Brightbox have been exceptional since the day that we signed up. Incredibly responsive support and uptime so good that I don't even think about it.
Really love using the Brightbox control panel to manage our cloud servers, ips, firewall and cloud storage. Much easier to use than Amazon AWS. Also customer support is just excellent, with incredible response times.
I’m not really an ops-guy, but the simplicity of the interface and the helpful Brightbox team made me think that I could do it. It’s been 5 years!
We have used Brightbox for the last 8 years and have been grateful for the rock solid infrastructure, expertise and thoughtful support they have provided. Thank you!
