Madam Shakira from Hostking Support…

Madam Shakira from Hostking Support Team, never disappoint, ever since I knew her from that Support Department.

Actually, when ever I'm looking for support and she's on the line, automatically, I know my support enquiry has already been resolved, by just attended by her, I know is already resolved; and even before I explained my challenges/ difficulties.

I'm not buying her face and anything, I'm just trying to be honest, and I'm not saying other her colleagues at Hostking are not great too, but she's the best of them in the team.
