    Gone down hill since my first review several years ago.
    Support is poor. They seem to make unannounced changes and screw things up.
    But they are cheap.

    Don’t know what happened but they have gone from an excellent host with very fast customer support, to a host with days of downtime, and rude and slow support. Recently they transferred my site to a new server, forgot to update the DNS entries, and then told me that it was my fault and they had been emailing me. Even though I had not received a single email from them they claimed to have a magical system whereby they can see that all the emails they sent have been read by me (on a gmail account, outside of Exchange, is this possible?). Then when the server fell over they forgot to put PHP into the build and only did it after I had another moan. Then they forgot to put GD in the build, another moan… Moving sharpish.

    Have found their Customer Service to be lacking. Also many pages on our site time out so has made working with the CMS we chose (Joomla) a real pain in the rear

    Have been going downhill rapidly. Unwilling to fix problems which are not easy to resolve – for instance we have been unable to send email to AOL addresses from our domains for 6 months now. At one point we couldn’t even email their tech support as their spam filters were set to block emails from their own domains! Lots of downtime. If you check the forums you will find a selection of people happy with the service, but also a number of people with problems like mine which have never been resolved.

    I’ve rented web space with HU for around two years and I’d describe their facility and service as mediocre at best. Unfortunately the last two months have seen various hardware upgrades which has resulted in the loss of data and access for me and many other HU customers. The loss of access appears to be because of a large number of DNS failures on at least one of their servers. Data loss/corruption has also been an ongoing theme during the time I have been with them.

    In all honesty HU are the most unreliable web host I have ever had the misfortune to use and I would avoid them at all costs.

    Been with them for 3 years, they used to have pretty poor customer services support, they seem to have got better over the past year, response/fixed problems within hours, they are also pretty competitively priced.

    Hosted with HU for 4 years and am now moving. Their service used to be very good, I don’t know if they off-shored their customer service but its now pants! I’ve had 2 servers that I was hosted on taken down for complete rebuilds (currently on Tethys) and they suspended my account for over 24hrs without explanation.
    Other than that I have to agree with the reviews below – service interuptions happen frequently (I’m in the UK) but the cpanel/fantastico features are easy to use and cover most if not all of my needs (Elite package)

    Someone says this in the reviews:
    “Was forced to leave, unprofessional service.”
    Completely. They changed my databases, server, emails the whole shebang couldn’t access anything for 2 months! Nothing. Support would not respond. Then they deleted my account saying they only wanted happy customers! And they didn’t want to refund me. I think they only want people whose sites are uniquley visited by the webmaster and his mum.

    I have not encountered any of the problems that are mentioned below. Their support is excellent and fast. They also have a forum community which is nice,friendly and helpful – admins frequent the forum so it’s very easy to contact them and get to know them – feels personal and connected.

    number5 (no link provided) rated Hosting Unlimited 2 stars.

    Nice set of features at a good price (premiere and basic packages) but servers based in Texas so not the best place to start if you want to use this for a growing business host. 2000-2003 I thought these guys were great but in the last 2 years theyve tweaked some SQL settings which upsert my main ecommerce site – they were quick to rectify it when I chased them up but it was frustrating having a shop down for nearly 2 days. Gernal support is pretty good. My main disappointment is that downtime I found to be far higher than average (was on HU telesto server then HU pan) and reliability is everything these days. Cpanel interface is good.

    Poor poor poor!

    MySQL up and down like a yo-yo. Customer service was appalling.

    Avoid if you can.

    I’ve been with HU for a little over 2 years now.
    Their support is very good and on many occasions they have replied in less then half an hour. Down time can be a problem though (at least on the Tethys server)
    Overall they provide a good service although it can run into problems sometimes.

    Excellent hosting package, never had any downtime with HU and offers plenty of storage space and bandwidth for my needs at a good price

    Poor reliability when you compare them to other hosts which offer the same for the price, i had quite constant downtimes.

    It’s a shame as their customer support was always very good, if you e-mail or post a problem on the forums you always seem to get help within a few hours.

    Far too much down time. Takes days to fix databases. Was forced to leave, unprofessional service.

    I have my webspace and several domain names with Hosting Unlimited.
    A few outages every now and again, but never for long, and they seem to respond very quickly when I report any problems.
    Also they have been very helpful in restoring files/MySQL databases when I have accidentally deleted/borked something.
    Lots of features are offered, and when I signed up, the price was very cheap.
    Very happy with the service all in all.

    Good value packages, quick and helpful customer support. Plenty of additional features but a few too many outages for my liking (database problems and site downtime)

    Had a few problems with MySQL and speed at times, apart from that no problems. Now been with them for 2 years and wouldn’t think of changing anytime soon. Despite the minor hitches they satisfy my needs for our rugby club site. http://www.stivesrufc.co.uk/

    sloth (no link provided) rated Hosting Unlimited 2.5 stars.

    Fast support – but not convincing.
    Poor reliability compared to other hosts.
    Inquired about how to cancel (was thinking about moving) – they cancelled for me.
    Poor nameserver setup (same physical machine for primary + secondary).
    Many MySQL problems – too many connections etc.
    Often very slow – CPanel often very buggy.

    Spend a little more, go elsewhere for higher qualiy hosting.
