Love these guys !
I had several chats with people other than Ryan. All were knowledgeable and helpful. But what is frustrating is your operating assumption that I am in...
IT person and understand what is going on. I don't but had a leap of faith and just did what I was told to do. And it appears to have worked!

Great support
I accidentally deleted my entire website (my fault), and my backups weren't working properly, but they managed to provide a backup and support within ...
record time. Saved me from a panic attack. Truly appreciate that! Some cons: a bit slower than my previous BlueHost, but definitely far less expensive. Also uses the latest MySQL on VPS only, not shared hosting.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE
They suck. Plain and simple. 8 months ago, I tried to add a new domain. Despite my hosting package supposedly having unlimited websites to host, I had...
to buy a new hosting package. It took several days for the site to become active. Even then, the SSL certificate was not installed for several more days. It was then that I discovered that they do NOT have an active Help Desk. Nor do they respond to emails or messages on social media. More recently, I was notified that my debit card was declined for my monthly billing. I checked my accounts to find that they were in good standing. I tried to make a manual payment on their website, but it kept denying my card. I tried different cards , all in good standing, but they kept being denied. My hosting account and website were suspended. Even when I was able to make my payment it's still Suspended. Again, I emailed and messaged on Social Media. Its been 3 weeks, and I have not had ANY contact from them. They are not worth the headache at all.

Not good at all
I am using arvixe since 2017. It always had some problems but usually they fixed it in a day or so. 2014 has been a nightmare. A lot of problems that ...
left us with no mails at all. And finally since 24/4 we are 30% of the time with no mails AT ALL and we cannot receive mails from Gmail!!! Support everytime tell me that the problem will be solved and that is escaleted to the admins and that they will inform us when everyting will be ok. After 4 days the ticket automatically closes with no feedback. We are seinding again, the same answer, the ticket closes after 4 days. This is going on for the last 3 months... I ve asked for a refund but they say it is not at their policy. I believe that they are going to close soon... This is not a serious company, they are con artists. We are searchinf for another serioug hosting company. STAY AWAY.
