Completely unreliable for production. Good for development.

Outdated hosting.

- Poor network performance (constant 5-120m downtimes)
- Clunky panel (ISPManager)
- Poor tech support, no explanations or reasons for incidents. Just your basic 'we're working on it'.
- No way to attach a CC, you need to pay manually each month.
- 1$/EUR for IPv6 (No, I'm not kidding)
- Constant RBL blacklisting. Not only your /32 address but the whole /24, /16, etc. Which support doesn't care about.

+ Many options if you need a dev server which won't be used in production.

Scam service, just dont buy anything there

Like other customers here said already, its a scam service. You pay for a server and it runs for a day or two, then they tell you to KYC and just supend your server, without any refund if you dont do it. God knows what they do with the KYC data from people who really do this. Stay away from them. Also it seems that they buy fake reviews.

Best Support in Sales Team

I made the payment for a monthly server which was 4.7 yaro on the website PQHOST, but by paying in foreign currency instead of this amount, I paid twice this amount.
I contacted the support immediately and they did the necessary follow-ups very quickly in less than 24 hours and put the additional amount of paid cryptocurrency in my wallet.
I am really happy with the timely follow-up and good support of the PQHOST team who cooperated with me to the fullest.

Fake reviews and scam service

Like many other REAL reviews stating. This service is just made to be a scam. You pay upfront, sometimes for many months or even years to get a discount, then after a few days max they just suspend your servers, either telling you something about it getting used for malicious activities (Which didnt happen), or you get an email about being selected "randomly" to KYC yourself AFTER you paid for months via some fishy website that probably steals your identity with it. They wont give you any refund whatsoever by themselfs, only chargebacks via bank can help you with that.

Stay away from them. There are hundreds, if not thousands other, legit hosters out there that can be cheap as well.

This hosting is very bad

This hosting is very bad. I have ordered a VPS server and the IP of the server was very bad. I requested them to delist the IP from the blacklist. I didn't use the server, I just bought it. Without using the VPS, IP was getting blacklisted. So I told them to give me a refund and they refused to give me a refund, nor did they delist the IP.

They also deleted my account so I wouldn't be able to contact them. Very bad hosting. Beware of getting any service from them.

First time user of PQ Hosting

Support is prompt with their replies and are happy to answer your questions.

Server hosting is up to snuff with other providers minus the backups, which isn't really an issue with Linux instances as you can back up by other means.

Pricing is very competitive. Highly recommended!

They ripped me off

They ripped me off. i paid for one year upfront for a server then after 2 months they simply suspended my vps and want me to provide selfie with passport in one hand and in another hand a paper writing pq.hosting
I asked for service termination and BACKUP of my files, i was said that server will not be started and no backup provided! Take care they are scammers go buy somewhere else, there are many by far better vps providers. I can proof everything with screenshots!

Perfect Quality Hosting to stole clients' money, I got much financial losses

I regret to say that my experience with PQ.hosting's VPS service has been nothing short of a nightmare. I want to share my experience to caution others who might consider using their services.

Slow VPS Speed: The most glaring issue with PQ.hosting is the dreadfully slow VPS speed. When you opt for a VPS, you expect it to deliver the performance and speed that a dedicated server should. Unfortunately, PQ.hosting failed miserably in this regard. My websites and applications experienced frustratingly sluggish load times, which not only impacted user experience but also affected my business operations.

Suspension Without Reason: To make matters worse, PQ.hosting suspended my VPS without providing a valid reason. This happened without any prior warning or explanation, leaving me in the dark and unable to access critical data and services. When I sought assistance, their customer support provided vague and unhelpful responses, essentially echoing the same generic replies as a chatbot. This lack of transparency and accountability is deeply concerning.

Inadequate Customer Support: When issues arise, you expect customer support to be your lifeline. Unfortunately, PQ.hosting's customer support has proven to be unresponsive and unhelpful. It's disheartening to receive dismissive replies that fail to address the real issues at hand. Effective customer support should provide timely solutions and empathetic assistance, which is sorely lacking in this case.

Impact on Business: As a business owner, the impact of PQ.hosting's service on my operations cannot be overstated. The combination of slow VPS speeds and arbitrary suspension has resulted in downtime, financial losses, and damage to my professional reputation. It's difficult to recover from such setbacks.

In conclusion, I cannot in good conscience recommend PQ.hosting's VPS services to anyone. The combination of slow performance, arbitrary suspension, and unhelpful customer support has made my experience with them a frustrating and costly ordeal. I strongly advise prospective customers to explore alternative hosting providers that prioritize reliability, transparency, and quality customer service.

My hope is that by sharing my experience, others can avoid the frustrations and setbacks I've endured with PQ.hosting. Hosting is a critical aspect of any online endeavor, and choosing the right provider is paramount to your success.

I won't buy any vps on this fake site in the future, too.

dont buy here

The internet of the servers is incredibly bad.
For example a server in Hong Kong has 30 mb/s down and 1 mb/s up. Even the other servers in other location have a relatively slow internet compared to other popular providers and always bad connection to china and prob. to other countries too.

