About Hostpapa • http://www.hostpapa.co.uk

Hostpapa.co.uk is a web hosting company based in London.  They have expanded internationally into Canada (Toronto), and the US (Niagara Falls) as well.  Hostpapa professes a family approach to web hosting, as evidenced in their motto, “Let Papa take care of you”.  Thus, there is a heavy emphasis on paternal qualities like reliability and security, as well as the fact that they’re looking out for small to medium sized businesses in particular.  Hostpapa also emphasizes the fact that they are a “green” hosting service, and as such is powered by 100% green energy sources.  If “green” is all you’re looking for in a web host, then there you are.  

Hostpapa offers web hosting, and the range of hosting options is very simple.  They offer one comprehensive, failsafe plan, priced according to the length of the contract.  A longer contract equals bigger savings, but all plans are pretty inexpensive.  The plan includes unlimited bandwidth, disk space, and domain names on one account.  You also get free setup, free Soholaunch website builder software, and personal website tools.  cPanel and Fantastico are included in the package, as well as B2Evolution.

Hostpapa’s hosting plan supports Dreamweaver, Frontpage, iWeb, InDesign, and Publisher.  You get FTP access with your plan, which is fully Mac compatible if that’s your thing.  It also supports audio, video, and MIDI files, along with Flash and Macromedia software.  This is just the foundation.  There are literally hundreds of personalizable add-ons available as well.

Excellent experience - when I totally screwed up my site with a badly managed move to a new domain name they went back in their archives and restored the site for me - service above and beyond.

I was with Host Papa for 2 days, supposedly still under their "money back guarantee". I wanted to change my domain name, and THEY advised me to cancel my order and start again. No-one bothered telling me this was going to cost me £30!!! They even kept the VAT on a product returned to me. And they didn't bother telling me that a change in domain name would only cost me £19. Well I've learnt my lesson, read the fine print carefully, but I would advise not using this company as they are liars and rip off merchants. But well done them, £30 for a little over 1 days hosting. Money back guarantee indeed.

Host Papa did and continue to do everything they promised. Yes there has been maybe two times there was a glitch in the system but I would stay at 99.99% up time. I am very happy with their service.

From the very start, I have had a fantastic experience with HostPapa. I asked several questions about how to launch my website and was always given timely, friendly, and useful responses. I look forward to loyally continuing business with HostPapa.

I have been bouncing around different hosting companies for years. While most promised 99.9% up time, only Hostpapa has delivered that for me. Transferring was quick and easy, and all answers to my questions have always been met quickly and thoroughly. I would recommend Hostpapa to anyone.

I use HostPapa for my own website and have recommended HostPapa for my clients and family too. HostPapa customer service has been very helpful when dealing with transferring URLs and setting up hosting packages.

I was looking for an affordable hosting solution to help me get started with a blogging website I had in mind. I searched around and found HostPapa. It had all the features I wanted at the right price. Its emphasis on renewable green energy to power its systems was an added plus. Customer service - which I value greatly - has been very good. They have very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I used Fantastico to setup my Drupal site, and it was up and running in minutes.

I have been really impressed with all aspects of my dealings with HostPapa. The server has been incredibly reliable and as a result I haven't really needed to use the Tech Support very much and when I did they were very helpful. I am extremely pleased that I chose to use HostPapa to host our website.
