What £5 a month covers

Everything a small business site needs to stay online, secure and quick, without you having to think about servers.

Free migration

We copy your site from your current host, test it on our servers and only switch the domain over once it’s working. Most moves happen with no downtime at all.

SSL included

A free SSL certificate is installed and renewed automatically, so your site always shows the padlock and never gets a browser warning.

Daily backups

Your site is backed up every night and an encrypted copy is kept off the server. If something breaks, it can be put back.

Security updates

The server is patched automatically, password logins are switched off and repeated break-in attempts are blocked before they get anywhere.

Fast UK hosting

Hosted in a London data centre on a modern nginx setup, with compression and browser caching, so pages load quickly for UK visitors.

Help from real people

Questions go to the team that runs the server, by email or WhatsApp. No call centre and no ticket number.

Is hosting only right for you?

Hosting is for sites that are already built. If you also want design changes or a new site, one of the plans will suit you better.

Hosting only suits you if
  • You already have a website you’re happy with and want it somewhere reliable.
  • Your current host has put the price up, or support has stopped answering.
  • You have a WordPress site that needs backups and updates handled properly. That’s our £10 WordPress hosting.
  • Your web designer has moved on and you need someone to look after the server.
Look at a plan instead if
  • You want a new website, or regular changes to your current one. Sites is £10 a month and includes the build.
  • You want to take bookings, quotes or payments. See Trades or Health & Beauty.
  • Your site is on Wix or Squarespace. Those can’t be moved, but we can rebuild it.

Moving your site to us

Three steps, and you don’t need to do anything technical.

  1. Step 1

    Send us the details

    Your web address and a login for your current host, or a copy of the files. If you’re not sure what you have, we’ll work it out.

  2. Step 2

    We copy and test it

    Your site is set up on our servers and checked page by page while the old one stays live.

  3. Step 3

    We switch it over

    The domain is pointed at the new server and the SSL certificate goes on. Your visitors won’t notice a thing.

Common questions

Anything else, message us on WhatsApp.

What kind of websites can you host?
Static HTML sites and most PHP sites are £5 a month. WordPress sites are £10 a month, because they need core, theme and plugin updates as well. If your site was built on Wix, Squarespace or Shopify it can’t be exported, but we can rebuild it for you.
Will my site go offline during the move?
Usually not. The site is copied and tested on our servers first, and the domain is only switched once it works, so the old copy keeps serving visitors in the meantime.
Do you host email as well?
No, hosting covers the website. Your email can stay where it is, and if you’re moving everything we can help you set up mailboxes with Google Workspace or Zoho.
Do I need to move my domain to you?
No. You can keep your domain wherever it’s registered and just point it at our server. We can manage the DNS for you if that’s easier.
What’s the difference between hosting and the Sites plan?
Hosting keeps the site you already have online for £5 a month. The Sites plan is £10 a month and also includes a new website built for you, your domain and a couple of content updates each month.
Can I add SEO to hosting?
Yes. Ongoing SEO is £10 a month on top and works on any site we host.
Is there a contract?
No. Hosting runs month to month with no setup fee, and you can leave whenever you like. We’ll hand over a full copy of your site if you do.
