“Fantastic service”

★★★★★

written by Hurley437 on 09/01/2015

Great valve for money, excellent customer service (I got my problem sorted just 30mins after contacting and that was after 10pm on a Friday evening). Used numerous hosting companies but none are this good.

Did you contact us to discuss why your account had been suspended? It normally takes 24 days for suspension to kick in as a result of non-payment (during which time reminders are sent by both e-mail and SMS text message where available). Do please get in touch with our support team (who are available every day across the holiday period) so that we can discuss this with you with a view to resolving this issue.

“Outstanding customer support”

★★★★★

written by on 31/12/2014

5quid host customer support is amongst the best I have ever experienced. They are always really quick to respond to queries, and in my case, emergency account upgrade requests. I built and manage the website for a friend's hobby, and have limited experience, but 5quid host made the whole process of hosting the website really simple. I have recommended them to a family member who wanted to build a website for a club he's part of and he also found them to be great! 10/10!

“UPgrade process”

★★★☆☆

written by Roselynt278 on 24/12/2014

It seems sensible when there is an upgrade order to direct payment requests to the given email address that is not likely to be subject to a 'full quota' restriction. We were unable to get in to retrieve that request this last time!

Thank you for your feedback. Payment links will be sent to whatever e-mail address you've supplied to us for billing purposes. If you'd like us to add additional e-mail addresses for that purpose, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our support team.

“Review Based on StartUp only”

★★★★★

written by Stella353 on 23/12/2014

Blimey! Can't believe how fast I've been setup with a hosting service. I knew I wanted to run several sites so just went for the free service and then upgraded. Very, very quick response to both requests and actioned immediately. If the rest of the service is this good, I look forward to a long business relationship with 5quidhost!

“Fantastic Service, Friendly Team and great features”

★★★★★

written by ScottRiley on 18/12/2014

Exactly what I need to host my simple web site which holds my CV and upcoming blog area. Great service, fantastic communications; You guys always let me know if there's an issue that I need to look at or anything else to keep my site healthy. The server is kept up to date and you let me know when there are new apps or features available in the control panel. Great service on the Free pricing tier and having been with you for a while now, I have chosen to move to a paid-for plan. Keep up the good work! Scott

“Bang for buck!”

★★★★★

written by intheon on 17/12/2014

I am VERY pleased with the service these guys provide. I initially signed up for a free account to deploy some personal projects, and found the technical support was incredible even though I was a free user. They get back to you in less than an hour, and in most cases 10 minutes. Each time my issue was resolved promptly. I'd planned to upgrade to an unlimited bandwidth account when my projects where deployed to all, but the 1/2 price offer was too good to miss out on and immediately went for it. You should be very proud of the service you are providing! HIGHLY recommended.

“Always Great Service”

★★★★★

written by 76Miranda on 17/12/2014

5Quid consistently knock every other host i have used into a cocked hat. Their support is second to none (not that i have call to use it much). Get back to you in a jiffy and sort things out. This alone is worth the fee. But also their service represents superb value for money at a fraction of the cost of some of the more well known hosts.

“Good Customer Service”

★★★★★

written by ShyannGlover302 on 07/12/2014

Whenever I needed some simple or complicated query, technical or non-tech, I typically get a quick reply, either same day or next day. Actual product (network service hosting provider) works great. Pretty much uses standard hosting product, not some confusing home made interface like go-dad-dy. UK provider for European based English webmasters. PHP MySQL MyPHPAdmin works great, although I'm just learning in. Email and FTP also pretty much standards based in CPanel, which helps because you gotta know what you are doing (I use both their email service and an external domain name service email forwarding). WHM good if you got multiple sites or clients to manage. Recommended.

“5 Quid hosts are great for service and support, we...”

★★★★★

written by rcrossey on 05/12/2014

5 Quid hosts are great for service and support, we wouldn't use anyone else. Great pricing and we have never had any downtime, I can say that the support staff go above and beyond to sort out any problems all in a very short timescale. Wonderful Company.

