    Precision Effect 6 Month Review

    Today marks the sixth month that I have been hosting under Precision Effect, so I thought, what better way to celebrate than by posting an updated review?

    Here we go, credit out to mattster for a simple, sleek review template.

    My Plan

    Platinum: $12.00 / Month for 1 GB Space / 25 GB Bandwidth.

    Usage

    Now, my website that I host with PE is my friend's bands website. They do not receive 100,000 hits per month, but I do generally make my way towards at least 1 GB of bandwidth usage per month, while I am currently sitting at almost 60 MB worth of Space usage. I like to know that I am able to fluxuate and host side-websites with ease.

    Support

    Since my last review, I have not needed to submit any tickets for help. I have not received any complaints from other people about the website having problems and thus, have had a smooth ride since my beginning. Incase you may not have seen my first thread, the only real problem I had was finding out how to navigate myself around the new panel as PE is my first Plesk webhost. In the end, it was simple and easy and they were great with tutorials and things to help me along the way.

    Uptime

    You can see right here, that their uptime has yet to drop past 98% which I believe is a great reason to consider Precision Effect for your webhosting needs, as it shows that they are able to withstand usage without seeing much, if any, downtime. I'm impressed thusfar and hope the trend continues for many more months.

    Speed

    Uploading and downloading files to edit are about as fast as blinking 3 times real fast, depending on the filesize. I have no complaints about their hosting speed and website wise, downloads are a rarity atm but the odd file has come pretty fast. Very good for me so far in this category.

    Other

    They are good with notifying customers a day or more if they plan to do some maintenance work, which I have noticed, has been a rarity. Nonetheless, they have been a great company thus far and I can only see many more months with them.

    Conclusion

    I would recommend no other Plesk webhost to you, than Precision Effect. You will not be let down, should you choose to go with PE , top notch company

    Quick Update: Today marks the nine month anniversary after signing up with Precision Effect and three months later after this review had been posted.

    I just wanted to take a few minutes and update everything that things are still going great with Precision Effect. I have not seen or heard any complaints about web site downtime.

    A lot has changed since I last posted this, such as their Version 2 release of their website, introducing their new Precision Pro package for businesses and the background work of improvement as always.

    If you're looking for a Qualty, Professional, and Reliable web host, then look no further than Precision Effect. Their web site can be found HERE

    Excellent to hear that PE is continuing to grow and improve upon a service that was already considered to pretty darn good.

    Kudos to you PE. (I personally like the chocolate chip kudos but I don't think that is what I was referencing but after saying that - I'm hungry and think I will get me a kudos in reference to you guys. See what your doing - making me fat.)

    Da'Gum!

    Hi Quartz,

    because of your enthusiasm with Precision Effect, I opened a ticket with a few questions.. But their respond time is not very fast.. After 3 hours I still didn't get any reply.. Is their response always this slow or is it just that I've bad luck..??

    I just looked through our ticket system and do not see a response time over 2 hours for any of our tickets. Please send me your ticket ID in a private message so I can look into the issue.

    Thanks

    Sure, that'd be fine if you posted the ticket ID here. Also, our ticket system doesn't have any tickets from a name of 'nicholas', assuming your username here is your real name.

    Steve and myself both responded to your ticket. I am not sure why you haven't received an email or why you cannot log into our support center. I will be personally emailing you the information that was posted earlier to the address you provided.

    Glad to hear things are still going well after 9 months. Is that uptime report for their homepage or their server? If it's for their server are all of their hosted sites on one box?

    The link to those uptime statistics are for the server that current shared customers will be placed on. Our website is hosted on its own dedicated server, as well as our PrecisionPro plans. We'll give that an update fairly soon so keep an eye out.

    I also get a PE plan today... and my first impression is that PE is very helpfull especially Dave.. and that the speed is fast in comparison with the seven providers I had so far.. And especially if I know the server is in the USA and I'm in The Netherlands/Belgium (small countries in Europe)..

    So must say.. first impression is very good.. hope this will stay..
