I’ve been hosting my websites with various hosting providers since 2003 when I developed and launched my very first website. For the first years I’ve been moving from one hosting company to another — for obvious reasons — until I got to eBouhdHost some years ago (2009 I believe). That’s when my search for the right hosting company stopped and I’ve been hosting my websites with them ever since, using VPS and dedicated servers.
In May 2016 one of my websites (LottoMatic.info) kind of went viral all of a sudden and is getting at the time of this writing even over 1000 visitors at the same time according to Google Analytics.

The dedicated server and the infrastructure provided by eBoundHost handles this kind of traffic without a problem and I have all the reasons to expect this to stay as it is for the future when traffic will most likely increase based on the last month trends.

eBoundHost support is fast and professional and if there is a problem they look deep into it, report back asap and fix it fast.

I don’t know how other web hosting companies do at this point in time as I didn’t host with anyone else for years but I know this much: eBoundHost is reliable and affordable web hosting company.

If you’re looking to host a website with 10K+ unique visitors a day, I know for sure eBoundHost is one of the best options out there.

Thank you eBoundHost!

I have been eBoundhosting customer for nearly a decade. While their services have been good overall their finance department sucks big time. Not only do they see nothing wrong of making unauthorised charges on my credit card details but they also refuse to remove credit card details. The last time this happened they promised not to store my credit card data. Not only did they break this promise but made an unauthorised charge on my credit card (while we were seeking clarification of the invoice issues a couple of weeks before). Worse still it has taken many emails and phone calls to get back all of 69 USD refunded and I am still waiting on another 87 USD. Yes, not big amounts but that is why it sucks – I have not shifte to an alternative hosting provider (which is more expensive but I hope also more ethical in its business practises).

831web.com / The Midweek Inc. has been using eboundhost.com services for quite a few years now. They are always helpful with support. Mainly, I can call them and talk to someone.
Their product pricing is also the best, another big reason we stick with them. Their staff is very knowledgeable of the software and hardware that they run in their machines.

I give them an AAA+++
Thanks again eboundhost for keeping our customers and ourselves happy.

eBoundHost is by far the one of the best hosting providers out there. We were using another hosting company before switching and we could not be happier. Site speed had improved dramatically. The sales and support team are great, very responsive. Emails are answered right away and anything regarding support is handled quickly and professionally. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone. They made switching to them extremely easy.
All and all a great company that is focused on service.

Eboundhost sucks. Nobody’s answering their support number. Nobody is replying to email. My website has been down for more than 2 hours and nobody from their support is updating me. Whenever the website is down, and you send them an email they will reply once it is up again and tell you that it is working fine.

I have been with ebound for a number of years and have grown less and less satisfied. When I started with eboundhosting they had me up and running without too much trouble. From the beginning there have been intermittent outages that last for just minutes. Mostly this shows up when my email program can’t access the server. There were times when I could not access web pages as well. Invariably if I contacted support about this by the time they responded the outage was gone and they said everything was working just fine. So it was hard to get them to take this seriously.

There have been a few outages that did require them to repair things. I could never get any indication of what had been wrong or what they had to do to fix it. They would always reply they were working on it and when it was fixed they would tell me to “try it now”. I never was given any info I could pass on to my customers to give them some feeling that this is not a regular occurance and that we knew what we were doing.

This past year the outages have been more frequent, especially with the email and I am being told it is because I am on a Plesk server and that the Plesk software is “insecure” and unmanagable. One more than one occasion the webmail interface and the Plesk control panel were shut down requiring us to use different ports to log in. There was no advance warning and I had to file a support ticket to find this out.

I was told that sooner or later I would be required to switch over to a Cpanel server which “runs better”. They claim that the Cpanel software does everything the Plesk software does but it doesn’t really and the way you have to do things is rather different, not just for me but for my customers. This is turning out to be a HUGE pain for everyone. I can’t believe that Plesk doesn’t provide adequate support and fix security issues unless a user doen’t have support or doesn’t know how to manage the updates. I can’t say which is true for eboundhost, but right now I am very unhappy and I expect to leave soon… but not too soon. I don’t want to inconvenience all my customers again.

I’ve been hosting on an Eboundhost VPS since Feb 2010 and have had a pleasant experience so far. I run a simple, static, low-maintenance, average-traffic website, and rarely needed any support. My server runs Plesk with full root access, and I have made some custom modifications to php, cache-control, etc. My website has been running for over one year without needing any support; in fact, I even forgot where I was hosted! I only needed their tech support in the beginning and they patiently helped setup my VPS. I have graduated from medical school and and extremely busy with residency – I’m glad my hosting issues are over *phew.*

The Verdict

Plans from eBoundHost.com come in a wide range of costs and sizes. Individuals and businesses
alike may find a suitable plan. However, this hosting doesn’t come with a site builder, templates,
or really any beginner tools. The live support feature will come in very handy if you have
minimal technical skills, because many of these plans will require some know-how.
