Amana MissionHostPapa is the best alternative energy-powered host that I have found. In my experience they are as good or better than every other host I have looked in to. My sites have only gone down a few times in the 2 years that I have been with HostPapa and every time that it has happened customer support has been very quick to contact me and get my sites up and running again.

I have also joined the HostPapa affiliate program and the fact that it is all run with alternative energy credits is a great selling point.

BlairI have been very impressed with my whole Host Papa experience. This was my first experience registering a domain and building my own website and I have only positive things to say about this experience. When questions aroused, tech support was there to help and they went out of their way to make sure my issues were resolved.
Two thumbs up!

Everything is in an easy to use yet powerful control panel. When I need help with anything from them they are very quick to respond and provide easy to understand help. I would, and do, recommend HostPapa to anyone interested in getting started with their own website!

Christine DevlinI am not a computer wizard, but I've found that HostPapa is responsive to changes in the web environment, i.e. accomodating iWeb publishing. They answered my questions in a courteous and helpful manner, despite my lack of expertise. And they inform me of important issues regarding the service, without bothering me with unnecessary PR. My first experience with web hosting has been a success!

I get excellent value for my money, great tech support and their uptime is very good.

I can't really say anything bad about them, it has been my best experience with a shared hosting provider so far.

I would recommend them to anyone.

I plan to be a customer for a long time.

Nancy FradenburghBefore HostPapa, we two other web hosters - one a major phone company, where we paid almost as much per month as our annual HostPapa invoice. We had so many problems uploading our website before HostPapa. Now all I do is click on the upload button and a few moments later our website is up and beautiful. Tech Support has always been a pleasure to call, and even when I forgot my password, the didn't make me feel foolish. I recommend HostPapa every chance I can!

Neil FraleighI have used different hosting sites for my clients websites, most have been the average. HostPapa and all their staff I've dealt with, go the extra mile. Let's face it the only time you contact your hosting company is when you have problems. That being said when I did call, and that has not happened very often, all issues were resolved immediately. Someone actually answered the phone!

Any site new or transferred, that I have set-up at HostPapa, was done in record time. HostPapa deliver what they promise and advertize!
Keep up the great work!

Robin CainI want to say that HostPapa was the best find. When I was searching for a hosting company, as part of an assignment I was surprised to find that the companies people were telling me to go with were either not in the top ten or were far more expensive with less features.
The big one everyone told me about was GoDaddy. Although a nice site it was american and could not hold a candle to HostPapa. The green energy issue was also a big factor for me when it came time to actually use them. Price, green energy , canadian and great tech support as well as the numerous features available. I don't understand why everyone doesn't use you guys.
Thanks I recommend you all the time.
Keep it up.

Christopher AmirianFor me , servers uptime is the most important thing , and Hostpapa made it excellent for me. Also I use plenty of space in one of my accounts and it is really unlimited! Not like so many hostings that they claim that but in real world if you use a little abnormal they will ban you!

The only and only down point of the service is the length of time to answer to support tickets.

KarenI had never built a website before and was able to sign up and build a site in only one month. We have had the site for two years now and we are always doing new things and learning new ways to promote our club. Whenever I had questions I submitted a ticket and the turn around time for a response was very good.

Well worth what we pay for. We have had so many new members join because they found us on the internet.

I'm glad I found your company when I was researching a web host.

During the past 2 years, t6here has been very very little downtime so my website is almost always accessible to customers and web surfers.
For the cost and the efficiency, HostPapa is a great value and a web host I can rely on day to day.
My only problem in 2 years has been in trying to make a late payment to renew my hosting service for another year. It was difficult to get this sorted out with the billing department, but once the matter got to the tech department it was fixed and online again in no time.

Chris MI have been with HostPapa for over a year and have yet to have any problems or notice any down time on not one, but four sites I have hosted through them.

The online tutorials are very easy to follow and the number of extras you get for the very low hosting cost is going "above and beyond the call of duty".

I wanted a Canadian hosting company and am really glad I chose them. I didn't have to give up any quality or capabilities for the sake of being patriotic.

