     I'm super impressed with  the very rare level of support given when I bumped into a problem deploying an App, which was of my making. Pete offer to do it for me which he did and it was all up and running the next morning. Since then I've done a lot of modification of file and setting up emails etc and found Switchweb very easy to understand and navigate. I would have no hesitation in recommending Switchweb.

     Easy enough to use; a little tech knowledge is helpful. Reasonably priced, good help available to unscramble things if needed. Very satisfied.

     Great value, reliable hosting, and a backend dashboard with everything you need to get going straight away. Also very much appreciate the free, one click SSL certificate and easy DNS config interface.

     Very helpful support.  Asked for help via email to get my site up and running and I had a response within 5 minutes.  I was able to quickly implement the advice and and my site is now live.

     I've been using hosting services for 30 years (since the days of AOL, Compuserve etc) and I have to say that Switchweb is without doubt the easiest company that I have worked with, with first-class support in terms of both speed and quality. I would recommend Switchweb to anyone wanting a reliable service.

     I've just recently joined Switchweb but am very impressed with the speed loading times and what is included for the price of the non-profit that I'm developing the website for but most of all the customer service which is very attentive and helpful.
