Great customer support, competitive pricing after first year considering what weare.ie has on offer to the registrar’s, very attractive and excellent first year special offer on .ie domains!

Highly recommended. Excellent service.

I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone that is looking for hosting that is reliable, affordable & to know that the support is there to help gives such peace of mind.

Smarthost. Unmatched, Irish-based customer service.

They are always available and very calm, patient and knowledgeable so I often think I should be paying a premium for the peace of mind that you have that they’re looking after everything.

If you’re looking at getting a new website developed for your business, talk to Zara and Ian at Studio17 and SmartHost. Great team to work with and a fabulous design service. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Wonderful company to work with. Competent, profession, and highly responsive. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

The best registrar I have ever experienced.

The support staff are next-level. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, patient, quick-to-reply and beyond helpful!

Highly recommend SmartHost. Speed is unreal and customer service is beyond amazing, their system is easy to use and they’re just very nice to deal with.

Amazing love these guys!

I use Smarthost for email hosting. I spent some time looking for a reliable and affordable system. Smarthost really stood out, Ian is extremely helpful and out of everyone I contacted he was the only one to follow up with a call. The package is great value, it was really easy to set up and Ian has been really helpful again on the technical side of things. I would highly recommend using Smarthost.

Great website hosting and domains, Ian was very helpful.
