Westnic user reviews
October 21, 2007
I am currently hosting many sites with Westnic.net and I hope to start and host more in the future. I am not associated with westnic in any way. I am their customer and I am really happy with everything they offer. Their hosting features are super cool and so is their customer service. I have a shared account with them. Initially, I had a reseller account with them. I decided to downgrade as I was not able to make use of the reseller account properly. Webhosting is a very competitive niche.
Westnic has been around since 2002. However, I couldn’t find any reviews on the Internet before I tried them. They have over 12,000 or so customers. When compared with other companies, I believe westnic is a small player, but nevertheless their service is at par or even better than most big hosts. When web hosting companies grow big and bigger, they seem to care about everything except for customer services. However, the customer service at westnic seems pretty much okay to me.
All customer requests at westnic are done through the ticket system. If the request is very urgent, you can also make use of the live chat system. Usually, tickets are answered very fast. I opened up a new ticket, and it was answered within 2 minutes. I was really amazed at this! However, if tickets are opened at the wrong time, they may take some time to be cleared. However, all the tickets I opened were solved very soon.
One feature I loved very much about westnic is that they seem to care a lot your search engine optimization efforts. If you have multiple websites and want to interlink all of them, having all the sites on the same ip address may raise flags. In such cases, you can request different ips for each of the sites. These ips may or may not be dedicated, but will help. Westnic also provides you with class-c ips. Till now, I have not come across any other webhost which does this. Most of them will charge money for dedicated ip addresses. In addition, even the shared accounts come with whm. It gives you the ability to create separate cpanel accounts for your domains.
I hope to stay with westnic for a long time to come. And I hope they provide the same services and maintain the same level of professionalism for a long time to come.
