The worst company i have ever dealt with. Not sure where they get "UK based" from as the help desk is in bloody india. One minute these people are taking calls about Argos returns, the next about email problems. They are forever losing my emails. Not a good word to say about them - beware leave well alone.

I'm a novice, running a simple club website. The responses I've had from the Live Chat feature are very poor and lacking any intent to solve my problems. The email help is slightly better, but not ideal.
Lots of problems with email redirection.

I signed up to web-mania under the impression that I was getting a value for money service.

However, I have had several problems with them and my email, in that emails I sent weren't being received and I was not receiving emails that had been sent to me, or was receiving them weeks late.

The first time I contacted them with regards to this problem, they apologised and told me that they were updating their servers. They had nothing on their website to advise of this and had never warned custome ...

1st used Web Mania about 3 years ago, with several simple sites, but they have gone down hill. Last 2 years sites have been hacked 2-3 times, also had a friend using their site who lost their whole site.
Plus the emails service is not the best.

Web Mania is a company that has had its day. It used to be good, at a good price, provided all I needed but now they cannot be relied upon to deliver the email. Often the server times out when I try to update my website. Not recommended.

I've been with Web Mania for a few years, and there's probably been a problem every year, which probably isn't too bad in the scheme of thigs. However, lost/undelivered emails have been on the increase, and as ever they're notoriously difficult to get hold of. For example, I sat on their phone line earlier for 3 minutes without any response, and so I went to Live Chat some 20 minutes ago. Still no-one responds, and in that time I've found a new web hosting companay and have had time to write thi ...

Although their support was not great, and I frequently got the "it's working for me" response up to 24 hours after I requested support, Web Mania has been affordable and mostly reliable. Recently, however has been a different story. I have two sites hosted with them, and they have both been hacked twice each within the past six months. Each time Web Mania have basically told me that my password was not secure enough (it was an un-guessable string of gibberish I had to write down on a piece of pa ...

Web Mania is quite possibly the worst UK company I have ever dealt with. BEWARE!

Maybe if you just need to host some static content, basic pages that will never be updated and will never have any serious usage then Web Mania will be fine, but if its anything that you might depend on, or not want to re-do over and over again, this is not for you.

I used web-mania for around 3 years and had 4 accounts at my peak however as I use php any mysql with hundreds of site visitors a day i was forever getting complaints of site down. The last straw was when web-mania lost my site scripts and database and restored to one which was at least 4 weeks old. When i complained I was told it was my fault for not backing up the site.

Cheap, easy to use and manage. I recommend this host to anyone needing a PHP and MySQL solution. Only bad point in my experience is the intermittent downtime gives them about 95% uptime in a year. But I well recommend Web Mania.co.uk

I would not recommend Web Mania unless you have a very simple website.

Sadly, I am in the process of changing all my wesites to another provider that gives me more control - less restrictions - and hopefully a better more professional technical support. I do not recommend to use Web Mania.co.uk!

Agree with jdevil22 and Wildcard. As a small website design company we've hosted quite a few sites now with WebMania, and have experienced frequent server timeouts. Complaints are dealt with, not always successfully, but frequently require multiple follow-ups, and they never admit anything was ever wrong.

Their unreliability would probably go unnoticed for static sites, but you really realise how often the servers timeout when you run even a basic e-commerce site with them.

We've moved m ...

I cannot understand the vilification directed at Web-Mania here. I have hosted a dozen or so sites with them, and still have a fistful; no complaints. Is it because, being human, we all complain when something goes wrong once in a while, but never congratulate when things go right most of the time? Today is Friday 13th, no doubt some wag planted a nasty their way, as my sites (and theirs) were down for eight hours (yes, sounds a long time, but it's the first time-out in ages). My last host simpl ...

Affordable yet unrealiable hosting. E-mail accounts always have countless problems with many different types of error messages.
Seeing as it's for a business, e-mail is crucial and when it doesn't just work then it becomes a hassle. Which would be fine if the support team actually done something about it. But they never do, ever! Whenever theres a problem which could be in their minds eye remotely difficult they ask you to e-mail the "Senior Suppor Team." Which would be fine if they replied ...

I have many accounts with web-mania that I am slowly moving over to one.com as I am fed up with years of unreliable service and rather unfriendly support. They never fixed things when i talked to them and just said 'it works for me' as if nothing was ever wrong.

For the money, Web Mania is excellent! No problems and ideal for a small company or organization.
