Have used before - always excellent.
quick transfer, good interface
Had no problem transfering my domain and quickly set up what I wanted from the control panel. Good help files 1
HoOOoWWw do they do it
I'd never had a hiccup-free host experience before, but these guys have (somehow) managed it - and for free!! Will be upgrading as soon as I need the space, and recommending to anyone who asks.
Years of great service
I've had an account with this company for years now and never had any problems.
Even there free service is better than most companys paid services so is a no brainer really.
Yes very good from all of us at 365drills.com
Yes I own 365drills.com and we used them to get a small domain up and running (its called stickitdown.com) to try and sell some red tags that we use for seurity of our own stock.
Did not want to splash too much cash. Its a punt. And an easy site.
So these are ideal. We pay a £1 a month (£12 a year) so its beer money.
Hope we make our first sale soon.
Perfect hosting
Having been moaning about the cost for hosting renewal, I discovered 5QuidHost.
FREE! it had to be too good to be true didnt it?..... no! these guys know what they are doing and helped at every stage of the process of moving off of Namesco (very expensive - for what we used the host for) to 5QuidHost.
help and support (via email) is super!
5quidhost
You can't ask anything more from these guys.
Top-notch service. although Q&A or tech support is lacking some features but well, as long as the server is up and running. I'd never complain.
Outstanding Service.
I can wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend 5quid Hosting to everybody. Even though my husband has the annoying habit of calling them 'Squid' hosting. You have to laugh.
Fast, friendly and efficient whenever I have to ask for help. I need help because I am not technical.
My website is always up and running - I have experienced no down time at all.
No sweat. If only the rest of the Internet chain was this painless.
As a serial customer, I just keep coming back to 5quidhost for more. I haven't had ANY problems, just a hosting and forwarding service that works. Impressively resourceful customer help too. Thanks, team. . .
Excellent service and pricing.
I am currently using the free hosting option and it had been excellent for me. No downtime, great interface, great speed. I will upgrade to the £5 pcm option as soon as I get off this zero hour contract.
What more could you want?
I was looking for an inexpensive Mailman provider for a local club and stumbled across 5quidhost; how lucky was that? The answer is very, very lucky. My account was setup within 10 minutes and they even gave access to the Mailman server that I required virtually instantly. I would not hesitate to use 5quidhost for any future host provider requirements. In short excellent service, excellent support, just really damn good.
Brilliant - i didn't think it could be that easy to get up and running.
I don't normally leave reviews but this service from 5quidhost was great. I got the Free hosting service and I will definitively be trying the other services on the experience I had.
Great service so far, for free!
I haven't used the company for long, but so far it seems stable and straight forward.
Very easy to set up
Set up free webhosting - very easy to do so. Clear instructions on transferring domain. Would recommend it.
Easy and reliable
Can't really shake a stick at free - the setup was easy and I deployed my site without issue.
Excellent service at a good price
Very well-priced hosting, and seems to be holding up well since I started using it a week ago. I had to contact the support team to set up wildcard DNS on one of my domains, and they did this very quickly and with no hassle. I'd highly recommend the service.
great
Managed to purchase and get a website up and running from my phone. Haven't had any problems or downtime.
Does what it says on the tin!
To date I have only used the free hosting but so far my experience of 5quidhost has been excellent. Refreshingly clear and uncomplicated, I would anticipate using them for future services.
