I used Host4Profit for several years and all I can say is that it worked perfectly for my needs all along but I moved away after I realized there were many other good hosting companies available and less expensive too.
There are several good things about Host4Profit.
For instance, they offer their customers the possibility of earning money by using their “Money-Making Plug-In Sites” and they pay commissions by referral. Next to this, they also have a forum where you can get help, make deals and create partnerships to increase your business. You get a life time membership once you become a customer.
Their Control Panel is easy to use and allows you to do everything you need to do with your site.
They provide full support for all server related question and always responded fast to my questions.
Actually they even have a promotion called: a free Bahamas’ vacation, which works like this:
Anyone signing up 500 active accounts with them in a six month period will receive an all expenses paid vacation to the Grand Bahamas’s.
They even say that they will try to be there with the winners, sort of ‘trying to make a family out of a business’. It’s a shame I never made it that far
They also promote the Plug-in profit sites which are complete sites created to sell some ‘eBooks’ and which are available for your name and address, (yes, you can put them on your domain) once you plug in your information. I did not try this so have no idea if it is worth the effort. You get to keep 100% of the income.
These are the names of the plug-in sites:
eBay Secrets Revealed, it sells for $14.97
E-Mail Marketing Strategies Revealed, it sells for $19.95
eBay Marketing Secrets, it sells for $9.95 to $15.00
Internet Cash Machines, it sells for $14.97
This is how much they pay for referral:
Refer 1 Customer: $10 per month
Refer 1000 Customers: $10,000 Per Month (that would be cool!)
Of course the people you refer have to stay with them!
In my time I had 1 referral and although it did not make me rich, it made my hosting cheaper.
Here some of their features:
Uptime & reliability: 10/10
server & connection speed: 9/10
technical support & knowledge: 9/10
customer service & billing: 10/10
price value for money: 7/10
overall rating: 9/10
Conclusion:
Why I stayed with them for so long? I was very satisfied with their services.

Hi Jordi,
This is a fair review of Host4Profit, and I agree with your ratings. I’ve been with them for over two years now and received excellent service. Their webpanel is easy to use and I use it instead of an FTP server to upload my files.
The most difficult thing was having a Wordpress blog installed. It is not as easy as on some other platforms such as Bluehost. However, once it is installed, it runs perfectly well.
The affiliate programme is very good. If you can refer a number of long-term customers your residual earnings will be much better than the one-time commissions a lot of other web hosts offer.

David,
Thanks for checking the reviews. I also have had wordpress installed in their servers without any problems. They are also very secured.
About the Host4Profit affiliate program, you are absolutely right, what I liked the best, was the connections (with the right people) I got through them. I am still making some money from/with those connections.
