HostingSet up and looked after by us
Three plans, from a shared server for a one-page site to a whole machine of your own. We set it up and keep an eye on it. Pay monthly, or pay for a year and it costs less.

02 The differenceIn plain English
All three put your site on the internet. What changes is how much of the machine is yours.
Shared
Your site sits on a server alongside other sites, and they share its processor and memory. It's the lowest-cost way to be online and plenty for a site with steady, modest traffic. The trade-off is that a very busy neighbor can slow things for a moment.
GOOD FOR: BASIC AND STARTER SITES, BROCHURE SITES, PORTFOLIOS.VPS
A virtual private server is a slice of a larger machine with its own resources set aside for you (2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM on our plan). Other sites' traffic doesn't eat into it, and there's room for a staging copy to try changes before they go live.
GOOD FOR: BUSY BUSINESS SITES, STORES AND SITES WITH BOOKINGS.Dedicated
A physical server that runs only your sites (8 cores and 64 GB RAM on our plan). The most power and control, and the highest cost. It earns its keep when the site is the business: a web app, a busy store, anything that has to stay quick at its busiest hour.
GOOD FOR: WEB APPS, HIGH-TRAFFIC STORES AND SITES THAT NEED HEADROOM AT PEAK TIMES.Answer the three questions and we'll point to a plan. Most small business sites need Shared.
Basic and Starter sites, brochure sites, portfolios.
Ask about Shared hosting →Busy business sites, stores and sites with bookings.
Ask about VPS hosting →Web apps, high-traffic stores and sites that need headroom at peak times.
Ask about Dedicated server →| If your site | You need |
|---|---|
| Is one information site, under 10,000 visits a month (most small businesses) | Shared hosting |
| Sells online, takes bookings, runs two to five sites, or gets 10,000 to 100,000 visits a month | VPS hosting |
| Is a web app with logins, runs more than five sites, or gets over 100,000 visits a month | Dedicated server |
Not sure about your traffic? Start on Shared hosting. Moving up later is quick, and we handle it.
04 Every planWhat doesn't change
Every plan is backed up without you doing anything.
The padlock in the address bar, set up and renewed for you.
We get an alert when the site stops responding.
We set up the plan and move your existing site across.
Questions go to the people who look after your site.
Yes, it's included on every plan. Tell us where the site is hosted now and we'll plan the move with you.
You move up a plan, from Shared hosting to VPS hosting to Dedicated server. Each step gives the site more of the machine to itself. Tell us when things are getting busy and we'll plan the switch with you, at a quiet time of day.
Yes. The domain stays registered in your name. Point it at your plan yourself, or give us access and we'll set up the records. If you don't have one yet, we can register it for you, in your name.
