"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."

Watch out with these guys

Watch out with these guys, They let your domains (even though set to auto-renew) expire and then say things like

"it appears the system did not process a renewal, or generate any kind of notice to yourself, or us to let us know that it was due for renewal."

At the time, they quoted the subsequent fee for reacuiring the domain, to be $3000 + VAT, needless to say hostinguk washed their hands of the problem, and I'm left without the domain....

I think they should've made right as it was their mistake.

In response, to HostingUK. We use your service so that we don't have to log in your portal to check the renewal dates. If your system can sometime not renew automatically despite being flagged to do so, then you understand why I have decided to provide 1 star.

Hi Steven,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I personally reviewed this matter with you in April 2024, when we carried out a detailed check of your account and the logs relating to this domain. At the time, we apologised that the domain had not automatically renewed.

Unfortunately, as almost a year had passed since the lapse, it had already returned to the open market and was reclassified by the Registry as a premium domain, which explains the higher price you mentioned.

Renewal dates are always visible within customer accounts, and many users choose to renew early to avoid risks of expiry. We strongly encourage this to help prevent similar issues.

We also contacted the Registry on your behalf to request a reduction in fees and confirmed we would cover any difference ourselves, but they did not alter their classification.

The domain is still available, and our latest check with Enom shows that the premium registration price has since been reduced.

We regret the inconvenience caused and hope this updated pricing helps you reclaim the domain if you wish to do so.
Kind Regards,

Chris

Started a company and needed a domain and email services. HostingUK were able to setup and get the service up and running very quickly and with no drama. Any issues were dealt with swiftly and easily.
Prices were competitive as were the annual renewals.
Can't really comment on the support and troubleshooting abilities as to be fair nothing went wrong, hosting worked, email worked, just what I needed.

You can trust Hosting UK

We had a problem with the email address for our website. Whilst Hosting UK hosts the email address, the website is hosted by a different company, and this can complicate the issue. Hosting UK staff were wonderfully patient, resourceful and encouraging over a period of several days, until the problem was resolved. They always responded swiftly and efficiently, leaving me feeling that I could trust them to find a solution.

Poor troubleshooting capabailities

Everytime I have an issue with this company (the current one is that emails on my services cannot be ised on Instantly for SMTP) it takes days to get any resolution, there is no responsibility taken to actually sort the isse - just batting it back.
I used to have 12 services with them, down to 3 now, soon to be one less. Stay away. There are much better (and cheaper) hosting companies out there (as I have discovered)

Hi Chantal,

It's disappointing to hear that you have had some issues with regard to your services and you've been reducing them over time.

I can see from your other reviews that you hold businesses to a high standard, and in the past Hosting UK received a 5* review from you, so we would hope to be able to assist in any way we can, and we have reached out to you regarding your issue.

From reviewing the concern in question, I can see that it was raised 24 hours ago, with swift responses from my colleagues looking to assist, and the prior ticket you raised a few days ago received replies significantly under our SLA doing our best to assist and look for as much additional detail as possible, to best provide a resolution.

I am extremely sorry for your disappointment in our service, but if there is anything else we can assist with regarding the remaining services on the account, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Kind Regards,

Chris

1st class company to deal with.

Excellent company to deal with.
I recently purchased an email hosting service and their support engineers were very patient with my lack of patience, due to my DNS taking time to propagate!. The dashboard is well layed out and easy to follow. Highly recommend hostingUK.

Hi Phil,

Thanks so much for your review.

I understand fully with regard to propagation of DNS - it feels like it should happen instantly but doesn't always go that way, so please don't worry.

I have zero tech knowledge and sometimes get myself very stressed when I come across emails etc that I don't understand related to my website/email/domain. Hosting UK are fantastic, they always respond quickly and with patience. I couldn't fault their service at all, you are dealing with real human beings.

Hi Charlotte,

I know Hosting and Domains is very much a niche subject, and we can't expect people to be experts - we'd much rather be the experts for you!

Speedy, efficient support as always.

I've been a happy customer with HostingUK for many years. Over those years I've had little need to seek support as the service is rock solid. Indeed, a while ago I migrated in (with their help) some domains I had with another host. It's always been my experience with HostingUK that if support is requested, it is given in a quick, friendly and efficient way through to resolution. That's been the case today also with the issue I contacted them about. First class as always.
