WebHostFace Reviews
#1 Company History
As we discussed a lot in introduction regarding the birth of WebHostFace, 2017 been there fourth year in hosting industry and their greatest strength is the plans and pricing.
I had a formal chat with CEO Valentin Sharlanov and he actually replied to all my questions and I was really excited to test their servers.
WebHostFace office is located at Delaware,USA and few other offices in Europe.
#2 Demo Site Details
As per my testing parameter, I bought a hosting package and installed a demo site on their servers and started monitoring their services.

The cpanel is similar with most providers. Here comes the neat client login where you can check bandwidth and disk space usage without login into cpanel. WebHostFace comes with email hosting, so never need to have a separate email hosting like GSuite.

Check WebHostFace uptime for past 7 months ( Click to expand )
We talked to customer support regarding the downtime issues and noticed there are only few downtimes and uptime robot shows false reports and I double checked it.
Now, we are monitoring the server with another uptime monitoring tool and I will come up with more accurate
#2 Historical First Time to Byte
Based on our testing methodology, I tested the WebHostFace demo site on byte check and the time to first byte is 355ms which is good at least average.
One should consider that the tests are conducted without any caching plugins (using so will reduce first byte time further)
#3 Historical Response time
Again, we checked the site for loading time across the globe and I'm impressed with the results considering the downtime of the servers.
The response time is similar to one with SiteGround and its good considering the datacenter is located in USA. I hope WebHostFace will continue to improve the uptime to grab more customers.
Great insights of #WebHostFace hosting with historical uptime, response time and TTFB values.
#6 Customer Support
WebHostFace has some really good support staff. Unlike some hosting companies, WebHostFace offers technical support both via chat and tickets.
However, ticket support are more accurate in solving the ticket though takes some time to solve.
