Customer comments:

• "I love Hostway - been with them for years. They are bigger now so you don't get quite the personal level of service they once provided, but they are still one of the best in terms of reliability and support out there."

• "I've had problems with different hosting services. Hostway hasn't been error-free, but they've been responsive and the glitches are minimal. They're my favorite hosting company, along with HostGator."
