What our VPS hosting customers are saying on Trustpilot


"Would recommend"

Gregory James Ellis

Been with Heart for 8 years. Been with lots of others too. Difference is Heart customer support is better. Lot of them are linux admins, they actually 'know' what you're on about and solve your problems rapidly. Also good value on most commodity things like VPS. so when combined with better support, is defo worth it. I would recommend.

"Fantastic service"

Danny Broome

Wth the experience, knowledge, help and patience of the people at Heart Internet they talked me through every step of moving from a shared package to one of their VPS packages. They even migrated everything from my old package for me, nothing seemed to be to much for them. They definitely went above and beyond what would be expected of any team.

"Really helpful and responsive"

Clint Scott

Really helpful and responsive. I had two issues over this weekend, one was an issue with a website where the helpful support staff were able to identify the rouge plugin causing the issue, they disabled it and gave me good instruction on next steps so the site was back up and running in no time. They also helped advise and upgrade another website from shared hosting to a managed VPS. Again just really helpful and informative. I would highly recommend them.
