What do you think about web hosting?which company would you suggest me for reliable web hosting in uk?

 

[webhostuk]

Hello,

Three major factors you should consider.

>> Server Performance.
>> Uptime guarantee
>> And customer care with support.

Other than that .. a company that satisfies all your requirement regarding site requirements, support,price and performance is best for you.

 

[TechFox]

I recommend DHosting at http://dhosting.co.uk/ . They host all my sites and their service is excellent.

You're a web host yourself, no? For a company that's supposedly been in business for over 10 years, its a little surprising you're only now having you find out who your market like. Most companies monitor this from day 1 and don't have to publicly ask.

 

[Paul Norman]

I would be happy to suggest Synthesis IT, or Openmind.

 

[Delicious Webdesign]

Am slowly moving our sites over to fast2host, exceptional service, great functionality, reasonable prices. The online chat help facility is staffed by some real smart dudes who always produce the goods.

Cannot fault them, they are also featured highly in last years PC Pro Hosting Awards (came 2nd)

 

[yourmajesty]

Do not go with snail or is that fast hosts they charge you over 50 pounds and tie you in to a contract I now use erb hosting by les sharma (I`m sure you can get his details off the internet). I am a web designer but do not use the former.

Unitedhosting
Nethosted
Webhosting
Pixelinternet

...all great for simple or reseller hosting.

 

[gavcooper]

Nethosted are a great UK hosting company, the customer service is spot on. Emails are replied too in under half hour, problems if you have any are fix straight away. I have tried a couple of larger hosting companies and my advice is to use a smaller company for better service.

Check out all the happy customers at Nethosted on their testimonials board

IS VPS good for Streaming?or shall i go for shared servers

 

[Bob1]

I have used UK2Net for a few years now. There customer service is just faultless and rediculously quick.. Also there the only hosting company to admit if they get something wrong, apologise and fix it.. Others i have been with deny everything, blame me but then the site magically fixes itself a while later..

 

[brownie]

Christian, do you work in tech support for freezone and how are you related to web hosting uk?

 

[NetwiseHosting]

How much space/power do you need?

If your running a number of high-load sites, you may want to consider a dedicated server solution.

 

[Nick_Infrenion]

Some necessary things that needs to be taken into consideration are What is server's uptime, What is the server's speed ? What are the support features ? like 24/7, quality, Quick responce on chats/tickets, account backup facility, Type of customer service, Does the hosting price fits to my budget and the most whether the hosting company offers money back guarantee if customer is not satified.

 

[chrislyons]

I think I may be missing something here.....
Let me just get this right a chap who works at a web hosting company is asking which hosting company to use , and a technical support staff member asking questions regarding VPS and Shared Servers.

I know one thing I will not be using Web Hosting UK for hosting if they aint got a clue and I defo wont be using Freezone for any technical support issues.

 

[enquirer]

Two companies only

1. Innmotion Hosting- they have been cited as the best business hosting provider on many review sites and generally across the web. Their online reputation is immaculate compared to the other host providers mentioned in the last 2 pages.

Due to the fact they are American, prices are affordable and they have EXCELLENT customer services. They have a live chat function- AND email response times of about 30 minutes (sometimes even less)- and no- I'm NOT exagerating. They are generally more friendly and go out of their way, unlike most British companies. Server up time is also terrific.

2. Justhost- they too have a very good online reputation and fast email response system. They are based both in the UK and the US and are quite affordable. I came very close to choosing them as my web host provider because they are so good. Server up time is also terrific.

Really? I have had the complete opposite.

 

[Cyclops Server Monitoring]

I've found Clook (now called Sub 6) to be extremely good - can't stop singing their praises. Their support is very fast and helpful and they always go the extra mile. Not the cheapest though.

 

[Paul Dean]

...Parrot Hosting. Links won't appear in this post, so parrot hosting dot co dot uk.

Small, with magnificent service. I host all my sites there.

 

[13enMids]

Hostgator has been perfect.

 

[Smith's Cleaning]

UK Web Solutions Direct.
Would recommend to anyone.

 

[VladimirYakimenko]

If you are interested in video/audio streaming, then you need to consider a specialised provider, rather then a generic host. Akamaiis a big one, but there are plenty of cheaper/smaller

 

[powerfind]

I would recommend LCN. Their technical support is great, price isn't too bad and i've never known my website suffer downtime

 

[Dan_HiHosting]

I would recommend any small web hosting company with a good reputation. They tend to offer far better service over the big players. I'd avoid companies like UK2 and JustHost.

Whilst US hosting can be cheaper, if you plan to host .co.uk domains you'll get better search engine performance if the server is UK based. For that reason, and having customer support during your daytime, I'd recommend a UK host.

Good luck with it.

The OP asked for recommendations, and several recent messages (now deleted) turned the thread into an argument. Can we please stay focused?

Incidentally, if someone asks for recommendations, it is acceptable to reply by mentioning your business. That is not spamming:

"Unless you offer a product or service that is directly relevant to the thread you are replying to, content that is deemed to be advertising will be deleted. The Introductions forum and the UKBF Marketplace forum are the only forums in which you can start a thread directly related to your products and services."

[jessica30]

there are plenty of web hosts right now. Better for for reviews so that you can have an idea what are the performance of some hosts based on the experiences of their clients. Try also to research for their features and prices at the same time

 

[tripatwhat]

I would recommend Adriahost.net, servers are great with 99% uptime. They have really friendly customer support with which i was always satisfied.

 

[matt4]
