Follow Up On Hosts

So I have done some further research. As mention before I need the host to support three sites and I did not mention but all the prices include VAT.

First: is fasthosts with their Momentum plan at £7.00 pm.

Second: 1&1 Managed WP Plus  at £3.99 for 12 month and

Third: OVH.co.uk Web Host Performance plan £8.34 pm.

Forth: EUKhost WordPress Blog Hosting Starter plan at £3.99.

Fifth: A2Hosting WordPress Shared Host Swift Plan At £3.91pm. They have a load of tech to make website run quicker and smother. 

Sixth: Vidahost Cloud Hosting Medium plan at £7.19pm. Another part of the Gestalt Entity of HEG via Paragon Internet Group. Have a TrustPilot rating of 9. Good local support option.

All of them have good reviews. But then I suppose you can fudge that is your favour. Speaking of which I was looking in to A2hosting and trying to locate the nebulous source of ‘A2Hosting averaged 5 / 5 in 6674 reviews’¹ all I could find was link to ReviewInc which is an online review management web service. If you need brand management I start to worry. On TrustPilot they have 14 reviews with an average of 4.4. That in and of it self is not an issue as only people who are really annoyed with service will to that great length of visiting an online review service but the thousands of others who find it acceptable will keep quiet.

My Short list is

1. WHUK. High Trustpilot score(9/10), local (uk phone support)
2. TSOHost. They got the only the only vote when I asked on twitter, local (uk phone support) and a high Trustpilot score(9.3/10).
3. Vidahost. High Trustpilot score(9/10), local (uk phone support²) and anecdotally  recommended on Readdit.
4. A2Host. They have shed load of technology. Also use CloudFlare and their Railgun CDN.

Will update on my decision but I not rushing it.

1. Cause you could have ten thousand other reviews that rated you from one to four.