“Great Customer Service and Value for Money”

★★★★★

written by TaylorBrown on 30/11/2014

I've been hosting my websites with 5quidhost for many years now and I can't fault them at all. I've recommended them to a few of my friends and they couldn't be more impressed. On the several occasions I have messed something up in the backend of my sites and contacted customer support for help with restoring backups, the team are really patient and don't make you feel like you are an idiot (unlike other hosts I have used in the past). In my experience they have always responded to support tickets extremely quickly. They are really good for allowing you to customise your packages too and I have recently upgraded to a bespoke resellers account which I was able to discuss with customer support and have them tailor to my specific budget - which is superb value for money by the way. I mainly use them to host my Joomla! and Wordpress websites and once optimised my page loading speeds are very good.

“Fabulous support”

★★★★★

written by RaelynnStephenson on 28/11/2014

Setting up with a host is always a learning curve but 5quid have been there every step of the way to guide me through. And unlike other hosting companies I have dealt with, they make suggestions to get my account in optimum state rather than just adequate. It appears to me they really go the extra mile - please stay that way 5quid!

“Never had a problem”

★★★★★

written by on 28/11/2014

I have had my website hosted on 5quidhost for some years now and it has been issue free. On the rare times I have had to contact them the response has been fast and effective. Happy to recommend them.

“Still great after 4 years”

★★★★★

written by Maxwell325 on 24/11/2014

I'm just a small business owner with basic IT needs and no proficiency at web design or IT admin systems. This means I can get flummoxed by things that appear quite simple to the professionals. But the support from 5quidhost is excellent. They get you submit a written request with some detail of the problem, which sometimes I can provide and sometimes I can't. But the support is very prompt, very courteous and respectful, even of my lack of knowledge. They have always solved everything, usually at the first attempt. Initially I was perplexed at not being able to pick up a phone to the support team. But I have earned this is more efficient and keeps down costs for everyone. On occasions they have phoned me to query things or to guide me down a route so it's there when necessary. Very cost effective and highly recommended.

“simple, good value host run by techies for techies”

★★★★☆

written by alexander_atkins on 23/11/2014

You don't want a website builder. You don't want Drupal integration. You don't want any idiot to sell you anything. You know how to make a website and you just want somewhere to put it. That's what these guys give you. That being said, they do have a few tools installed to make your life easier, like cPanel and phpMyAdmin. Using some clever trickery, they give you almost the features of a VPS (virtual private server) with the cost of shared hosting. So any PHP you upload runs on suPHP, for example. This did create a slight issue for me in that my hand-rolled implementation of HTTP Digest Auth didn't work at first, but I was able to get enough information out of them to fix it. Having said which, they could have been slightly more helpful at the time, and it would have been quicker, but that's what you get for having real people at the end of the support line and not customer service monkeys.

“Just what I wanted”

★★★★☆

written by 73Cleveland on 23/11/2014

Very happy with an "Everlasting", all I wanted was an off-site system under my control with adequate disk space and SSH access for DR purposes. All the other hosting companies seem to think their customers are complete idiots and dress their services up with things I don't want. Only down side was it took me a while to realise I had to contact support to get the firewall opened up for my SSH access..

“User Experience Needs Improvement”

★★★★☆

written by McFadden435 on 22/11/2014

Great on the whole but a few little things need attention. Only notified of expiration right as it expires. Not great if you're not around for a few days. Can't change the main domain the account is registered to. As companies grow and move so do their domains. The ability to change this is vital and can be done on other hosts.

5Quidhost's Comment

Written on: 26/11/2014

Thank you for taking the time to review our service. Actually, the primary domain of an account can be changed on request - just let us know if you'd like us to do so. Our billing system sends payment reminders over a 24 day period from initial notification of payment due, until the point an account is suspended. It will also send SMS text messages where available. If you're not receiving these payment reminders (either by e-mail or SMS) please let us know.

“Excellent response times”

★★★★☆

written by Sheehanwn318 on 19/11/2014

Quick response times are critical as I manage a number of websites for my clients. Very pleased with reaction to my requests and the stability of the hosting platform provided. Always a professional and intelligent response to my queries. Well done.
