The price is very good considering the value Fran offers. I've been using a managed email service (CraneMail) since June 2025. So far, I'm satisfied with the service. I find the service... See more

Incredible journey

NameCrain lately (buyshared / buyvm) is a great company. Over more than 7 years, the relationship has been an incredible journey. The team there is amazing at taking care of and fixing things. They never fail to assist customers, even when they're wrong.

I wish them all continued success.

The best service provider in the IT…

The best service provider in the IT industry, especially Francisco, who is an exceptional person. He always provides excellent service, and if any issue arises, he offers immediate support and ensures the problem is resolved.

The best service provider, hands down. Thank you, Francisco!

Good price/value and support

Good price/value and support. Sometimes there possibly was a non clean shutdown of the MariaDB since some tables turn crashed state. Had to setup repairing cronjob since it happened regularly. Important for me is a cryptocurrency support. It seems like some issues resolution depends on a single person (F.) and so the replies are delayed (but still received in 24 hours).

NameCrane: Reliable Hosting with Top-Notch Support and Great Value

I've been using NameCrane for a few months now, and my experience has been nothing short of excellent. Their shared hosting setup is backed by solid hardware, ensuring smooth performance for my websites. What stands out the most is their instant and reliable support, which has been top-notch every time I've needed assistance. On top of that, their pricing is reasonable, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking for quality hosting without breaking the bank. I highly recommend NameCrane to anyone in need of dependable hosting services!

I'm not tech savvy

I'm not tech savvy. I have very little knowledge of this language. These guys are so helpful, and their responses are pleasant and clear. If I have an issue or a question based on my site, and I can not find the answer on a search engine I go to my last resort, that is to open a ticket. I have usually got a reply within 10 minutes with the answer. There's no arrogance here. It's seamless. Thank you! You seem very nice people.

Fantastic hosting provider

Very happy with Namecrane. Everything just works and the price can't be beat. The staff (especially the Owner) are extremely responsive and helpful, even when I've created some kind of mess for myself and fixing it is absolutely not their job. Truly feel like I'm valued here. Can't recommend them enough.

NameCrane offers the best hosting plans…

NameCrane offers the best hosting plans at the best market price, all with premium features that many other companies charge extra for or only offer in higher-tier plans. One might think that with such prices, the support would be of lower quality, but that's not the case. The support is excellent, even better than many other companies I've tried. An added bonus is that for those with a few clients, the pricing allows reselling the hosting plans while still making a decent profit, something that's very hard to find with other companies. Another important point is the various server locations. In my case, Europe is important, and while my country isn’t an option, the servers are close enough, and I can always use Cloudflare’s free option. In summary, give it a try, and you’ll see that within a year, you’ll be moving all your sites to NameCrane.
