We have been with Namesco since putting our business online in 2007. We had all our domains with them, as well as Dedicated Server service.
Technical Support is great but nowadays Customer Service and Billing could not find their own arses with both hands.
They failed to renew one of our domains despite having a Direct Debit mandate and valid Card details, and the renewal method set to 'Auto'.
When our domain suddenly stopped working I asked them what was wrong and was told I had failed to renew it so it went up for sale.
Even worse, another hosting company now owned it and it was up for sale - at a premium price of $280.
When I asked how this came to be they said they had emailed me about a renewal failure. I replied that I had received no such email, can they tell me when it was sent.
I was told they could not find any trace of emails (from 2 months ago) but they must have sent them, so it could only be my fault for not having enough funds in the bank - the [read more...]

I wish I had seen these reviews before using these jokers.
Used them for my .uk domain name only as they were cheap, yeah cheap being the right word!
My domain expired, on 14/12/2019, as the price they were charging to renew was far too much. After 90 days normally domains are released and available again for purchase by anyone. So 1 month passes and I check whois, still shows as registered to me, but the expiry date is 14/01/2020, I thought it was perhaps a mistake so waited another month. In February I checked again and it shows the expiry date as 14/02/2020. I contacted them to find out what was going on. I was told the expiry date is obviously correct if that's what the domain registry shows and I have to wait a further 90 days to purchase it. Now more than 90 days have passed since the ACTUAL expiry date in December and I check the domain on whois today, still listed as me, but the expiry date now shows as 14/04/2020.

Shocking service. I went on their website and cancelled all renewals. I checked twice and received confirmation that I had done.
However they still took the money. I contacted them and he said “No nothing I can do it’s been renewed” he didn’t want to help and blamed me. I will report this as unauthorised transaction and let the banks sort it out.

Editorial Review
Namesco is part of REGISTER, Services: Web HostingDomain RegistrationWebsite Builder | Redirected domains: phase8.net 123domainnames.co.uk ukdomains.com serve360.com hosts.co.uk xsession.com | Redirected domains: amenworld.comWith an experience of over 18 years in the hosting field, Namesco has web hosting solutions and services for individuals, businesses or developers. They are proud to have over 650, 000 websites hosted with their company.
Among the products provided by Namesco, we can mention:
- Shared Hosting;
- Virtual Private Servers;
- Dedicated Servers;
- Reseller Hosting
- Email Hosting;
- Website Builder
- SSL Certificates;
- Domain Registration;
Shared hosting plans come with a free domain name (you can choose from a large number of extensions). With all these packages, free email is included which means that shared hosting solutions are all equipped with IMAP mailboxes. These are available on both Linux and Windows operating systems. Integrated within the plan, customers can find reseller hosting tools. A difference between Namesco and other great hosting companies is that their packages are rather limited in terms of hosted domains or email accounts. However, their Premium plan provides a good series of unlimited features.
Dedicated servers are divided in:
- Managed dedicated servers;
- WordPress dedicated servers;
- Magento dedicated servers.
Managed dedicated servers are speed optimized and updates are made automatically. These servers have included caching systems such as Redis or OPache; vulnerability detectors such as VCTR Pro, as well as Apache HTTP server and Nginx to have complete control over your content management system.
They only make available one reseller hosting plan. This works on SSD storage, and it offers unlimited hosted accounts or email accounts on both Windows and Linux. Customers can customize their packages and prices and Namesco promises no hidden prices.
VPS hosting is fully managed and plans work on the latest DDR4 RAM memory, Intel Xeon E5 processors, as well as latest SSD storage.
Price & Cost
They offer reasonable and fair prices for their packages. When it comes to pricing, Namesco is pretty transparent.
There is no mention of a money-back guarantee. The absence of such a detail can make potential customers change their mind when considering buying a product.
Reliability
Namesco provides the standard uptime guarantee on the market which is 99.9%.
Data Center
Namesco is a hosting company situated in England & Wales.
Customer Support
Technical assistance can be found on e-mail and on the phone. Namesco team also provides online tutorials and guides to help customers build their websites. You can also find them on social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter).
Control Panel
Namesco uses the two leading control panels in the hosting industry – cPanel and Plesk. This is good news and a good advantage as many customers who are already familiar with web hosting prefer these over other types.
Conclusion
Namesco promises powerful web solutions based on a reliable network. They provide a wide range of services and many essential features to manage your website. They do not mention any money-back policy but they do have a good reputation for stability, a user-friendly platform and flexibility.Server locations:

This company does not respond to emails ever. Their sitebuilder is horrible to use and displays no consideration to the end user. They were quite cheap but provide nothing for that money as far as I can tell. 2 and a half years in I'm still trying to leave them, yet they are still grasping my domain name and not publishing my website.

Names.co.uk arrogant and unhelpful
do not use them - they don't use email at all -
when you call to cancel or discuss your account they don't want to know -
I cancelled my service in early November by both calling their offices and login a service report in this regard - they completely ignored my cancelation and debited my credit card anyway.
Completely underhand practice and do not respond via email only via their support panel -
DO NOT USE THEM OR YOU WILL BE OVERCHARGED AND NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE.
COMPLETELY UNETHICAL !

A dreadful company full of almost hidden and over-priced charges and miserable [...]
Namesco are a bunch of rip-off merchants.I bought a .org domain from them (Iwas new to the game then) which sot me £9 + VAT, so it was already over-priced.
Compare Namesco with a company such as Namecheap and you won't want to deal with Namesco like I did, stupidly, when first starting out. I f I had know then what I know now, I would never have used Namesco.
When I came to renew it, they wanted £29 + VAT!! That's a 300% INCREASE but if I leave them it will cost me another £12 'transfer fee'!
I complained and received a call from some woman who tried to justify their prices and claimed also that she was unaware of the bad press her company are getting. She promised to email me with a solution but has not done so, despite repeated contact from me.
Seriously, don't go near these people and please, warn others to avoid them at any opportunity, They will rob you blind if you let them.

They are rip off merchants. I signed up to Namesco 2 years. I decided not to use the domain name. 2 years later they take renewal fee out of my account without any authorisiation from me whatsoever. I feel like I've been robbed. Unbelievable CRAP SERVICE. No customer contact or service over 2years and then they take money out of my account without any authorisation from me. They're thieving robbers.
Andy Walters (andy@a...)
Choose the right account and you get what you pay for. Recommended. as far as I am concerned. Have been with Namesco since they took over my old host Smartchoice back in 1998. Have a Designer Plus account with around twenty Linux hosted domains. As yet, never had a problem that wasn't solved as rapidly as reasonably possible and apart from a spate of recent denial of service attacks have had no unforeseen problems. Haven't bothered comparing prices elsewhere due to the dreaded upheaval of moving but they were good enough to offer me the same annual hosting discount as they were offering to new clients last year, can't complain.

Paul (atrevidopaul@g...)
Used to be good but lately i´ve had nothing but problems with them and my clients are getting angry which makes me look bad.
If you need to get in touch with sopport, prepare yourself to get very angry and spend a lot of time and money just to speak to someone, who will usually try his hardest to throw blame on someone else and want to get rid of you.
I´ve had accounts deleted for no reason and has taken days to put back amongst numerous other problems. Also, the hosting plans are not great as not all hosting accounts have SQL so if you are in the wrong bracket you will pay dearly for it.
You´ve been warned.

I was previously a satisfied XSession customer but since this shower have taken over things have gone downhill.
It is now Monday evening and I unable to ftp to my site. When reporting the problem they said the problem is due to a Denial of Service attack on Sunday. The email said that will be all they can tell me about it, as if to say "don't bother us again just go away and put up with it".
