Fantastic support and hosting

Jordan has been fantastic over the years. He's been very very helpful and I'm glad I set up with smughost. I've had many of sites set up through smughost and even had jordan join a business I work for to offer additional support and the owners have been very pleased since he did. I can't recommend smughost enough. Top class service and I'm delighted my websites have found smughost as their home.

Lets be realistic about Hosting services...

I've placed a review here before, after creating a previous site, and here I am again.
Recently trusted my reputation with Jordan when recommending Smughost to a small charity as the right place to move their site to after the incumbent began charging an outrageous price for very little service.
What convinced me/us?
Quality of support
System up-time/reliability
Price.

Let's consider them.
Support -
I've used Smughost for a few years now, and found the support to be both reliable and knowledgeable. That is - Calls get responses, sometimes amazingly quickly, and every call has had a positive outcome. A previous reviewer said that spammers had corrupted email services for a client. I had the same experience, and it was an absolute pain. May all spammers be kneecapped and slow roasted in hell. But the solution is to work with Smughost, appreciate what they are doing behind the scenes, and weather the issue. Service was soon back to normal. There have been other issues, of course, but all handled expeditiously.

System up-time -
Great. I have a background in 24 hour operation 364 days. (Christmas Day is when the techs run dramatic testing- the only window of opportunity)
Smughost has slowed a couple of times, and a move from one server to another involves a frisson of excitement, but there was no drama. Full marks to Smughost - excellent communication throughout.

Price -
Oh come on people - where else are you going to get this level of service at such a reasonable rate? You have no concept of how IT works if you expect 100% uptime and the backup that that requires at the prices Smughost charges. Constant uptime requires constant attention, and needs constant maintenance of component updates, both hard and soft.

I have just recommended to another existing site that they consider dropping a (big name) host and move to Smughost. The support is better.
Smughost always seems to have an actual interest, and that's worth money.

I'm a very happy customer and full of admiration for the competent and timely way that Smughost accomplished the assimilation of the latest site from elsewhere with the client barely noticing.
That says it all.

Smughost, best in the world!

Jordan, and the team know how to make a client feel like a vip!

They help you out if you have trouble with your site and account. And add options if you need them in your cPanel!

Highly recommended for the startup business, to just a single website

This Is How All Website Hosting Companies Should Be!

I’ve been a website developer / designer for over 25 years at the time of writing this. It’s safe to say I’ve experienced 100’s of different web hosting companies at this stage. Let me make this simple - if you’re looking for awesome web hosting SmugHost should be near the very top of your list.

SmugHost offer all the things you need - high performance, servers which aren’t overloaded, a wide range of services, fair pricing and solid, helpful customer service. They aren’t owned by one of the giant, monopolistic web hosting conglomerates either.

Are they the cheapest? - no they aren’t. Trust me here, that’s a good thing and you do get what you pay for. If building and managing websites for as long as I have has taught me anything, it’s never to compromise (ever!!), on your website’s hosting.

I’m a decent web developer / designer, but even the best website can perform terribly if the hosting isn’t good. If you care at all about your website, using a solid host like SmugHost will help you to get the best from it. Your business or project will thank you for it!

Reliable & Trustable Hosting

Trust me, you will be grateful for choosing smughost.com. I notice them on ebay as I was looking for websites to buy. Comparing to other sellers, their site which I bought was 10/10 in terms of functionality and everything else. I had a hosting plan with Hostinger but it had lots of problem, then I tried smughost.com hosting plan, it superb! What a bargain! If you are into this field, start with their service.

Thank you Smughost!

SmugHost really exceed their duties with support and aftersales care. They have not only done so much for us but have also been of eCommerce educational value. We first registered a domain with hosting from SmugHost during December 2019 - our websites are highly active with daily visitors. From 2008 until we found SmugHost we found web hosts would always corrupt our sites or accounts for excessive use of bandwidth. We now have 6 websites with SmugHost which between them attract up to 10,000 daily visitors. SmugHost are friendly, supportive, tolerant and highly educational. HIGHLY APPROVED from Ste-B2B Promotions

If hosting is important to you, it has to be Smughost.

Smughost have looked after me with all my queries and the few issues I have had. In addition, they have helped to teach me about hosting, security and general maintenance of my accounts. I also find that Smughost goes the extra mile. Their services are reliable, and it is always a pleasure to have them as the trustees of my hosting. My hosting is important to me and over the test of time, Smughost has proven to be the best choice I ever made in choosing a host.

Hello Salento,

I'm very sorry you are unhappy with the service we have provided, we only ever aim to offer the best service.

Unfortunately we do experience these issues from time to time as it is a shared server and sometimes people do abuse the server, we always try to stop the abuse as soon as possible and get them removed from the server, we will constantly be trying to improve this including getting a new plugin to detect these spam emails and blocking the account automatically and stopping the emails being sent in the first place.

We would hope you would have based a 1* review on more than this one issue which we always do our best to resolve fast and are always transparent about. You hadn't based it on or mentioned anything about the server speeds, up-time, support you have received and/ or affordability.

We will continue to do our best to improve our services but we appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in the future.

Thanks

I've worked with BIG systems for…

I've worked with BIG systems for decades, - the things that get your orders delivered over 3 countries or pick your bill out of several million transactions. When I needed to find a reasonable priced, but capable host for a small charity I finally chose Smughost, with some misgivings about security, up time, support, and the rest.

After several months with them I have been very impressed with their attitude, the available support, and the consistently good services on offer. The palette of tools and scripts they offer is huge, and their hosting packages are rich with features, capability, and scalability.

So much so that I'll be moving other sites over to Smughost as they become due for renewal.
