PRODUCT REVIEWS

I have spent about an hour and a half looking on this site for info and had no joy.

What I am looking for is a decent UK based webhosting company.

I have a hostgator account, blue host, etc but they are based mostly in the US.

I have tried 123-reg and 1and1 hosting and found their services to be poor.

I have a specific project that requires UK hosting so can anyone help me out as I dont trust review sites for obvious reasons.

Hi bluetechseo,

I'm UK based - I usually register my domain names with UK2.net - no problems at all with them - they host as well, bit I usually host elsewhere.

Can I ask why UK hosting is important?

Thanks

I use Krystal.co.uk (not an affiliate link) for all my UK based hosting and have done for the last 3 years.

Uptime excellent as is customer service, not the cheapest but equally not the most expensive

The one I use is D9 hosting and I couldn't recommend the enough. They're reliable and their support is second to none.

It all depends what facilities you need but let me tell you this (from someone who knows a little bit about SEO). If you have a .co.uk or .org.uk domain and you wish to optimise your website for the UK audience then best to host in the UK. As you probably know Google is extremely hot on relevance and it all starts with the basics;

a) .co.uk domain
b) Genuine UK host on UK based servers
c) UK IP address
d) UK nameservers (if your domain is registered elsewhere). This can have an impact if your domain is registered with say Go Daddy instead of a UK seller such as 123-Reg

Now finding a good host that satisfies all this is tough. I went through 20-30 of them before I got the right answers from a very good host.

Again, I'm not affiliated in any way.

They run cpanel and a fantastico equivalent so it's dead easy to upload new Wordpress sites.

They also have servers in the US so you could host US specific sites there as well. Or you could run .coms from the UK

This makes a big difference to SEO

There are a lot of crappy resellers out there - here today gone tomorrow. United have been around about as long as hosting has.

Best of luck

Cheers I will give these guys a try.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm sure each of these recommendations are solid as a rock.

I would like you to take a look at 2020Media. The support is awesome...and to be honest, this is probably the most important thing after you ensure they spec out to your liking.

Good luck!,

Dave