The supports is fast until they actually have to do something, then you have to wait for a few hours to get a reply. They just repeat themself and ignore whatever you said before.

Please do not buy your server here. I'd rather go for overpriced servers than buying here.

Unfriendly technical support who likes…

Unfriendly technical support who likes to give short curse replies that are completely unrelated to the question asked.

All their IPs are blocked by Microsoft's SMTP servers so you can't send email to them. You can't actually find this out until you sign up with PQ.hosting, request that you're allowed to send on port 25 outbound, to then find they're blocked anyway.

The trustpilot warning about rogue reviews says it all I think - you have all been warned.....

PQ Hosting remains a strong choice

In my pursuit of reliable web hosting, PQ Hosting emerged as a promising contender. Offering a range of server configurations, I opted for their VPS Hosting—an experience that has been both impressive and occasionally frustrating.
PQ Hosting shines with its remarkable server quality. Opting for their VPS Hosting, I appreciated the generous resource allocation that resulted in exceptional website performance. Load times were lightning-fast, and the stability of the servers translated to minimal downtime—a significant boon for my online presence.
Customer support, labeled as friendly, mostly lives up to its reputation. Swift responses and knowledgeable technicians have been invaluable in addressing my technical queries. Yet, there have been instances of delayed responses, introducing an element of inconsistency that could be refined.
Navigating their user interface, reminiscent of cPanel, proved seamless. Managing websites and domains was straightforward. However, occasional glitches momentarily marred the experience, highlighting areas for technical improvement.
In conclusion, PQ Hosting's server quality and uptime are noteworthy, backed by a commendable support team. While there's room for consistency in customer service and UI refinement, PQ Hosting remains a strong choice for those seeking reliable hosting solutions.

Using PQhosting since 8 months.

I was using pqhosting since 8 months and was persuaded of the excellence of the services offered and the dependability of the connection during this period. There are many tariff plans are available to fit any budget. And they offer servers on 30+locations. Technological assistance of the business for quick reactions and problem-solving.I'll suggest it to anyone.

Dreadful Experience with This Service.

I am utterly disappointed by the level of service I've received from this company. My encounter with them has been nothing short of a nightmare. Let me share my harrowing tale.

In a shocking turn of events, they abruptly shut down my account. To make matters worse, I reached out to their support team in desperation, only to be met with silence for an excruciatingly agonizing period of over 10 hours. Frustration led me to pen down this review as a last resort to be heard.

The circumstances surrounding this ordeal couldn't have come at a worse time for me. I find myself amidst a whirlwind of professional responsibilities, and the loss of critical data due to their actions has only exacerbated the situation. Seeking solace, I turned to Trustpilot.com, where I discovered others who have faced strikingly similar trials.

Their explanation, delivered via email, claimed that one of my servers had been receiving spam emails (I was using an email test server on my VPS). Something in their spam-detection system went awry. It's important to note that I have been using their services since April without a hitch.

My dismay deepens as I recount the events that unfolded. My account was terminated abruptly without a shred of prior warning. Consequently, all three of my VPS instances, including the email server I had meticulously set up, were unceremoniously shut down. And I lost all of my valuable data. The extent of this inconvenience is beyond words.

I've tried every avenue to regain control of my account. Initially utilizing my Google login, I am now met with an error message that states, "Cannot log in to the panel. The user connected to the social network GOOGLE is disabled." My attempts to reset my password have been in vain. To add salt to the wound, I find myself incapable of even submitting a support ticket due to these insurmountable login issues.

Regrettably, their touted support system is nothing short of a façade. They boast various contact methods, but each avenue proves to be a dead end:

Their purported Skype and Telegram on the "Contacts" page appear to have never been operational. Any attempts to reach out have been met with radio silence.
Their chatbot, an alleged solution, is nothing more than an exercise in futility.
Their contact feedback page – a glimmer of hope – also does not work.
I resorted to sending emails to their 2 support emails, desperate for assistance. Astonishingly, over 10 hours have elapsed since, and not a single response has graced my inbox. This entire experience reeks of a scam.

Much like the countless lamentations penned by other customers before me, I've resigned to the grim realization that my account is likely gone for good. There's no point in holding out for their response, as I suspect it may never come.

Avoid this service at all costs. The support is an absolute joke, and their operations appear to be nothing more than a well-orchestrated scam. Spare yourself the misery that I've endured. I implore you, do not become a victim of this horrendous service.

Wishing all potential users a path devoid of the distress I've encountered.

Yours sincerely

worst hosting

Terrible hosting, don't be fooled by the characteristics on the site, but it's purely marketing, speed, performance - everything is very slow. A lot of requests do not go through, the server does not pull even a small load, despite the fact that it ordered an expensive tariff.

Technical support is the worst, the average response time is 3 hours. And the answer will be either a link to Google, or a meaningless clarification on the question that I described in detail, after which you wait another 3 hours.

I switched to another server and forgot about it like a bad dream. Moreover, on another server everything is much better and cheaper
