The type of hosting and the company you get your hosting with usually depends on two factors: your website requirements and your budget. Whilst we primarily look at dedicated servers we do venture out and use other types of hosting such as shared hosting for some of our smaller sites. Everyone paying for hosting — whether it is a personal blog or a business website — wants to know they are getting value for money and a reliable service.
After that slightly long introduction I would like to start the ezpz hosting review. Cutting to the chase, one of my favourite smaller hosting companies that I have had the pleasure of using is EZPZ hosting. They are UK-based but offer hosting packages with servers based either in the UK or the US. You should always pick hosting that has servers in the same geographical location as your target demographic for your website — it will decrease loading times for your users and, perhaps more importantly, you will receive an extra boost in your search engine rankings for that location.
EZPZ servers take advantage of LiteSpeed, which is up to 9 times faster than servers using Apache and processes PHP up to 50% faster. They were established in 2007 and have been offering great service from day one. They have been continually expanding and now host over 200,000 websites worldwide.
Perhaps the best aspect of EZPZ hosting is their devotion to providing instant round-the-clock support. Their average response time is seven minutes, and every time I have had to ask for support — usually due to my own self-manufactured problems — they have replied to my support tickets extremely fast and been incredibly helpful. Even in situations where I was dubious that they would know the answer to some highly technical questions beyond the normal requirements of hosting support, they have risen far beyond my expectations and assisted me with their first reply.
The other great thing about going with a smaller company is that the CEO is often much more hands-on. This has huge benefits — the owner of a business has the biggest interest in keeping customers happy, far more so than someone who is just there to answer the phone and collect a pay cheque. The owner of the company is Dan Butcher, and he will frequently reply to support tickets himself. He has offered me deals and discounts on previous occasions — another great aspect of having direct contact with the person at the top.
Overall, EZPZ is our favourite budget hosting company. If you don't want to overpay for your hosting, EZPZ is for you. You will be hard pressed to find a more comprehensive hosting company for the price that EZPZ offers.
One more thing: ignore their standard special offer. They usually promote 25% off your first month, but we have arranged a better deal for our readers. If you ask the owner Dan directly, you can get a recurring 10% discount every month for as long as you have hosting — use the voucher code "10up" at checkout. Much better than 25% off just your first month. Enjoy your hosting with EZPZ.
