eUKHost is a well established hosting company that is dedicated to serving the United Kingdom with their services. They opened the doors in 2001 and remains privately owned to this day. They have hosting options for sites of all levels, but it seems they are really primarily focused on serving medium to large sized sites as most of their services are centered around VPS, dedicated servers and a service they call ‘semi-dedicated’ servers. They advertise that they are currently serving more than 35,000 customers, which makes them a smaller hosting company overall. Even though they don’t have as many customers as many of the other hosting companies, however, they are able to provide excellent services. All their services are well laid out and easy to understand. In addition, while they are primarily serving the UK market, they have customers from around the world. While looking at other reviews and comments from current and former customers, it has been quite hard to find people with anything negative to say about this hosting company.
You’ll get a 99.95% uptime guarantee with all their hosting packages, which is quite nice. It is not really clear what you get in the event that you’re doing for longer than this, but it is expected that it will be some type of credit to your bill. In the event that you have any type of downtime or any other issues, their technical support teams are quick to respond and help you get back up and running fast.
This company offers a wide range of different hosting packages to help ensure all types of sites can have a great user experience. On their shared hosting plans they have a lot of customization available including offering both Linux and Windows servers. When you move up to VPS you will have even greater flexibility available, and with dedicated servers you get full root access so you can create your own options. One of the best features about this company is that they have semi-dedicated servers, which give you virtually all of the benefits of a dedicated server, but at a significantly lower price. This is a nice perk for those who have sites that are out growing their VPS, but can’t yet afford a dedicated server.
From what I can gather, the level 1 technical support teams are not physically located int eh UK, which can be frustrating. If you have a more complicated issue, however, you can be quickly escalated to an on-site technician who can help you through the issue. It is good to note, however, that even the level 1 techs seem very competent as long as they don’t need physical access to the servers.
eUKHost has a package at virtually every price point because of the fact that they offer so many different options. They aren’t looking to compete for the lowest price in the industry, but at the same time they do take care not to overcharge. When you compare the specific features and services you get with each package, you will know that you’re being charged fairly.
If you are looking to have a site hosted in the UK, this is definitely a good option to consider. While they are clearly focused on the higher end hosting options, they also don’t neglect shared hosting either. This makes them a great choice for anyone looking to start a site with the hope of growing over time. Pros:
