PC Smart Hosting www.pcsmarthosting.com

Having enjoyed a year of good service with excellent support and possibly the best value available in the UK, I am happy to recommend PC Smart Hosting without reservation.

With one notable exception I now confidently host all but one of my 17 websites with this company and expect to expand this as my portfolio grows. Best of all, if I outgrow my present hosting, they are sufficiently flexible as to tailor a package to my needs and my budget.

This company offers monthly contracts (and monthly payments) which makes professional hosting available to anyone, especially in the early stages of a business or even someone who just wants to dabble . They do this with confidence, knowing that anyone unhappy with the service could leave at any time. This inspires confidence and there is a package to suit all purposes and budgets.

I am particularly impressed with the speed of response to service tickets plus the alarming honesty and openness in respect of any (rare) problems arising. Ask a silly question and you won't be made to feel stupid - or blinded with science!

Anyone working with Joomla or Wordpress (all CMS type) websites will find an ideally suitable package and you can upgrade or downgrade at any time as it becomes necessary.

At last a hosting company that responds to its customers.

For anyone who wants affordable, reliable hosting together with excellent support, look no further. I came across PC Smart Hosting last year and have since opened two accounts - one for my social and community hosting and another 'reseller' account for my clients.

As a rough guide to what attracted me, first of all, even the basic cPanel shared hosting account comes with 3GB of disk space together with a massive 50GB bandwidth, 5 addon domains, unlimited MySQL databases, email accounts and FTP accounts.

The icing on the cake is that all this will cost you a mere £3 a month and you can actually pay monthly! You can upgrade at any time with no fuss and if you want to change or close your account, there are no penalties. Why it doesn't show at the top of the list beats me but maybe...
