EUKhost.com review

First impression

Eukhost.com was founded in 2001 by Robert King whilst in his teens, and to this day he still serves as the Managing Director. Hailing from Leeds, this company is one of the pioneers of fully automated web hosting solutions in the UK offering Shared Hosting, Cloud Hosting, VPS Hosting, and Dedicated Server Hosting. Their business is primarily focused on the UK & EU markets, and they have racked up an impressive customer base of over 35, 000 customers over their 21-year reign. They offer a diverse and constantly-evolving portfolio of web hosting solutions.

Their servers, all of which are based within Tier IV facilities, rated N+N for network and power, are powered by the highest quality, branded hardware from Intel, Dell, and HP. They are secure and lightning-fast, come with unparalleled customer support and have a 99.99% uptime guarantee.

Their website is straightforward and user-friendly and their sales and support staff are available around the clock to assist with any queries or issues. If you are looking at moving over from another provider, they will migrate your website for you within 24 hours.

Trial Period

Besides their dedicated server and license add-ons, all their hosting packages are covered with a 30-day, hassle-free money-back policy. There is no trial period on offer.

Billing Cycle

When signing up you will have the option to choose between paying monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually, and biennially. Accepted forms of payment are credit or debit cards, PayPal, and Bank Transfers.

All their cPanel Hosting plans (paid annually or biennially) include free domain registration for the first year.

Control Panel

Their shared hosting is Linux based and makes use of CPanel as the control panel. The same goes for Linux VPS hosting whilst their Windows VPS hosting has Plesk. Clients that signed up for Cloud Servers can choose between either one.

Limits

Their VPS & Cloud hosting has 18 packages to choose from, all powered by super-fast NVMe SSD drives, and come standard with Daily Snapshot (for frequent protection measured in minutes or hours). Each option slightly increases the allocated CPU Cores, RAM & Disc Space. Their entry-level option comes with only 35GB of space and 2GB RAM which feels a bit inadequate.

Eukhost offers 3 options to choose from on both CPanel and Dedicated WordPress hosting. CPanel hosting comes packed with features like Unlimited Websites, Unlimited Emails & Unmetered Bandwidth, with the only difference being the amount of allowed SQL databases and SSD storage space.

WordPress hosting is slightly more limited. Their WordPress Starter comes bundled with 5GB SSD space, and 25 IMAP / POP email addresses, and you are limited to 5 WordPress websites, something that will be very hard to achieve given the amount of space allocated. WordPress Standard offers 10GB space, 20 Websites, and 200 Emails whilst the WordPress Pro package boasts 50GB space with unlimited emails & websites.

Security

Only basic security is included free of charge in form of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. Users will have the option to add Imunify360, Acronis Cyber Protect Backup, or Email protection via MIMECAST as an extra layer of security, but these will all cost you extra. Standard daily backups however are included.

OS

All their Shared hosting plans are Linux based but with VPS, Cloud & Dedicated Server hosting you have the option to choose between Linux or Windows.

Support

Their support is outstanding. Eukhost offers fast and complete online technical support around the clock via Live Chat, Phone, Tickets, and Emails. You also won’t be chatting with a bot.
