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 use the Railo shared hosting and I'm very satisfied. The shared hosted is blazing fast! Much faster than most VPS hosting. The support team is very helpful and fast to respond.

I have used this for a period of two years from Japan. It has run smoothly without any problems until now, I can run the server as well in Japan. It is a server that we hope to continue using.
