Great service if a little pricey.
Kirsty is my contact and I've always had excellent prompt service although it is a little on tghe pricy side but I guess you get what you pay for
Hostworld has maintained Calico's high standard of service
I have been a customer of Calico in Cromarty for around 20 years and they were taken over by Hostworld a couple of years ago so I remained with Hostworld. My contact remains with the former Calico personnel now working under the Hostworld banner. They have always given me an excellent, personal and speedy service and I am sure I will remain with them while this continues.
Hostworld satisfaction
I have been associated with Hostworld for several years and am totally satisfied with the service they provide. Staff respond quickly, providing helpful and informative responses to any queries. The service they provide is efficient, reliable and cost effective.
Efficient and helpful
Exceptional value and total creative freedom
I’ve been running my primary business site with Hostworld.uk for years now and I am a huge fan.
As an artist and independent webmaster, I really value the freedom their cPanel setup gives me to tweak things exactly how I want. Whenever I’ve hit a snag, their support has been top-notch—always quick and helpful.
Their packages are exceptionally good value for money, too. If you’re looking for a reliable, quality, host that doesn’t break the bank or get in your way, these are the people to go with.

20 Years In
Having started with Cali Co UK over 20 years ago as my service provider and, more recently, in their setup as Hostworld, they have consistently offered a terrific service. Nothing runs smoothly in IT all the time. Whenever there has been an issue, they have dealt with it promptly, effectively and in a friendly manner. Thank you, Team.

As a very small charity redesigning our website and changing our hosting arrangement was a frightening prospect. Hostworld staff explained the process sorted out a couple of complications with our transfer and the icing on the cake was the hosting fee which was very reasonable.

I was one of Calico's first customers
I was one of Calico's first customers, and have never had any reason to change my ISP. The support is always quick and excellent even when an issue was my mistake. It's a comfort to know Hostworld are keeping up the tradition. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Historic experience with Hostworld /Cali since 2000
My association with Hostworld began when I signed up for my domain name in 2000 from Cali.co.uk. Cali was purchased by Hostworld in 2023. The service I received from Cali over these 23 years, led by Kirsty Pryer was second to none. The biggest relief I had when Hostworld took over Cali is that Kirsty Pryer is still looking after any queries I have, in the same professional way she has always done. I hope this will continue for many years to come. All credit to Hostworld for ensuring that this sort of service remains the case. I would have no qualms about recommending Hostworld to anyone.
Friendly and helpful.
I have been operating my practice for more than 40 years, and at least 20 of them. My digital presence has been hosted by Hostworld or as it was in the original days, Calico. Staff have always reacted positively and quickly to my requests and held my hand through the difficult times.
personal service from someone I know
personal service from someone I know - I feel safe and supported. Increasingly important as my grasp on these things is looser than it was!
Excellent support staff
This company is excels in the quality of its support staff: they are simply awesome!!!
Good service
Nothing to report in terms of issues with the service but always helpful when I've had any "user" questions
They are responsive
They are responsive, give excellent services. I have been with them for several years, with never a problem.

Hostworld actually have humans you can talk to and a customer service that is not run by BOTs. Not yet anyway. Thats the only reason I am with them. I wanted people I could ask questions of that didnt just give me a pre-scripted speil which sends you in circles. May that long last.
Calico as part of Hostworld
This review is actually for the subsidiary company that Hostworld bought over a couple of years ago and still run with the same staff. Calico. I have contacted them many times over the nearly 20 years for technical support issues and they have responded within 24hrs every time, with solutions, more information and everything I want.
Great Company To Do Business With
Anytime I've had a question Hostworld is quick to respond and very helpful. I've been with them since 2009 and I'm very please with their service.
