I try not to write reviews right after signing up at a new host. It seems that every host is great after signup.
Sharktech...after one year...still amazing! As a web developer and wordpress expert, I expect that I am a hard customer to please. I tried a few solutions before moving onto Sharktech (and no, I am not going to bad mouth those companies, they are probably better now). One of my more popular wordpress websites was under constant attack from competitors and the down time was killing me. After reading reviews and a phone call with Tim (who works at Sharktech), I was sold.
I purchased a Atom Dual Core, 4GB memory, 1.5TB HD (really big), and dedicated 100Mbps bandwidth. Once I migrated my site over, it was live. Yes, live; not down. Sharktech successfully stopped the DDoS attacks. I was pleased! I have since moved over to their biggest SSD Cloud Server. I’ve optimized it and it’s quite fast.
Ok, there was a problem...recently...the DDoS attacks were getting really big. When my site went down I contacted the Sharktech support. I upgraded to Advanced DDoS Protection...where my traffic goes through all three of their data centers...and the attacks were stopped.
Overall, I recommend Sharktech, especially if you need DDoS protection. PM me with questions.
