back most of it and was able to reconstruct the missing parts.

    Yes I am happy to recommend them.

    Each time I submit a ticket I get a response and my issue is resolved without further explanations. I am planning t enjoy hosting my web site with Hostpapa for many years.

    I have four web sites that are hosted by HostPapa. My first one was originally hosted by an ISP in the States whose organization suddenly went dead at the controls, and I found it impossible to contact anyone there to cancel my account and transfer my domain elsewhere. HostPapa provided excellent support in transferring the domain name and setting up the web site. Since then I have created three additional sites, and all of them are hosted by HostPapa. This is an organization that is very responsive to its customers’ needs. I have always found that support tickets are handled promptly and efficiently, and their hosting prices (particularly initial rates) are very attractive. My only concern is that the rates go up considerably after the initial three-year term, as two of my sites are for charities that do not have a lot of money. That said, I would still recommend HostPapa for their excellent service.

    I’ve been a Hostpapa customer beyond the 10 year mark, but in the last 10 years, they’ve worked hard to earn my’s trust. I even notice some of their employees or contractors go beyond the scope of their parameters just to help and support customers where appropriate or applicable. I personally translate such service factors as a true value creation and they’ve earned it so far. I think they will continue to focus their business on People and what it means to them. Thank you hostpapa and I will continue to host/support them and refer my friends and others to go with them… not only because they understands technology but also they care about the people.

    I transferred my web hosting and domain services to HostPapa several years ago (like… 7-10 years?). It has the full range of hosting tools and services, at competitive prices, with knowledgeable and responsive customer service. And I like that it’s a Canadian company. Whenever anyone asks me about web hosting, I tell them to look into HostPapa, as I’ve been very satisfied.

    I’ve been with Hostpapa for 8 years, initially attracted by their ‘green’ credentials and pricing. The service they provide is excellent. They host 6 sites for me, 5 of which are ‘add-ons’ at no extra cost! Support is brilliant. My incompetence has led to a few bad mistakes over the years (deleting entire websites, trying to upload one site into another etc) but Hostpapa support has always come through quickly and comprehensively. I would, and do recommend Hostpapa to anyone looking for a quality service at a keen price.

    I can not speak highly enough about the service and backup I get from Hostpapa. I’m only new to working with my own sites admin backends and everytime I need assistance, Hostpapa techs are always there to help. No matter how big or small the issue is (to me they’re all big). Wouldn’t change a thing.
