Great for Agency Hosting
Setup their agency hosting (formerly called Cloud) for my clients. Been running with no downtime for over 16 months now across 23 clients. The speeds ...
are incredible and the uptime was my biggest surprise. Support has been great when I needed it, there was one time that the support agent couldn't resolve my issue and had to escalate it to someone over email. This issue was resolved a couple of hours later. Overall, the experience has been great, and the pricing beats what I was paying over at Flywheel for a similar agency hosting plan. I also have a couple of test accounts on their shared hosting product. This product has seen some great improvements over the past year and is quite impressive as well.

Seems cheap at first, they never tell you of the expensive extras.
FastHosts will lure you in with what appear to be great offers. They seldom live up to expectations. 1. Sudden increases in price - monthly subscrip...
tions tie you in and suddenly jump in price from £1 to ≈£25. 2. Unclear communication - I had a support ticket open for 3 months with zero response from "Fast"hosts. Status was "awaiting response". When this was pointed out to them, their response was "we view support tickets as more like notes than support tickets." And then sneekily marked the ticket "closed". 3. Unclear pricing - I received documents from them that said some services cost £0 per month, with no indication they were putting up that price to £23. 4. No contracts sent to emails - but they will claim they did. All in all I think FastHosts have really dropped in standards to the point where I would recommend using a more reliable supplier to anyone with them or thinking of joining them. They're currently providing no service to me, poor response to customers, make their money from what is generally called "subscription scam" and trying to take yet more money from me. Be aware of their "expensive add-on" Modus operandi, e.g. £40 for an SSL.

Email is not reliable
We have not had incoming mail working for 2 days. Yesterday I phoned them to tell them our email was not being received. They made a few changes on ...
the server and said that it would fix itself in the next 4 to 6 hours. Nothing changed. Next day, still no mail so I called again. After making more changes on the server and making us change all our passwords (13) they told me it would be fixed in 30 minutes. Nothing changed. I called back again and more changes were made on the server. I was told it would now take 24 hours for the changes to propagate. This will be three days our business is without any email. Not sure if your business could go that long with no email, but this is ridiculous. We are now expected to wait until tomorrow afternoon (the third day) to see if it is fixed this time. I'm not holding my breath, but I am researching a new hosting company.
