Excellent value for generous allotments of space, especially email account sizes. The price was excellent. I appreciate the generous 100 GB of space and the 10 x 10 GB email accounts. That's a generous size as a lot of hosts are 1 GB max for email accounts or less. The backbone that Makershost uses seems to be very good and they are expanding to the US. I'd seen that Makershost may offer US servers in the future (this year) which I look forward to. The control panel is not cpanel but very intuitive and actually looks more modern. I'm very pleased with their offering so far. When i needed help I received a response to the ticket in less than 24 hours.

The hosting service has a clean ui for getting everything setup. The only hiccup i experienced was from Network Solutions because they take up to three (3) days to get an "Auth Code", before i can transfer my domain over the MakersHost. So be sure to do your transfers with plenty of time on your side! You need to transfer your domain and pay the $8.99 transfer fee in order to get the emails.
