Thumbs up OxyUK Review

Hey people!

This is a quick review of my webhost, they've offered me a great service with good support, at a nice price.

I live in Australia, and I'm currently on vaccation in England and I requested they call me and text me if there is any problems, they also do daily calls where they can read and reply to your emails at a small cost which is great for vaccations.

I use paypal to pay monthly which is great, and I have responses to support queries in minutes if no seconds! I usually get personal responses so there is no automatic or copied responses, its all done individual which is good.

I get cPanel 10, with fantastico and lots more all online 24/7, they're a great company and they have offered me great services, including design help and more! They even have flash tutorials as I'm used to plesk, but with these flash tutorials I got some quickstart thinking about how to do things.

Anyway, if anyones looking for hosting whether its a really cheap host you want, or you want a professional service with advanced functions they'll offer you a really good solution. Take a look at their websites.

http://www.oxyuk.com for their main website
http://www.oxyuk.com/host for their hosting site

I think they have quite a few customers, so they're a good company with lots going on.

So lets say I don't think a lot about them.

ISTR they claimed 2million customers and 80 staff at one point, despite "hopping" around different resellers to save a $1/month.

Vague memories of them trying resell Lycos services at one point ...

I'd suggest a quick search on other forums shows different views on OxyUK.

Calls and texts?
Reading your email to you and then replying for you? (Privacy Terms must be pretty well written on that one) Must be paying them a fortune.

Ive seen many similar threads on other forums slating OxyUK for their support and overall business mannor, Pesonally, I wouldn't touch them

Quote:
Our servers are located in the Telecom Hotel datacentre, Dallas, Texas (USA) with fast links to the internet so wherever you are you'll get a fast response.
And not that it matters as much for a web host but I thought they were UK based?
