Just sharing my experience with Exabytes;

I find it quite ridiculous that their so called business hosting servers conduct daily maintenance / backup solution which according to them (and that they've admitted) will cause server high load and "will not be taking down entire services". However this is true only if your website is ridiculously small in size.. if you have websites using CMS, the loading speed is so terrible to the point that your browser will just give up. I even conducted tests by installing same CMS + website and all applications that came with it on a different hosting server.. no problem at all.

Their support is very helpful and responsive (but not perfect, of course), yes, but I find their "99.5% uptime" is a big lie if their daily maintenance would cause  most websites to be almost un-loadable.

My renewal with them is due now, I am making a switch.

Peace out.

Are you on the "SSD Disk" package? From my 10+ years experience handling a web server, the common culprit that cause server spike during maintenance is due to the rotating disk whereas SSD disk would perform much better.

Says on the website that their server is using SAS hard disk.. but I'm not really sure if that's really what I got for the "EBiz Plus v7 - Linux" package I bought into.

I would recommend you to get a hosting which runs on SSD instead. If you wish to try one, please PM me. I can provide you an account which you may try for a month or two. The simplest test you can try is to perform system backup, an account on SSD hosting could perform a system backup 10 times faster as compared to SAS or the old SATA HDD.