Host Papa is one more reason to be a proud Canadian.

Daryl CowieIn my online management training business my website is my business and I need it to be reliable. After a host of problems that cost me time, money and customer data I switched to HostPapa and my hosting problems disappeared. It's not always easy to tell if things are being done right until you have a problem. With HostPapa they were straight up about what they do and do not provide. Since I was a little gun shy I really checked up on my HostPapa system and I know I'm getting everything I'm paying for. The tech support is much more responsive than my previous company and above all THEY ARE HONEST. If they don't do something they actually say so. This is a great price for great service - thanks HostPapa, I know my management training website and customer data are in good hands.

dianneI've been with HostPapa for about three years now. I have three websites hosted with them and pay only one price. You can host as many different domains as you like, they have a ton of GREAT software to use at no additional cost. One that I use that I am very please with is SOHO Launch. Its a template based website with a free shopping cart. Easy to set up, easy to use, easy to update. I even hired someone lately to build me a custom template. I tried another hosting company that supposedly offers a similar package but I was not happy with their service or with the price or with what I got with it. HostPapa is the greatest webhosting I've used..Great product, great price, great service. Its the best!...and I'm not just saying that...!!!

brian kimostPapa...how very, very appropriate and you'll understand why I say that when you read my feedback on this company. I found them in a search for web hosting here in Canada. At the same time as I was searching I was also taking a course in web design.

Let me tell you that for what you pay, the features you get are unbeatable, together with the support. I'm sure I must have made one or more of them sit back with their mouths open, each time they saw an e-mail from me, wondering, "What has she done now!" (just like my dear 'papa' would have done) They were always supportive and always had an immediate response to my latest self-imposed predicament!

I spread the word amongst the students that I was taking the course with, with no hesitation. When you're new at something you want to know someone's there to help you, and that there's no criticism for your/my ineptitude!

Thanks guys/gals...you're great!

I was new to web hosting and webdesign myself but now, I've brought others into the HostPapa family because I receive a great product at a good price. I do volunteer work for a non-profit organization and being able to do things myself instead of hiring out professional help was a great boost to our success with our website.

Course I started to look up for a cheap price first in here Host Papa is one of the best! As being Canadian for me was important the billing was in Canadian funds so at this point it's highly recommended for Canadian customers first of all, as being very convenient from billing point of view and hey! That's the Canadian stuff and being Canadian support the Canadian product is a must :)
Setup process was very easy and even for a computer noob like me it was very understandable. The interface was easy to use and actually it's got all the features a web host needs, whatever you sell things on-line, using it just to store files, picture gallery and have an extra secured mail server or just for organizing your own on-line forum, you will find all features here and the most important - for free! I was really surprised seeing all these software that helps to build on-line business for free. The other web providers offer that stuff for money so being with Host Papa you have some extra value with that software and actually there are few of them so you can pick whatever you like or which one the best fits your needs. I played with many features Host Papa offers and for some software there are small movies showing step by step how to install or set up certain soft. Very useful for dummies. I tried FTP server and got very happy with that as I store big movies in there and people I share my FTP server with are extremely happy with the speed they can download the files with. So far so good. Can't complain. I've been with Host Papa for last 18 months and highly recommend it to every one, especially to the beginners.

Michael RipleyHostpapa is like many other Hosting companies: Unlimited web hosting, Unlimited data transfer, Unlimited domains, Free setup (no hidden fees), Free domain for life etc. BUT it also gives you a tonne of extras - everything from ad credits for Google, Facebook MySpace and Ask.com to Wordpress blogging tools and Joomla content management. Add to that, it is powered by 100% green renewable energy and you have what I feel is one of the best hosting companies in the world. All for only $4.95/month. Highly recommended.

Hector CentenoOverall great service and great value! And the eco-conscious side of the company was an important factor for me to decide to go with Host Papa.

