Excellent for a startup
Affordable hosting with close to no limits on any of the usual options. Very satisfied so far.
Best Hosting!
Great prices and excellent service! Great sense of humour too :-)
The BEST hosting company that I've dealt with
Really great company - quick and easy setup of my account, and a top-featured cost effective service. Excellent support too - even replying to evening enquires!
Set up
Hello, Quick and painless setup of both a free CPanel and WHM hosting account with good software choice. So far so good.
Thanks
Excellent! Easy! Cheap.
Literally just follow the instructions in the joining email.
Register your domain where they recommend.
Then follow their email, install Wordpress (or software of your choice)
Will take you 1 evening to have a full site.
I set up, Wordpress, Woocommerce, and Wooshoplite and had a web store using 5quidhost in 1 evening !
I've tried others. Can fully recommend them. (and do)
Great company to deal with
5 stars: Excellent – no reservations, I would recommend this company to anyone.
Fast and effective service response
I've been using 5QuidHost for a few years and had no issues. I've never noticed any downtime. I emailed a service request recently when my site developed a fault (through no fault of theirs) and they identified the problem, fixed it, and notified me within ten minutes. This was on a Sunday morning.
Simply brilliant
I've used 5quidhost for more than a dozen websites over many years. There are rarely any problems but the response is just terrific if you do encounter any. Always sensible and polite advice even for free web hosting. I would recommend them unreservedly to anyone.
Exceptional Service & Support!!!
I have 6 websites hosted by 5quidhost. Their hosting plans are great value for money, especially given the professional service and support they deliver. Any problems or issues i have, i receive very quick, helpful support, often within the hour. I am a very happy customer! I can't recommend these guys enough!!!
Excellent free service and a joy to use.
The free service is much appreciated by my organisation which is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation. Setting up an account was straighforward and I was up and running in no time at all. Communication from 5quidhost has been friendly and helpful. I am very pleased with their hosting. The c-panel is simplicity itself.
Easy
Fast and easy you just need your own domain, which can be had from GoDaddy for 99p per year!
Best of the best
If you want a no nonsense hosting then you won't find better than 5quidhost. As an amateur dabbling in web presentation I don't know a lot about technicalities of setting up a site but with 5quidhost everything is set up for you.
Excellent Host
I have only used the service for about a week so far, but signed up to their £1 a month upgrade as happy with the service. So far, no slowdowns; service is excellent. I've used other Hosts in the past, 5quidhost is the best in my experiences - I hope it continues.
5quidhost is incredible and I would recommend them to anyone.
After being messed around by another host I made a public post to social media asking for recommendations. 5quidhost came out the clear winner after 5 minutes so I took a look. I didn't believe it, so I signed up for the free package and set it to email me as I exceed the usage. 15 minutes later my site was online, my mailbox set up and there was absolutely no fuss or bother.
5quidhost is incredible and I would recommend them to anyone.
Love 5quidhost
Great customer service and good level of hosting, even better when you consider the price.
Very timely and helpful response, problem solved.
Have logged 2 tickets and both times they were replied to quickly and efficiently and sorted the queries.
5quidhosting
Having used a number of hosting services over the past ten years or so, I can say, hand o heart that 5quid are sound and reliable,
First class so far - for a trivial application.
I am only using 5quidhost as a site for mailing the members of my local drama group so this is hardly a test. However, my very limited experience so far has been excellent.
I only needed the free option. I made a false start using the wrong domain name and it was corrected politely and efficiently within minutes. The facilities seem to be standard cplan. The performance and availability and my brief experience of support have all been fine and the prices look very reasonable.
Assuming the level of service continues I plan to move a couple of websites I look after to 5quid as I want a host that is UK based and low cost.
