  • "Meets my needs but takes a little getting used to I switched from Namecheap to iBrave. They are equivalent in their features except that iBrave actually automatically rotates your SSL certs for you! That's something Namecheap doesn't have out of the box. I migrated 2 sites without issue. While the documentation and navigation around the various tools takes a little getting used to, if you are willing to spend some time and learn how iBrave is organized, you'll find most things straight forward to do. Where some individuals have looked to migrate their domains to iBrave, I actually moved mine to PorkBun. I consolidated them to PorkBun because they tend to be cheaper than Namecheap and iBrave. I may buy them elsewhere but eventually they all move to PorkBun (until PorkBun changes their pricing). As for iBrave, I'm not running heavily trafficked sites. Usually the first hit takes time but after that, the speed is on par with everything else I visit. I did notice that my account is currently hosted in the UK. I kind of expected that the servers would have been in the US and have a ticket open to see if I can migrate my account to the US. So far, the support team has been fast to respond with real issues. I also haven't seen my sites go down unless I cause the issue. For WordPress sites and other software you install from their catalog, you can get automated updates. This is one nice feature I enjoyed with Namecheap too. My only disappointments is with the list of software packages that can be automatically installed and with the memory size of the servers. I run PHP sites and it is tricky to increase the memory allocation for PHP. That lead me to abandon hosting certain sites on iBrave. Their packaged software sometimes takes more configuration than it should but the few that I tried worked well. I would like to see a full Office suite being part of that offering. There are most of the pieces but they aren't put together very well. Some are old while others are very basic. But if you have a WordPress site (or multiple) and don't want to continue to pay for basic hosting, I haven't found anyone better than iBrave."
