EXCELLENT provider
So extremely happy with Dataplugs. They helped me to migrate my wordpress website and emails for free. Also provide me the useful advice and instructi...
ons to manage and secure the application. They are very responsive (within 4 hours, but often less), patient and knowledgeable.

Very good experience. No downtime in last 3 months.
I signed up with A Small Orange despite seeing many bitter reviews on the internet. I've been using ASO shared (small) plan for 3 months. Never experi...
enced any issue with their service. I've monitored my website uptime with Jetpack plugin of wordpress and tested speed, server response time regularly. Never experienced any downtime in last 3 months. Pingdom shows my website is faster than the 98% website. Actually, so far I'm very happy with their service. It is true that their support ticket is very slow and they took almost two weeks to reply my ticket about registering a new domain. But I never had to wait more than 3 minutes to get live chat support. My ticket was solved instantly via live chat. Another good thing about ASO is their server name and user area interface is very unique and user friendly. Hope ASO will remain consistent with their good service. Best wishes for ASO team!

Overall a Bad Hosting Company
First of, the server will block your IP if you or any of your users (email accounts) failed to log in with correct username and passwords. This happen...
s if you need to set up email accounts on new devices, and if you forget username and/or password. Suddenly EVERYONE in that office using the same IP will be blocked from accessing the email accounts. Dataplugs is NOT Microsoft Outlook user-friendly. One time, the tech support staff even told me that he do not know what is Microsoft Outlook. Many problems when it comes to working with Microsoft Outlook. The many safety and security features Dataplugs implemented to prevent breach of their servers FAILED big time, when the server my hosting plan was on CRASHED. And Dataplug told me to change server settings. There's so many more to mention, but seriously, after only 8 months I am about to call it quits. Unfortunately, stuck with a 3-year plan till 2024. But I will migrate.

SCAM ALERT
They will STEAL YOUR MONEY overcharging your card with increased renewal fees NO MATTER IF YOU CANCELED OR TRANSFERED AWAY! If you complain they wo...
n't give the money back - they only refund as credit to reuse their crap service longer. There are so many reviews about the same scam. AKA. RUN AWAY! Do not trust anything they say. If you have ever registered with them, contact your bank or Paypal to remove ANY LINK before they STEAL your money! I never got my money back even they promise refund on customer support and later change their mind. Don't trust them.
