Support here has been absolutely *fantastic*
Replies are as fast as if you'd be talking to some guy in a store, but handson knows what they're talking about and details it.

You won't find a better host.

Their support is top notch. I had some troubles installing xcart when it was a new release even though I had done it before, and these guys helped me out and got it sorted. They have also assisted me with other xcart related questions that most web hosts would not bother with.

Hands-on are in my view the best Hosting Company ever. They're always on hand to help and resolve problems that sometimes stretch the boundry of their area of control and responsbility. Nothing is unresolvable. Recommended without doubt or hesitation.

We've been using Hands On for a few years now, and can't fault their service. The hosting itself is very reliable, but the main thing is the quality of their customer & tech support. Having experienced other hosting companies where the support people obviously don't have a clue, Hands On are really on the ball.
You won't find anyone better.

I have used Hands On for over two years now and continue to add sites every 6 months or so. Tech support is helpful and responsive.
