Final thoughts on EUK Host

Everything you need to host a business website, you can get it on EUK Host. Although the allocation of hard disk space between different plans – cPanel as well as Windows – does seem a bit random, but however much space you get, it should be enough for an average business. A good hosting environment. A free domain with every signup although you may have to sign up for an annual plan to be able to avail a new domain.
