"Had a vps from these guys a year ago. The service was fantastic and very fast response times from support. Came back yesterday for another windows VPS, and guess what!!!! Its even better now. The vps was up and running in under 10 minutes. Opened a ticket with them regarding upgrading the server, it was done within an hour. Its been absolute pleasure dealing with these guys. "
"Most VPS hosting service sign ups are long and require so many identity verification steps that take forever but not here. The service was delivered almost instantaneously. I did run into an issue with RDP ports while manually changing a setting to secure my login but as soon as I reached out to support, it was resolved . I was really impressed by the turnaround time of their support, not to mention their pricing is very affordable. Recommended 10/10"
"I'm an accidental page speed expert. It's become a weird hobby. There are many factors involved but a hosting with a really fast network helps. I've tested a handful of hosting companies (two had "fast" in their company name!) and they were not as quick as this. The hostworld network is blazing fast. My homepage has 4 images and pingdom tools speed test has it loading in less than a fifth of a second. Been using since black friday 2022, will be renewing."
"I joined them in November 2021 after my previous budget hosting company folded. I continue to be very impressed with the quality and responsiveness of their support. Migration to a new server caused a hiccup with a php installation within my website and the problem was resolved speedily when I raised it."
"I've been with this company for many years, when it was Ezee and then Hostworld. On every occasion that I've needed technical or general support they've responded very quickly and always resolved the issue in question. They conduct themselves in a friendly and helpful manner and it gives peace of mind that the website is in good hands."
"For your UK-specific needs, you can get service without hesitation, and most importantly, it is a company with 24/7 accessibility and solution support points; I have been receiving service for two years, although the support team is tired of me now 🙂 I am satisfied with Hostworlduk, and I recommend it. Worth every penny "
