Let me start by saying that before this, I didn’t have any experience building a website for use and hosting one online. I’m a computer nerd, but my specialty is hardware, not software. I have now had a website hosted through this company for 4 months.
I found out about this company (MonteCarloHosting) through the SMF website. I sent multiple e-mails and messages back and forth with Christian (owner) asking him newbie questions and his response time was incredible! After decided to go with his company and screwing up some files while experimenting, I even asked to have my account reformatted to the way it was on day one, and it was done before I could even blink! It seemed like he was almost sitting at his computer waiting for e-mails. Now, I’m a businessman at heart and with most things in life I demand great service and quick response times. I am extremely picky in this regard. I was thoroughly impressed with his service and it continues through today. He took the time to answer questions about things unrelated to the hosting itself and helped with questions related to my forum, etc.
Just last week, I switched from SMF to vBulletin. I sent him an email asking if he had any experience with the impex importing and asked if they provided a service to do it for their clients (honestly expecting a definite "No" as far as the service is concerned). He responded very quickly (as usual) saying that he would gladly do the import FOR me, at no cost to me. We set a date/time for it to be done and sure enough, he did it for me and let me know when he was done and I could take over with customizing the forum. Even after the import, I had many questions about the file setup with the import and he was once again extremely fast with his responses. I pulled up the support ticket after all of this was said and done and we sent in excess of 30 messages to each other within a matter of 2 days (mostly 1).
I’m a member of many forums, and at times they can be extremely slow and it’s beyond annoying to me. The speed of the hosting has been absolutely incredible. There has not been a single time that my site has been down either, and there’s someone on the site 24/7.
Beyond this, they have a deal where they will include the cost of your domain for the first year with your hosting package. It was a nice bonus (you can get the discount code off of their website in the “Weekly Deals” section)! I saw many other hosting companies out there that were less expensive for more space/bandwith, but that’s not everything. Without the service and the speed, hosting is absolutely worthless and bad hosting can kill a site (seen it happen).
If you’re looking for paid hosting services, I would VERY HIGHLY recommend them. I have recommended them to many people already and I will continue to do so. Christian is a stand-up guy, an excellent business man, and these are things that I appreciate very much. I could not be any happier with their services.
I hope this helps some of you out with your decision. I highly doubt you would be disappointed with this company.

A link to my website is in my signature if you would like to test for speed or anything. The threads in the “Favorite Road Discussions” section are very picture heavy.
If you have any questions for me about my experiences with this host, please feel free to ask!
