i HAD TO MAKE SOME CHANGES to my DNS settings, which I have no idea what that means, and contacted support at HostPapa and the agent, Jericho M., offered to do it for me. Over the top service!

I honestly can’t thank Jericho Montoya…

I honestly can’t thank Jericho Montoya from HostPapa enough for the help he gave me with my website.
I was in a really stressful situation and was worried about getting my website back. Jerico could have simply done what was required and moved on, but instead, he went way and beyond to help me get everything restored.
What really stood out to me was his patience and willingness to keep working through the problem. He took the time to understand what was going on, worked through the issues, and stayed focused on getting my website back up and running.
You can tell when someone is just doing their job, and you can also tell when someone genuinely cares about helping you. Jericho Montoya was definitely the latter.
He turned what was a very stressful experience for me into one where I felt like someone was actually in my corner. That means a lot.
Jericho Montoya, thank you sincerely for your patience, dedication, and for going the extra mile to restore my website. I truly appreciate everything you did.
HostPapa should know that they have someone special on their support team. Jerico is a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+ in my book!

Lucas with HostPapa's Technical Support team helped me with a problem with one of my websites today (September 3, 2026).
His help made a particular plugin work the way it was supposed to, which was a big help to me!

AVOID!! BUYERS BEWARE. They breach your privacy and confidentiality evidence is all here!

AVOID!!! BUYERS BEWARE! Their website is glitchy and created multiple debits on my account in a 1 hour period! They withhold your money and mine was around $500 and then do not giving any product or domain through their dodgy transactions witholding. They ignore you for days and provide poor customer response times wasting precious business money and time in going back and forth for a week with big ignorance gaps ongoing and their money back guarantee can't be trusted!! It takes over a week of ignorance then you might see moneyback if you keep following up as they don't!

HostPapa are aware of outstanding debts and takes over 7 days and saying lawyers will be next following up, as they have very little follow up, unnecessary delays and interaction. Quickest response ever below and shows they do know! Do better HostPapa and do what your website says we shouldn't have to wait 30 days for a refund.

See evidence here they act like they don't know then break Confidentiality, Privacy and Data laws in Australia! Use at your own risks as they delay your paybacks they don't provide what you pay for and their website has glitches that resulted in 3 charges that all say HOSTPAPA Accounts don't lie and photographic evidence.

GO ELSEWHERE!!

Reply from HostPapa

Thank you for the feedback, SM!

I'm afraid that we could not track an exact experience that matched what you have described in our systems and the name used here on Trustpilot.

To confirm the legitimacy of the review and figure out what went wrong, we used Trustpilot's Find Reviewer feature to discover more. Please provide any identifying information, such as a ticket or client ID number, that would help us locate your account in our system. This will also ensure that we are looking at the right situation and have accurate and correct data regarding the feedback.

Once we have more information, we will be better prepared to investigate these concerns further.

EDIT:

Thank you for providing the additional details, Shelby!

We were able to locate your account and can now properly address the concerns raised in your feedback.

First, we would like to clarify your comments regarding not receiving a product or service. The domain name you selected is currently registered with another provider. If you are the owner of the domain, we would be happy to assist you with transferring it to HostPapa. If you do not own the domain, however, you would need to select a different domain name that is available for registration. This was previously explained to you in Ticket #1002994.

Regarding your payment concerns, your recent HostPapa order was paid for by credit card. You also informed us of two charges appearing on your PayPal account.

We reviewed our PayPal records in relation to the two charges you reported and were able to identify only one transaction associated with us. That transaction has already been refunded, as communicated in Ticket #1004344.

We also understand that you have chosen to cancel your services with HostPapa and have requested a full refund of the charges made to your credit card. Your cancellation and refund request will be processed accordingly through the ticket referenced above, and we will confirm by email once this has been completed.

We hope this helps clarify the circumstances surrounding your order and payments.

Have a great day ahead, Shelby!

Exceeded all my expectations

Zeum from HostPapa answered my call promptly and exceeded all my expectations of what a telephone call to a web hosting service could achieve. I had been having difficulty obtaining the needed information from my previous web hosting service in order to transfer to HostPapa. Zeum easily found my past communications and guided me through the process. Before the call ended, my website was transferred, live and secure! What a relief!

Competition does not even come close....

I’ve been a HostPapa customer for more than 15 years, and I can say without hesitation that their reliability and level of service are exceptional.

Recently, I decided to move my hosting to a competing Canadian company that was rated among the top five hosting providers in the country. The goal was simply to save a bit of money. The initial transition went smoothly—but once we encountered problems, the difference in service became very clear. Technical support was extremely difficult to access, with response times of two to three days just to speak with a human being.

That experience made me realize just how valuable good support really is.

I made the decision to move all of my business back to HostPapa, and my account manager, Sebastian Moreno, was with me every step of the way. This was not a simple move - we were transitioning an entire hosting operation, multiple websites and domains back to HostPapa. Sebastian remained available and involved throughout the process, even on weekends, making sure everything went as smoothly as possible.

Over more than 15 years with HostPapa, I’ve experienced virtually no downtime. When I need assistance, there are real people available who understand that when you’re running a business, your websites and servers simply have to work.

My advice to anyone considering hosting is simple: don’t choose on price alone. Reliable infrastructure and responsive support are worth far more than saving a few dollars each month.

I would recommend HostPapa without hesitation to anyone looking for reliable, professional hosting backed by people who genuinely stand behind their service.
