Excellent

I tested Markershost, I was a little skeptical given that the offer is very interesting.

The administrative part is very well thought out. It's not CPanel but I find it almost better.
It is pleasant modern and very complete.
It has all the basic features and a little more.
In addition we can find the activation of a CDN, optimization options (reduce spaces..)...

We also see that everything is well secured.
Each database is on a different server. The FTP is deactivated and can be activated for an hour, a day or more... (I don't know if it can be activated permanently).
There is an option to set the headers X-DNS-Prefetch-Control, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy ... You can also have PHP up to 8.1 (it's rare).

Personally, I therefore switched all my hosting to makerhost.
It was very simple despite the fact that I have very complex configurations. And everything worked perfectly.

The servers are in the UK (I believe it is possible to have them in the US).
I did some tests, from France, I'm a little slower than my old host (the best host in France). But it looks very correct. On all other gtmetric type performance tests based in Canada) they are identical.
I therefore think that the performance of makershosts is better than some hosts, and a little less than the best in France, which is normal. The quality to price ratio is excellent.
So I permanently terminated my old host.

I therefore give 5 stars.
On the downsides, each comic is limited to 1 GB (I have one coupon).
And I'm afraid it's that the accommodation deteriorates over time.
We do not know at all the characteristics of the servers or the number of threads, nor the available CPU load (visible on CPanel). This morning the performance has deteriorated significantly. I will not take it into account for my opinion but it is to be watched (GTmetrix from B I went to C).
So, I hope my review has helped you.

Charm to work with

I'm impressed with the features MakersHost offers. Their modern control panel is a charm and their service is a pleasure to work with. I appreciate the generous limits too.

Excellent

i've tried other products from App Sumo very similar to this one and I always end up getting a refund because they fall woefully short of my expectations. This one, however, has me not asking for a refund but asking how I can stack more codes.

Fast Web Hosting

I was hesitant about buying this hosting deal based on my previous experience with another hosting LTD product that I bought on appsumo. I decided to take a chance and bought one code to run a few tests. To test the speed, I downloaded my current website running on this other web host and uploaded the website to MakersHost. I ran GTmetrix on my current website (received a 54%) then I ran GTmetrix on MakersHost and received a 99% (the exact same website). I am totally impressed with MakerHost. I hope they keep this up in the future. Thank you for restoring my faith in web host LTD's. I plan to buy more codes.

Super fast hosting

MakersHost is super fast. I have been hosting with knownhost for over 6 years and have found very few other hosting solutions that meet all the needs I have. I'm always skeptical about lifetime hosting because I have been burned before (not by any Appsumo deals though).

So far my experience has been almost perfect with MakersHost. The speed testing scores from several speed testing tools have been on par with other top web hosts, and I really like the built in caching and optimization.

I use multiple page builders (on different sites) and sometimes some hosting solutions can fall short of the requirements to run them. This is honestly the first time I have not had to tweak any server settings to get anything to work.

I'm honestly very impressed, and I'm a geek who has been using WordPress since 2005, so if this Geek is happy, I can't see how anyone else won't be.

The "Almost perfect" that I mentioned, well as with any Appsumo deal that is popular, sometimes support just takes awhile. I'm used to the 247/365 support from my current host who answers tickets in less than 10 minutes usually, but the Service Level Agreement with MakersHost is 24 hours, but in most cases so far they have answered usually within 10 to 12 hours. So "Almost Perfect" means the hosting is rock solid so far, and the only con is the support can take some time, but I think that will be worked out in the coming weeks as they ramp up their efforts.

The best advise I can offer anyone who is purchasing this deal right now is to be patient with support. They will get it done and it'll be done right.

Only time will tell if the hosting for lifetime is too good to be true, but I'm sticking with this deal and looking to buy more codes for sure, and looking forward to seeing what the future holds for MakersHost as they seem more than legit so far.

Very good SAV

Pretty works. The price is good the team that manages it is competent. And the speeds of my sites are really accelerated. I go from C to A on gtmetrix, and on googlespeedinsights I reached 90% on mobile, I've been struggling with the speed of my sites for 5 years, finally I found the answer. Long live makerhost

All good so far

Been using it for the last month, 8 small websites with wordpress, seem fast enough, robust and stable. all websites with uptime monitoring and no downtime so far.

Hopefully they will keep improving their service and stay in business for the long run.

Despite being skeptical of Lifetime hosting, this is LEGIT!

Makershost.io is relatively new to the game, which explains why they want to get this offer out to as many people as they can. I bought this LTD and it seems really good so far. The cPanel-type backend is easy enough to figure out. The speeds im testing are insane for shared hosting, so i'm very pleased with that. I've already told a few people about this because it seems like a truly great value for the price and they tried and liked it too! Here's to many more years with Makershost!

MakersHost is great value and Quick!

Like many others, I was fed up with paying for monthly hosting and was looking for a lifetime deal. I thought that a lifetime deal for hosting wouldn't be that great, but I can safely say, with MakersHost, they are fantastic!

For a lifetime deal, they offer far more than most hosting providers. I will list below what I like and what can be improved on.

