Why use our managed hosting services?

Many businesses buy cheap hosting plans from large hosting providers, often realising after the first year the prices increase dramatically.

Take GoDaddy as an example, their one website economy plan is just £3.99 per month for the first year, but then it goes up to £7.99 per month plus the cost of £79.99 for an SSL certificate, and it doesn't include backups, those are extra! After your first year, you'll be paying over £175 for a lesser service than our Essential hosting at £119, as backups are included!

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.

Our prices may seem more expensive at first, but in the long term, you'll be saving year after year, and we guarantee that our servers perform much better than those of larger hosting companies!

It's all very well going with one of the larger providers if you know what you're doing, but if you're not sure how to install your website, make backups, or keep the server software up to the latest version so that it will work with your site, you will eventually become stuck.

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 so if something should go wrong we can revert the site to a backup the same day.

Better than the big hosting companies

Check our case study that proves how much faster our hosting is compared to FastHosts, GoDaddy and other 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 many resources. 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, which is easy to scale to accommodate peak demand.

Managed WordPress Hosting and Maintenance

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.

Fully managed WordPress

Managed Joomla Hosting and Maintenance

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.
