Hostpapa Customer Reviews from:
Whoishostingthis.com - a user-based forum where customers can leave feedback about their experiences. There are currently over 60 different reviews of Hostpapa, which will give you a good overall sense of what having a website with them will be like.
Webhostinggeeks - Similar in concept to Whoishostingthis: a customer feedback page where you can read about other people’s experiences with Hostpapa.
Overall the feedback for HostPapa seems to be mostly positive, with their low price point being the main focus of that. People who posted less than positive reviews seemed to have trouble with their customer support, although there were several mentions of others having a good experience when dealing with their customer support. It’s a bit difficult to tell from irate feedback messages, but I have a feeling that the people may have been trying to run websites that were beyond the capabilities of a shared hosting plan which would cause timeouts or 500 errors no matter who you are hosting with. If you have a lot of files, a large database, or expect a lot of traffic then you probably need something more powerful than shared hosting. One person had mentioned that what was advertised as unlimited bandwidth actually had a ‘hidden limit’. Friend, you will run into that issue with shared hosting at absolutely any web hosting company. For reasons I can’t understand, it’s industry standard to advertise your plan as having unlimited bandwidth, and then state in the fine print that it is unlimited up to a ‘reasonable amount’. What’s a reasonable amount? Nobody knows! You can read more about bandwidth on our help center article.
One complaint I saw come up a couple of times that I do think is a legitimate concern is that site backups is an additional service that must be purchases separately. If you know how to make your own backups and run them regularly then this might not be much of a concern for you, but if not then you might want to find a host that includes the service as a courtesy.
HostPapa Green Initiatives
HostPapa is one a few hosting companies to make it a priority to make sure that they are using renewable energy. In fact, HostPapa and their data centers are powered 100% by certified green renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. How does it work? HostPapa purchases green energy tags equivalent to what it costs to run their operations from a green energy supplier, who then puts that same amount of energy back into the power grid. Since running servers and data centers consumes a large amount of electricity HostPapa felt is was important to pursue using green energy and doing their part to reduce CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases. HostPapa works with a few different wind, solar, and animal waste to energy facilities to accomplish this, you can see a full list and more about their green intiatives here.
If having a website that is run on green energy is important to you or your business HostPapa provides several banner images you can place on your website that will certify it has being 100% green energy. Even if it’s something as simple as choosing a green web host, your contributions can have a big impact!
