Over the past 3 years we have had nothing but problem with EUK host. They use fake english names and consist of only 4 support members which are rotated. They have messed up the settings on our servers and have caused problems everytime we have asked them to do something. I have never been so appauled and disapointed by any company !! AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE UNLESS YOU LIKE LOSING MONEY AND BUSINESS !!

If i could rate no stars at all, i would.

Truly awful company to work with. They claim uk support but their English is broken and lacks understanding much like the out sourced Indian support at Bt and my bank use.

I had a semi managed account for my online shop. They had a server failure and claimed they were restoring backups, few days passed and nothing. They them admitted they didn’t have backups and thee was nothing they could do despite misselling on their website.

Was reported to trading standards but they were not able to get response.

After paying a premium for hosting each month to get away from reliability issue of normal hosting, they left me up **** creek without a paddle.

Buyer beware - Avoid!

EUKHOST - ISP Review

Beware this ISP company - in fact don’t use them at all

We have 3 servers with them . A Windows dedicated server in the USA, a Windows dedicated server in the UK and a Linux dedicated server.

The EUKHOST Windows UK server acts as a database server for the sites on all the other servers.

We had the Unix server on the same rack, behind the same switch, as the database server to get a faster connection using a local network IP address.

Ended up with loads of “timeouts” the Unix box continually failed to connect to the database server - even though it was only one hop away.

What a joke EUKHOST is - they even started to ignore emails and deadlines for fixing the problem

I guess they have never heard of network monitoring.

Also be aware they do not protect EUKHOST dedicated IP’s.

If they give you a dedicated IP some clown at another registrar can point his site A records at your IP address. That’s after they hack your htacess to divert all your traffic to their sites

EUKHOST knew of the issue in February - as it’s on their forums .

Action taken by EUKHOSTS - nothing - so we had exactly the same problem in March ! Discovered it in April as the hacked htaccess file was hacked incorrectly.

We asked for a new dedicated IP address - guess what they gave us the same one again ! Another day getting a proper new set. Result: hours and hours of site downtime.

How much has all this cost us ? thousands of pounds in lost revenue, thousands of potential customers, hundreds of Google positions lost, hundreds of hours of management and tech team time, loads of site and page unreachable errors on Google Webmaster tools.

Now you may be thinking, ahh bad coding, nope, when we had the site on a Unix box with another ISP in Germany - no problems connecting to the EUKHOST database server then.

The final straw was when they said the MD will call me in the morning - guess what he didn’t
