Hosting UK - Web Hosting - Domain Names - Email and Dedicated Servers - all in the UK -

For our description - we will let one of our customers describe what we do....

"Previously, I was with a different provider and every time I had anything vaguely non-standard they couldn't help and weren't interested when I discovered issues with their system. I've been with Hosting UK now for a great many years and the complete opposite is true of HostingUK. Their systems have worked with everything I've thrown at them and on the rare occasion I need help they solve the issue straight away."

Pulled back UP the cliff!

I STUPIDLY hit the delete button on my own website. (If I worked for me I would sack me.) In a screaming panic I asked for help and in a couple of hours Shirley Jane had it back to new.
Can't ask for better than that.
6 stars from me!

Competitively priced and helpful staff

I took over a website for a voluntary organisation and my technical knowledge is basic. I needed a reasonably priced email hosting provider and came across Hostinguk.net

Before deciding to use them I asked some questions of the company which were answered quickly and were helpful. This, and their competitive price, were the deciding factors in me going with them.

I needed help setting up the DNS from my Wordpress website and Hostinguk were very helpful and quick to respond.

My reason for 4 and not 5 stars is that I found their website confusing. I needed my own email and password to set up my account and for billing. Then Hostinguk sent me a separate email and password to set up my email package. Then there were separate email addresses and passwords needed for each email inbox. I would prefer 1 email and password from which I can do everything, including monitoring all 17 of the email inboxes from one place for the administrator.

That aside, all email accounts are working great and the staff have been kind and patient with me.

Exceptional customer service!

I'm rarely given to writing reviews but when you experience the high level of support that Hosting UK consistently offer, I'll make an exception. Whenever I have required technical help, inevitably through issues of my own creating, I have always received a fast and personal response - giving me guidance in a clear and considered way that allows me to rectify things.
In a world where getting in touch with someone who can actually resolve issues seems to be increasingly difficult, it's reassuring to receive such excellent customer service. Thank You!

Problems with paying for domain and hosting.
Cannot get into chat because it wants a PIN, I don't have.
And so far I can only upload one file at a time; my pictures are going to take a very long time like this!

Thanks for your review.

I'm sorry to hear the issue regarding the chat and PIN - this is available upon logging in, on the left hand side - you can click "reveal full PIN" - we do this to allow us to make sure that you're completely logged in and we know where you are in the dashboard, pass security as well as locate your account.

Unfortunately, some people would look to try and access accounts and gain some control, so we do have stringent security measures. If you've got any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out on the phone or via chat and ask for the customer care team - no PIN required.

Kind Regards,

Happy Hosting UK client, for over 15 years

I have been with Hosting UK for over 15 years and never knowingly experienced any "Down-Time".

Prices are competitive and it's good to deal with staff whose first language appears to be English (if not, they are all seemingly as fluent in English as I, who am born and raised here).

The support team are exceptionally fast, helpful and patient, when called upon either through email correspondence, through raising a fully logged "Support Ticket", or in a one-to-one telephone conversation - which I have rarely used because written solutions and guides to any issue (almost invariably due to my own ignorance) are so much more easy to follow and/or even refer back to, if a problem later reoccurs (my memory is not what it might be).

I am most happy to recommend HostingUK (I've often done so and shall continue to recommend them, based upon experiences to date).
