Easily Review 2024 – Is It Worth Your Money?

Easily is a U.K.-based hosting provider that started life as a domain registrar, Easywebnames.com, back in 1999. Easily itself was later launched with the primary purpose of providing affordable and simple hosting solutions, though they still provide domain name registration services and see themselves as one of the pioneers that made domains low-cost. Today, they serve customers all over the world but are still focused on the U.K. market.

Features and Ease of Use

Easily caters to the needs of users with low to mid-range requirements. While their features are nothing groundbreaking, there aren’t any big gaps in their offering. They provide:

• Domain registration services
• Webmail manager with a calendar and push email tools
• The ability to create a store on your website

Some of their more outstanding features include:

• Advanced Marketing Tools: Available in higher-end e-commerce plans only, these tools let you create newsletters, discounts, coupons, and more
• Website Creator: Their in-house website builder comes with a few handy features like voting widgets, multiple themes, map integration, image editors, and so on
• Choose between Linux or Windows hosting: With very similar plans on both platforms, you can really choose whichever is your preference

Except for a hiccup when they switched portals, it’s pretty straightforward to use the Easily management tools. However, the graphics are a bit dated by now and it’s due for an overhaul. If you choose to use WordPress with the one-click installation feature on your hosting solution, you won’t really need the control panel much. The same can be said of their other tools, such as the e-shop, website creator, and webmail tools.

Pricing and Support

Luckily, it’s quite easy to choose a pricing plan on Easily. They’ve kept it deliberately simple with hosting broadly split into either Linux or WordPress hosting with three plans each. All plans are billed yearly.

Both beginner plans are ideal for small websites or blogs, advanced plans are geared more towards small businesses who need a bit more resources, and professional hosting is for larger businesses with high computing demands. All plans come with unlimited bandwidth, one-click WordPress installations, and a hosting manager control panel.

The Linux plans work as follows:

• Beginner: 1GB of web space and a single MySQL database
• Advanced: 5GB of web space and two MySQL databases
• Professional: 20GB web space and five MySQL databases

The Windows plans are very similar:

• Beginner: 1GB of disk space
• Advanced: 5GB of disk space
• Professional: 20GB of disk space

There aren’t any free plans, but there is a 30-day money back guarantee. There are also paid subscriptions to their website creator tool, webmail, or online shop tools. If you need any of these, remember to calculate it into your total costs.

Easily offers phone support in the U.K., but it’s available only during office hours on weekdays and for a few hours on Saturdays. The staff is generally friendly and helpful. However, they sometimes face resource constraints, resulting in slow response times, especially when there is an issue impacting a large number of customers simultaneously. For instance, when they transitioned to a new portal a few years ago, many customers experienced difficulties accessing their websites for a period of time.
