“Sharks! Steer well clear!”
Written on: 27/04/2013
I've been a Dataflame customer for many years now and today I decided my domains required Whois privacy. Dataflame charge £15 + vat per domain which is cost prohibitive for multiple domains, so I made the hard choice to find a new registrar who offered free Whois privacy. I then logged into my Dataflame client area to unlock my domains for transfer but couldn't see a way to do that. Using their awesome online chat I asked their support how unlock domains and they provided me with a URL... (read more)

“Help cancelling a domain that is not in use.”
Written on: 29/03/2013 by Leyloo
I use Dataflame to host my websites and the after care support is fantastic. A good example is today DS Jane was very friendly and quick and gave me clear explanations on how to cancel a domain I owned. She even offered to remove it for me as I was not sure how to do it myself. They go beyond what you need to make sure all your issues are resolved and if you are unable to complete the task they will do it for you. I think they are so good I have recommended them to a few friends and I... (read more)

“I love Barry!”
Written on: 07/02/2013 by tiwarih
I work for a charity and had been quoted £2000 to move our one page website to another hosting site and a further £800 to add 4 pages (almost identical) to the site!! Instead we found dataflame and I spent 3 hours working with Barry, the man on the livechat, who talked me through it all step by step. He was fantastic. I'm not from a techy background - I manage business relationships with catering firms regarding the seafood products they buy. So to be honest, dataflame, cpanel, file... (read more)

“Great service that is scalable, responsive & accessible”
Written on: 26/01/2013
I've been using Dataflame for over 7 years. The service is great; price point is competitive but the real beauty of Dataflame is the 24/7 online support. The support is very responsive & provided you are patient, they will address a lot of problems you may have, even on the low cost shared servers. You also have a lot more freedom on their shared servers to adjust various settings (such as PHP, MX records etc) and if you cannot do it yourself, you can ask online support. I've never had to...

“Dataflame technical support”
Written on: 18/01/2013 by apmoxey
Generally, the dataflame service runs just fine with no problems. But when there are problems (some of which are down to the user i.e. me!) the technical support guys are very efficient and very helpful in sorting things out. Moreover they are prepared to iterate through different solutions if the first one doesn't work. (My problems have all been to do with email) (read more)

Before purchasing hosting services I did some research. I also used the online chat with Dataflame to ask a few preliminary questions and received very helpful answers immediately. When I purchased the hosting package also bought an extra that I then discovered I didn't need - I contacted Dataflame asking for cancellation and refund for this extra, they processed my request and refunded the cost immediately. I have had no problems with the service, my package (basic level hosting) has all I... (read more)

I purchased hosting from Data Flame on the strength of a recommendation on a review site. The hosting has been rock-solid, and has very easy installation of wordpress which I use as a CMS. There was only one small issue with the webmail function. After working flawlessly for 2 years, for no reason I stopped receiving inbound emails. I contacted their support and received a response almost immediately and rectification within an hour. Overall, a very positive experience. They may not be... (read more)

Technical support is just amazing on Dataflame whenever I encounter a problem on our domain control panel.

The hosting packages are also reasonable and provides... (read more)

Dataflame gave excellent support as I attempted to 'publish' my website content using Sitebuilder. Without their quick, positive and encouraging responses I might have given up.

“Dataflame Review - Good at Solving Issues when they happen”
Written on: 20/11/2012
I've used Dataflame for 6 years and found them to be reliable and prompt when issues arise. Most issues I've had have been resolved within an hour or two. There are a few niggles I'd mention; particularly with regard to information provided; when I have had issues they have typically just fixed them (great!) but not explained what was wrong or how I could avoid such issues in future. There also seems to be some confusion in domains and how they are registered - I run a domain that I'm always... (read more)
