About Hosting UK

Written by the company

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."

Excellent fast, effective support from Hosting UK

Contacted Technical Support because my domains were down (no emails, no website). Received a response in less than 15 minutes to confirm the issue was due to a protective firewall block after several failed email account login attempts. Technical Support unblocked the server and offered guidance around email account checks for me to carry out. Very impressed yet again by the excellent fast, effective support from Hosting UK.

Clearly regaining access to Mail etc.

Clearly regaining access to Mail etc. on a new device was the number one issue.
I actually learned a few things during the process!

Remember to be patient as instructions, testing, changes etc. are carried out. Not every fix is instant!

Easy and efficient

Efficient, quick in response and always at the end of the phone. I spoke with Peter who is in the sales department initially and he knew who I needed to be talking to with regard to transferring my email hosting over within Hosting Uk as well as checking in every step of the way during the process.

Sean in the technical department was incredible at problem solving and was very consistent and clear within the proposed solutions as well as always replying to my technical questions in very good time with exact information to successfully transfer my email hosting over! Great team and service!

Down for 8 hours, poor redundancy and recovery

We have an important site with Hosting UK which is essential for the running of our company. Hosting UK servers have been down since 9.08 this morning and came back online at 17.01. That is a full day of productivity lost for around 25 members of our team. This will result in significant costs to our business and we will of course be moving our sites away from this company. Clearly Hosting UK’s redundancy and recovery systems are not good enough. No answers minimal comms, not a good outfit if you rely on your websites.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the disruption experienced yesterday.

We fully recognise the severity of the outage and the impact it has had on your team and business operations. An interruption of this length is not the level of service we aim to provide, particularly for business‑critical platforms, and we understand your frustration.
The incident is currently under full internal review, including our redundancy, recovery processes, and communication handling.
If you are open to it, we would welcome the opportunity to arrange a call to discuss any questions you may have, and outline the steps we are taking as a result of this incident.
Please let us know a convenient time, and we will make ourselves available.

The team gave me a comprehensive solution to my problem.
Every step brought a sense of customer support, professionally delivered with a more than satisfactory outcome.

This company made sure that the ticket issued was problem free before closing.

As a counselling professional I have to add, this has built a level of trust in their service and as such I am happy to leave a positive review.

Quick, efficient and friendly

As a complete idiot when it comes to anything IT/email related I was relieved to be assisted by two incredibly helpful people who were patient in guiding me to provide them with the info they needed to diagnose and fix my problem. In the end, the problem was for another provider to fix, but the guys at HostingUK let me know this and gave a recommendation as to what the other provider could check. They were both very pleasant to work with and didn't make me feel any more idiotic.

Quick and effective help with disk space issue

We recently experienced a critical disk space issue on our server.
The support team assisted with cleaning up mail storage and old log files, which helped free up a significant amount of space and stabilize the system.
Communication was clear, and the requested actions were completed as instructed.
Overall, a positive experience in resolving this specific issue.
