Sergiu Biriş - Chief Crocodile @ Trilulilu
Trilulilu's success greatly depends on the quality of our hosting and we wouldn't choose a provider if we weren't 100% sure of the quality of their service. We work with Hostway because, apart from the fact that they do offer great service, they adapt quickly and come up with propositions and ideas for all our needs. We think of them more as partners than providers.
Sorin Dănilescu - General Manager @ Intact Interactive
The great thing about Hostway is that they help out every time we need it. For instance, when we want something custom they implement it, even if we're the only customer requesting it. Or, when there's a major sport event and we have traffic spikes, they give us access to extra equipment, closely monitor the load and response time of the site the entire time and make real-time adjustments if they detect a way to optimize user experience.
Because they're so proactive, we've developed a really close relationship and we really trust their team and technical expertise.
Corneliu Bălănescu - IT Manager @ CANCAN
It all started with a call: 'Hi, I'm calling from Cancan, I need a server with 1 Gb connectivity." An hour later I had the server and after another two www.cancan.ro was online again. That day we had over 268.000 unique visitors.
When I have a problem I make a call. And they answer.
Why Hostway? For the quality of their service, because someone always listens to you and, afterwards, solves your problem.
Răzvan Cosma - IT Manager @ Pronetis
Hostway's technical support personnel is amazingly good. After a disappointing experience dealing with KPN/GTS and a brief but very expensive trial with Rackspace, Hostway was a welcome change, in both stability and performance.
Radu Apostolescu - Owner & Marketing Manager @ eMAG
I met, at Hostway, a team extremely open to finding custom solutions to our needs. It may seem natural, but it's actually really hard to find that availability and flexibility at a big player in the rigid datacenter market. We're glad our migration to their network went perfectly and that the eMAG traffic wasn't at all affected. Our partnership started on the right foot and we have every reason to believe it will continue that way.
Dragoş Stanca - Owner
We needed a full service hosting solution that could guarantee us security as well as stability and, very importantly, the possibility for our viewers to watch movies online regardless of their choice technology or device, including laptops, smartphones and tablets. Hostway came with all the right answers at a fair price, so we're very happy with our collaboration.
Silvia Floareş - Executive Director
Cunoaştem produsele şi serviciile oferite de Hostway de peste 3 ani, dar viteza cu care se adaptează şi dezvoltă noi servicii/produse în portofoliu este o surpriză plăcută la fiecare întâlnire pe care o avem. Un parteneriat cu Hostway îţi oferă permanent perspectiva unei situaţii win-win. Implicarea în Internetics 2010 a plecat de la un obiectiv comun: „Vrem live streaming de la Gala Internetics, vrem să fie impecabil.” Discuţia nu a avut în spate niciun contract, nicio formă legală care să îi oblige să livreze un numar de X activităţi, dar şi-au asumat acest proiect cu toate modificările şi upgrade-urile pe care le-am descoperit împreuna pe parcurs.
Gabriela Bartic - Marketing Manager @ F5, Realitatea-Caţavencu
F5 understood that the best hosting providers are those you seldom call. The only calls we make to Hostway are to confirm that we and our websites feel great in this collaboration.
Alin Zainescu - Silver Tongue Devil @ Status Pimp
We chose Hostway for Status Pimp from the first day and we're not sorry... us or the pimpers :) Our servers are very happy in their network and are looking forward to welcoming new colleagues, from as many countries as possible.
Todi Pruteanu - Platform Strategy Manager @ Microsoft
In my interaction with Flaviu, Alex, Ioana, Sergiu and all the others I could see that the Hostway values are alive. For us it is a necessary condition to a long term partnership. It's easiest to talk from experience and now we just have a year behind us, for reference.
We started our collaboration looking to the future. That's how the Incubator started, which offers services to startups with potential, the participation in BizSpark and in Start&Grow. During all this time, they kept on performing with R&D and we are, right now, close to providing a CDN and an adaptive streaming service.
With our first common clients, we realized that value comes from paying attention to details and offering the highest hosting standards, and from communicating and persevering in activities that can improve services - i look at Blogway and the VDS FlexServer, they've gone a long way, from the product marketing department.
In the middle of this transformation towards hosted services, Hostway are a supplier I recommend and a trustworthy collaborator for the next projects we're preparing, for the local market.
Cristi Manafu - Owner & blogger @ www.manafu.ro, Partner @ Eventive
I chose Hostway for two reasons. First of all, because I trust their experience and infrastructure, but also because I noticed how involved they are in supporting the growth of the Romanian online environment. They support startups and interactive agencies, organize blogging workshops and, in general, try to bring a constructive contribution to the market. That's what I appreciated: the company's force and its implication.
Andrei Roşca - General Manager @ Bookblog, Pawnee Publishing
I have to admit that I didn't expect to see such a professional approach from Hostway. I had these expectations not on their account, but because the Romanian online industry suffers gravely when it comes to hosting. I approached them as one last try to find a company that could provide us with decent uptime and that we can contact at any time. And they, besides surpassing our expectations, came to our aid whenever we needed it.
We were looking for a service provider and we got a business partner.
Costin Cocioabă - Owner & blogger @ Refresh.ro
In 2010, after more than 7 years of hosting in the US and Europe, Hostway Romania proved to me that, in this country, you can meet a team that can make this happen in any circumstance and that, whenever there's a problem, doesn't make you feel like you have to be a technical mastermind to explain it to them and have it fixed in just a few minutes. No exceptions!
Bobby Voicu - Owner & blogger @ bobbyvoicu.ro
One of the things you learn after starting to work in online is how important good hosting is. Of course, you usually find this out after having lost all the data from an important website or after you work a week to recover information. Hostway gives me the security that this won't happen and that my websites are always up and running.
Cristian Şuţu - Owner
De Hostway ma leagă o amintire neplăcută altora. În după-amiaza şi seara zilei în care Mircea Geoană a cîştigat alegerile prezidenţiale (din fericire pentru el şi pentru noi, doar pentru o noapte), au fost momente cînd jucam de unul singur pe piaţa ştirilor. Cele mai importante bloguri şi site-uri de ştiri aveau să cadă pentru perioade de timp cuprinse între 15 min şi cîteva ore, iar sutu.ro a stat sus furnizînd fără griji informaţii la cald despre următorul preşedinte al României. Explicaţia lipsei de griji: sutu.ro era găzduit pe un server dedicat de la Hostway. Să vă mai spun că în ziua respectivă traficul pe sutu.ro a fost dublu faţă de cel al Academiei Caţavencu, publicaţia pentru care lucram în acea vreme?
Cristian China Birta - Owner
De când am început aventura mea cu antreprenoriatul online, am zis mereu ”ce frumos ar fi internetul dacă nu ar trebui şi servere” :)) Dar de când am semnat cu Hostway zic din ce in ce mai rar acest lucru. Pentru că nu mai am motive. Pentru că în cele cateva luni de când lucrăm împreună am învăţat că serverele nu sunt cele mai urâte lucruri de pe planetă, dacă se află în mâinile persoanelor care trebuie. Pe lângă know-how-ul lor pe partea tehnică, apreciez la Hostway faptul că mereu fac acel extra-pas ca să te ajute să înţelegi mai bine ce se întâmplă şi pentru ca lucrurile să funcţioneze în parametri optimi.
Laurenţiu Matache - Owner
Nu ştiu dacă sunt cel mai enervant client, dar cu siguranţă sunt în TOP 10. Am început alături de HOSTWAY un proiect pe platforma Blogway, iar din ianuarie sunt fericitul posesor al unui VDS (server virtual dedicat) care funcţionează impecabil. De fiecare dată când am avut o problema, echipa de la serviciul clienţi a făcut mereu ca lucrurile să se rezolve într-un timp rezonabil. Am lucrat în trecut şi cu alte firme din România, dar aici am găsit cel mai bun raport preţ/calitate, iar când vine vorba de calitate HOSTWAY nu se zgârceşte.
Gabi Dumitru - Managing Director @ Media Pozitiv
We've been working with Hostway for many years, and we wouldn't change them for any other company. We develop very different projects and we need a partner to understand each and every one and offer solutions to match our expectations.
This allows us to get involved as little as possible in the hosting side of things and to focus on what we do best. Hostway understands this need and makes our work a lot easier.
Ramon Laurenţiu Militaru - Online Manager @ HaHaHa Production
We're not good with servers, bandwidth or traffic, but we can easily tell when something works well. Working with Hostway, we realized that we don't even have to know more, for our ideas to function online. And, though we haven't tried another provider yet, we can bet they're the best. They are, after all, our partners...
