"Best in the market for price. No stupid IBM Stuck up employees or automated response systems. Customer service is remarkable, worth every penny, they answer fast and solve problems like pros, if you ever have a problem ;). For a mere 19$ a year, you get all you ever wanted. Best deal on the web. This is the ultimate host with the best customer service I've ever spoken to."

"Personally I can vouch for MJZ Hosting. Don't be deceived by the bare (and seemingly unprofessional) website. MJZ Hosting, ran almost single-handedly by Matt, offers a no frill web hosting at unbelievably cheap prices. I have been hosting many of my sites with him. The thing about Matt is that, he is very flexible with your needs, and he responds to your email personally. His hosting plans are really, really affordable. I remember subscribing to his ATOMIC plan — which offers 500MB web space, and 15 GB bandwidth, at US$19 a year! That's like less than US$2 a month! I highly recommend MJZ Hosting for blogger beginners."

"I must go and leave some feedback because I think your web hosting is the best I have ever known! I just had to drop you a line and heap praise on you for delivering a fantastic service! Whenever I have contacted you I have always come away more than satisfied and on the occasions I have have used your technical support I have been sorted out in double quick time. I have never known such a friendly, knowledgeable web host, and considering I have been online for 20 years (okay, so I only started using the net in about 95/6 but I was online with 300 & 1275 baud from 1987) that isn't bad going! I wouldn't be seen dead with any other hosting company!
Thanks for all your efforts

"I have been a patron at MJZ since 2004 and have enjoyed the 3 amazing years to the fullest. Matt runs a tight ship around here and it shows. He is always around to answer emails and fix minor tweaks and details that I am so demanding about. I have multiple accounts with MJZ, and I highly recommend their service, it's light on the mind and the wallet. Here's to many more years of prosperity! Cheers Matt (Decided it was time for a review, thanks for the great service so far. Keep up the great work.)!"

"This is a one-man operation who has truly built a community. He has a volunteer support team and is extremely responsive. If you know hosting, forget those slick Dreamhosters and try MJZ Hosting. Currently I split a reseller package (offering total domain and account creation control) with a friend and get 1.5gb space and 30gb of monthly transfer for my multitude of silly and more serious sites for $50 a year. But the important part is that MJZ Hosting keeps me informed about what's going on, skips the professional front and is straightforward and honest about things, and provides the most personal, knowledgeable service I've ever had. All I can hope for is that MJZ Hosting keeps this up!"

I understand you guys are now on an invite basis for signing up new hosting accounts, but I'm going to plug you guys on all my websites once they all get lauched! I will make sure I send you guys as much business as I can as you guys are easily the best webhost I have EVER had in my life. Ever."

"Over here in France, your philosophical approach would cost extra! I also think that your internet presence does neither show the power you offer your clients, nor for which kind of clients your hosting is well suited. You write a lot, but who reads that? I need to read your home page three times to understand what you are talking about. I propose you to target your clients properly in some clear words and cut out 95% of the text (open a blog where you talk about yourself). I detest marketing when it's used to lie to the people, but why not use it help people make the right decision?"

"Dear Sir,
I am telling you honestly, I didn't cancel out my subscription. I have no reason whatsoever to do so. I really really like your hosting. Wish you had bugdet VPS plans too as I require shell a lot. I didn't even login into my PayPal account. All I did was to follow your link to disk space upgrade, enter the paypal login e-mail & password, make the payment and get a confirmation. Thats it. May be there is a bug in the PayPal system or your integration scripts. I don't know. Is there a way to rectify this?

"Hey Matt,
I'm sorry to be asking this, but can you please cancel all of my accounts (scruple.net, paperbackrhino.com, and sprodmusic.com)? I have absolutely nothing bad to say about your services; I've been nothing but pleased with you every step of the way in the last few years. I've just grown into more of a web developer and have taken on some more in-depth projects that just require a little more from my web server. Have no doubt that I will refer people to you every chance I get, as I've not seen a better budget host out there.
Also, I know scruple.net was just auto-renewed, and I meant to catch that before the fact, but is there any way you can cancel that one and perhaps still refund the price? If it's too much trouble, then don't bother. Just thought I'd ask. Thanks very much.
Sincerely,
Shane"

Hey there,
having an issue with paypal/bank stuff right now it appears. I am probably going to have to withdraw my subscription anyway due to loss of access at work, so unfortunately I'm not going to renew at this time. It has been a great service though and when I get regular access again I'll certainly be in touch.

