My company was using the hosting services of the Soft layer from last several years and I found the company is up to date. The company offers no. of plans which varies with the features and meant for the different web sites. The provider offers great features via their different web hosting packages and amazing web hosting services to the customers. The staffs of the company were also very efficient in resolving the queries of their customers. The staffs are readily available 24 hrs a day to assist me out if I face any kind of issue, whether technical or other kind. Overall I am very pleased with the hosting services, web hosting plans, great features, good customer and tech support and I want to be with them for long.

I have been using one of the web hosting plans of Softlayer.com from last six months but I found the services a little bit satisfactory, not as per my expectations. There are several reasons behind this opinion of mine. First, the company promised to offer some particular features in their plan but they were not really offered by them. So, they do not fulfil their promise. Secondly, the features they promised to offer, among them some of them are available and some of them are not available. Third, their services are not satisfactory. Fourth, the support they promised to offer in the starting was not properly offered by them. As per them, their customer care rep are available for 24 hrs a day to help their customers to deal with their all types of problems whether customer or tech support, was actually not available as when I try to reach them via phone, either their staff does not pick my call, or if they pick, they don’t respond properly with appropriate answers. The answers which I received from them sometimes were not up to the mark and also not suitable to the query. Like, first if they respond then the response time is long and secondly that was also not very reliable and great, which delivers you satisfaction. Next, high quality web hosting services were not offered by the company. Next, the prices at which their different hosting plans available are also not affordable. Over all, my exp is not good as I am not satisfied with the packages, services, features, and prices of the company. Please avoid this company and avail the services of any other web hosting companies to host your websites such as iPage, Host metro, Just host , Arvixe, Go Daddy, Just cloud and others

Excellent hosting services offered by the company. They offer high quality and reliable web hosting packages having great features such as unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, SSL Certificate, cPanel and other features in order to fulfil the requirements of their customer’s web site and with supportive and great customer support. I think their customer care rep are properly trained and with this they are qualified and experienced too, they know how to handle the customers, how to resolve their queries, how to talk to them, and most important how to satisfy them by providing accurate, reliable and appropriate solutions of their issues.

I like the services of the provider very much. I used it from last several years for my four websites. The web hosting services they offered contain high quality. The plans company offers were reliable and the features which they promised to offer in their hosting plans were also really offered by them. If I need any kind of tech or other assistance, they offer good and reliable customer as well as tech support. They always guide me properly by providing right directions and try to resolve the problem ASAP. Great work done by the company as well as their staff members.

Softlayer software and support sites and uptime are so good, I rarely have to call them or access tech support. When I do (once or twice many eons ago) they were very helpful.

Amazing e-mail web hosting services are offered by the Softlayer.com. When I started using their hosting services, I felt very happy as I don’t face any problem in the context of the downtime of server. My web site opens in just a second and the web pages they contain also loads very fast thus it attract max no. of the visitors because people mostly like the site which can be accessed in just few seconds. By this max traffic was also generated. And if I face any issue, I contact their supporting staff members and they very quickly respond to all my queries.
