Web Hosting Review:	- Servers can overload very easily, support does little to fix the issue. - Network infrastructure is horrible, download speeds < 150KB/sec from many US locations. - Very insecure 'VPS' platform, everything under one linux user account.

Web Hosting Review:	I have been with Westhost for 1 year and it was a huge mistake. If you like outages every month- this last one was 12 hours by the way- then this is the hosting service for you, Their prices for VPS are great, but you get what you pay for!!

Web Hosting Review:	I used to love these guys, but recently they have locked everything down. No user based ssh accounts, no su, etc... I also have speed issues. Oh well.

Web Hosting Review:	My site speed has rapidly declined as they over sell their bandwidth. Every attempt to fix the issue was riddled with excuses and the worst thing is if you read their policies, NO REFUNDS.

Web Hosting Review:	Why do I host with WestHost? 1. Above and beyond the mark 24x7 client support. 2. Extremely reliable site uptime. 3. Competitive pricing. 4. Always working to bring the latest and best services to clients. Bottom line, WestHost is truly the best. A+

Web Hosting Review:	I�ve been with WestHost for 7 years. They continue to improve their services with better technology and more options. Tech support treats us like their most important client. You just can't beat their service, support and price, especially on a VPS!
