www.kattare.com is the best ISP I have ever hosted anything with. Their choice of the hosting Operating system is the most WEB friendly. As long as kattare maintains the same level of service I would not want to change this provider Bigggg thanks to Ethan and team for making this service available. --alexn@kattare.com

Great Support, Great features for the Money.

Overall, I have no complains with kattare. I have been a customer for about 1 1/2 months. Even when I have had a problem e-mail or call have had quick response time. Also, this has been the only ISP that offers a private JVM that allow me to control when I start and stop tomcat for a price under 50 buck, with database support.

Excellent!

I have had a very positive experience with Kattare. The offered feature set was exactly what I was looking for with a price that made it perfect. The high quality of and quick responsiveness of Kattare's support staff is almost shocking. I can't imagine anything that would make me want to switch to another host.

I've set up a couple of corporate accounts with Kattare and their service is amazing. Not to mention they're the only host I could find that gives you a private Java VM at such a resonable price. If you're doing any kind of Java development these guys are worth checking out.

Our last ISP was so unresponsive that they refused to map a new domain name to our project directory (nor would they answer the phone, respond to emails, etc.). The project was in jeopardy. Kattare is completely different. If we need anything we just write or call. They answer immediately and the always do whatever we need within the day, often within the hour! The level of service is truly incredible. The toolset they provide covers everything we need, and they upgrade to new versions regularly. Excellent online control panel for manipulating your account as well. Highly recommended!

These guys are too good to be true! All of the other hosting providers I have ever worked with are either too expensive or too unreliable. And in all cases customer service was virtually non-existant. With Kattare, however, that is not the case at all. Their connectivity, reliability, and customer service is all first rate. Any time you have a question about anything you get a QUICK reply from a guy who KNOWS what he's talking about. As most of you probably know, this kind of 5-star service is not the norm for tech support at most hosting providers. Since I joined Kattare several months ago, I have been nothing less than amazed. I would most wholeheartedly would recommend this service to ANYONE - they have service plans for everyone from individuals to corporate sites - all priced at an amazingly low rate. In fact, were they not so good, I never would have taken the time to write this review, but in this rare case I think they really deserve it.

All the above comments are true. They do answer your pesky questions. The guy that picks up their phone isn't from some temp agency assigned to the 'computers' because he knows powerpoint. They do have a big suite of features of a low low price.

That being said, the reason I'm putting up a review is when I log into their ssh account I get a prompt to come here and put up a review. So that explains it...on the other hand-if they sucked royally a lot of people would come here and give really negative reviews.

So yeah, they are really good (and they do cool non-java stuff like mod_perl and embperl!)

Reviewer: Roland Kisseleff  
Overall: 5     Features: 5     Reliability: 5     Support: 5

Choosing Kättare as the hoster of a domain has been one of my best decisions EVER! Things really run as advertised, and getting your own JVM and 100 Megs of space for $29 a month is a steal! Whenever I had requests or problems (and I guess I am not easily satisfied), I had answers that worked within hours. Bugs in some of the features were corrected almost immediately, and suggestions (like "please don't display my e-mail passwords in clear-text by default") were even implemented in their site within a day or two!! Bottom line is: This is a worry-free provider who really cares about customer requests and problems and solves them very competently. You won't find a better support!

A very, very reliable hosting company.

Their support is without paralell, they respond within 24 hours to nearly all requests and if they don't within that time they will apologies! (Rare!)

They also have a wealth of technical knowledge so that if you are having a problem they can indicate where you are going wrong.

Finally they are responsive to things that you work out about their system, i.e. they want to know how to improve... Excellent all round.

Only thing I wish they had was automatic transfer of your domain, although this isn't their fault since they don't have control of it...


Been with them for over a month, two problems

Date: August 16, 2002
Reviewer: smitty  
Overall: 4     Features: 4     Reliability: 3     Support: 4

I have a lot of good things to say and one bad thing to say about kattare. I've been with them for a little over a month. I'm paying $39/mo. With that I get a linux shell account, my own tomcat 4.0 instance, as many email accounts and domains as i want and a mysql database (they have postgres also). There are a lot of other features, but I don't care about them. The admin tool is very easy to use and everything seems very fast. it's also rumored that they might have jboss available soon.

Now for the bad stuff. There have been two instances (now being one of them) where my site (and kattare's) have become unavailable due to DNS issues. This is irritating because the problem is so easily resolved. I hope Kattare is working to ensure better reliability from their dns servers. Having less than 100% reliability just because their DNS server crapped out is bitter-sweet.

Do I recommend them? Yes. BUT IF YOU HOST ANYTHING AT KATTARE, YOU SHOULD USE GRANITECANYON OR SECONDARY.COM AS A SECONDARY NAME SERVER. Both are free and had I thought to do this I would be able to get to my website right now. =(

Kattare, please fix this to make a good service great!

I have been with Kattare for around 4 years now and I have loved the service. The customer support is awesome. My site was down maybe a minute when that DNS server croaked. Heck it was probably because the secondary DNS server was getting flooded. Anyways I just wanted to say that I don't think you could find a better hosting service out there.

