I haven't heard of them but their prices look a bit high.

If you can't get in then there's nothing you can do other than ask them for 
help: it seems that you can submit tickets to their issue tracking at 
http://support.studentwebhosting.co.uk/esupport/

Chances of refund are probably zero - check the T&Cs you've signed up for.
