Clifford - CMWebHostingI have had no problems with the service and i will be ordering from you in the future. At this time i need to consolidate the number of servers i have to keep costs down. Thank You for all your help and assistance.
Stuart - Star Web Hosting LimitedWe used a dedicated server from RackSRV for around 4 months. Throughout this period network and power availability was superb, and the little problems we did experience were dealt with in a timely and professional manor. Overall we're happy with the received service and would recommend!
Olorin - Ello GroupSince our clan first got a server with RackSRV we've had nothing but good experiences. The reliability and cost of services were top notch and support are a great help on the very rare occasions they're needed (and that's mostly due to us).
MartinJust a quick note to say that the support and the server have been second to none, with no downtime which has been a first!! Any problems that I had have been sorted quickly (all user errors on my part though!)
IanThe service is very good. We have no issues with the support. They are always on-time to provide assistance.
Rommel - PnD Hongkong LimitedNothing less than an excellent service! I'm also a long term member on WHT and I recommend your company to everyone who are looking for a hosting company in UK.