I have been with Kattare for about three weeks now and have had several tech questions. Support has been wonderful! They have answered ALL my questions thus far and even helped me out in setting up a login shell program.

Getting set up with Kattare was easy as well. No hassle and very quick. I have not had any trouble with the server up to this point. Everything seems to work. If this is a sign of things to come, I anticipate being very happy with this host.

I really can't say enough good things about these guys. They recently upgraded their internet pipe and now the speed is better than ever. Excellent and very knowledgable staff. None of the "canned" answers to questions that you will get from other laarger ISPs. Big brother reports over 99.9% server uptime. There really is no competitor even close to this kind of value. Give them a shot and you will not be disappointed!

After searching around hoping from one ISP to another that claimed to support servlets I finally found kattare.com. This is by far the all around best hosting company for anyone (even those who just have static HTML). From their smart web based management tools to their server configuration and layout everthing blows away the competition. It is well worth the $54 per month. The worst of the bunch as to be addr.com. On the flip side stay far away from addr.com... I wasted a ton of precious time exploring that pathetic excuse for an hosting provider.

I agree with a previous review that the answers (when they chose to reply) were often vague and confusing to the point of being useless. We run a professional web site where good support is vital. We've left Kattare and now moved to a different private 'JVM' web host which has fast response times and excellent support.

These guys are simply the best ISP I've found, especially for the price. I've got the corporate pro account and am running two separate web apps under Resin with a mysql back-end, both of which are fairly involved apps. I totally DO NOT agree with the others who say the support is not good. I moved to kattare over the holidays and even then every one of my questions was answered quickly and accurately, and like I said I do not have a simple setup. This is my fifth servlet ISP, and is by far the best, especially for the incredible price!

I just completed implementing and turning on an e-commerce hosted on Kattare. Now to generate traffic - but I digress.

Last fall when I started looking for a Java/JSP/Servlet/Tomcat ISP to host my site, I read reviews on this site and others, and talked with a bunch of competitors. Kattare's openness and help was head and shoulders above anyone else.

This same level of service and support continued once I signed up, begin implementation and through deployment. This included assistance with SSL and payment gateway questions.

After many hassles with other ISPs, I read the (positive) comments on this list and decided to go with Kattare.

At this stage, using Kattare seems like a good move - sub-24 hour turnaround on adding Perl modules to their webserver and an extra database allocated to my account.

Setting up common tasks on their side is obviously well scripted (read: reliable - pesky humans removed from process) and is polished.

I've only been with them for three days (hence the no comment for reliability or overall as yet), but I am very impressed.

These guys have been great. I always get a knowledgeable human when I call and they are willing to work with me when I need an extra demo database or other request. Key pluses are great support, PostGres and MySQL available, and a private JVM.

Things I would like to see improved (and this is small stuff compaired to the good):
-I would like to see more documentation/integration for PostGres. MySQL has its own FAQ section and usage stats available on the site, while PostGres does not.
-It would be nice to have more disk space and email addresses available. They use RAID drives, so space is at a premium, but I would be willing to limit the size allocated for email boxes in order to have more boxes or hosting space.

I put in a review previously after three days and was quite impressed with the service back then.

Well ... that has been my consistent experience over the past nine months.

Example (one of many): I moved my apps to a new version of mysql and it broke my bugzilla install. The founder debugged bugzilla and got it working in under 24 hours. Without prompting. On a Saturday.

You describe a business problem and they (in my experience) work out how to make the problem go away. Even if that means changing the way they 'do' things.

Amazing.

Kattare was the third Servlet-running ISP I tried (after WestHost and eRoute). After really poor experiences at those two (WestHost's Tomcat support is iffy at best, and eRoute are basically crooks), I was a bit worried that I would never get my site off the ground. Brenden and the rest of the Kattare crew have been VERY helpful, supportive and pleasant. They're a great find.

We had a horrible experience with a cheap Java hosting service (bordering on bogus!) and switched to Kattare for corporate website hosting and for our wireless products which require a solid, scalable servlet back end. We've had one incident of downtime due to a horrible storm but other than that...rock solid. Knowledgable support staff. Kattare is the next best thing to having a computer room and staff just down the hall from your office! I'd recommend Kattare to anyone with a serious need for hosted Java support.

Since early April 2004 we have completely changed our website from one based on JSP to a full blown Cocoon 2.1.4 website.

The support guys were very helpfull in getting the new site up and running and keeping downtime a minimum.

Although we encountered some problems these were quickly solved.

So if you are looking for a ISP supporting Cocoon be sure to take a look at Kattare (and when you subscribe, do mention xmlmill as a reference)!

I researched several providers before deciding to go with Kattare. After dealing with several second-rate customer support and half a** providers that promised everything but delivered about half of that, I figured what the heck I’ll give Kattare a try. Woa! Their customer support is second to none; their prices are unheard of for the service they provide and their systems work as advertised. I can't possible say enough good things about Kattare. They got the dog-gone thing right!

Thanks Team Kattare.

If you are considering a hosting service that is second to none and reliable try Kattare.

