Support
Instant Technical Live Support: No
Names.co.uk is accessible via email and phone. There is no live chat, but they provide a wide range of articles covering topics related to their services.
At the first glance, there seems to be something rotten in the state of Names.co.uk, since the only positive feedback they received is limited to the one found on TrustPilot. Many sources are full of negative reviews, in which users claim it takes Names.co.uk several days to reply to tickets, domains are held hostages, and pricing is not transparent.
Yet, we are not sure that such feedback is altogether reliable. We have no personal experience with the provider, however, our monitoring data speaks for it.
Names.co.uk Summary Review by HRank
Our data on this provider, however, makes us doubt pretty strongly the authentic nature of the aforementioned feedback. Here is why. For all we have to say, this provider is always in out TOP10 rating.
The provider’s response time was in the average range of 600ms – 700ms, not the fastest but very stable.
The bad news: Names.co.uk is losing its domains and has a decreasing trend.
Though the provider appeared in our top 10 list and we are sure many website owners can benefit from trying this web hosting.
Names.co.uk is on our recommendation list.
