The eUKhost is one of the topmost providers in the UK. eUKhost provides an excellent 24/7 customer support service that really impressed me. Not only can you contact eUKhost via live chat, phone, and tickets, but there’s almost no wait time at all for live chat.
eUKhost can give you faster speeds and more UK-based server locations, which can provide better loading speeds for visitors based farther north in the country.
Managed WordPress hosting is where eUKhost excels, with a specialized WordPress toolkit to deliver faster speeds. It also offers cPanel (shared) hosting, business hosting with a 100% uptime SLA, Windows hosting, VPS hosting, cloud servers, and dedicated hosting.
Shared Hosting
eUKhost provides three shared web hosting plans. These three packages are simply named Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced.
The cheapest plan is called the Basic plan and costs GBP 3.33 per month. They offer three payment terms, semi-annual (6 months), annual (12 months), and biennial (24 months). Annual and biennial payment terms do not have lower prices. Every payment term costs GBP 3.33 per month. You can be signing up with the cheapest plan, you have to pay a minimum of 6 months which costs a total of GBP 19.98.
If you pay a minimum of 12 months, you are given a free domain name with the following extensions, .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .co.UK, .org.UK, .me.UK and .eu. This comes in handy if you want to save extra cash. Also, if you are just starting out, you don’t have to pay extra for the domain name registration of your new website.
You are given 2GB worth of storage space with the Basic plan. This means you can only store a total worth of 2GB of data on your website. This is enough if you’re planning to build a small business website or a personal blog, but might become an issue if you want to store lots of images (like photographers might need), or start an e-commerce store with lots of products.
You can have an unlimited number of domains and subdomains in your hosting account. This means you can have multiple websites hosted under one account. This is very handy if you have a lot of websites you want to manage.
WordPress Hosting
They also offer WordPress blog hosting plans. The return of unmetered bandwidth is more than welcome, but you also get hosting for unlimited blogs and email accounts plus 50GB of disk space for 3.99 a month.
The WordPress Toolkit includes:
- A simple multi-site manager
- 30-second WordPress installation
- Automatic security patching
- Staging (so you can test updates to your website before making them live)
- Clone and sync (to create exact copies of your WordPress website to use with staging)
- Plugin and theme manager
- Maintenance mode tool
Virtual Private Server
VPS hosting is also offered for Windows and Linux operating systems. Both of these basic options exclude VAT, though most of the plans(starting at 15.59/m)include free SSL certification and administrative tools.
Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated servers are built for businesses from the ground up and provide extra security and performance for high-traffic websites.
These are much pricier, starting at 98.40/m, but offer high-performance servers with the best hardware and 4-10 CPU threads depending on your payment plan. An additional optional hardware firewall is available for purchase.
Reseller Hosting
eUKhost provides reseller hosting powered by Plesk. This is for Windows only and they come with what you need to launch your own hosting plans for entrepreneurs or your clients. Plans start at 11.99 a month.
Free Managed Migration
You can easily move it over to your eUKhost account. You can use the migration manager tool in your hosting control panel. All eUKhost’s WordPress plans are automatically allocated to servers that have been configured specifically for WordPress.
Server optimization features include NGINX, a caching engine, the most recent (and stable) version of PHP7, and HTTP/2, all of which work to make your web pages load faster.
Free Domain
If you register for 12 months or more, you get a free domain with a selection of multiple extensions. This comes in handy for first-timers who are just starting their own website. You don’t need to pay extra for the domain name you are just about to try out.
Speed
When it comes to speed, eUKhost’s main website could certainly do better. It takes a whopping 10.9 seconds to fully load, whereas the average on GTmetrix is 7.9 seconds and at 1.65 MB, it’s even almost half the size of the average website at 3.06 MB.
Support
With multiple options such as telephone, online live chat, and forum support, among others, you are sure that you can get your questions answered immediately. Besides, they have a Service Status page stating the current status of their services.
