eUKhost Reviews on Hosting Plans and Services

A look at the hosting plans as well as the domain services offered will help us know what makes the company likable among so many people, as well as what make them have such great positive reviews.

eUKhost Reviews on Linux Shared Hosting Plan

This hosting plan is suitable for individuals as well as professionals who wish to have their blogs, forums and websites hosted. The cPanel is included here to make your hosting account manageable. The plan comes in three packages:

Basic – Goes for £3.33 per month, which is inclusive of VAT. It features an unmetered data bandwidth, Dell PowerEdge Hardware, 2GB (UK) disk space and 10 MySQL databases.

Intermediate – Goes for £4.99 per month inclusive of VAT. It features 30 MySQL databases, an unmetered data bandwidth, Dell PowerEdge Hardware as well as a 10 GB (UK) disk space.

Advanced – Goes for £6.66 per month inclusive of VAT. It features an unlimited number of MySQL databases, 20 GB (UK) disk space, an unmetered data bandwidth as well as the Dell PowerEdge Hardware.

If you buy any of these cPanel packages for a year, or for every other year (biennial), you will be given a free domain name.

eUKhost Reviews on Windows Shared Hosting Plan

The Windows shared hosting plans are also offered, similar to the Linux shared hosting plan. The prices are almost the same. The only differences are the number of the domain, the size of the disk space, and price of Advanced plan. Besides, Plesk panel is included instead of the cPanel.

eUKhost Reviews on Business Hosting Plan

eUKhost offers the Business hosting plan to businesses that need a robust hosting plan. Not to say that the hosting plans are robust, this plan also guarantees its clients a 100% uptime. Does this sound too good to be true? Well, the company has SLA to back this up. What is SLA, you may ask. 

It is a Service Level Agreement document to check should the host fail to make its promises, some penalties will come with it. This plan comes in two packages:

Linux (£16.66 per month exclusive of VAT) – It features a 5GB (UK) disk space, monthly bandwidths of 100GB, 10 parked domains, 5 add-on domains, and cPanel hosting.

Windows (£16.66 per month exclusive of VAT) – It has features that are similar to those in Linux, except the Plesk Panel is used instead of the cPanel.

eUKhost Reviews on Linux VPS Hosting

The VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting is offered in four packages: Starter, Standard, Professional, and Enterprise. All these packages share the same features but differ in pricing and size. The features include SSD storage and a free Plesk Web Admin. The Starter plan goes for £12.99 while the Enterprise plan goes for £33.99 per month, exclusive of VAT.

eUKhost Reviews on Windows VPS Hosting

Windows VPS hosting also comes in four packages similar to those of the Linux VPS Hosting. The Starter Plan goes for £15.99, and the Enterprise goes for £36.99 per month, exclusive of VAT.

eUKhost Reviews on Cloud Hosting Plan

Backed by 100% SLA and 24/7 live support, the cloud hosting plan is offered through VMware or Hyper-V. When you log on to their site, you will need to choose the kind of operating system you wish to work on, control panel, remote backup size, and a monitoring plan.

The company boasts of offering great features for their cloud customers like disaster recovery, super fast storage, leading Firewalls as well as reliable solutions for backup.

eUKhost Reviews on eNLight Cloud Hosting Plan

How is the eNlight cloud hosting differs from the cloud hosting plan mentioned above? Well, it takes reliability and uptime to a whole new level. The plan uses a cluster of servers connected to a storage device (remote), with the data stripped down to multiple of these devices, thus ensuring redundancy.

You can order either the Linux version or the loud for cluster version, which all come at different prices, depending on the features given.

eUKhost Reviews on Dedicated Hosting Plan

eUKhost dedicated hosting is for those who wish to have their servers managed, and give them a level of peace. The plans offered come in two major categories; those offered under HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and those offered under SSD (Solid State Drive). Servers that are included in the dedicated hosting plan are eUK E3, eUK E5, and eUK E5 St servers.

Plans are then packaged into the Standard, Professional, and Enterprise plans.

eUKhost Reviews on Linux Reseller Hosting Plan

Under eUKhost reseller plan, you are promised a 30-day money back guarantee. The plans are packaged into Basic (£ 9.99 per month, exclusive of VAT), Premium (£14.99 per month VAT exclusive) and Supreme (£24.99 per month VAT exclusive). All these plans share the same features that include sufficient disk space, unlimited domains, high bandwidth and Dell PowerEdge Hardware that will vary in size depending on the chosen plan.

eUKhost Reviews on Windows Reseller Hosting Plan

eUKhost Windows-based reseller hosting plan’s prices are similar to those of the Linux reseller hosting plan. The differences are the features that can only be supported in the Windows environment, such as the Plesk control panel, and the SQL Server.

eUKhost Reviews on Domain Services

You can purchase a domain name starting from £5,83 per year. Some of the top featured domain name extensions include .com, .net, .org, .London, .business as well as .solutions.

eUKhost Website Builder

You can also build websites easily with their website builder. They provide an interface that is fully responsive on any computer device, be it mobile or stationery, as well as an easy layout for you without involving any computer coding. You can sign up for free and start building your website. Besides, you can also use the RV Site Builder that is ready in the cPanel.

eUKhost SSL Certificates

Any company or online store that handles client information will need to have an SSL certificate. This safeguards their client’s details. You cannot successfully run an online business without an SSL certificate.

