I have a Power_Plan_Plus + WordPress Premium account in Webhostingpad where I host some of my projects and a series of Wordpress sites; mainly from my small business (a cafe), a non-profit foundation and a underground music music blog. I have been with this particular provider (WHP) for more than thirteen years, but a few years ago I think, some company bought them and since then their service has been declining, ; like the costumer support; they are fast to respond, but not very friendly and sometimes they just refuse to help or try to sell you their freelance assistance. And they always try to blame you for the downtime and unjustified restrictions.
I'm not sure if it was around October or November of last year (2021) that they started promoting the SiteLock addon in the admin login page, but since I never had serious malware problems I didn't consider it necessary; until a couple of weeks ago that we found that our main site was been blocked by the browser because it was supposedly infected with malware (I couldn't access any part of the site, as Firefox and Chrome automatically blocked it); which was fixed very "easily" by activating a free version of SiteLock, provided by my hosting provider.
Around two weeks later, overnight all of our sites are blocked as they appear to be infected; my account was temporarily suspended by my provider and due to the "magnitude of the infection" they offered us the SiteLock Pro paid solution or other specialized paid services, but their costs far exceed what I can invest in maintaining a series of web pages (which I don't actually monetize); Not to mention that I find it very suspicious that this had never happened until SiteLock came along (and doing some research I found this article: https://rb.gy/niwq2v which confirmed my suspicions).
Their technical support and customer service departments have been of not help at all (on the contrary, they made us really mad) and they just blame Wordpress for the malware infection.
Now my plan is to ask them to grant us temporary access to my account; somehow clean the malware and back up all the data and DB; then move everything to a different and more ethical shared hosting (change passwords on all sites and databases) and research for free or more affordable solutions to monitor the necessary sites (in theory some of the Hosting solutions I have looked into seem to have better security tools built into their shared plans hosting).
After update of WebHostingPad server we lost connectivity to our CRM system, after sending relevant information to the support team they had us up and running in no time.
On vacation with just my cell phone and iPad, all of a sudden I started getting an error message about the mail server being unreachable. It popped up every 10 seconds and you had to respond to it. It was horrible. You could only type one word and then it would pop up. Webhostingpad, where I have my mail server, worked with me to resolve the problem. This took about an hour and they stayed on the line until I had all the problems solved. I did not have my different account information with me but the support man (Jeff I think) worked out all my account problems. The support he provided was first rate. Thank you webhostingpad Support!!!
Web hosting pad I used long time ago, I tried many other ,then I came back from 4 years ago ,for me it's the best choice , ( prices , features and of course the support.... Really thank you web hosting pad and your team...
I am using webhostingpad for the last 8 years and I am impressed by their support and quick turnaround for any issues and help. Their online chat support is one of the best service I have seen so far.
I've been using WHP for the last 10 yrs and had to call many times the support department for issues that tend to happen when you are hosting and working with WP, it might have been an issue with a plugin or an htacces misconfiguration from my part, whatever the issue I know that if I call they will answer the phone and if for any given reason they cannot fix that at that moment, an escalation ticket for me means during that working day would get an answer that it's fixed or instruction on how to fix it, I am not an expert but feel confident that they are and would provide the support for me when I need it, and that is important, not just to have a low price but to have the support for the end user.
