The best hosting for businesses in the UK
Tom Dangly,
They have the best hardware in the UK. From the moment you sign up you will love how fast and reliable your hosting is. I've never had an issue with them.

Fast and solid VPS
Carlo D.,
We have never had any downtime while using their services, and the pricing for the managed server packages is fair and transparent. My current two VPSs at ChemiCloud have been extremely fast, reliable, and stable.

Dreadful, Dreadful, Dreadful support!
Graham Church,
I've had servers with Rapidswitch for over 8 years and have watched as their service and support has slowly degraded. It used to be a good company but their response times and support quality has steadily got worse and worse....

They show no concern if hardware has faults and nobody takes ownership of problems or attempts to fix their servers rapidly. Unfortunately I was left with very little confidence in their ability to actually run a hosting facility. We have switched to AWS which is actually working out cheaper with a much more resilient infrastructure.

Be Careful
Hammad Khan,
I was honestly planning to sign up for Established Reseller Plan until i stumbled upon the pricing page. I must say that support was good and even waited for 15 mins since i had an urgent phone call to attend.
Anyways, long ... More story short and here is the break down of events. - So when I moved to buy now page, i was a bit shocked looking at the pricing (screenshot attached) -- What they advertised is $17.49 per month so according to this it should be $209.88 for 12 months but they are asking for 9.40 - When i asked the support staff, he told me that this is what it is and you can pay monthly and remain on $17.49 -- Then when i asked him that this would not be true because your terms on pricing say something different (Link to screenshot https://ibb.co/HGP9jg5) -- Response was sorry that we are unable to meet in the middle way and the chat closed Seriously they should be ranked the lowest when it comes to reseller hosting and what a disappointment.
