What’s Great About Compevo?
- Good uptime feedback
Compevo maintains a relatively good uptime record. Aside from the regular maintenance upgrades, there are almost no reports of disruptive downtimes after deployment.
- Good support team
Compevo’s support team, both their customer service and technical support, are knowledgeable and polite. There have been no accounts of irate customer service agents from their end and they seem to manage the volume of calls and trouble tickets well.
- Packaging very much targeted to enterprise users
This is not a company for the budding web developer and rightfully targets the enterprise sector. This is excellent if you are looking for a serious provider and not those smaller hosting companies that targets bloggers or smaller organziations.
- Offers discounts via their website
You will notice that most of their published rates are given a 30-40% discount from their website. This is very encouraging given the fact that they have a lot of competitors out there offering roughly the same thing.
What’s Disappointing About Compevo?
✖ MySQL databases tend to be very slow
Along with the migration issues are overall performance issues when it comes to their MySQL databases support. These databases are the core of most web sites now and there shouldn’t be any hitches in running them, especially if you are targeting business and enterprise users.
✖ Expensive price tag
A minor draw back is thatCompevo’s packages are on the expensive side. For some, this little increase in cost compared to their nearest competitors is negligible but for start up companies, it can spell the difference between signing up withCompevo or looking for a cheaper alternative.
The Bottom line
Be on the look out for the discounts that they give out. If you are going to purchase them at regular price, then you can probably get a better deal elsewhere. Choosing to target enterprise users is a tricky business since they are not too price sensitive but at the same time you are pressured to deliver the best performance possible out of your existing system. This can be troublesome especially if the databases tend to act up from time to time. It is suggested that you source for a more reputable hosting company instead of Compevo.

I seriously like Compevo since…
I seriously like Compevo since it has a good uptime. Believe it or not; I’ve never had any bad experiences regarding a down website. One more thing that I really like about them is that their support team is quite reliable. One time, I had to inquire regarding my control panel and the person that I was talking to was very supportive in giving me instructions. However, this one’s not really great if you’re not willing to spend a few bucks more.
