What is Host Media?
Our expertise in hosting solutions dates back to 2002 but we actually launched Host Media in 2008. With our range of powerful server resources, we wanted to provide heavy media and application based hosting that will not fail under the stress that is created by media based websites and applications. We continue to use our rule on overselling. We do not do it and will sell what we have, so you know that when you order your hosting plan that the hosting space is dedicated to you, not anyone else. We pride ourselves on customer service and providing the best hosting solution possible. If you have any questions or would like to know more please contact a member of the team: sales@hostmedia.uk

Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Host Media receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, with 42 five-star ratings out of 50 and strong satisfaction across nearly all dimensions. Users consistently praise the company's responsive support, competitive pricing, and reliability. Many describe support staff as knowledgeable, patient, and willing to go beyond standard service—helping with migrations, downgrades, and technical troubleshooting even when customers caused the issues themselves. Long-standing customers (some for over a decade) repeatedly cite zero or minimal downtime and note the company's particular strength in specialised hosting like Cold Fusion.
The few criticisms are minor and scattered. Three reviewers gave 3–4 stars, citing occasional delays in payment processing and, in one case, inconsistent technical support quality where certain issues required repeated requests before resolution. Another reviewer noted that support sometimes prioritises closing tickets over solving underlying problems. One user mentioned a minor interface frustration with email login lockouts.
Overall, Host Media appeals to buyers seeking affordable, dependable hosting with hands-on customer service. The company works well for long-term customers and those needing niche solutions. The rare negative feedback suggests support consistency can vary, but it does not significantly detract from the strong reputation reflected in these reviews.

“I've been using Host Media mainly to host my emails…”
I've been using Host Media mainly to host my emails and holding pages for three websites. They were the most cost-effective solution for what I need. The fact that you can host unlimited websites is good. And I loved being able to choose server location. Reliability-wise, I haven't noticed any hiccups with my email availability or anything else. I've used chat support for tech questions and also ticket support for a billing issue at the start. All was very swift and friendly.

“I got an email requesting me to write this review.…”
I got an email requesting me to write this review. I am currently in process of testing out and comparing various hosting providers for an article I am writing, so signed up to try out their new advertised Lucee plans to try out the servers, and my support experience has been frustrating. What should have been a simple 5 minute job of resetting a password, turned into a 2 day fiasco of wrong passwords being reset locking me out. Issues with control panel not working as expected to whitelist IP's, not being to remotely access databases and having to explain how tcp/ip and telnet work and that if you cannot connect then any amount of password resets are not going to help. Even worse when they do not know the issue is caused by one of their own standard operating procedures. Almost every time I used livechat I was asked to open a ticket, so that seems pretty pointless. A lot of companies, especially hosts these days outsource their support to India, especially the cheap ones, as it is the only way they can afford to have a 24/7 helpdesk. Which is fair enough, I have done the same thing myself, but the key when doing this is ongoing performance reviews and quality control, which is clearly where HostMEdia needs to invest some time based on my experiences. I can certainly see that that for a non-technical customer who is not able to diagnose issues themselves or understand when they are being given wrong advice, simple problems could drag on for days with while you get sent on a wild goose case.

“So far so good. Ordering was simple and painless. As…”
So far so good. Ordering was simple and painless. As per requirements to get Lucee up and running a ticket needed opening requesting this on previous setup but believe this is automated now. It was simple and straightforward and the support team at host media were on the ball. I’m amazed at the speed performance of the host and cloud servers so looking forward to full deployment. Overall a great service received from host media and their support team. If you’re looking for cfml hosting this is definitely one to checkout.

Great service and awesome support. I'm with Host Media for about 2 years now, servers were never down, didn't have any major issues with my websites (unlike i used to have with other big and popular hosting companies), i truly recommend them.
