I moved all my services to SnappyHost after a terrible experience with UK2. I can't fault them: great service, very reliable, good prices. Highly recommended.

Stuck on something specific?

A guide is fine. A real person is faster.

If you are mid-problem and want an answer rather than a read, just ask us. A UK engineer will reply, usually within the hour, and tell you straight what to do, even when the answer is not "buy our hosting".
