Web Host UK is, as you would expect, based in the UK. They are a private company that is debt free. The company has been in business since 2003 and they have been growing and expanding ever sense. In fact, they claim to be the UK’s fastest growing company. One big benefit of this provider is that they have all of their servers and tech support teams stationed in the UK, so you don’t need to worry about having to work with people who aren’t even in the same location as the actual hosting.
This company provides good quality shared, VPS and dedicated hosting solutions to their customers. In addition, they offer domain name registration, SSL certificates, marketing tools and more. This can help you to get your site up and running quickly and without any trouble. No matter what type of site you want to host, if your target audience is in the UK or the surrounding region, this should definitely be a hosting company you consider.
Everything that this company uses in terms of data center, server hardware, network connections and more are going to be name brand and of excellent quality. This allows them to provide a 99.999% uptime guarantee for the network connections. In addition, since they have professional tech support available 24/7 they can respond to any potential issues extremely quickly. You’ll also get solid state drives (or at least the option to get them) so you don’t have to worry about data loss or failure.
As you browse through the Webhost UK site you will see that there are a lot of different options. You can choose from either Linux or Windows hosting on all the hosting options, which helps make it easier for you to get exactly what you want. When looking at the shared hosting packages you will see that there are four options. The first one gives you 500 megs of disk space, 5 gigs of bandwidth, free Google Adwords Credit and up to 5 email addresses. You are limited to 1 website domain at this level. When you move up to the second tier you get 2 gigs of disk space, 20 gigs of bandwidth and can run up to 5 domains. If you move all the way up to the highest level package you get 10 gigs of disk space, 100 gigs of bandwidth and unlimited numbers of domains, databases, email accounts and more. You also get a free domain name included with your purchase.
VPS hosting has three options for Windows and three for Linux. With VPS you can choose anywhere from 1 to 4 gigs of RAM, 1 to 4 CPU cores and 30-80 gigs of disk space. You’ll also get a free dedicated IP address included with each package. One other nice point with the VPS hosting is that you get solid state drives, which improves the speed and reliability of your hosting.
Dedicated servers come in a bunch of different configurations and you can install any operating system you want. If you want the OS pre-installed you have to choose Linux or Windows. They use high quality Dell servers with Intel processors to help ensure everything works at all times. With so many options at the dedicated server level you will find that there is something for everyone.
The technical support teams with this company are all physically present in the UK, which means they will be there when you need them and there shouldn’t be any problems understanding them. They also monitor their servers quite well so they can respond to issues before you even know there is a problem. In addition to the live support options, they have a well-run knowledge base that is filled with lots of helpful information to help you learn more about the hosting they provide.
Their pricing is very affordable at the shared hosting level, and it goes up from there. Even at the highest level of hosting, however, you are going to be getting a good price for the level of services you are receiving. Standard Linux shared hosting starts at just 14.99 Euro per year and goes up to 49.99 Euro per year for shared. VPS hosting starts at 39 Euro per month and can go as high as 59 per month. Dedicated servers run from a little over 100 Euro all the way to 553 per month.
The fact that this company has so many different hosting options to choose from might make you worry that it is going to be hard to figure out. They, however, have done a really great job at making sure that everything is clearly organized and easy to access. Everything is surprisingly easy to use with this company. Once you sign up, they have their control panel available, which is very easy to use too. Should you ever need to work with their tech support or sales teams directly, they are easy to get ahold of and work with. Since everyone is located in the UK there shouldn’t be any language barriers or other similar issues.
If you are looking for hosting that is based in the UK, this is an excellent company to consider. They have high quality hosting options for people no matter how big or small their website is going to be. From simple personal blogs to large corporate sites, you’ll have a great experience with this company.
