Hosting is only cheap until something goes wrong.

Budget hosting is fine until the site slows to a crawl, email stops arriving or a hacked plugin takes you offline, and the support line cannot tell you why.

We host websites on UK servers that we manage ourselves. Because we also build websites, we can fix problems in the website itself, not just restart the server and hope. One team, one point of contact.

Included with managed hosting.

The essentials, properly configured and looked after.

  • UK servers

    Your website and data hosted in the UK, close to your customers.

  • Configured for speed

    Server software kept current and set up for your website, with caching where the site supports it.

  • SSL certificates

    Certificates installed and renewed automatically, with HTTPS across the site.

  • Automated backups

    Regular backups kept off the live server, with a tested way to restore them.

  • Business email

    Email on your own domain, set up on your phones and computers.

  • Support from the builders

    Help from the people who understand your website, rather than a generic ticket queue.

A calm, carefully planned move.

Moving hosts should not mean downtime or lost email. We take an inventory of your domain, DNS records, website, databases and mailboxes, prepare and test the new environment, and agree a cutover window with a rollback ready.

Most clients barely notice the switch, apart from a faster website afterwards.

  • Full inventory of DNS, mail and site files
  • Staging tested before the switch
  • Rollback plan and post-move checks

Looked after, not just switched on.

We keep the server software patched, watch for problems, renew certificates and check backups actually restore. If your site slows down, we look at the application, the database and the caching, then fix the cause.

For busier ecommerce stores and custom applications, we can scope dedicated resources, staging environments and deployment pipelines. See infrastructure engineering.

  • Security updates and monitoring
  • Performance investigated at the application level
  • Staging and deployment options for larger sites

How a project works.

A clear sequence with review points, so you always know what is happening and what is needed from you.

  1. Step 1

    Review

    We look at your current site, traffic, email and domain setup to recommend the right hosting.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare

    We build and test the new environment, and lower DNS timings ahead of the move.

  3. Step 3

    Move

    Files, databases and mailboxes transfer in an agreed window, with a rollback ready.

  4. Step 4

    Look after

    Updates, backups, monitoring and support continue for as long as you are with us.

Questions, answered.

Anything else you would like to know? Ask Glenn directly

Can you host a website built by someone else?

Usually, yes. We review the website, its software versions and dependencies first so we can host it safely and agree what support is included.

Will our email stop working during the move?

We plan DNS and mailbox migration carefully to avoid interruption. The exact approach depends on your current provider and whether email is moving with the website.

Where are your servers?

Our hosting runs on servers in the UK. Your website and data stay in the UK.

Do you offer hosting on its own, without a website project?

Yes, if your site is a good fit for our platform. We will review it first and tell you honestly if a different setup would suit it better.
