What do our customers think?

Excellent service so far, a provider you will want to stick with.
I've been with hostworld for just over 3 months as I was looking for a reliable UK unmanaged KVM VPS provider that offered unmetered bandwidth and decent hardware for a fair price. So far hostworld has been consistently good. I have not run into any problems with the service. As far as their support goes, their support so far has been excellent. The two times I have opened a ticket (only for RDNS changes) they have been answered and resolved quickly.

I would definitely recommend hostworld to individuals looking for stable and affordable services that include a friendly support team that truly cares.

I am very happy
I am very happy with the service I have received from Hostworld so far.
Support has been great, they seem to go out of their way to fix issues and in my case they installed an OS they do not use. The server itself preforms very well, no slow downs so far I have no complaints.
I would recommend them to anyone.

Great support, reliable service
Great support and very attentive. I'm their customer for about a month now and I didn't face any issue so far. Their VPS are fast, stable and affordable. I would definitely recommend hostworld.

Second to none
Super friendly, knowledgeable - anything, anytime, nothing is too much for them and they will happily do the best they can to cater to your needs. I found them whilst looking to expand the locations I offer on an existing business where uptime, speed and reliability is a must and has to be second to none. I am happy to say that hostworld ticks all the boxes.

I joined hostworld 3 months ago and I can see myself becoming a life long customer.

Amazing and friendly support
Amazing and friendly support! Honestly after being on this business since 2012 I have never encountered such an honest, helpful and understanding team of people, coupled with a fantastic service with even greater price!

Thank you very much for everything.

    Hey. Thanks for pointing that out! The thread was typed earlier today. Due to currency fluctuations the second plan we had offered above has been removed. We'll re add it if it falls below the $7 per month.

    Cheers :)

    As I've said above the thread was typed earlier today. I was in the process of changing the thread and noticed you had come back to me. Everything has been rectified now. Again, thanks for pointing that out - appreciate your help!

  • Hey @hostworld just wondering about the backup storage. How does it work?

  • hostworldhostworld Member, Host Rep
    edited April 2020

    @LeonDynamic Hello! Thanks for the message. Included with every VPS package is weekly backups (stored on a separate backup server), of which 3 weekly backups are retained for free. The backup storage is used for that. The backup storage is upgradeable to daily backups, of which then 5 daily backups are retained. Hope that makes sense.

    Thank you to all that have ordered with us so far, it’s great to have you onboard!

    We’ve seen a few orders which have been rejected due to being connected to a VPN. Please ensure the VPN is switched off before placing an order otherwise our automated systems will reject the order. If you have any issues let us know :smile:

    Brexit is tearing apart your kingdom and you are rejecting people based on where they come from. Cool!

    We aren’t rejecting orders based on location. We accept orders and currently host people from all over the world, there are no restrictions as to where we accept orders from.

    All we ask if that people don’t use a VPN when they’re ordering as the automated fraud prevention systems mark the order as high risk. VPN’s are linked to fraud in many cases, and anyone using a VPN for non-fraudulent reasons should have no issue disconnecting from a VPN for a matter of seconds.

    We actually work with people if they’re unable to disconnect a VPN and ask them contact us via the customer portal if they’re having any issues.

    Hope this clarifies things.

    Just turn off the VPN, easy.

    @TarZZ92 Thanks for the message. Windows can be installed yes and the templates are available, we just don’t offer the licensing for it so it will be an evaluation version unless licensed.

    If you do decide to come onboard if you order your VPS with any Linux OS initially, we’ll then give you access to the Windows templates.

  • I Signed up. could you give me access to the windows template?

    Brill! Glad to have you on board. I believe Tony has responded to you via the ticket already :).

    Well, you are not giving good users a lot of chance to turn around that fraud/non-fraud ratio, are you?

    Despite being an outsider (not one of the rejected customers), my comment and the level of attached emotion was targeting the specific statement: that you really decide to reject orders solely based on the connecting IP address. Sorry, but this type of permanent filtering sounds eerily similar to the horrific situation in some countries.

    We work with customers who are unable to disconnect from a VPN and urge them to contact us if the order is rejected based on the automated system. They may be unable to disconnect due to the country they’re in and the restrictions in place, and we understand that. We’ve also had customers order with us who aren’t able to disconnect due to it being business related - so yes, we are giving customers the chance to order with us who use a VPN. We aren’t going to turn genuine customers away.

    The automated security systems we have in place are to protect our network and also other customers using our network. We’re not the only company who has these automated systems in place, there are hundreds if not thousands of others with the same system.

    So you are a user that gets declined then, because you wouldn't be complaining.
    Almost every host with some sense has a auto fraud system that blocks VPN's.

    Shall I go any further?
