Here is his HostPapa Green Web Hosting review:
I've been with HostPapa for almost two years now and have had great service.
I run a forum with a MySQL database and I host four other domains under my account as well.
Yes, my site has gone down on occasion. But the downtime was addressed in a timely manner in my opinion.
I think what people don't realize is this is the nature of web hosting beast. If you want a perfect hosting solution, be prepared to spend some big bucks and forget about HostPapa or any other type of hosting like them.
If you want good uptime, invest in a hosted dedicated server or VPS account rather than some web space on a shared server.
Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, HostPapa has been a great service provider bar none.
As for people complaining about lost databases, HostPapa doesn't keep any backups. You can do database backups through the control panel. I backup my databases regularly and wouldn't rely on any hosting company to do it for me. You can even setup a cron job to automatically backup your database ever XX days. Just be sure to download it every once and a while.
A smart web site owner looks after it's own info.
