Best for UK shared cPanel hosting with mailboxes and backups
Heart Internet sells UK shared cPanel hosting on NVMe storage with backups, SSL and mailboxes, from £5.99 a month before VAT. Plans cap websites at 1, 2, 3 or 10 and bandwidth at 50GB to 300GB a month, and the discount is for the first year only.
Who Heart Internet is for
- Fits if you want UK-based shared hosting with 5GB mailboxes included
- Works for one to a few small sites that stay under the bandwidth caps
Who Heart Internet is not for
- Tight if you host many sites, as Plus allows 1 website and the top plan 10
- Tight if you get traffic: bandwidth is capped at 50GB to 300GB a month
- Watch out: prices exclude VAT, and the 50% off and free UK domain are for year one on yearly billing
- Watch out: support is live chat and tickets, with no phone line stated
Why Heart Internet gets a 1.6

Keep Heart Internet, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Heart Internet you would be making servers kept running, patched and backed up for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 94 of the 122 other web hosts grade higher. It costs $96.31 a year.
What you could not
- Servers kept running, patched and backed up for you.
- Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
What this rests on. Heart Internet’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
