Powered by Penguins is a relatively new and up and coming web hosting company. I found their prices to pretty much the cheapest I could find and the whole hosting process was simple and straightforward. Their actual website is very easy to navigate and a good knowledge base section with useful hints and tips. The hosting dashborad is simple and straightforward to use and I was able to get my website up and running quite quickly.

We have hosted with some rubbish web hosting companies since my first website back in 1996, so it was good to find an honest, reliable and most importantly friendly hosting provider in Powered By Penguins. Beyond the rather strange name which insinuates cold and un-British is a rather warm and extremely British service which is not only fast but very robust. I've had hundreds of sites in my time and not once have I felt the need to write a review. I had the pleasure of hosting my main site with them for over a year without issue and now I've just signed up again for my latest venture. Keep it up guys, You'll soon be the biggest UK hosting provider the way you are going.

Just great thank you for your hard work and being there for your clients when they need you! Fantastic job!

I keep wondering what the catch is? Setup almost instant, response to emails or online queries the same. So far I can't find fault with any part of the service provided.

They are extreemly quick to reply to support emails and do all they can to help you if you have any problems. I like the user interface of their control panel. I have all my sites set up with them and have moved from hostgator

I cant even remember how I stumbled upon poweredbypenguins but i'm really glad I did. £25 a year for 500Gb of webspace and cheap domain names sounded too good to be true but good it was (is). The amount of features on offer is huge, from one-click wordpress installations to shopping carts to site analytics. I've never had any problems and all questions I've asked have been answered within the hour. Fantastic.

I began using powered by penguins a few months ago when I set up my new website. The whole process was very straight forward which was really important to me being new to running a website. The customer service is absolutely fantastic with often immediate responses to queries via email. I have had no problems and am very pleased with the service. This is how it should be done!

I like to think of myself as a bit of an entrepernarial type and have these mad ideas to create websites that I think will be the next big thing... I'm still trying, unlike these guys. Powered by penguins offered me the perfect solution for my hosting needs. I signed up for an account late on a saturday evening and submitted a ticket to see if I could get them to transfer my old domains and hosting for me. It was answered within minutes. Within days everything was transfered and complete, My site was moved including email accounts and databases and was working perfectly. Compared to my old host (no names mentioned) powered by penguins blow the socks off them. They didn't even charge me for moving everything, mind you they did say not to tell anyone lol - oh well Would I recomend to a friend? most definatly. I think they go the extra mile so that people write good things about them, review centre links are in all their emails and support tickets so I would imagine if they done anything wrong bad reviews would be all over the internet, but there not, believe me i searched hi and low and only found one bad review on here which powered bys staff had replied too. Here's to many years of trouble free hosting, and hopefully my first million! although just a few K would do

I honestly didn't know where to start when researching potential website hosts. I read some of the reviews for these guys and decided to take a punt. I have only been with these guys for a few days and have had a fantastic customer service experience already. I had few issues setting up my site via ftp and Paul and Lee sent a number of prompt, comprehensive and personal replies to my queries. I've got no doubt, having read all the other reviews, that this is a one off and I'm feeling really pleased to be using them and to have their support for the future.

Trying to find a web hosting site that is easy to use is tough nowadays with the amount of technology that is surfacing on the web. However; coming across Powered By Penguins was a gold mine for me! Just as the advertisement said, simplyclick pro is just as easy as that. Simply click. The customer service provided by their support team is magnificent. If only the entire web hosting community could provide such great service the WWW would be a much better place. I can praise them enough for assisting with my upcoming web start.

PBP are an absolutely brilliant hosting service, I cannot praise them highly enough. The service they offer is fantastic with speedy and efficient support, so that even a totally IT illiterate like myself can make a reasonable attempt at setting up a website. If you are looking for a hosting service at a more than reasonable price look no further!

Really cannot express how brilliant powered by penguins have been! I needed some help to create a website for my business and to host it. Me knowing nothing about it,I contacted them and they got to work straight away, they did all of the design work and it looked better than I could have imagined. The hosting was all set up and they explained how to use the control panel to make any changes as and when. Fantastic service and aftercare! Thank-you again!

I have been dealing with PBP for a couple of months now. Apart from hosting they have been doing all the design work for us too. The end result looks great, the site is fast, and support is brilliant. Value for money? I can only give it 5 stars!

I just wanted to say how brilliant Paul and Lee have been! We struggled to copy our site over from another host due to the size of the database - Lee have been really helpful he did it all for us! Not sure you would get this from other Hosting company?!? Seems quick too. Site was Live over the internet within few hours, impressed with their professionalism.

So far so good. Been with them for around 2 months now. Initial issues with setting a few things up, but the support database solved a few issues. Only contacted support once so far but the response was fast, and fixed the issue straight away.I would highly recommend this hosting company for business to personal purposes.

I cant believe i stayed with one of the larger companies for so many years!! I love the fact it feels so personal and they really seem to go out of their way to sort issues out (rather than fobbing you off with excuses!!) Cant praise them enough!! Brilliant hosting company they have their own android and iphone app which makes it on the go to fix things at the backend if you dont have laptop/desktop around!!!

Signed up with PBP after seeing some of the reviews on here. Don't have any problem and Cant complain at all. Installed Wordpress via their control panel, took literally 2 minutes in whole setup. Control panel is very easy to use and the support database has answers to most things related to common issues. Not had an issue to contact support so cant comment on that yet. So far so good no downtime yet.

Up and down, up and down. For months. I wish my site would work more often and I wish the server status page would work as well, that would be helpful. They are fast to reply to support tickets, and problems are generally quickly fixed but it all happens again within a month. Tedious and annoying and I'm now here, fed up with it all, writing about my experience and looking for a new host. Fine if you're hosting a small site or blog with three daily visitors, other than that don't bother.

I dont normally write reviews but thought these lads deserved one from me with all the help they have given me over the last couple of months. At times I must have come across as a right thicko but they have really taken the time out to explain things to me in simple terms. I cant speak from a technical level but if you are a novice, these guys will help you all the way - Something the bigger companies seem to have forgotten!! Keep up the good work lads!
written by Tugar on 05/07/2012
I'm really impressed by their great customer support , they was super friendly and helpful as I was a total newbie when I bought their plan. I can't really talk about technical stuff but everything looks stable and fast and their price is very affordable.
