Award Winning Hosts

I have been using Squarespace.com for the past 2 months and I have to say that it is awesome. I had my site built well before my trial was expired, in fact I signed up with them just after the first week of my trial. They have plenty of “how to” articles in the online Squarespace manual. Also saved 10% by listening to the “Lightsource” podcast over on itunes. Lightsource is a podcast about studio lighting. They usually mention the current promo code within the 1st 10 seconds of the podcast. It’s 10% off every month of service, not just one month. Anyways that’s my two cents.

I have used Word Press, Blogger, and have a separate website based in drupal and have no training in web development. Squarespace made creating my newest site very easy and painless. I built my site using just the templates within the system and it was fully up and functioning within just a couple of hours. I have added features with the greatest of ease and have found the tutorials very helpful. For anyone who is new to blogging or self-made websites this is a great way to start out and do something that doesn’t break your bank! Cheers to the Squarespace team! M

I’ve been with Squarespace since mid-2005. Find them very good. Initially they weren’t tailored very well for Adsense and the like but the latest designs and templates have fixed that. Takes a bit of getting used to but once you do it works very well. Oh yeah…they used to have a few compatibility problems with Mac/Safari but they’ve fixed that. Best part is they are HIGHLY optimised for Search Engine Optimization. Google seems to love them. I get all the bells and whistles with the Pro Account and it costs me $15 a month. When I had Adsense on the site I was pulling $200 a month off it. I much prefer them to Blogger and WordPress – both of which I use as well. AND they use Peer1 servers out of NewYork – just like Marcus Frind’s HUGE free dating site plentyoffish.com. You can email me if you want any advice. Cheers, Mal, Paris.

This is a good hosting company and I would recommend it.

I bought the Pro package a couple of months back after evaluating their 14-day trial. Though a bit expensive but I liked the simplicity, technology and excellent support. Till the time I successfully registered my domain, the Squarespace team consistently helped me.

Though I feel the templates and widgets are few, but the product is excellent and I hope new features soon.

I wanted to write about Squarespace so others will not find themselves in the position I am in. I would never use this for personal use. I have to use it for work and it is extremely frustrating and squarespace refuses to get on the phone to discuss issues.
This is a horrible fake program I have ever had to use.

I need to refute the comment made by ‘Sam’ in te last review that Squarespace is a “fake program”. It is nothing of the sort. I have been using Squarespace for a personal website since 2004, and there is nothing fake about it. It is a professional publishing platform with which I have been been completely happy. Obviously there is something about it that ‘Sam’ doesn’t like, but he doesn’t specify what that is in his review – and that’s rather unfair. He complains that Squarespace won’t get on the phone to discuss issues, but all he has to do is raise a support ticket. Their technical support is superb, and you’ll have an answer in less than half an hour.

I am a graphic designer who has been constantly asked to create simple websites for small companies, so for me Squarespace is like a godsend. It is very easy to use and creates clean code (according to techies I work with). The customer support is very very fast and good. It is quite expensive but you really do pay for what you get. What is not to like?. As for the comment by sam, why don’t you say what is wrong with them? This is very unfair.

I’ve been using Squarespace for over a year and wouldnt switch if you offered me free hosting.

The best support around. The couple times i’ve had to email them my issue was resolved within a couple hours.
