Who says you get nothing for free?

My ISP was recently taken over by a bigger 'fish', who have now told me that they are removing my free webspace as it doesn't fit in with their bigger plan... I therefore had a quick look online for a free hosting for my small, personal website, not expecting to find anything... To my surprise, I found what I was looking for straight away at 5quidhost.co.uk. Having had a good look at their website and not finding any mention of advertising or any other catches, I thought I had nothing to lose by signing up... I was surprised again, after they setup and activated my hosting within a couple of hours on a Sunday evening. I promptly copied my site over to the new hosting and pointed my domain name servers to it. All was working within another 10 minutes or so and, just over a week later, so far, so good, all is still working. I am aware that this free service has little disk space and minimal bandwidth and is intended to demo what you get with a paid-for hosting, but it was just what I was looking for, and after the honourable way in which they have dealt with me so far, there is a very good chance I will buy a hosting package for one of my bigger projects in the future. Now time to find a free ISP...

Quick, easy, trying their free host for now.

After loads and loads of googling and reading reviews and trying to work out the catch, thought I'd give them a go.

My advice ... DO IT !

do not be put off by the fact you have to register your domain name elsewhere. That bit is easy too, then you just follow the 5 lines of instructions.

I'm happy to pay once I'm bigger than my free allowance (I expect to be!)

Why did I move ? Abysmal service from 34sp.

A friendly UK based company

I have been with 5quid for many years, this year was the first time I had to be in contact with them as most things I could do via the cPanel. I ran out of space (due to switching to a wordpress based site) and they were very helpful in providing help. It was nice to be able to ring the office in Edinburgh (others seem to have no address or telephone number), I left a voicemail and they rang back within half an hour, further mail support was almost instantaneous and very helpful.

Website has not been down, and noticed, in the time I have been here, emails arrive reliably etc.

Thanks guys, Paul.

Amazing

Very helpful responses. Very fast responses, even out of hours. Wouldn't even consider hosting anywhere else.

Great Service!

I really like 5quidhost. I use Hostgator for servers whenever I my site serves the US market, but for the UK or the EU, I much prefer 5quidhost. It's not as automated as Hostgator, but 1 quick email takes care of most everything, just send them the request and pff, it's done.

Great service and easy to use

As a complete novice, I had to set up a website for a personal venture. After looking around at various (ridiculously expensive US based internet website providers) I came across this one. I was sceptical at first and did check reviews. In the end I thought for a few quid I had nothing left to lose. I'm glad I signed up. It was easier than I thought and I am now the proud owner of my own website. I'm not techy but there is plenty of information supplied to you.
I will be renewing my service with the host and recommend as the first step on the internet hosting ladder.

Thanks
Chelle

not enough storage space in free account to fully evaluate

The free storage of 100mb is not really enough to evaluate the service as it runs runs out very quickly.
