User Testimonials
InMotion HostingPorkbun
Likelihood to Recommend
For VPS hosting, they're the only host I use or would recommend. They have a budget friendly approach and the resources advertised are accurate. I was disappointed (and unfortunately surprised) to see the I/O limitations of 1MB/s imposed on their shared reseller hosting. It's not advertised but really does cripple shared reseller hosting as nearly any activity on the site immediately starts affecting performance.

Anyone who generally needs to register domains or who would like to have free email forwarding for their domains, especially thoughts working on a budget considering how inexpensive Porkbun is compared to other registars.

Their team was always responsive, helpful and eager to support us whenever we needed their help. Additionally, they followed up each time they supported us to see if the applied fixes to our problems satisfactorily resolved our issues. In all, their support was top notch.

Alternatives Considered
As part of my search for a solid re-seller friendly hosting company, I also seriously considered Siteground. Inmotion Hosting provided a better pricing model, so I went with Inmotion. In the following years, I came across Cloud Access through Joomla's launch program. Their website management tool was awesome, and I recommend individual Joomla users check them out if they want to launch with this awesome CMS. I've yet to experience their customer service, so I'm not sure how it fares.

Simply put, Porkbun doesn't try to overcharge you. You are paying a near-bare minimum cost for each domain while still getting great support, and unlike a lot of other registrars, you aren't being upsold something due to the lower costs. You just receive a good service.
