I used one of the global WordPress hosting providers for my sites for a couple of years, but I was constantly frustrated with their lack of personalised support and not knowing if they were selling me add-ons that I either didn’t need or were available for free elsewhere. But when one of my sites was hacked, my provider was of no help at all. By contrast, Steve cleaned my site and got it up and running again very quickly. He also helped me with advice on which plugins I should use and which ones I didn’t need. Overall, I was very satisfied with Steve’s support and he is now hosting my four WordPress sites.