Alright, thanks for letting me know... is it ok to terminate your account for now then?

Yes that's fine for now. With any luck you'll still have some crazy goon deals when I sign back up. Thanks for everything, the service was fantastic.
Matthew Z wrote:
Good to hear :)
Would you mind if I added your departure note (verbatim) to the testimonials page? I think it creates a really good juxtaposition on the whole... you have a bunch where clients have just signed up and are prematurely happy... some where clients have used the service for a while and are happy... but very little departure ones usually (although I think there already might be one or two up there). It just seems like an interesting concept to pursue... in the sense that quitting something does not necessarily imply the oh-so-terrible-end-of-the-world-omg-the-service-sucked attitude... !

"I just want you to know how much I respect your server service (...), I do advocate MJZHosting to all. Actually, ironically, found out about you in a by immediately needing a new server (after my previous server shut down). By tracing one of my friends sites (who like me, is a Jew, and always finds good deals), I faithfully decided to sign with you. You were only a fraction of the price I was previously paying, and unlike the previous server, MJZ seemed more personally dedicated (less like a inhuman provider). I can only hope you are making a decent living and enjoying your life.
Thank you for providing an unparalleled server.
Sincerely,
Jon Klopfer"

"MJZHosting has been by far the best host i've had yet. I've been with several other hosts including bluehost and dreamhost. MJZ has good customer support. When you are not there to answer questiosn or fix a problem, other clients are there to do that job. This is the only hosting company i have ever seen, that clients help other clients with problems and i'd like to be a part of that."

"When you don't run a site rooted in ecommerce, price for hosting is always an problem. My past experiences with budget hosting had not been pleasant. Downtime, latency, lack of communication, skimpy cpanel, no chance of the company's longevity - in so many cases, you get what you pay for. While desperately hunting for a new option, I stumbled across the raves of those hosting with mjz. Skeptical, but needy, I opened an account with what seemed to be an inexpensive, yet reputable option.
A year later, I'm running a premier reseller account with my main site up in full, while hosting other sites underneath. I always get a response from questions quickly, and the resources available to me at this price are staggering – not to mention his customer services. Not enough can be said for a host that will intentionally cap his client base to continue his high level of quality to his clients. I recommend MJZ with full marks, and will continue to as long as he continues to offer his quality packages.

"I have a couple of small sites hosted with MJZ.
Even though his schedule is somewhat the inverse of mine (with small overlaps) I always seem to get a quick response on every support ticket (few and far between) or question I send him. He's obviously dedicated to his customer service, and he provides transparency with the data centers that he works with - if there is communication during an unexpected downtime or any wide-spread problem, he posts everything he possibly could in his support forum; and makes every effort to please his customers.
I couldn't ask for more in a web host."
tuttletree.com
"I started using mjz with a basic account for myself, to host about 20 sites. I was setup and ready to go within minutes of signing up. The account and all the features I needed worked out of the box. The service was very fast and as far as I know 100% up time the entire time I was with them. I added a couple of extra features and had a couple of support requests that were taken care of with great speed.
After a couple of months I needed to expand to a reseller account (500GB of BW and 50GB of space). I had space with MJZ and with another provider, MJZ's quote for this was better then the competitors and he responded with it within 10 minutes, my choice with who to go with was clear.
I upgraded the account and began adding accounts. I was offering a free service, so I added 250 accounts very quickly, then I expanded to over 1250. Even though this was using a lot of server resources, MJZ worked with me, arranging clients so everyone had the best possible service. He never complained about the unorthodox use of the account, and he was happy to work with me to keep everyone happy.
He offered quick responses to the questions I had for him on behalf of my clients and allowed me to focus on expanding my business without dealing with the technical problems. At one point I had to restore a backup of an Account which turned out to be as easy as sending an email.
The service really shined when I had decided to move my business to a dedicated server. He completely understood that it was time for me to move on and was extremely gracious with the move. He transferred over 1250 accounts for me, even though he had nothing more to gain from me. He helped me get the new server setup the way his was, and get everything configured.
In conclusion:
I had no complaints about the service I received. I received everything I paid for. The support was quick and top notch. The server was fast, had plenty of room on it, and the bandwidth was super quick. Accounts were backed up (weekly), and I was able to get restores. I have recommended him to other people and will do so in the future."

