Price Increase. Everyone knows cPanel has raised prices, so hosting companies have to pass it on. But, HostMantis raised prices by almost 100%. As the cPanel price increase is nothing close to 100% and effects mostly reseller accounts, which my hosting isn't, this is just a huge price increase for no reason.

UPDATE: Read this before order from them: As a speed, maybe they are good (attention, not the best, and still have a lot to implement and configure), but the support and the way you are treated, leaves something to be desired. It treats you badly and it's hard to answer your tickets. I find it crazy that we had a 25% PERMANENT, but every year all the products are still refreshed. It's trivial. Look for another more serious host, for example, RackNerd.

I found hostmantis on some forum related to hosting when they posted some offer around 2 or 3 years ago. i signed up just because it was super cheap and i didn't have any expectations. But i got a reliable hosting with good speeds. I didn't face any down time or issues. However, as promised they didn't continue the life time promotion offer. In offer i got for $10 USD per year for life, now i it got increased to around $70 USD. Still it is worthy and i am happy to continue.

We've used Hostmantis for many years, we orginally started with a promotion. Slowly they cancelled our promotion packages, now they have started throttling SSD packages down to SLOW the speed of website the entire I/O is very very slow. If you have more than 5 or 10 visitors looking at your website at the same time, it will take forever to load. The service is impolite and can be arrogant at times. No use of SSD if they choke the I/O down and pile on everybody on the same server. I hope they truly improve their service. Update: The point is that the NVME claims SSD are useless if the IOPS are throttled heavily. We barely have 10 to 30 visitors a DAY, and if those visitors complain about the load speeds then its a poor experience. My IT person has doublechecked and found it to be slower than the previous packages.

Yesterday the 18th of March 2021 I decided to sign up for the entry hosting with Hostmantis and I got the error message that my card was declined twice (although my card had no issues).I tried to pay by paypal, and even that did not work.But I got an email from them that my account was created.So I logged in with the link provided but my order was flagged as "Fraud" which was shocking. It said explicitly "This hosting package is currently Fraud" So I opened a ticket and "Ticket ID: 830026] Card Declined-Labeled my domain name as Fraud" The point of this review is that Hostmantis has discriminated me as a fraud without giving any reason before I even had a chance to purchase their product.Who do they think they are to label decent people as fraud?Who are you to profile us?Are you the FBI?Show me what evidence you have that I'm a fraud and how I have defrauded your company?There was nothing wrong with my bank card when I called the bank.Please let the readers here know what made you reach your twisted decision?

We've been with them for about a year great OVH servers, advanced DDOS, and a CPU over 3.8 GHZ. Servers made are series after the 2018 year go to OVH website and you will see "advance"series of servers. 1GBS on all reseller accounts works like a charm .They use advanced series of OVH built for best price/performance.We're a small web hosting provider for south and central Europe.The only thing I miss with them is DirectAdmin servers in Germany and France since they have only DirectAdmin option in England,USA and Asia.Reseller DirectAdmin hosting is 3 USD a month with 3 months paid ahead for 50 DirectAdmin accounts,that's 6 cents a month PER WEBSITE!Never had any single problems 2 tickets on 2 months on average that were answered within 3 do 6 hours after sending to them.We're based in Serbia/Europe.I'd really like to see directadmin option in Germany and France by hostmanits tech staff cpanel is ok but a bit expensive.Directadmin is the way to go.Jetbackup and Immunify 360 and the most important thing in the webhosting industry they've implemented both on cpanel and directadmin control panels MailChannels techology for anti spam security otherwise hackers spam each of your accounts with undetectable spam scripts with over 20 k spam emails a day, your hosting account gets suspended you can not find malicious code.Once a saw MailChanllels implemented by them I've signed up without thinking further.

I switched to Hostmantis earlier this year after having a bad experience with Bluehost and have never looked back. Incredibly good hosting with zero issues and great flexibility. No restricted cpanel access, no gripes about occasional resource saturation, just good hosting and great customer service. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Been a customer for about a year now, overall no issues at all, support are responsive not that I need them often and I have services both cPanel and DirectAdmin in several locations. Highly recommended for quality hosting at very reasonable prices.