Pros:
- Unlimited bandwidth.
- 1 click WordPress installation
- A generous amount of domains can be hosted, even for the first tier.
- Lots of options in the backend (Like Cpanel).
- Active Facebook group
- Chat support
- Fast speeds on the front end
- They provide a lot of tools such as image optimization, CDN, and other ways to improve your website's speed and performance. This can probably replace other tools you have to pay for.
- Loads more

What can be improved on:
- Emails can take up to a day for a response. Sometimes I have had replies within a few hours and other times, it has been more.
- The backend (Like cpanel), is easy to use but It can be slow at loading sometimes.
- Not enough documentation or videos. (Hopefully that will come in time.)
- Perhaps a more up-to-date interface in the backend would be nice for the future.

Overall I am very impressed. If you are struggling with understanding the backend, check out Hostmaria's videos on YouTube, they use the same backend. I am sticking with MakersHost as they have really impressed me so far.

I would recommend grabbing this offer whilst you still can, as they can't keep the lifetime deal forever.

Great Lifetime Hosting at Great Price

I had been doing a lot of searching to look for a lifetime hosting, and finally i had found MakersHost with this great Lifetime Deal which comes with these powerful specifications and great affordable price. I would say MakersHost had offered the best generous deal at this lower price as compared to other hosting. With this lifetime hosting, i hope i can forget about the hassle to renew hosting every year. Really love this Lifetime Deal!

Managed Expectations - Great Investment

Okay this is a LTD for hosting so it's best to have a "healthy" expectation with this.

Overall, I am very happy with this hosting. I honestly use this for testing sites and haven't run into big issues. It's easy to install apps and though it's not using cPanel, it works for what it is.

Caching also seems to be working pretty well so the website is responsive and fast. However, I have to manually flush the cache for me to see changes immediately across devices when I'm editing pages with WordPress.

Support has also been responsive and helpful whenever I email them.
With this, I believe this is a deal that is definitely worth it!!!

Better than the Gator

Good hosting. Support very responsive - only delays are because they are located in the UK.

Over the years inherited some simple sites. I was tired of paying $11 per month to gator so this lifetime deal was a no-brainer.

I only hope they can keep the lights on at this price :-)

Great alternative to other hosting providers !

Great platform and support for hosting any website. The deal is very interesting compared to our current hosting service. The LTD seems like a nobrainer. Looking forward to migrating a bigger website on it !

This is a nobrainer deal

I have been testing and comparing this hosting package with my Serverpilot + Digitalocean + Cloudflare setup... about 50$ a month. Network response times are excellent and server seems always quick and responsive. If you setup the included CDN and optimization features you will see load time of < 300 ms for a common home page.

The best thing is that you dont spend additional time setting up a new instance each time you have a new project. I runs smooth and solid. You have a similar cPanel, more simple but powerful yet, you will get used really quick to it.

If they keep the promise this is a nobrainer deal.

So far so good!

After playing around a bit with this hosting package I can say I don't regret I've grabbed this deal at all. The first thing I did, before migrating or creating any new site, was to create a test site and have been doing some testing on it, with great results and good feelings so far:
- Network response times are good.
- Server seems always quick and responsive.
- For the ones used to cPanel, well, it's not cPanel, but you will get used really quick. You may miss something from cPanel (I didn't miss anything I need to be honest), but there's also some nice additions.
- The included CDN and optimization features, even if you can get better results with other solutions and some knowledge, they work really well and should be more than enough for lots of sites/people grabbing this deal, and will be probably not worth the additional time spent and/or costs for most of the projects you will be hosting on that kind of shared hosting.

So, all in all, let's say that performance and usability wise, I'm really happy, it's nice for a shared hosting, what I don't like:
- In this AppSumo deal, unless you are stacking 5+ codes and get "everything unlimited", the mailboxes can be REALLY short. Having "on average" 1 mailbox per domain I think is really low in most cases, more mailboxes should be needed, I know I'll need more per domain usually, I'd would prefer to have more mailboxes even if they have less storage for each of them or something like that, I don't know what the solution has to be, but I think that having more mailboxes is kind of a must.
- I didn't need to use the support yet, but in some cases (i.e. the server or the connection are 100% down), the SLA 24h maybe too much, I hope that if it's not done already, pretty soon, the tickets are reviewed fast, and then they are scaled according to the severity of the problem or the question asked.

Anyway, to sum up, is a nice hosting I would recommend.

is there any support?

Hello,
Is there any support available? The website says there is a live chat but I don't see it? It says 24/7 support with 15 minute response? I haven't received a response in a couple of days. My question on Appsumo is under review for days.

I've requested for my additional codes to be applied and to be moved to the US server and I can't really try out the hosting until then.

The email service works well and I do expect everything will work well.

Consistent issues with support

They recently increased speeds, but my sites haven’t experienced this much downtime in my 20 years in the industry. If you have a money site, really be careful as when it goes down, it’s down for days, not a couple hours. They have consistently been longer than the response time they mention.
I’m trying to migrate out to another provider, as this has been my worst experience with hosting, and they aren’t helping. There are errors with the migration they need to help on. Been about a week with no response. Not happy at all! This is the first purchase on appsumo I actually regret.

Waiting Waiting Waiting

I have a few other concerns, but I will hold them because I haven't even got my feet on the ground yet.

I bought the 10-stack of codes.

You have to sign up with one code, then put the other 9 into a support ticket for them to unlock your "agency plan".
I HAVE BEEN WAITING 6 DAYS!

Now I have also read in another review that provisioning my customers' accounts through agency is also done through this ticketing system. Oh boy! If I have to wait like this for each and every account for a customer???! I was thinking it would be push-button. There are too many humans in the kitchen... or perhaps too few?
Eww...
