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 it 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

Good to know

Good for

  • UK small businesses that want hosting, email and a domain together
  • People comfortable with cPanel who need a few small sites
  • Anyone who wants to pay monthly instead of committing to a year

Worth knowing

  • Plans are limited to 1, 2, 3 or 10 websites, and bandwidth is capped at 50GB to 300GB a month.
  • Prices exclude VAT, and the 50% first-year discount and free UK domain apply to yearly billing for the first year only.
  • Monthly billing renews at the same £5.99 to £15.99 a month; a £1 first month is advertised for the Plus plan.
  • The money-back guarantee is 30 days and support is by live chat and tickets rather than a stated phone line.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

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.
