“Best host I have ever used”
Written on: 04/05/2013
Running a web design team of 6 I have used and worked with many different hosting providers and I have to say that Simple Servers is the best one I have ever worked with. Their servers are quick, responsive and in the event there is something wrong (we run resource intensive sites) they are on-hand straight away to rectify it. Great uptime, great speed, great support and great prices. Keep up the good work! (read more)

“Absolutely awesome.”
Written on: 10/04/2013
My business uses Magento as its backbone... anyone who has ever worked with it knows that it is heavy when it comes to usage and really requires top quality equipment. We went with Simple Servers not because their pricing was great (it's certainly on the higher end of the scale) but that their hardware was in its own league and from the information that we could gather from their blog/website postings, they definitely knew their stuff. They offered a great Magento-optimized shared server... (read more)

“Best Overall Host”
Written on: 03/04/2013
I was new to setting up a website and I was amazed by how friendly the guys at SimpleServers were, Now I look back years later I asked some pretty stupid questions! But they helped me in getting myself all set up. If Ive ever had a problem with my site, something not working they've been able to provide me with the know how to solve the problem asap. I really couldnt ask for better. Their Magento Knowledge is superb and all my common issues such as activating the maintenance flag were solved... (read more)

“Outstanding Speed”
Written on: 29/03/2013 by Pritchy
After lots of stress from our previous website designers and hosting, I went on a mission to find a decent magento hosting specalist, at a good price. I am so glad I found these guys (and girl) THEY KNOW MAGENTO. They have a great support team, very OPTIMISED magento installation that runs at least 40% quicker than our previous hosting provider. I started with their £1 trial just to test the water and we now have a super dedicated server with them. Give them a try. (read more)

“Fantastic In Every Way”
Written on: 01/03/2013
I've had many different hosting companies and been brutally ripped off by some of the biggest names in web hosting either slow servers that regularly fail, overpriced service and no support - then I discovered Simple. In my opinion they are nothing short of fantastic in every respect! Support 10/10 Server speed 10/10 Value for money 10/10 Attitude 10/10 its a pleasure to deal with some of the technical team.

“Fanatical Support”
Written on: 10/02/2013

“SimpleServers “Magento Shared Server” trial”
Written on: 15/12/2012
The initial simpleservers.co.uk setup was easy and I had a new domain name registered and an empty Magento site up and running very quickly – I was impressed. The speed of the site appeared acceptable but I was not able to do any real testing, as I did not get the opportunity to add any data/products. The biggest problem was actually getting files (my Magento theme and extensions) onto the site. I had chosen the £1 trial offer to test SimpleServers “Magento Shared Server”... (read more)

“Helpful & timely”
Written on: 07/12/2012 by NickW2012
I have been using Simple Servers for my Magento hosting for the last few months. I have to say the thing that sets them apart for me is the customer service - almost immediate responses to tickets & more often than not problem solving/advice. I would be more than happy to recommend them and can't imagine going anywhere else for my Magento hosting. (read more)

“Held My Hand”
Written on: 23/11/2012
I have a very basic knowledge to hosting and have had my hand held by these guys. At times while i was getting used to cPanel i did feel like a pest with a number of support tickets a day. The tech team were absolutely fabulous and helped explain what to do until i now have a good understanding of how things work. My site is much faster and i am hoping to get additional sales. Thank you for the ease and convenience of this service. (read more)

I have used a number of different hosting companies in the past, with varying levels of frustration. Since moving my sites over to Simple servers via recommendation from a friend, I have finally found one I feel happy about. I have been impressed by their speed of response to support tickets and the reply is always human, friendly, doesn't assume you have expert knowledge, and all issues I have ever had have been solved super quickly and super efficiently, without making me feel like I am a...

“Fantastic Overall Company”
Written on: 06/10/2012
What a professional company. I cannot credit these guys enough! I initially contacted them a few weeks back on their online chat and have always had a fast and thorough response to any questions both on chat and their support ticket system. I eventually ordered their SSD shared hosting and they transferred my Magento store FOR FREE using a cpanel transfer. The site move was completed within the day and propagation was left to run over night. I was amazed in the morning how much faster my... (read more)

“Excellent service all round - ideal for Magento!”
Written on: 05/10/2012 by pdlondon (1 review written)
Simple Servers went far beyond my expectations to ensure that my Magento installation runs perfectly on my dedicated server with them, offering to perform the migration and setting up my subdomains and SSL certificates too, a nice touch! I'm very impressed with their level of knowledge and support for Magento. With their server tweaks my store now runs perfectly! The level of support is excellent for the price, which is considerably less than my last dedicate server contract! One thing I... (read more)

Really professional service, moved over in a day. Fantastic improvement in speed on my site. Really pleased I made the move. I feel that we are in capable hands with a company that ensure they are using the latest technology to run your website. Our old previous server was back level and needed extra work to bring it up to speed. All handled brilliantly by simple servers thank you Yvonne Rogers (read more)

I contacted Simple Servers with lots of queries, and they answered very promptly and even gave me a special deal to use when purchasing. I was majorly impressed (my point of contact was a man named Simon) and we even went on talking late on Sunday night and early on the, at the time, Bank Holiday Monday. I couldn't recommend the service enough so far, and I can't wait to start using the service properly. Harry (read more)

Simpleservers's Comment
Written on: 15/12/2012
From Simple Servers
Thank you for your review we do take these serious. FTP such as filezilla will port scan the server automatically and will have caused the port scan block, sorry if this has caused you problems however we run an aggressive firewall for the safety of all our shared clients.
You have mentioned two different companies, Simplyservers that have nothing to do with us and simple servers that is us. Our offices are based next to our partner data centre six degrees managed data we have not tried to hide any information relating to our company.
