Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Summit Hosting delivers fast, responsive support that dominates user feedback, though a small number of customers report severe service failures. The overwhelming majority praise quick response times—often within minutes or hours—and consistently professional, knowledgeable staff who resolve issues efficiently. Users particularly value that they reach real people rather than automated systems, and many note personal relationships with named technicians. For accounting software hosting (QuickBooks, Sage), administrators appreciate having direct access to manage environments rather than waiting for support tickets. Several customers have been loyal for years, citing reliability and reliability paired with helpful onboarding and migration assistance.
However, a handful of recent reviews describe drastically different experiences: extended outages lasting weeks with no response to calls or emails, missed promised response times (the "20 minute resolution" guarantee appears in complaints as a broken commitment), and poor communication where details get lost. One customer reported being charged without service delivery, and another struggled to reach anyone by phone. These contrasting accounts suggest either inconsistent service quality, possible account-level issues, or changes in support capacity.
For most users, support responsiveness appears exceptional relative to industry norms, and the platform itself is described as straightforward. Prospective buyers should confirm current support protocols and response time guarantees before committing, given the divergence in recent experiences.

I’ve been using Summit Hosting for several years. Their tech support is definitely top notch! They respond fast, get the job done efficiently, right and communicate promptly. I would definitely recommend them looking for a hosting service!

“We have a number of Sage & QBD clients hosting…”
We have a number of Sage & QBD clients hosting on Summit. Summit's fast support response times are outstanding. They also allow and admin user access allowing us to manage the applications autonomously. Other providers lock everything down and you can't do anything without a support ticket which has caused clients to miss payroll deadlines over a simple payroll update. That doesn't happen with Summit.

“Where Responsiveness and Attention to Detail Count ?????????? I have…”
Where Responsiveness and Attention to Detail Count ?????????? I have been a Summit Hosting customer since October 2022, and a Handy Networks customer since October 2015, before the Summit Hosting acquisition. My experience is that Summit Hosting operates its customer service and tech support departments with top-tier professionalism, sincere cordiality, and mind-blowing punctuality in terms of response times, which is unparalleled in many mid-size to large companies. If the saying "You get what you pay for" is true, then Summit Hosting is overdelivering. This is not hyperbole. If you require professional hosting services, from single, fully-managed server set-ups to self-managed VPS, and expect concerned, expedient responses and solutions, whether from the billing department, but particularly from support staff, then you will not be disappointed contracting with Summit Hosting if your experience nears the experience I have enjoyably had for the past nearly 10 years. I highly recommend Summit Hosting for your hosting needs, large or small.

Summit Hosting was recommended to our company. Our system has been down for 3 weeks and NO ONE will answer emails or phone calls. Some of the worst service

Support is horrendous. No one takes any time to make sure things are done correctly. They are happy to charge the credit card each month but lazy on the support side. Can't speak to anyone, details lost in emails....very unfortunate we wasted so much time on this company.

“I opted for quick books enterprise desktop with cloud hosting.…”
I opted for quick books enterprise desktop with cloud hosting. I love QB and got my company to switch from gp to qb. Didn't realize cloud hosting was with a third party. No sure who summit was before this. Even though I paid for summit already we don't have cloud hosting yet. Had to use qb on network bc couldn't wait any longer. Will cancel today. Terrible customer service. They said they will respond in 20 minutes they don't. You call their number and you can't talk to anyone. You have to email for a service order but they won't call you.

“Summit Hosting Support not only replied quickly to my request…”
Summit Hosting Support not only replied quickly to my request for assistance with a password issue, but also provided a speedy resolution that included an alternate method within the direction-steps given, in case I did not have the first option, (in my case, an icon on my desktop to change the temporary password to a new, permanent one) to complete the process. This timely, thorough & professional approach saved precious time. Not a difficult trouble ticket to resolve perhaps, but their approach treated my problem as important as any other. Without their timely and thorough approach, I would have remained in limbo, with work process - stopped. As a Quality Assurance professional, I recognize and sincerely appreciate the thoughtful dedication to customer service that Summit Hosting affords!

We have been working with Stefan at Summit Hosting while migrating a client to their Cloud Hosting service. Stefan has been extremely fast at responding to our requests, even on the weekend, and has been a true partner, helping think through the issues relating to the migration including licensing, storage, permissions, SFTP usage, usernames, and much more. I have no hesitation in recommending Summit Hosting. Respectfully, David Oderberg
