Whether you are looking for semi-shared hosting or complete managed enterprise servers, you have come to the right place.

They don't just stop at servers either, you can also look into buying domains, SSL certificates, and even get your logo designed by the team at 040.
Reliability

040 Hosting are a company you can put your faith into when it comes to reliability, not only do they respond to any questions during weekends within an hour but they also provide cheap hosting with no drop in how their hosting plans perform.

Support
Lack a Few Features But Very Helpful
When we look at the support that 040 Hosting offer, they don't offer every available option to customers but what they do well is provide an excellent support solution for the options they do have available.
Several reviews on the company state how much 040 Hosting has helped them migrate from an existing hosting provider to their system, whether that's saving and importing important emails or fats replies to emails and web chats. They certainly do go out of there way to help customers and provide a prompt reply service to any queries.

Pricing
So much choice, and so many prices!
Where do we start with pricing! To be honest with you, 040 Hosting offer so many services, locations and solutions that its hard (and confusing) to try and break down the pricing structure. Instead I will give you the gist of what you can expect, if you were looking at purchasing some of the services.
Shared hosting packages start at €15 per year for the mini packages and €4.96 per month for the standard packages. Each of these can be upgraded to other tiers with more functionality and features available. You also have different types of shared hosting, such as the semi-shared hosting platforms which start at €29.84 per month.
We then move on to dedicated servers, which again have a variety of different types available but generally they start at €65 per month for unmanaged budget servers working up to €195 per month for managed enterprise servers.
Summary
Dedication, Reliability, and Competitive Prices
When it comes down to picking the right web host, you cant really go far wrong with 040 Hosting, they offer a variety of hosting plans and packages from shared hosting, semi-hosting and your dedicated VPS accounts. The service they offer is reliable, well priced and they also give first class support to customers through a number of different channels.
The only drawback I can point out is that because they offer so many different services and location based hosting, it can get confusing to navigate your way around the site. This in-turn can leave you not really knowing what kind of hosting is right for you, and this is where other services such as Web Hosting Hub offer a better experience.
Pros
- Very user friendly
- Competitive prices
- A range of useful tools and features
- Reliable
Cons
- Too much choice
- Can get confusing
