MacHighway = (Vulnerable + Unresponsive) + (Unreliable + Incompetent) * Unconcerned Like many of the other disappointed longtime MacHighway (MH) users posting poor reviews here, I have been with MH for a very long time and have supported their growth, in large part because of the great customer service and responsive tech support. But with the company being recently sold, these values and benefits are no longer a priority. Read through the many poor reviews on this site and you'll get a clear picture of what to expect when you host your sites with the "new" MH, i.e. sites getting hacked or going down, requests for help being ignored, customers being misled, lack of accountability, apathetic customer service, incompetent tech support, etc. My experience has been no different.
My sites recently became unresponsive after being notified by Google that the sites had been hacked and social engineering content had been installed in all of the site's directories (you'll find this is now a common trend at MH). One week later, after first notifying MH of the problem by phone and opening a help ticket, writing 3 emails, and making 2 more phone calls, the sites are still unresponsive and offline. Worse, although everyone I've been in contact with at MH seem to be nice, they all tell me it shouldn't be taking this long to move my sites to a different server and restore from a previous safe backup. No one there can tell me exactly what's going on and how long it will take to get the sites back up and running. I was told by one rep the reason it is taking so long was that they "guys back there" were dealing with a "glitch" in the system. Laughable, right? More like a major snafu. But I can't really blame the customer service reps, they don't really seem to have a clue what they're talking about or what is going on "back there." They seem as dumbfounded as I am.
If you're considering a new hosting service, I would highly suggest avoiding the growing pains at MH! Move down the highway to a more reputable hosting service that can handle the growth without immaturity, deceitfulness, irresponsibility, and self-sabotaging. If you're an existing customer and are wondering what happened to MH, you're not alone! Run for the hills, far away, and don't look back!