"I have known mjz for some time now, and he has always been the type of person to strive for excellence, weather it be in his business or personal endeavors. I have been nothing short or completely satisfied by mjzhosting. The servers are reliable and quick. The service is always timely and almost always performed with a smile. I trust mjzhosting to support my growing business and host my mission-critical applications such as email, partner portal and customer issue tracking system. 10 out of 10 possible stars. This is one experience where I have gotten much, much more than I paid for."

"First Impression
When I first signed up last September I had just cancelled my last account and reviewed it here. I used the Host Quote feature here to get some ideas. My email from Matt seemed to be handwritten as opposed to most of the emails I got which looked a bit canned. I didn't find many reviews here but decided to take a chance on him because of the personal email. I signed up, and Matt went ahead and created my account even before he got the payment notification! I was very impressed with that, and the speed at which he replied to my first questions. So for my first impression, he gets a big thumbs up!
Support
My site is extremely small, as it's mainly used by me and a few friends as a sort of online harddrive so we can share pictures and other things easily with each other and play with php scripts, so I haven't needed much Support myself. The few times I've needed help I got timely replies, and always with solid answers with none of the stalling that I got from other companies. It doesn't stop here though! I've had the pleasure of sitting back and watching MJZ grow and add features. Matt has added several ways for us to get support even in the short 4 months I've been with him. He's added a nice Support Forum, and a new Ticket system. Matt also mantains an IRC channel so you can get help there too! As I quietly poke around I've been very pleased with all the work Matt does to provide his clients with support. Another big thumbs up.
Uptime
I registered with SiteUptime.Com right before I moved my site to Matt's servers. I wanted an easy way to report my uptime as accurately as I could so you all could see it. So to see the uptime for my site you can view: http://www.siteuptime.com/statistics.php?Id=15893&&UserId=13604 I am extremely pleased with the uptime you can see. It goes a bit deeper though! Recently Matt upgraded to a better server and transfered all of our accounts over. He said his goal was to have no downtime due to the move, and he has done an excellent job of keeping our sites online during the move. Once again I'm giving him a thumbs up.
Communication
The quality of commincation from Matt is great. He is a very honest and frank person, and I never feel like he's out with a pack of wool hoods I find it refreshing and comforting that my host will talk to me like a real person rather then giving me "Customer Service" responses that never answer anything. Matt lets his clients know exactly what is happening with the business and where it's going. Gives a wonderful sense of community that makes his service that much better.
Server
I don't have hard numbers since I'm not sure how to chart this. I can tell you pages respond quickly and I have quick load times when running php scripts. I formerly ran a few phpBB forums and I always had generation times of less then a second. File transfers go very quickly for me, and the ftp moves at a very nice pace. I've been very pleased with this, as I remember the "peak time lag" I had on my previous host. I haven't run into that problem with MJZ at all.
Features
This is more something I wanted to mention. I found my CPanel to be full of nice features I didn't have before. It was a nice little surprise for me to reading about the neat things I could do! Recently a few more features were added by Matt at no additional cost. This of course isn't a deal breaker when trying to pick a host but something I wanted to make note of.
Conclusion
At this point I couldn't be happier that I chose MJZ Hosting. I have even started mentioning MJZ to my friends when we talk about hosting. I've had an excellent almost 4 months with MJZ Hosting and do not regret moving to his servers. I plan to come back another 4 months down the road and update my review, and again when I hit the 1 year mark around Thanksgiving."

