Easyhost

UK cPanel hosting with free SSL, daily backups and 24/7 email support
Easyhost is a UK-facing web host run by Host Global Limited that sells cPanel shared hosting, WordPress hosting and domain names in British pounds. Its five shared tiers and three WordPress plans include free SSL, daily backups, unlimited email accounts, unmetered bandwidth and free migration, backed by a 99.999% network availability commitment. It suits UK freelancers, small businesses and agencies that want a familiar cPanel setup, though storage is priced above budget hosts and user reviews often report slow support replies.

Easyhost Prices and Plans

Easyhost splits its catalogue into three groups: shared hosting, WordPress hosting and domain registration. Shared hosting opens with a £1.49 name server plan that hosts only a DNS zone, then climbs through Starter Pack, Business, Performance, Enterprise and Elite, where storage, CPU cores, RAM, hosted websites, inodes and entry processes all increase. The three WordPress plans are built for a single WordPress site and add a preinstalled installation plus caching, with the higher two tiers adding a firewall and phone support. Everything is quoted per month in pounds and excludes VAT, and domain names are billed separately from hosting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Prices are quoted in pounds and billed monthly, with no annual contract to lock you in

Every shared plan includes free SSL through AutoSSL, daily backups, unlimited email accounts and free migration

cPanel and phpMyAdmin give newcomers a control panel they can find guides for anywhere

CloudLinux with CageFS keeps each hosting account isolated from its neighbours

Published CPU, RAM, storage, inode and entry process figures make the tiers easy to compare

WordPress plans bundle a Web Application Firewall with Redis, Varnish and opCache caching

Support is advertised 24/7/365, and a 99.999% network availability commitment is written into the SLA

No free domain, but registration is handled in-house across more than 30 extensions, including .co.uk

Cons

Storage is costly for the price: the £5.99 Starter Pack allows only 10 GB

Independent review sites collect many complaints about slow replies, unresolved tickets and billing errors

Phone support is listed only on WordPress Advanced and Ultra, so shared hosting is email-only

Sales and billing desks answer only on weekdays between 08:00 and 16:00

The UK website sells no VPS, dedicated or reseller hosting, so growth options stop at shared hosting

No free domain is included, and domain fees are non-refundable once a name is registered

WordPress Basic and Advanced get weekly backups instead of daily ones

Prices exclude VAT, which adds 20% for UK customers at checkout

Easyhost Features

Feature

Description

cPanel Control Panel
Every plan runs the latest cPanel build, so you manage domains, email, databases, files, Cron jobs and SSL from one dashboard. phpMyAdmin is included for database work, and PHP versions from 5.3 to 8.2 can be selected per account.
CloudLinux with CageFS Isolation
CloudLinux keeps each hosting account in its own CageFS container, so a traffic spike on one website does not slow the sites beside it. It also lets Easyhost enforce the CPU, RAM and entry process limits listed for each tier.
Free SSL Certificates
Shared hosting plans get free certificates issued and renewed automatically through AutoSSL, while WordPress plans use Let's Encrypt. If you buy a certificate elsewhere, the technical team will install it for you on request.
Daily Automated Backups
All five shared hosting plans are backed up every day. On WordPress hosting, Basic and Advanced run weekly backups and WordPress Ultra moves to daily backups, so it is worth checking the tier before you rely on a restore.
Unlimited Email Accounts and Databases
Create as many mailboxes and MySQL databases as the project needs, along with unlimited subdomains. Mailboxes work over Webmail, POP3 and IMAP in both normal and secure modes, so they suit desktop clients and phones.
Unmetered Bandwidth
Every shared hosting tier lists unlimited bandwidth, so a busy month does not create an overage bill. Storage, inodes and entry processes are the limits that actually rise as you move up the range.
WordPress Caching Stack
WordPress plans combine Redis object caching, a Varnish front end and opCache to cut database queries and serve pages faster. Easyhost also offers a performance review of a slow site and a report on what to fix.
Web Application Firewall on WordPress Plans
WordPress Advanced and Ultra sit behind a firewall that blocks brute force attempts on the admin login and spam submissions through contact forms. Easyhost monitors accounts around the clock and reports suspicious activity to the site owner.
Free Website Migration
The in-house technical team moves an existing website, email and files from another provider onto Easyhost at no extra cost. This is included on both the shared hosting tiers and all three WordPress plans.
Published Resource Limits and Entry Processes
Easyhost publishes the CPU cores, RAM, storage, inode count and entry process allowance for each shared plan instead of hiding them in small print. WordPress plans also list a preinstalled WordPress, a free certificate and the backup frequency.

