    I’ve been with StartLogic for almost 2 years now and I’ve gotten to know Duane and Robert in tech support. These guys are always quick to help me even if it’s something they don’t have to do. I can definitely see why you guys have startlogic at #1!

    I run all my sites on a couple accounts at startlogic. Fast but I was lucky enough to find out they can’t handle digg front page traffic. haha good servers regardless

    We were confused about how to use phpmyadmin and Chris was really helpful and patient with us. Above and beyond is the way to do business.