Dan Dragomir - Web Editor @Market Watch
I was worried when I had to move my blog, because I've dealt with hosting companies before and I knew how many problems can show up. Everything went smoothly, though, and anytime I needed some advice or help, the team at Hostway answered immediately. I even went through a traffic spike without any trouble.
Victor Kapra - Consultant online
It's been months since my blog is hosted on the Blogway.ro servers. I chose this service because it was recommended by a friend that does serious business in online. His recommendation was inspired, as victorkapra.ro has never been down since. I also like their technical support; once I had a problem with Windows Live Writer. I made a call in the middle of the night and the problem was quickly taken care of.
In all honesty, I recommend Blogway to any blogger, and Hostway to any online entrepreneur.
Andrei Mocanu - Online Manager @ Utv
In an industry like television, quality and speed are essential. That's why I'm glad I have the change to work with Hostway, who helps us with our internet access, hosting and video streaming, but also with advice and solutions to keep Utv.ro secure.
Ilie Ghiciuc - VP IT&C @ JCI Romania
I got in touch with Hostway a few months back, because I was looking for a new hosting provider for JCI Romania. I went with a Virtual Dedicated Server, because we needed a lot of control for our application, and Hostway was very helpful in making this server available. Shortly after we started using it, we ran into some technical difficulties and, though we've worked with hosting companies before, the first pleasant surprise was when I got a technician on the phone, on the first try. The problem I had was not easy, but we kept them up to date via email and it was quickly solved. I like how they communicate actively and that I don't have to be the one making the calls to find out if my problem is being taken care of.
Adrian Tanasa - General Manager @ T5
T5 needed the best hosting service on our market and we consider Hostway to be the right solution because we were thrilled by their professionalism and western view. It was just as important that they're one of the few organisations in Romania that genuinely support entrepreneurship, which is meritorious, especially considering the actual market conditions.

George Hari Popescu - Asistent Universitar Doctorand @ Facultatea de Jurnalism şi Ştiinţele Comunicării
I was surprised by the flexibility and openness of the Hostway team, when I asked for a VDS. We configured the server together, according to our needs. The payment plans are accessible, and, if you also add an administration subscription, everything works out perfectly. I found young and understanding people work at Hostway, who always answer fast and politely to any request. We're glad to be one of the clients of this globally renowned company.
Lucian Leibovici - Owner
Cum îţi dai seama cât de important este să ai un hosting bun pentru afacerea ta? Cu siguranţă când nu ai unul. Fiecare dintre noi a trecut la un moment dat prin astfel de experienţe şi tocmai de aceea apreciem serviciile Hostway, promptitudinea şi mai ales calitatea lor. Pentru noi, www.educlass.ro, ca magazin online, este vital ca firma de găzduire să ne ofere o platformă sigură şi un suport permanent. Hostway ne-a ajutat să lăsăm toate grijile cu privire la această arie în seama lor, iar noi să ne concentrăm asupra jucăriilor educative şi a părinţilor dornici de educaţie. Echipa este realmente profesionistă şi orientată spre clienţi şi, cel mai important, te scuteşte de multe bătai de cap inutile şi timp pierdut.
Marian Radu - Owner
Eram pe punctul sa pierd majoritatea clientilor deoarece serviciul hosterului anterior era deplorabil. Aveam caderi dese, timpi mari de incarcare, obligatia de a deschide tichete la care asteptai cu orele. Cosmarul oricarui magazin online. Totul a culminat cu “poate ar fi bine sa va cautati alt hoster”. Asa am ajuns la Hostway. Am testat un VDS timp de o saptamana, dupa care am trecut la ei. Surprins extrem de placut cand la 1 noaptea, in momentul propagarii site-ului, un membru din suportul tehnic ne-a raspuns la telefon si ajutat sa avem un transfer normal.
Valentin Zaraf - Owner
Mulţumim pentru serviciile de calitate şi mai ales pentru suportul acordat. Îmi amintesc cu plăcere pentru a suta oară: am dat telefon într-o noapte de Revelion la cele 8 companii de hosting pe care le avem în România şi singura de la care ni s-a răspuns a fost Hostway.