"MJZ Hosting gives great service. He is my first host & he is best. I will surely have a long term relationship with him. I just can't think of any other host & the price at which he offers - NO ONE CAN BEAT HIM. I am with him since Oct 2004. So, far no probs. The Guy has helped me out in every matter.
Just few days back, I upgraded my a/c. He was going to transfer me to a new server. Just made the payment & my a/c was transferred within minutes. Now, thats what I called service. Am a newbie but, never felt like one as I always could count on him.
11/10 from me to MJZ.

Setup was quick, and I received my server information within a minute or two of signup. Service from the webserver has been excellent, even improved upon in terms of load times compared to my previous webhost, poehosting.com.

"Ive been with MJZ since 31st January (2004). Its awesome, the quality, the service and the responce times are top notch. I was with www.streamline.net (NAME AND SHAME) before and I must say they were absolutly aweful. So many restrictions, I was cut off 4 times just by having a file named 'Winkeydisabler' which was just something for gamers that disabled the windows key in games. I was really worried that I wouldent have another webspace for as cheap as that until a mate of mine showed me his CP here and I was amazed. I imeadietly pulled out my debit card and ordered ;) Nothings amiss so far, the starting problems were soon fixed and its all 100% perfect now. No problems, no hazzle nothing. This service is Number 1 in my books and ive recommended this hosting business to many of my friends who are stuck on crapper hosting businesses that want money and dont care about customer service or quality.
Thank you MJZ, top Marks from me. 10 / 10 100% 5 Stars the lot"

"A few months ago, I was looking for a hosting plan other than a free Yahoo! GeoCities account. But everywhere I looked, it would end up costing me about $60/year, for even the most basic plan (50MB, 1GB transfer, no domain services like email or subdomains, etc.). I was looking at a web hosting review website (I don't remember exactly where), but everyone who had it was extremely happy with the service and pricing. I went to the website and was a little skeptical at first, because I couldn't believe that a web host would be giving all of this to me (unlimited everything: email, databases, addon domains) for a mere $16/year. Some of the places I looked at were $16/month! I'm glad I didn't just settle for the first hosting plan I saw because this is the best deal I've ever heard of. I have almost never had a technical problem with my hosting account, and when I did, I always received prompt service. Thanks MJZ Web Hosting!"

But then they find out they're wrong and ya... I couldn't put this on a 1 - 10 scale because it far surpasses the 10th point. This service rocks. If it ends ever...

"Another vote of excellence here. To start off with, I hate shopping for webspace. I can't stand it. So many companies offer everything I don't want and little that I do, not even mentioning their ghost of a support team. It seriously makes want to punch someone in the face, so when I decided to approach metafekt I was by that time slightly aggravated and more than cynical. Much to my surprise my first and following emails were responded to within 24 hours, and I believe often in less than 12. This was a big bonus as customer service is extremely important to me and a wrong look from a salesman can break a deal. Further more, mjz was willing and able to work with some of my peculiar requests and created a hosting plan to fit into my EXXXTREME BUDGET CRISIS. So in a nutshell, I am glad I made the right choice in hosting with metafekt."

"I have been with mjzhosting for about 4 months now and all i can say is that this host is really awesome
i started as a reseller for about $10/month. things went really well as the owner is very friendly and always responded quickly to my emails
my websites started to get really busy with time and there was a need for a dedicated server. he provided me with a full dedicated server for a great price.. he gave me lots of time to think about the issue and decide on whether i wanted to continue with him or not... all this time while my site was consuming so much of the resources
through out my stay with mjz i have had various issues between me and my website.. and although the average webhost couldnt have cared less... the owner of mjz was always very helpful. i have had some issues with mysql and he was there to help.. and even when i got hacked (becoz my personal mistake).. he was very quick to help and upload my back-ups
but whats really amazing is that at some point... he emailed me and told me about another plan that he can offer me.. that's actually MUCH better for my needs than the previous plan that i was on.. and actually 25% less expensive!
this was really great... here is a webhost that actually develops a great relation with his customers to the degree that he would know what might be better for u .. and as they say.. goes with u an extra step
what brought me to mjz at the beginning was low prices.. he continues to bring very low prices and excellent service... he told me he does it by looking very hard on the net to find best deals on servers.
i dont know how he does it... i dont really care... i just know his service is great and i really would recommend him"
