Got my site live

I needed a place to put my first proper website up and didn't know where to start. The sign up was easy, though the verification email took ages to arrive. Once in, the setup wizard walked me through things and the site was live the same day.

Needed a domain and hosting

Needed a domain and hosting for my mate's band website so I went with these. Got it all sorted in one go, the checkout was quick and I didn't have to ring anyone. Site's been up since and loads fine on my phone too. Nice one.

Does the job

Honestly it does the job, nothing more and nothing less. My hosting has been running for about six years now and I've had few problems. The renewal price went up a fair bit this year which I wasn't keen on.

The uptime numbers

The uptime figure they advertise is the first thing I looked at, and so far it has held up over my first three months. I also liked that the bandwidth allowance is spelt out clearly, no hidden caps. Price is reasonable for a UK datacentre. Support answered my question about SSL certificates within the hour, which I thought was decent.

a sensible choice

I am pleased to say this has been a sensible choice for our small charity's website. The signing up process was perfectly clear and the monthly fee is very reasonable. The staff have been courteous whenever I have needed to call them.

Needed hosting for my shop

I needed somewhere to host my little online shop after my old provider kept going down during busy weekends. Signing up was simple, took about ten minutes, and the control panel is easy enough even though I'm not techy. The site has been up every time I've checked it since I moved over, and the chat support helped me sort my email settings on a Sunday evening. Happy to have made the switch.

Good value plan

Bought the basic VPS plan and it's great value for the money, I've compared it with three other UK hosts and this was the cheapest for the specs. Provisioning took a few minutes and the server has been stable since. Nothing to complain about so far.

Website hosting

I purchased a hosting package for my late husband's photography website, which I have now taken over. The setup was clear and the staff were patient with me on the telephone chat when I didn't understand the terms. It is all running very well.

Better than the big names

Compared with the big names I looked at, these came out cheaper and the support seemed more human. I was worried about switching but the migration help was good and my site moved over without downtime. Feels like a good fit for a small agency like ours.

A helpful team

I was rather nervous about moving my late father's old family history pages online, having little experience with computers. The team took the time to explain each step over the telephone and did not rush me at all. The pages are now available to my relatives across the world without any trouble, and I am grateful for the patience shown to me. It was a worthwhile undertaking for our family.

way better than before

Compared to the cheap host I was on before, this is night and day. My site stopped timing out and the support lad actually fixed the problem instead of just telling me to clear my cache. Took about a minute to get the server going once I'd paid. Anyway it's sorted now.

sign up was quick

Honestly the sign up was dead quick, took me like ten minutes on my phone. The site wanted a few bits of ID and then it was sorted. Only thing is the email confirmation took a bit to land so I was refreshing my inbox like a loon.

Not worth the money

Not worth it for what you get. The plan looked cheap until I added the extras I needed, then it cost more than I was paying elsewhere. The server did go down twice in the first month and it took a while for anyone to reply to my ticket. I've moved on.

Needed a backup

I needed a proper backup for my client files after losing a week of work on my laptop. Set up the backup plan on the site in one go and it runs by itself each night. Got a restore test done last month and it came back without any fuss. Glad I didn't wait.

Slow to reply

Had a ticket open for nearly three days before anyone replied about my database, which was annoying. The server itself is fine and it's cheap enough. Once someone did get back to me it got sorted quickly.

Much cheaper than the usual

Compared with the big hosts I'd been looking at, these came out a fair bit cheaper for the same sort of spec. I'd been with a bigger name for years and switching was simple. Everything has run smoothly since, and I've had no reason to regret the move.

Quick server setup

Bought a dedicated server on the site last Tuesday and it was live within the hour, which is fast. Had to ping support once about a firewall rule and they answered in ten mins. Doing the job I needed it for, on my phone between meetings so keeping this short.

Better than my last host

Compared to my old host this is miles better, the pages load quicker and the control panel doesn't freeze. Moved everything over in an afternoon. Only thing I'd flag is the renewal emails are a bit pushy, but the service itself is solid.
