Why use our managed WordPress hosting services?
![big screen graphic big screen graphic](https://swsweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/big-screen-graphic.png)
Many businesses buy cheap hosting plans from GoDaddy and similar large hosting providers, often realising after the first year, the prices increase dramatically.
We've spent years dealing with all the major hosting providers on behalf of clients and finding their initially low prices don't live up to the performance or help and support most businesses need.
It's all very well if you know what you are doing, but if you're not sure how to install your website, how to make backups, or keep the server software up to the latest version to work with your site, you will eventually become unstuck.
Our service means we take care of that for you; we'll deal with your site migration, moving it to one of our UK servers (the migration is free!), monitor it 24/7, set up email addresses for you and ensure backups are taken and stored remotely.
Better than the big hosting companies

Many big hosting providers store hundreds, if not thousands of websites on their shared servers. If one of them uses a lot of resources, yours can suffer. We cap the number of sites per server; higher traffic sites are hosted on dedicated servers, ensuring the shared servers host only sites that do not take too much resource. This gives your site maximum performance at competitive costs, often cheaper yearly than GoDaddy when SSL and backups are included.
All our managed WordPress hosting packages offer regular backups, free SSL certificates and domain name system (DNS) management; we aim to take the everyday worry out of web hosting at an affordable cost. If the hosting has issues, we'll fix it at no cost to you; plus, if you pay monthly, you can cancel with just 30 days' notice, but we hope that's never necessary!
We host all our sites in a cloud network, meaning it's easy to scale to help with peaks in demand.

Managed WordPress Hosting and Maintenance
![winning grpahic winning grpahic](https://swsweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/winning-grpahic.png)
WordPress websites are the most popular sites found on the internet, with approximately one-third of all sites built using WordPress. Because of this, WordPress sites are also the most commonly hacked, so choosing the best WordPress hosting provider to look after your site and offer the best security is essential.
Our servers are built with WordPress in mind and utilise a specialist WordPress Web Application Firewall to help secure your site and increase its speed and performance.
Bundle hosting with our WordPress maintenance plan, and our WordPress experts will help ensure your site remains safe, secure, and fully managed.
Managed Joomla Hosting and Maintenance
![screen button graphic screen button graphic](https://swsweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/screen-button-graphic.png)
Although a smaller percentage of websites use Joomla, it remains one of the most popular Content Management Systems, especially for more advanced and larger sites.
Again using a specialist Web Application Firewall and servers set up to run Joomla sites along with a Joomla maintenance plan, we can help ensure your site remains safe and secure.
