Heart Internet Reviews

I had a Heart Internet reseller account for three years. At first they were fairly good but I think they were overselling, the server speed got slower and slower.

To have your own namedservers they charge £100, this is a free service I offer my clients now. They over price all of their addons, Dedicated IP's and SSL are priced very high. I requested a DNS zone change to a domain as their DNS management pages were giving errors, £50 they wanted for this.

The unlimited disk space and transfer is their problem, it stretches server resources. Any company that promises you unlimited bandwidth are counting on the fact that you will not use it.

The customer support is speedy one but I do question the quality of advice given.

I am now on a Litespeed server and the performance is about 10 times faster than Heart.

I recommend that you stay away from Heart Internet if you are looking for 'fast uk hosting' hunt down instead 'litespeed uk hosting'.


H.E. ex-reseller.

Having been on the web for over a decade I have been through quite a few hosting companies in my time. I have been with HeartInternet for over 2 years on the reseller package and can't fault them. They offer many options are good value, but most importantly have excellent customer service.

I have had quite a lot of questions regarding my hosting over those two years from mysql databases to DNS issues and the response from HI has been quick and informative allowing me to resolve problems quickly.

I have recommended their service to many friends and colleagues and have heard no bad reports from them either.

I signed up for a reseller package with Heart Internet when I needed affordable hosting for multiple domains and this was by far the best value option I could find. The reseller package offers hosting for unlimited domains and unlimited bandwidth, I assumed there was a catch but I'm yet to find it! The interface is simple to use and there is a wealth of tools, features & scripts available making life very simple for newbies or seasoned pro's alike. For example Worpress can be installed in just 2 clicks. I've heard some people moan about the customer support at Heart Internet, but I haven't used it yet as I've not had any problems with the service.

Our Profile

In 2003, businessmen Jonathan Brealey and Tim Beresford teamed up and founded Heart Internet. Both Brealey and Beresford had significant experience in the UK hosting and domain name registration industries, having once owned 123Reg and WebFusion. These were sold to GX Networks in 2000, paving the way for them to start Heart Internet.

Heart Internet focus is on low cost, high value web hosting. It has successfully targeted its packages to web designers and developers, as well as small business and home users. It offers shared and dedicated servers hosting in addition to its reseller package.

Company and Services
Heart Internet offers three shared hosting packages in addition to dedicated server and reseller solutions. The shared packages vary according to disk size, data transfer allowance, email accounts and various other options and features. Unlimited disk space is available with the top end of the range. Heart also offers a 30 day money back guarantee. Technical support staff can be contacted online or by telephone and you will also find a useful knowledge base resource on its website.

Heart Internet is a privately held, limited company. It is based in Nottingham, in the middle of England. All sales and administration functions are carried out in its Nottingham office.