Rating Breakdown

We scored Easyhost on pricing, features, performance, ease of use and support using its own plan pages, its Service Level Agreement and independent user reviews. Each score weighs what you get for the money, and the support score also reflects the volume of complaints about slow email replies and billing problems on public review sites.

Parameter

Score

Why This Score

Pricing
5
Monthly billing in pounds with no annual contract is flexible, and the £4.99 WordPress Basic plan is the cheapest way in. Storage is where the value drops: 10 GB costs £5.99 a month on the Starter Pack, and every price excludes VAT, which adds 20% for UK buyers.
Features
7
Every shared plan bundles cPanel, CloudLinux isolation, a free AutoSSL certificate, daily backups, unlimited email accounts, databases and subdomains, plus free migration. WordPress plans add a firewall and caching, but daily backups only start at WordPress Ultra.
Performance
7.5
SSD storage, CloudLinux cages, Redis, Varnish and opCache caching, a 99.999% network availability commitment and Tier-3 and Tier-4 data centres are a solid foundation. The lower shared tiers are modest, with 1 CPU core and 1 GB RAM on the Starter Pack.
Ease of Use
7.5
cPanel is the control panel most site owners already know, and the myEasyhost area handles services and billing. Free migration and a preinstalled WordPress on the WordPress plans cut setup work, and accounts are ready about 30 minutes after ordering.
Support
4.5
Support is advertised 24/7/365 by email and ticket, with phone lines added on WordPress Advanced and Ultra. Independent review sites collect many complaints about slow replies, unresolved tickets and billing errors, and sales and billing answer only on weekdays from 08:00 to 16:00.
Overall
6.6
Easyhost is a dependable cPanel host for UK users who want pounds billing, published resource limits, free SSL and included backups. Premium storage pricing, inconsistent support reports and a line-up that stops at shared hosting keep the overall score moderate.

What is Easyhost?

Easyhost is a web hosting company that sells cPanel shared hosting, WordPress hosting and domain names in British pounds. The UK-facing service is run by Host Global Limited, a company registered at International House, 24 Holborn Viaduct in London. The brand grew out of Hostway’s European operations, and Easyhost says its platforms have been built on experience with more than 200,000 websites across Europe.

Ordering happens through the myEasyhost client area, and day-to-day management happens in cPanel. From there you create email addresses, databases, subdomains and SSL certificates, and you can see how much CPU, RAM, storage, inodes and entry processes your plan is using. Every shared account runs inside CloudLinux with CageFS, so each website is kept separate from the others on the same server. Bandwidth, email accounts, databases and subdomains are listed as unlimited on all five shared plans, while storage, CPU and RAM grow from one tier to the next.

The appeal here is convenience rather than the lowest price. Daily backups, a free SSL certificate through AutoSSL, free migration by the in-house team and 24/7/365 email support come with shared hosting. WordPress plans add a Web Application Firewall and a caching stack built from Redis, Varnish and opCache to cut page load times. The company runs HP and Cisco hardware in Tier-3 and Tier-4 data centres and commits to 99.999% network availability in its Service Level Agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

The UK-facing service is run by Host Global Limited, registered at International House, 24 Holborn Viaduct, London EC1A 2BN. Easyhost grew out of Hostway’s European operations and says its platforms have been built on experience with more than 200,000 websites across Europe. Technical support takes email at support@easyhost.com around the clock, while sales and billing desks answer on weekdays between 08:00 and 16:00.

No. The plans list how many websites you can host, not free registrations. The Starter Pack hosts one website and Elite hosts up to 100, but the domain itself is bought and renewed separately. A .com, .net or .org costs £11.99 a year and a .co.uk costs £15.99 a year, all excluding VAT, and registration fees cannot be refunded once a name is registered.

Every plan runs the latest cPanel with phpMyAdmin for database work. Shared hosting supports PHP 5.3 through 8.2, and the WordPress plans add opCache, Redis and Varnish caching. Accounts sit inside CloudLinux with CageFS, so each website stays isolated from the others on the same server.

Shared hosting is the general range. It spans the £1.49 name server plan, the £5.99 Starter Pack and four larger tiers that host up to 100 websites with growing CPU, RAM and inode limits. WordPress hosting is narrower and built around a single site: each plan comes with one preinstalled WordPress and a Let’s Encrypt certificate, and Advanced and Ultra add a Web Application Firewall plus phone support.

The prices on the plan pages are standard monthly rates in pounds that exclude VAT, and Easyhost does not advertise a separate renewal rate that kicks in after the first term. Migration is included: the technical team will move an existing website from another provider to Easyhost at no extra cost, and the same free migration applies to all three WordPress plans.
