While there are a number of awards listed on the website it is important to note that they are a few years old with the last award won in 2006. This does make a potential client doubt the quality of the company since then.
It is important to understand that reviews such as this are meant for information only. Before any decision can be made about which web hosting company to be used, personal research needs to be done.
While they provide all the standard features and services at competitive prices, the lack of awards in recent years makes one think twice about signing up with them. However the impressive client list does weigh in the company's favor.
