Customer Testimonals

We use Fido for bandwidth and colocation and cannot fault them in the slightest. We’ve never had any outages and both planned maintenance and support requests are efficiently communicated and actioned by their highly trained team of engineers.

I have been hosting my mission critical web sites on a dedicated server with Fido.Net for many years now, and clients’ sites for several years before that, and I have been continuously impressed by the hardware’s performance and the team’s knowledge and approachability.   My website streams and serves crisp HD video to thousands of users. It does this from a server setup purpose-configured by Fido.Net themselves with no extra intervention on my part. Software upgrades happen transparently in the background, and I’m safe in the knowledge that everything is constantly monitored.   For high performance hosting in the UK I would look no further than Fido.Net.

As a freelance web developer I need reliable and affordable hosting for my clients projects.  Fido provide the perfect solution with their versatile VPS offerings, allowing me total control and scalabity. However, the biggest reason I have been proudly recommending Fido to my clients since 2006 is their expert, prompt and no nonsense technical support, something that you would be hard pushed to find in another provider at these prices.

Forbidden Planet International (FPI) is a world leader in the sale & distribution to individual collectors, of Movie and TV related, Science Fiction & Pop culture merchandise, collectibles, and books. FPI run several web sites, the premier one of which is http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk   Our sites were hosted in the USA. On review we found that housekeeping regimes had not ben performed, redundant files littered the server and security holes existed. We decided to transfer all ten sites, allied mail servers, and all data to the UK. After an extensive search, and interrogating several candidates we chose Fido.Net as the host. The entire transfer was carefully planned, a full copy of everything was implanted on Fido servers and checked for compatibility. Some of the programmes had to be upgraded and re-integrated. When it came time to complete the actual transfer and upgrade, Fido were superb. I’d like to single out Jon Morby and Cliff Stanford especially. Most of the problems encountered were due to very poor housekeeping. Those two were always on call. They worked with us over a weekend and through the early hours of several days to solve the inherent problems we both found. Finally ensuring a full and complete working install. This experience prompted me to request that Fido.Net personnel review our sites with a brief to improve the Customer experience and streamline the operations. Again they have come through. Their initial recommendations have been implemented. Other long term goals are now in planning and test mode on a development copy of the site. All in all, for dedication, perseverance, knowledge and application, I would unhesitatingly recommend Fido.Net

We have significant increase of traffic since going over to your Fido Unlimited Hosting. THIS HAS PROVED MUCH BETTER THAN THE WEB HOSTING WE HAD FROM APPLE!