I have been using Kattare for the last 1.5 years and their service has been THE BEST. These guys know how to run and support a top quality service that is up 24x7. I sleep well knowing they are handling my website. Case in point, one of my site users accidentially deleted a file. I contacted Kattare and the file was restored in less than 10 minutes. It may have been instantly -- I don't know for sure -- I checked 10 minutes later and there it was! These guys ROCK!!!!

The guys at Kattare do. Please do yourself a favor, if you need servlet hosting, get it at Kattare. They give you your own JVM, so it will handle whatever you throw at it: Struts... Hibernate... Spring...

Not only that... there's virtually no waiting on the phone to tech support during regular business hours. You get through right away.

I signed up with Kattare based on a recommendation from a friend whose been hosting with them for years. (See Damain's review above.) He told me all sorts of wonderful things about them, so I came in with extraordinarily high expectations, and they fulfilled every one of them.

Were it not for the personal recommendation, I might have been hesitant to pony up the setup fee given bad ISPs I've encountered in the past that I had to leave within the first month, but I don't regret signing on with Kattare in the least.

Support responds quickly and knowledgeably, the systems run well, and problems are handled well.

Kattare provides as part of the normal hosting package a thoughtfully put together set of facilities to accommodate for a flexible long term use. They also accomodate special requests as sometimes they are inevitable. For us, they even upgraded our jdbc drivers when they upgraded the system.

Although they do provide a reasonable disk space, we would like to see more space for the same price, as we service NGOs who often seek low/free hosting, and there are some sites that happen to indicate that they provide 30G space for the price Kattare charges for 2G.

I changed to Kattare Internet Services about 1 month ago. My site utilises the following technologies - all of which were seamlessly supported by Kattare

- Servlets (using velocity)
- MySQL and Torque for database support,including connection pooling
- JavaMail for email support

Implementing all of these technologies was not a problem with Kattare. Auxilary services including http log files, email management and general domain management are all top notch.

Support through email is a little slow, but this is due to time differences between Europe and the US. Thanks again and keep it up.

What I liked when I ordered my account:

JBOSS hosting with full access to the server.

What I got: Some tripped out configuration of JBOSS 3.2.3 and absolutely no one at Kattare to support it and its problems...

My Experience: First thing ... They set the root directory of my website to Jboss ... I had to explain that "I only need JBOSS to host my applications, not my websites ..." They also put a hello.war in the deploy directory? I thought, "If I wanted a tomcat server I WOULD OF GOT ONE!" They have no business what so ever offering JBOSS to customers ...period.

Email Support: NON-EXISTANT Phone Support: GOOD (when I called they did a good job of trying to fix the problems; for instance when my client called me and told me her site was down at 4:00am- I called Kattare and they fixed the problem with their apache server.)And when out of the blue Jboss started serving up blank pages on my applications they were there for me.

Summary: If I was in high school and played with tomcat I would LOVE it at Kattare. Unfortunately I have a business to run...

I was told they refunded my money when I cancelled after a WEEK. Let's hope they can get that one right !

Thanks Kattare !

Our company discovered Kattare around 4 years ago, after using a number of other providers: Verizon, Hostgo, Valueweb, Godaddy and 3 or 4 others.

On the day we found Kattare, we stopped looking for any other providers. Our company hosts large-scale mission-critical applications for Fortune 100 & 500 companies, (and smaller companies too). But to work sucessfully with the big boys as we do, you can't be just good. And Kattare is not just good. They are freakin' GREAT.

Their TWO (separate location) datacenters means I never have to work with the other *idiots* again as a backup/fallback.

Got a problem? Call 'em... anytime: day or night, any hour. Call 'em at home, call 'em on their cellphones... or page an engineer through their website... Call the owner - he's available, and has helped us sell important clients before - all i can say is Kattare MUST be great ... to make themselves so accessible and available. And they are.

You just cannot get the level of service, response or expertise they offer ANYWHERE else.

Their prices and their expertise, and willingness to go the last mile to solve customer issues is so far out of the norm. Believe me, you'll sleep nights again.

Very quick setting up, helpful and quick to respond to requests for configuration. I've never noticed any downtime problems. I highly recommend Kattare.

Highly Recommended

I have now been with Kattare for over 3 years. Tech Support is top-notch and the feature set is exactly what I need. There has been some minimal downtime, but I am satisfied with the response time and clear explanations of each occurrence. The service is a little pricey, but I'm getting what I paid for.

Very impressed

I've only been with them for several months but they are very fast with requests, and give me plenty of privileges, two things that normally don't go together. They are also very open about when there is an issue (of any sort) on the servers. Every ISP has downtime, but it's always a good sign when they bring it to your attention, rather than a customer.

5? What does this mean?

Excellent technical support. Most important to me is their deep understatement of the Java web server, the understanding of the Java Servlet architecture. The prices are in line with the market of hosting services. Here I am assuming the features that have ISP is referring to providing modem bases connectivity. I am not using that service but I do use the hosting services so I can only comment on hosting.

11 years later... still great as ever

I've been using their services for more than ten years. I appreciate the reliability and speed of Kattare's infrastructure and team experience. Whenever I have a question their support has been friendly and helpful.
