Byethost Reviews

Byet Host are infact, one of the best hosts I have been with. SiteGround were amazing but the £5 mo/ fee is just a bit too much for a 16 year old’s pocket (When I had the hosting package).

Byethost really does offer quite a wide range of packages to choose from for your desired needs. They offer free basic hosting (with safe mode off) up to premium hosting (shared, paid) & Business (VPS & Own server) with a good bulk of features to go with each. The free hosting package is a small but effective hosting solution for anyone who needs a fast and easy host for their blog or website. It has 250MB disk space with 6GB transfer per month (this is actually better than some paid hosts). The only downside is that its on a balance shared server, so your sites performance will degrade if you use too much resources (if you have a forum etc.) but having a paid option (the cheapest at Byet) for $35.88 (cost me £20) for a free site upgrade (no downtime) and great package specs is brilliant.

Their support is second to none, the average response time I got must have been around 4-20 minutes, depending on time of day when I replied. I had a few problems with the site being upgraded and my domain flying around but it was a sorted within the hour and my site was fully working again. I had some problems on other hosts where I was waiting for at least 2 days for the problem to be fixed. They also have a fantastic forum with help & support there from the team + customers.

The customer doesn’t need that much technical expertise/experience to put their site on the server and run it through Byethosts. They have great tutorials, documentation and the paid packages use CPanel (which is very easy to use with tutorials of its own). If you are ever stuck with anything, the support team is always more than happy to assist.

They had a DDOS attack on the servers for the free hosting and it caused problems through the websites hosted, but they quickly released an announcement explaining why (http://byet.net/showthread.php?t=6912) and the problems were sorted within a few hours. They also added more security to help prevent this from happening again.

It is suitable for anyone, it is a great general host offering; free, paid, reseller and business packages that are feature packed and at competitive prices. If you have a small website or a huge forum, Byethost can host it.

I am very proud to have my site hosted at Byethost and I don’t see me switching at all. I would fully recommend anyone to give them a try and when friends ask me about good hosts, I direct them to Byethost’s site. Brilliant host.
