Ionblade Reviews 139

So glad I moved to IonBlade! Alex answers when I call and I haven’t had an issue with my site since moving over. Highly recommend!

We moved over from GoDaddy last year, and the difference is stark. It's so easy to email customer support. They usually respond very quickly, and we can ask questions when we don't understand. The service we're using is much cheaper than GoDaddy was, but it did take us a bit to figure out how to access everything, such as the DNS records. Even so, we highly recommend them.

This review is lengthy --- but important for those seeking a first time hosting company or wanting to move your existing site.
I have been a 28 year customer of Network Solutions. I purchased my domains from Registry.com through NS. For the first 15 years of our partnership NS was very reliable and made sure my site and emails were properly working. My last 13 years however, have been frustrating to say the least. Somewhere, in the growing their company, several business practices were abandoned. Here is what NS looks like now.
1. Overpriced domain renewals $59 per year.
2. Not responsible for installing SSL certs. As if I know how to do that.
3. Phishing emails looking just like NS trying to gain access to my manager account.
4. Emails (actually from NS) telling me my site is no longer up to code and my email accounts were not configured properly and I had to manage it myself. What? I don’t know a thing about managing my website or emails. I thought my $900.00 per year to NS was paying to keep my stuff running. Nope!
5. Then, putting all emails on hold. And suspending my site because my SSL cert. was corrupt. I paid for a two year option of my SSL cert. After 8 months of that renewal, the cert. became corrupt and the only solution from NS was to buy another SSL cert.
6. These email and SSL problems happen nearly every year for the past 13 years. I was so done with Network Solutions and wanted to find a hosting site that cared about me. But wait, there’s more!!!!!!!
7. In looking on-line I was excited about Wix, SquareSpace, GoDaddy and other hosting companies offering an easy way to create a website complete with e-commerce. Because I am not a web designer and their stuff looks really refreshing and modern, I almost decided to go with one of these companies. Beware; once you commit to and create a beautifully responsive site your site is NOT TRANSFERABLE. If at a later date you choose to go to another hosting company, your site along with your e-commerce, and in some cases your domain name are gone. Ouch!
The answer: Be aware and ask a bunch of questions when deciding what hosting company is right for you. That’s what I did with IonBlade. Dan Soliz (sales) and Max (tech support) were really very helpful. I have found them to be true to their word. For one, we spoke in person over the phone. And two, got me up and running in no time. They moved my entire site and emails from NS then optimize them for the web. I can upload a ton of images to my site for my clients to download and review. The upload speed in very fast. A 20meg image file takes less than 3 seconds with IonBlade. I am super happy I chose IonBlade as my hosting company. If Dan’s boss is reading this review, I suggest you allow this review to count as 3 for this month since I am so impressed with how Dan gently talked me through this process and did so in the midst of a very frustrating customer. Thank you, IonBlade.

IonBlade has hosted my magazine, Voices from the Arroyo,, the last four years. They are always been helpful, especially in improving my poor technical skills. Good guys! I recommend them.

So glad I found Ionblade as I was having a variety of issues with my site before moving my site over. Everyone does a great job of explaining things in simple terms (I’m not a tech person by any means) and they were able to come up with a solution to all my problems.

I have been working with IonBlade for over a year now and they have really shown why I needed to switch to a different hosting company over my previous one. There support staff is remarkable and between Max & Ryan all of my issues get resolved almost immediately. Plus they are always there to go above and beyond what I would really expect out of a hosting provider. I'll be with them until their culture changes.

James Kurtz and team has seen us through a website build-out with great attention to detail and has responded professionally and patiently to each of our requests. Truly appreciate his work.

Great standard website but most of all personal service with a real living human you can speak with, even if he is a Dodger fan

I called into Ionblade today because I’ve been having problems with my website since yesterday. The web hosting site I was using has a terrible support ticket process, it’s way too slow. I was able to migrate my business site over to them, it was super quick and easy. Thank you guys so much, I can get back to work now

I have to share that moving over to Ionblade from Go Daddy earlier today was really easy and painless. James got me hyped to move over after explaining how much money I’d be saving and how simple their support ticket process is for users. Looking forward to a great professional relationship here!

Strategic, innovative and not just hosts but involved in making our reservation system and customer experience the best in the industry leading to our great ratings. Dan Soliz has been proactive and helped move the needle in every project. They are also responsive and solve any issues immediately.

i had a great experience thanks to michael hill, his customer service was outstanding. i would highly recommend to everyone. he went above and beyond, and wanted to thank him for his service.

Working with the team at IonBlade has been a really positive experience as a business owner. Not only do they have better pricing I was able to get all the things my website needed to be secure, updated, renewed and hosted. They even migrated me from GoDaddy with no down time and it was super easy. Anytime I had questions they responded super quick. I highly rec'd starting or switching to IonBlade.

Ever since GoDaddy converted their email system to Office 365 my business was plagued with unreliable email service. I've had great experiences with IonBlade in the past so I decided to move my email from Office 365 to them. There were a few minor glitches but these were quickly solved by Ryan Ash and Max R. Everything works perfectly. Mail, contacts, and calendar synch up across all my devices. Bravo IonBlade you did what Microsoft / Apple couldn't!

James Kurtz was really helpful in getting our website up and running all while troubleshooting the problems that popped up along the way.

In a world where good customer service is not a given anymore I felt the need to share my experience with Ionblade. From the very first conversation Dan Soliz was an EXCEPTIONAL reprepresentative for the also amazing team at Ionblade. Patience and above amazing care not to just problem solve but to understand the vision of our non-profit and then execute solutions through an extremely knowledge team in always a timely and professional way. I would recommend Dan and Ionblade to anyone and am grateful he’s part of our team!

I’m not a very technical person, but I rely on it heavily for my business. I need people I can really trust to help me with it and Ion Blade has proven to be trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable and fast. James and Max have both been incredibly helpful and seem to be personally interested in doing their best for me. It feels great, like having partners for my business. Very rare in today’s world! Thanks guys!

I recently transferred all my sites to Ionblade because of their outstanding work on my main site. The work has been seamless and good quality. I definitely trust them with all my sites

Every department offers first-class support, treating every client—regardless of account size—with genuine care and professionalism, which is increasingly rare to find. Their tech support is exceptional, providing not only timely solutions but also taking the time to explain and educate when website issues arise, as they inevitably do (a must add-on!). Special thanks to James in account management and Ryan in tech support for going above and beyond.

I’m not really much of a tech person but Ion Blade made it super simple and easy to get started with my website! Their platform is very user friendly which I appreciate. Highly recommend
