I signed up for a Speed Reaper hosting plan 18 months ago, I moved 6 domains and around a dozen websites form another host using a cpanel backup file, they had me up and running in under 20 minutes.

I do the majority of my work at night, after midnight on the east coast of the U.S., if I need tech support it's always a click away and things get done immediately. I really like the fact that I have the same techs every night to work with. I used to dread night time tech support at the old host, you never knew if you were going to get an experienced engineer or some clueless newbie just reading back what it says in the help desk system.

My only complaint would be that they seem to throttle ftp uploads at around 2mb, hardly a problem, and far from a deal breaker. I should probably step away from the computer more often anyway and that gives me a chance on large uploads.

I haven't experienced any outages or slowdowns and my wordpress and opencart sites load instantly.

I've been doing web development since there's been a web to develop on and I have worked with many hosting services over the years, so far my expectations have been met or exceeded with Hostarmada. I think you'd be really hard pressed to find a better host for the same money.

I switched from surfshark about 2 months ago because of constant connectivity issues with their browser extension. Nordvpn has fewer vpn locations but they all connect quickly and work well using the app or browser extension. Some locations were slow and hard to connect to during peak hours with surfshark. I got 120-130mb download speed on a fast server with surfshark, I'm getting 180-200mb with Nordvpn using any vpn location, with the same pc and internet service.

I've had no real issues, just some configuration stuff, the tech support staff are very helpful and they actually follow up for as long as it takes to resolve the issue.

I took advantage of a promotion so Nordvpn only cost me slightly more than Surfshark but it has been faster, quicker to connect, and far more stable than Surfshark was.

I can't speak to the mobile experience, I don't use any mobile devices on the internet, but I am using it on 3 windows pc's and it works equally well on all 3.

All things considered, I'm happy I switched.