SSL Package: Alpha SSL (£29.00 pa), Domain SSL (£59.00 pa), Org SSL (£89.00 pa) and Ext SSL (£320 pa). They feature 2048 bit encryption as well as a standard browser padlock. The Ext plan will get a green bar browser padlock.

eUKhost Reviews on WordPress Hosting

It’s now perhaps a well-known fact that WordPress sites make up a bulk of the websites available online. Therefore, almost all web hosting companies make an effort to offer support for WordPress. eUKhost has pre-installed WordPress. There are thousands of professional themes to choose from, which can help to customize your blog site.

The company has set aside a separate server to serve the WordPress sites only, under its optimized WordPress hosting plans. It also features some pre-installed plugins that are popularly used with WordPress. With these features, I can say eUKhost is good for WordPress.

eUKhost Reviews on Support and Customer Service

eUKhost offers 24/7 support to its clients, through their sales executives and senior technicians. These people work in shifts so that the customer service is available 24/7. If you need help, you can contact the team through telephone, live chat, and email. A look at other eUKhost reviews shows that the company’s support is superb.

For your information, another web hosting service provider that is serving excellent customer support is SiteGround.

#Trial 1 Prodigious Live Chat Support

I have heard a lot about the prodigious and quick customer service of eUKhost especially live chat support. So I decided to test their online live chat. I contacted their support personnel by filling up my information and entered into their chat box. Within 05.44 seconds their representative sent me the text.

eUKhost Reviews on Uptime Performance and Server Status

Uptime Stats

Uptime is very crucial to all websites as this will determine whether their sites are accessible. eUKhost has promised a 100% uptime with some of its hosting plans, which is backed by an SLA. However, based on my personal record of their uptime performance, they are not really performing well recently.

eUKhost’s server speed is relatively fast, especially those powered by SSD. It can, therefore, be said that the company is reliable when it comes to speed. There are only a few complaints on the speed upon looking at some of the eUKhost reviews provided online. The online status of eUKhost servers is currently active, at the time of writing this review.

Uptime Stats – Target: 99.90%

July 2017 – 99.74%

June 2017 – 99.62%

May 2017 – 99.43%

April 2017 – 99.56%

March 2017 – 99.70%

February 2017 – 98.98%

January 2017 – 98.95%

December 2016 – 99.20%

November 2016 – 100%

October 2016 – 99.66%

eUKhost claims to provide 99.95% uptime SLA to their all customers. I was not sure about their uptime performance so I decided to check their uptime stats performance for past 10 months including July as well. I got a disappointing result from this hosting company as only one month shows 100% uptime stats and other 9 months did not achieve the target.

Overall average of eUKhost was 99.48% which is below their uptime target. If this company wants to increase their clientage then they should have to improve their uptime performance.

Server Response Speed Test

When it comes to hosting server speed, then the customer has to think a lot. Because server speed really plays an important role. Same like eUKhost company promises to provide a speedy server speed so I decided to check whether their company’s claim is true. I pinged a website hosted on their server through 8 different locations.

I got a better server response speed as shown in the picture below. Overall rating of server speed test is A. The server speed is good for both e-commerce and blogging websites. Besides, this company also offers CloudFlare CDN (Content Delivery Network) which helps in speeding up your site.

Good and Bad of eUKhost

Good

• Free domain.
• Customer support is excellent.
• Bandwidth is unlimited.
• Easy to use.
• Well laid out hosting plans that are easy to understand.

Bad

• Marketing tools offered are very minimal.
• Poor uptime performance
• No free SSL for shared hosting plan

Summary of eUKhost

Well, a look at what it offers in web hosting shows that much of the services are similar to other web hosting companies. The pricing is fair, the customer support is good, and the speeds are also great. However, they need to improve their uptime performance.

One might argue that the shared servers are crowded or oversold. This might thus lead us to wonder whether the small sites get the value they paid for. Overall, the company offers great web hosting services.

What makes eUKhost differ from the other web hosting companies?

They are working hard to keep up with new emerging technologies, which is a very positive aspect. As a conclusion, if you are looking for a UK-based web hosting service provider, you can consider eUKHost.
