HostSave seemed like a wonderful choice when I was starting in the Web design field a few years ago.  I found it for one client, used it, and was pleased with the response time and the tech support.  In time, I referred over 7 clients to HostSave.

Over the last year or so, however, HostSave's quality of service has deteriorated noticeably.  New client setups were not handled in a timely fashion.  They would take the money readily enough, but they would not complete the required technical setup for a few days.  And as problems would arise, tech support inquiries were taking longer and longer to be responded to.  In one case earlier this year, it took over 3 weeks to receive a reply.

The icing on the cake, so to speak, is when I finally started threatening to cancel a client a few months ago.  I had finally received little to no tech support about my client's downed site, so I emailed and said that I would cancel the account if I did not receive a reply within 24 hours.  You guessed it--no response.  But, lo and behold, when I contacted Billing to cancel, they handled that readily enough.  A business quick to jump to cancel a client but slow as molasses to help him? You follow the logic; I certainly can't.

So I heartily DISrecommend this business.  Had I done more research initially, I would not have spent hundreds of dollars and many hours of my time and my clients' time with these buffoons.

Run, run, run from HostSave.  You may pay more elsewhere, but at least you won't lose money or business due to their idiocy.
