Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
SolaDrive earns overwhelming praise for fast, reliable servers and responsive support, though pricing and recent infrastructure issues concern some users.
The vast majority of reviews highlight consistent strengths: servers deliver strong performance with minimal downtime, and support staff respond quickly—often within an hour—and resolve technical problems without condescension. Users particularly value that SolaDrive remains small enough to treat customers attentively, contrasting favorably with larger providers like GoDaddy and Hostgator. Many mention staying loyal for years and recommending the service to others. A few reviewers note occasional weekend glitches, but these were handled rapidly.
The main criticisms center on pricing. Several users acknowledge SolaDrive costs 10–15% more than competitors offering similar service, making it less suitable for budget-conscious buyers with multiple servers. Two negative reviews describe serious issues: one from 2020 involving billing errors and a credit-note refusal; another from later periods alleging severe uptime problems (97% or lower) and unresponsive support following a data center migration to Google's New York facility.
These negative reviews stand apart from the pattern. Their claims about recent service degradation and non-responsive support conflict sharply with the dominant experience reported across the dataset. Buyers should weigh reliability and support quality against the higher price point and investigate any recent infrastructure changes.

“I was a bit skeptical at first when my assistant…”
I was a bit skeptical at first when my assistant asked me to give SolaDrive a try as we were in a fix. Our previous hosting company was a pain to deal with as our clients were unhappy with having their websites down for hours. Moving most of our websites to SolaDrive was one of the best decisions we made last year as complaints have reduced drastically and our clients happy.

“No annoying marketing calls or emails. Knowledgeable and reliable support.…”
No annoying marketing calls or emails. Knowledgeable and reliable support. Uptime is great and the server speed is pretty fast. Although, we've experienced a glitch or two on the weekend but they were quick to resolve it and it didn't affect our websites significantly.

“As a small business who just moved into the world…”
As a small business who just moved into the world of dedicated hosting with little to no technical knowledge, SolaDrive has been a blessing. I love the fact that they are relatively small enough when compared to companies like AWS or GoDaddy to attend to my needs properly and in a fast manner.

Totally worth every penny I paid! Escalated an issue to John when I was having a problem with my server frequently crashing. The problem (a badly coded script) was detected and resolved within a day! The best technical support I have ever experienced so far.

For the price I‘m being charged, I’d say they are doing a very good job. Their servers are fast and reliable. Response from support is also super-fast and helpful.

It's been 7 months so far and everything seems good! Yet to move our major sites ( the ones with the big traffic) to SD as I'm trying to see how well the ones we have currently with them will fare for a year before making that big decision. So far, I can say I'm pleased with their fantastic service. Kudos to you guys!

“Simply put “rubbish and fraudulently taking money from me” Do…”
Simply put “rubbish and fraudulently taking money from me” Do not use them, they were not capable of delivering the service I purchased and through their admin failings took almost 10 time the cost from my credit card which I am struggling to get back. I wanted a managed Odoo server, they could not deliver it so we left for another provider – there is lots more in this story, but they failed and wasted our time. I did receive this messaage … 22/1/2020 Thanks Roger, I was able to review this and am disappointed that we dropped the ball providing service to you. I hope all your issues and concerns are resolved now since we refunded those 4 payments for Nov and Dec. If there is anything else we can do, please let us know. Best Regards, John B - President of Operations john@soladrive.com What got me really angry is for a service costing $33.75 per month they billed over $230, they said they were refunding the money and then gave me a credit note which I could use against further services. Hi Roger, Credits are to be used with services only, they are not available as a cash refund. Best Regards, John B - President of Operations john@soladrive.com So not only did they waste my time with a service they could not deliver but loads more with trying to get my money back. Don’t use them, waste of time and money

Been using their services for 5 months and I can attest to their reliable service. Totally worth the investment IMO. Pages loads pretty fast and update are done frequently. Nothing to complain about for now.
