Easy Space Review

Starter Plus

Shared Web Hosting

£3.99

Don't go there. Renewals prices are way higher then most and you have pay £3 per domain to stop them auto-renewing. Control panel is awful and the new one is no better - the same awful facilities with a new look that is just as slow and doesn't even let you get a list of your domains on screen (as far as I can see). Managing DNS is a real pain and if you move name servers elsewhere it's impossible to move them back without loss of service. Transfering away is the one bit that seems to work OK (thankfully) and can be done free except for .uk domains. Cheaper doing these in bulk via Nominet.

I have used Easyspace for many years for my personal email and web hosting without any dramas.
So, when I was starting a new business venture, it seemed to be a good choice for our domain registration, web hosting and exchange hosting.
It took 2 weeks just for them to get Exchange up and running for us. Firstly I was told to wait for DNS propagation - when this did not make it work after 3-4 days, they looked into it a little further. The MX records were wrong (and they said I must have changed something on them - I did not even know what MX records were at that point, let alone how to change them!). So they changed them and said wait another couple of days for propagation. Still no joy. So, now they admitted something had gone wrong on the setup of our job on their backend server.
They were working on it - give them 24 hours and it would all be solved. Cue days of emailing them and being told that it was with their senior developer being resolved. Eventually, 15 days later, I had Email - great! So, then i wanted to upload a temporary webpage - but, once again, they'd set things up wrong - they'd not assigned any disk quota to my domain. Thankfully that was resolved in only 3 days.
So, then things worked well for a few weeks. But now, i have totally lost email again. They've done something to the server to allow people on hotmail to email any exchange boxes they have (there seems to have been a problem there) and they've stopped ALL email working. Emails now bounce back to the recipients. I can send Email though. Yesterday they said it was resolved and that things would be up and running today. Today, they say that the MX record update did not go live and they hope it will back up and running tomorrow. So, I am trying to run a new business and, so far, out of 8 weeks of having this domain, I have had 17 days of Email outage! Pathetic.
They are always helpful on the tech support and tell you it is being sorted. I genuinely think that they do not have the skillsets for the Exchange side of things.

EasySpace, does what it says on the tin, they offer a cheap easy way to get your site online with little or no knowledge of web design, their deals all come with a free domain name and are all available on Windows or Unix and offer packages ranging from their Starter Plus right up to comprehensive Managed Multi-server Hosting and at the time of writing are offering 15% off their Virtual Private Servers.

Easy Space provide a great way to get on to the web, with fast connection speeds (0.36s for a page size of 250kb), and a wide range of packages to suit each type of user including a great Pick n Mix option which means you only pay for those features you need.

Visit EasySpace Web Hosting

Control Panel, users use the EasySpace Service Centre, a stripped down control panel featuring only the necessary fuctions required to manage your site, great for those new to web design but somewhat lacking for more advanced users.

Support, EasySpace packages all feature 24/7 phone support plus the added bonus of online Live Chat help, Video Tutorials and a usefull Customer Forum where you can chat to other users who will no doubt hve been in your position at some point or another.

Bandwidth, EasySpace makes no promises it can’t keep about Bandwidth but with it’s cheapest option coming with 15GB you should have plenty to be getting on with.

Up Time, EasySpace maintains a 99.9% up time, about as good as it gets and is in part due to their Apache Servers.

E-Commerce, EasySpace offer a Dedicated SSL as an optional upgrade to their Business Package.

In conclusion, EasySpace have got something for everyone, with price and reliability on their side including some great tid bits thrown in such as £155 worth of free ad marketing vouchers from the likes of Google and Yahoo.

Business
6GB Storage, 20GB Bandwidth £7.99
