Exclusive Hosting is a UK based company that offers quality services to individuals and businesses of almost any size. They have data centers in the US, UK and Australia and have done a good job at growing their company to the point where they serve people in virtually every major country in the world.
They focus on offering unlimited hosting options at all their different package levels. While many companies who push the unlimited packages seem to oversell their services, especially shared services, this one seems to have managed to keep a nice balance. Their prices are at or a little below industry standards, and they have plenty of different options to choose from to ensure they can meet the needs of virtually every site out there.
The company also really pushes their cloud hosting services, which are integrated into virtually everything they do. Their DNS, email, apps and database servers, for example, are all cloud based, which gives users a more reliable service.
Uptime & Reliability
99.9% uptime guarantee at all levels
Whether you opt for the shared hosting, VPS, Cloud or dedicated servers, you’ll enjoy the benefits of a 99.9% uptime guarantee. In most cases you will never have to use this guarantee, however, because their data center is kept up to date and they use high quality servers and other hardware. While they don’t have a live server uptime page that I could find, there are also very few complaints on social media or other locations that would indicate any type of trouble in this area.
Features
Plenty of great features available
At every package level you will get everything you need for most websites. Disk space and bandwidth are both unlimited, which is nice. You also get a money back guarantee for all their hosting services. They perform full daily backups, which is fairly common, but they also allow you to browse the backup system. This means if you accidently lose just one file, you can go restore it in seconds rather than having to deal with a full restore.
They provide lots of free website templates to work with, and dozens of applications that you can install with just one click. Everyone also gets their online website builder, which is surprisingly easy to use according to current and former users. Overall, the features provided by this company are quite good.
Support
24/7 live support
The support provided by this company is really top notch. You can call them, use live chat or just submit a ticket to them, depending on what you need. They are typically quick to respond and seem more than able to fix any type of issue you’re having. From what current and former customers have said, they are even willing to help customer created problems free of charge.
Pricing
Low to average pricing
When you look through all the packages that are available from this company, you will see that the prices are always at or below the industry averages. They aren’t shockingly low or anything like that, but you can save a couple dollars per month in most cases, which is good. You’ll appreciate the fact that even with the lower prices, the services you get are still top notch.
Summary
Great hosting for almost any site
While some hosting companies try to focus down into a single niche, Exclusive Hosting seems to have gone the opposite route. They clearly want to provide their services to as many people as possible, which has guided most of their decision making. They have data centers in convenient locations around the world, their prices are fair and they do an overall good job at keeping their customers happy.
Pros:
- Good pricing
- Lots of great features
- Quality data centers in convenient locations
Cons:
- Their integration of cloud services may be confusing to newer customers
