Hello There,
I’ve been with hostmist off and on for about a year now. I stopped in the middle because I put some projects on hold and sold all my completed websites for personal reasons, but signed up again about 2 months ago.
I use their Touchdown VPS unmanaged in Dallas, TX with no control panel. my main domain is Swiigle.com which is still under development at this moment.
Their staff has been nothing but helpful with every step along the way. They currently do not allow changing your Reverse DNS yourself however all you have to do is put in a ticket and they get it sorted out rather fast.
I have a buddy who I have hired to manage my server and we have setup custom compiled apache, php, mysql, phpmyadmin, email server, with no problem with barely any ram being used. I have never had a problem with their services it has always been up.
Their prices are very good for the service they offer and I would consider paying more because I am very pleased with their services.
The only bad thing I have found is that I do not like their website design but that is a personal thing, as a web designer I like everything I look at to be very stylish and creative however I feel their design lacks because they are hard at work providing good customer service so I have looked past that.
I highly recommend giving HostMist a try.
