hostXnow review
OK, my first post here and am reviewing a web host so, guess I should say I'm nothing to do with hostXnow other than being a customer this past 5 months.
I'm a co-director, Trustee and Webmaster of a National Registered Charity (not here to plug it mind you but you can ask if you want to know). I'd been a personal customer of a not to be named host for 7 years and they had hosted our Charity sites for 18 months with only a few issues. Then, things didn't go wrong with them they went fubar! and I had to get out.
I spoke online to Mr hostXnow (aka Chris) and he seemed both helpful and friendly. Sadly (for him) whilst I'm webmaster for the Charity I'm still learning so we had many (many) chats whilst I moved the 21 domain names we owned to his servers (the not to be named previous host was not communicating so had to enlist the help of nominet).
So, from previous experience hostXnow are no different from my previous host when things go well BUT, in times of need, trouble, general assistance Chris has been there for us and I'd be happy to recommend him to anybody looking for a new host.
One of our sites was recently hacked (self removed explitives) and I was in the inner hebredies when it happened with poor connection but Chris came through and together we solved the issues.
If I'm honest putting our sites in the hands of one person was a worry but Chris seems to be online 24/7 and have never raised a ticket that has not been answered within an hour or two.
With my previous hosts I got a lot of "its not the server, its your code" replies to Q's but Chris seems to go the extra mile to assist with issues that are not in his domain (see what I did there?).
Shall end this rather long post by saying I (very) rarely post recomendations for anything but Mr hostXnow deserves credit where it's due.

I'd say this is the domain in question:
http://www.btbuddies.org.uk/
The domain points to: am-2-pm.net
The above domain belongs to 'Chris Smith' at HostXNowLast edited by Sparrow-Sean; 05-06-2011 at 01:06 AM.

Hi folks and sorry, guess I didn't read the FAQ's properly before posting. And yes, btbuddies.org.uk is 1 of 21 domains Chris helped me transfer over. I joined Chris just before Christmas and we completed the domain transfers early and went 'Live' with him in January 2011. The reason am-2-pm.net belongs to Chris is that all my domains sat under am-2-pm.co.uk on the other server and he set the new account up for me as .co.uk had to stay where it was until I was ready to move all the domains.

Another god review for Chris. I've been hosting with him since July. And never experienced any downtime yet. The support, as has been stated is second to none.
I cant rate him highly enough right now. Chris, please keep the standards high.

It is better to ask customers who are involved with them and this is the best for you because they know this thing

Glad you are satisfied with HostXnow. Since this topic is somehow "old" would you like to give us an updated review?
Thanks

HostXNow are Fantastic
I'd like to second the nice comments above about the fantastic service provided by HostXNow, and Chris in particular.
A client came to our web agency recently whose ZenCart website had been hacked very badly and their users were being sent off to competitors!
HostXNow couldn't have been better - even though we weren't sure whether the security holes were on the previous server, the FTP account or with the ZenCart software, HostXNow very quickly got to the bottom of the problem (ZenCart) and locked things down so well that the hacking totally stopped instantly.
Since then HostXNow have quickly fixed any other issues we've had.
We were very lucky to have found such a good company to work with!

I agree. If you wait 1 year then you wont remember the setup process. For many starters that is important. Keep up the with the updates and this will help many
