UKHost4u.com Thumbnail

Background

Business Name: Host4u Limited

Year of foundation: 2002

Location: Birkirkara, Malta

BBB Accreditation: No

Market Size: > 1.4K websites (#115 in HRank list)

Growth Status: (by websites quantity): Decreasing

UKHost4u.com is a British web hosting company with headquarters in Malta and offices in Maidenhead and Edinburgh. They have been in the industry since 2002 (and even since 1990 if you start counting with Hosting Systems they merged with in 2006), and are a very large company with customers internationally.

They changed their UKHost4u.co.uk name to a more international UKHost4u.com in 2016 and upgraded their design as well. They definitely make the statement about where they belong, and we definitely love playful graphics and general attitude.


Offers and Pricing

Shared Hosting Plans
Name Domains Disk Bandwidth Min Price Billing Term
Basic 1 50 Gb Unlim $2.78 36 Mo
Advanced 5 100 Gb Unlim $5.56 36 Mo
Business 10 Unlim Unlim $8.33 36 Mo

UKHost4u has been in the industry for a long time and it has a lot to offer, for sure. You can choose from low-cost (so to speak ) to more sophisticated business hosting options as well as other product offers (servers, domain names).

Currently, they have 3 shared plans on offer.

In the table above you can see their cheapest prices for plans (per/mo) for the longest period (3 years) in US dollars. You can also pay either monthly or for 1 year if it is more suitable.

They also offer promotional prices from time to time, quite discounted – you can give it a try.

After brief observation of plans we’ve found out that being a British hosting, UKHost4u provides all the price offers on their website in GBP (British Pounds) and charges for them accordingly plus VAT (Value Added Tax).

But clearly, it is not exactly the cheapest shared hosting offer if you have a look at other providers. Yet again, British Pounds, exchange rates and all stuff.


Support

Instant Technical Live Support: No

We had a nice talk with UKHost4u’s live chat, they answer in a flash; good job. Tech support, however, is only ticket-system based.

However, if you prefer more conventional ways of communication, try a phone and e-mail.

Their ticket system is also the first thing you will have to deal with if you are a customer. As for our personal experience, it has always been very positive, they are very deft at problem-solving.