I administer two websites hosted by HostPapa, my personal one and the web site of the organization I work for. I haven't had any problems at all with my personal web site and have no complains but I wouldn't grade HostPapa full 5 stars because of my experiences with the other site. We have had a few periods of being down. Also we got the account suspended because we missed the single warning message you sent regarding use of space and then your tech support representative was a bit rude over the phone. Also installing and renewing SSL certificates has had it's problems since it has to be manually done by your tech support personal and we have had issues with the certificate not being configured correctly at the first try. The other issue we had was that we lost all our databases because of an electrical problem at their facilities.

But, otherwise service has been great and at a great value.

Ric JonesHost Papa has always been reliable. Uptime is important when running an online business. The customer support has been fast and outstanding the two times I required it over the past 3 years (and it was more finger problems on my part than a hosting problem!)
I've shopped around, and have hosting with another company (it came as a package) and when it expires, I will definitely transfer the domain to Host Papa.
With all the features that are available, you can customize your hosting package to your level of comfort. For me, that is almost as important as uptime!

VictoriaAs a design student, I have been a customer of quite a few online hosting companies, and I have to say that HostPapa is by far my favourite. One of my friends recommended them to me when I was in school after I began having issues with my other host's (lack of) support. I made the switch and immediately saw a huge difference.

The transfer process was simple, and HostPapa's fantastic support team answered all of my questions quickly. I've never had to worry about my site going down, which is important for everyone, whether they're a million-dollar corporation or someone working out of their basement, like me. The fact that they're a green company is also a big deal; we don't need to make a bigger mess of the environment in doing our work!

I can't think of a better company to handle my hosting, and I'd recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

L HernandezI've been using hostpapa for almost one year now, and I have had no problems with the service. The only minor complaint I have is that the price for buying additional domains ( $24.99 ) is quite high, compared with your competitors. I understand that this is because your deal of "free domain for life" is already such a good value, but it would be nice to get additional domains for cheap.

When I've had password issues or other small problems they've been quick to respond. I know I've had to ask a couple of other questions over the past while and again, they've been prompt, friendly, and clear. I definitely like my experience thus far!

Of course, the fact that I'm paying so little for this service is a huge bonus, and I don't have to worry about bandwith or storage. Awesome!

Todd SchickWell....

I have found Host Papa to be great so far.

I left another Webhosting company because of some uptime issues, among other things. After searching around, I decided to try out Host Papa.

One thing I can say for sure...what a difference in speed! Now, this may be due to the fact that my other provider was in Vancouver and I in Toronto (where Host Papa's servers are located) but man...talk about lightning fast! FTP was insanely fast, my site loaded much faster, audio played fast....e-mail was crazy fast....I'm totally impressed.

Support - very good. No complaints.....and I'm happy to say that I haven't contacted them in quite a while, so that will tell you something right here....everything is working just fine.

Keep up the good work!

Regards,

Todd Schick

sherylI have been really happy with Host Papa and recommend you often when the topic of web hosting comes up. It's very affordable for a new business and allows me to add as many web addresses as I need as my business expands.

I am new to website development and chose to do everything myself. I ran into many problems with Soholaunch and switched to Wordpress which has made it very easy to develop my website.

I have had some great experiences with the live online support and some not so great experiences. This seems to depend on who responds to the request for help.

Because I am new to web development, I don't speak computer language. Sometimes the people who responded seemed to forget that not all of their customers are professional web developers and it seemed they would get frustrated with my newbie questions and need for clarification.

And at other times, the support was absolutely amazing with the staff being very patient and helpful with my questions.

All in all, this has been an amazing company to work with. It is easy enough for a beginner to get started on their own with good staff support most of the time.

There was only a minor disruption in service. Full service was resumed in no time flat! I've seen other hosting companies and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Even if it were cheaper!

Let me tell you that for what you pay, the features you get are unbeatable, together with the support. I'm sure I must have made one or more of them sit back with their mouths open, each time they saw an e-mail from me, wondering, "What has she done now!" (just like my dear 'papa' would have done) They were always supportive and always had an immediate response to my latest self-imposed predicament!

I spread the word amongst the students that I was taking the course with, with no hesitation. When you're new at something you want to know someone's there to help you, and that there's no criticism for your/my ineptitude!

Thanks guys/gals...you're great!
