SUPERB
Reviewer: Nick Barsley, 25 September 2008 |
I use them for my business, and I can't fault them. Their service has been exemplary. When setting up my first deploy i had all sorts of things I didn't quite understand, the tech support at BBG were superb. I almost never bother to write reviews for things, but I felt it worth writing about them.

Great Hosting Provider
Reviewer: The Killswitch Collective, 14 August 2008 |
We've worked with Blue Box Group since their inception almost 4 years ago, and the relationship has been extremely beneficial for us and our clients. They have hosted both PHP and Rails applications for us, and have always given us and our clients the highest level of service we could ask for. Their support staff is great, and have helped us build and deploy numerous full-scale server clusters that are custom tailored to our clients' needs. We have, and will continue to recommend Blue Box to our clients and contacts.

Our Preferred Vendor
Reviewer: Neal White, 14 August 2008 |
I've worked with Blue Box for over 2 years now on large-scale production Rails deployments, and can say without a doubt they are our preferred vendor for hosting. Their support staff is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and thorough - and on top of that they're great people. They always go to great lengths to ensure our apps keep running smoothly. Definitely choose Blue Box hosting for your next project - you won't regret it.

Best service I've ever worked with
Reviewer: Andre, 11 August 2008 |
We're 3.5 million user, 150 million page views monthly, social network application www.sibblingz.com (Make A Baby on facebook, myspace and bebo). We run about 20 physical (30 virtual) servers with Blue Box Group and they are the most competent and helpful service provider I have worked with. Their people are excellent, and support us day or night. They respond to issues immediately, and understand our application environment inside out. Their rating should go to 11.

Exceptional hosting and support services
Reviewer: Cy Cary, 11 August 2008 |
My company hosts over a dozen high profile and high traffic web properties with Blue Box Group. There is no question that this firm is revolutionizing the web hosting industry and is outperforming all of the big guys by leaps and bounds when it comes to equipment performance, hardware reliability, state of the art cluster design, application monitoring, 24/7 support, and one on one support when you need it most.

Best hosting ever
Reviewer: David Demaree, 01 April 2008 |
I've had one of their Linux VPS servers for 18 months. I've never had any unscheduled downtime, nor have any of my clients I've referred to them. Their prices are a good value, and their customer support is always responsive and knowledgeable. Quite possibly the best in the business.

Excellent service
Reviewer: Jean-Charles Carelli, 25 January 2007 |
My company discovered BlueBoxGroup hosting about 6 months ago. Since then, whenever we need a hosting solution we choose BlueBoxGroup.
The service is excellent. Unlike bulk hosting companies, the staff at BlueBoxGrid are willing to take the time to develop custom solutions.
Their rates are fair and the service is excellent. I would recomend the BlueBoxGroup to anyone who needs responsive personalized hosting for their web development and production hosting needs.

Outstanding Customer Service
Reviewer: awells, 25 January 2007 |
Ever since we signed up with Blue Box, we've been pleasantly surprised by how far their customer service is willing to go to meet our needs. They have repeatedly demonstrated pleasant, prompt service, and, while their services are (slightly) higher-priced, the extra we pay is well worth Blue Box's commitment to excellent service and personalized solutions.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Blue Box to anyone looking for a web hosting solution.
