Customer reviews
What our customers say
★★★★★
Got me up and running quickly with minimal fuss. Very professional and reliable.
It took minutes to buy my personalised domain name, to order my web hosting and to install a SSL certificate… I have commissioned fusionhost to build my website and to provide me with training on how to use the website!
★★★★★
If anything has gone wrong, typically they tell me and it's sorted before I have been aware of it. A top company who work hard to make your web experience simple and engaging. I know of none better!
They transferred my website from a multinational web host that had no support to their hosting platform within 48 hours with no problem and more importantly no downtime!
★★★★★
Perfect prices, excellent customer service and no task is too small. Servers are connected to fast networks, are very responsive and have not skipped a beat. … Great company, even better people.
Assistance with the transfer was superb, all went smoothly with minimum downtime. Now working perfectly without any issues. Good decision on our part, just wish we had done it earlier.
Personalised Customer Support… At last!
They set up my server, they secured my server and they also provide all of the maintenance involved in running a web server… fusionhost took care of everything, so I can concentrate on running my business!
★★★★★
A very professional company with great…
A very professional company with great customer service. They are trustworthy and honest, two very important qualities I value hence I've been with them for over 8 years. Highly recommend them
It's rare these days to come across a company that does exactly what it says it will do. Fusionhost was that company for me. … thank you for great service and just your ability to get it done with NO dramas!!
Who qualifies for student hosting?
Anyone currently studying at a UK university, college or sixth form. Your plan is activated as soon as you pay, and we check your eligibility by hand using your academic email address or student ID. If you can’t show you’re eligible, we’ll move you to a standard web hosting plan at its normal price. If you can’t show you’re eligible, we’ll move you to a standard web hosting plan at its normal price.
How much does student hosting cost?
Student plans cost £39.99 a year for one website or £59.99 a year for three, billed annually. Veterans pay the same. No VAT is added.
What happens when I graduate?
Congratulations! Your website keeps running. When you’re no longer a student, you can move to one of our standard web hosting plans without moving your website.
Can I host coursework projects and experiments?
That's exactly what it's for. PHP, MySQL, WordPress, static sites — build, break and rebuild as much as you like within our acceptable use policy.
Do I get a domain name?
Domains are separate and honestly priced, from £9.99 a year for .co.uk, renewing at the same price. See domain prices.
Can I run Node.js, Python or Ruby applications?
Yes. All shared hosting plans support Node.js, Python and Ruby applications alongside PHP, set up from cPanel. Git deployment and SSH aren't available on shared hosting; for those, choose a cloud server.
Do I get SSH access?
Not on shared web hosting plans. If you need SSH access, our cloud servers include it. Shared plans do support Node.js, Python and Ruby applications, which you can set up from cPanel.
What kind of support is included?
Personalised help from our British team, all year round, through support tickets in your client area. You'll always deal with a real person who reads your question properly, not a chatbot.
