What do you like best about Fasthosts?

The interface is very well designed. It's uncluttered and very intuitive to navigate. I can always get to where I need to be or find the information I require without any problems. I use it for all aspects of wesite management: from researching and securing domains to hosting my own sites and those of my customers (I have just launched a website design business).

There are sometimes techincal questions or issues that I cant resolve myself. On these occasions I have found the support pages and email/messaging support to be very prompt and helpful.

I've not experienced any issues with server downtime so far and I've been with FastHosts for many years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fasthosts?

The interface for FTP works well but the design is rather basic, and the default font size may well be too small for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fasthosts solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fasthosts provides me with professional level domain and hosting services in a variety of packages. It apppeals to me that I see clearly how to meet my need now and what options exist for me in the future as my business ideas evolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fasthosts?

The special offers for .co.uk and .uk domains are very good. You can register the first year for just a pound but keep in mind that you will pay full price for the 2nd year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fasthosts?

Renewal prices could be more competitive. I also had a problem re: the payment of VAT which I could never sort out with their sales dept despite never coming across the issue with other UK registrars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fasthosts solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cheap UK domain registration. Even with full price renewal if you divide by 2 then you are getting a good deal. They also offer the opportunity to register domains with numerous extensions in the hundreds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
