Hi guys,
I've been with hawk host for a few years now, I came onto the forums for some technical help (script related, not server) and just happened to stumble along this thread.
I noticed that Phineas had his question answered quickly, but what impressed me was that it was answered by the CEO! As a business owner myself I really appreciate this, I love it when I see a CEO actually doing some customer facing work instead of just hiding away somewhere.
I just came for some MySQL help and ended up with yet another reason to love my host. Keep it up Tony!
Oh and Phineas, for what its worth from an actual user. I have installed and removed more Wordpress sites and plugins than I could possibly remember over my time with Hawk Host, both via FTP and Softaculous. I've never had a single issue that wasn't caused by me playing with code. I can't speak for IPBoard, but I've used some of the other popular ones just to play around with and had no issues.
