"Excellent service!"

5/5

What do you like best about Pressable?

When we revised our website, we found that our website was constantly slowing down, or giving error codes. After LOTS of searching for the problem, we realized our old webhost could not handle all the material our upgraded website. We haven't had that problem since switching to Pressable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pressable?

Can't think of any, it's been working well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pressable:

Pressable is a great choice! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pressable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our prior webhost could not handle our new website. Our website would slow down, including not redirecting people to pages on the site. With Pressable, we have never had that problem! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pressable provides a level of technical/account quality of service that is unmatched."

5/5

What do you like best about Pressable?

Technical Support is provided by real people that truly care about your site and your business. I have utilized Pressable for a year and it is a joy to work with their technicians who I have been on a first-name basis for nearly the entire year. I retired from the United States Navy in 2017 after being a cryptologist, information systems manager, electronic key manager, and web designer for 20 years. Pressable gives me the confidence that my site is in good hands not just by the features they offer, but because of the quality of people that they employ. Of all the equipment and infrastructure I have utilized Pressable has provided me a level of security and ZERO stress that I greatly appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pressable?

There is nothing about Pressable I dislike. If there is one thing I wish was different I wish the Site Management page provided an auto-login feature to the WP-Admin area for each site managed. I am not worried about this however because I have voiced this idea to Pressable employees who are very engaged in customer feedback. I have no doubt that this feature will be made available in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pressable:

Using Pressable leads to a life with lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I have also noticed an 82.3% decline in the accumulation of grey hair over the course of 90 days of monitoring while utilizing Pressable. If that all sounds good then one needs to only ask why they are hosting their sites on GoDaddy or Bluehost with these life-threatening ailments induced by stress and disappointment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pressable solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are many solutions available to a web designer: Dedicated Servers, Virtual Private Servers, Shared Hosting, and basic WordPress hosting. The problem with these other solutions with smaller teams with limited resources is that it is not an efficient use of resources and time. With Dedicated and Virtual Private Servers you need to either manage all aspects of updating, backing up, patching, and maintaining all aspects of cybersecurity regarding your Dedicated/VPS which provides a fixed amount of resources. With shared hosting and basic WordPress hosting you are dealing with inconsistent quality of service and generally across the industry customer service that does not treat you like a valued customer or that your site is as a priority. The level of trust and confidence is nothing like what I have consistently experienced with Pressable every day. I have experienced outages with Bluehost where you submit a trouble ticket and flats for days to unknown people and then 48 hours later I was still offline. I have had similar experiences with GoDaddy. When you have your site hosted with Pressable you click on the intercom chat bubble at the bottom right of the screen you are talking to a real person that cares within minutes and they are immediately working on your trouble call. I have a Virtual Private Server that I call my "car in the garage" I like to tinker on and emulate my Navy IT life, but when it comes to mission-critical web assets I do not trust anyone else but Pressable.

"Super fast with amazing service"

5/5

What do you like best about Pressable?

The migration tool was amazing. It transferred my very complex site over in about 20 minutes and it all worked perfectly. I've used many solutions to do this in the past and it's always turned into a nightmare - but this was the easiest thing I've ever done. My system consists of a website, a learndash based learning management system, a woo-commerce based shop, and a support system based on the wpForo forum software. This is all tied together and heavily customised with over 30 plugins - all of which worked perfectly the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pressable?

The only thing I disliked is that the way the platform is set up means my backup software doesn't work. Support helped me find one that did though so all good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pressable:

I couldn't recommend it more to be honest. Everything about the service is fully featured and really easy to use. Even things like setting up your domain name are fully automated and really simple. Then we come to the service. I'm a web pro so most stuff made perfect sense, but I had a couple of advanced questions which the support staff answered within 20 minutes and supplied me with some great articles that explained what I needed. All in all the service has gone beyond all of my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pressable solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that I'm solving with pressable is that my server was super slow and now my website is always fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pressable saved me!"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Pressable?

I needed to move a site from WordPress.com and my regular managed WordPress hosting service was unable to perform the migration. Pressable saved the day! I love that I can always reach someone through live chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pressable?

I didn't realize that the staging site wasn't a true staging site and would require re-migrating instead of just pushing it to the live site like I'm used to. So that's one drawback. Otherwise I'm very happy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. Support from a real human being is important to us. Our Support team is here 24/7 to save the day. We are always improving(new dashboard coming soon) and hope to streamline the staging site functionality in the future. Press on!

Also, thanks for your note about Smush Pro. I found the conversation you had with us some months ago and can see your request to use it was logged. We still can't support the custom NGINX code requested, but should that change, we'll be sure to let you know.

Until then, please let us know if we can help in any way with your compression needs. We're always just a quick chat away.
