Customer Testimonials
Hello All. I want to let any and everyone involved with ViUX Hosting know that I am very pleased with the service and functionality of your company.
Since I switched my hosting to ViUX from (the dreaded!) Network Solutions I have had no problems. Any and all information I have needed has been available either online or by the helpful and courteous telephone staff!
It is so nice to have people do what they say they will do. It seems as if that should not be so hard, but believe me in this day and age it is a rare commodity. So thanks and keep up the good work and the fine set of standards by which you apparently operate your company. Thanks ViUX!

I want to thank your support personnel for going above and beyond in the service they provided.
My previous hosting company would not fix problems or respond to messages, I could not access my SQL db. Your support person(s) were able to log in with the info I provided and retrieve the data I needed - much of this work was in the middle of the night.
My site isn't an easy one to work with as it is a huge Storefront e-commerce site using a (corrupted) SQL DB. I did not know what to expect in terms of support. I was hoping that things would go well since I already had high expectations from using your LIVE CHAT in the middle of the night to get answers to my questions before I moved my sites over (I have 8 companies that I rep). Your support team didn't let me down, in fact they surpassed what I was expecting.
Kudos to your support group - they are wonderful and truly a blessing to your company.
Thanks for all the hard work!
