"Very happy"

I've been using Ethernet Servers since 2014, and they’ve always provided excellent service. I have many shared hosting accounts with them, and for the past five months, I’ve also been using their managed dedicated servers. What really stands out is their support. George, who I respectfully call Sir, is always there when I need help. He’s very knowledgeable and professional, and his assistance has made a big difference for me. If you’re looking for affordable and reliable web hosting, I highly recommend Ethernet Servers. They’ve been great to work with, and I’m very happy with their service. Thanks for everything!

"Service is excellent"

The service is excellent. George went above and beyond. In this day and age, it is very nice to have a real person that I can deal with rather than a chatbot or some nameless/faceless tech support department as is often the case at other hosting providers. Highly recommended.
