You’ve put time and effort into your website, but who will host it?

Your hosting provider is like the foundation of your online home, and it supports everything from page load times to security and uptime. Choosing the right website hosting plan and provider is crucial to ensuring that your website performs at its best and provides a seamless experience for your visitors.

Let us handle the hosting while you focus on running your business.

Your website is an essential component of your online presence and business success. The location, speed, and security of your website’s hosting can have a significant impact on its search engine ranking and overall performance.

Search engine algorithms take into account how fast a website is and the location of the server relative to the business location. Therefore, if your business is based in the UK, it is crucial to host your site in the UK to ensure optimal performance and visibility in local search results.

We offer a UK-based, fully secured managed hosting package that provides the protection and reliability you need to keep your website running smoothly. Our hosting package includes regular CMS updates to prevent security threats and compatibility issues, as well as daily backups to ensure that your data is always safe and recoverable in case of any issues.

Any questions?
Here are some things we think you might want to know.

  • What is website hosting?

    Website hosting is a service that allows your business to make your websites accessible online. It involves storing the files, data, and content of your website.

  • Do you provide a dedicated server for our website?

    Yes. We provide a dedicated website server specifically for our managed websites, meaning your site is hosted within an environment that we control and actively manage rather than being placed on a generic shared hosting platform. This gives us greater control over security, performance, updates and server configuration, while allowing us to monitor and maintain the environment specifically around the needs of the websites we manage.

  • What is included in your managed hosting service?

    Our managed hosting service is designed to give you everything you need to keep your website secure, reliable and running smoothly, all covered within one straightforward annual fee. This includes website hosting, server management, security monitoring, backups, SSL, quarterly WordPress and plugin updates, performance monitoring and ongoing technical support. If you have a question, need some advice or experience an issue with your website, you can contact our team directly by email or telephone without worrying about additional hosting or support charges.

  • How can you help migrate my website to your hosting?

    We can manage the entire website migration process for you, making the move to our hosting as straightforward and disruption-free as possible. We’ll take care of transferring your website files and database, configuring the new hosting environment, checking DNS settings and testing the website before it goes live. We’ll also carry out post-migration checks to make sure everything is working correctly, including forms, links, functionality and website performance. Our aim is to make the transition seamless, with minimal downtime and no unnecessary hassle for you.

  • What is Cloudflare?

    Cloudflare is a global network that helps protect and improve the performance of websites. We use Cloudflare as part of our managed hosting setup to provide an additional layer of security between your website and the internet. It can help protect against malicious traffic, automated attacks and other online threats, while also helping your website load quickly and reliably. We manage the Cloudflare setup as part of your hosting service, so you don’t need to worry about configuring or maintaining it yourself.

  • What is Cyber Essentials

    Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves against common online security threats. It provides a practical framework covering areas such as secure configuration, access controls, software updates, firewalls and malware protection.

    For businesses, achieving Cyber Essentials demonstrates that appropriate basic security measures are in place to help protect systems, devices and data. It can also be an important requirement when working with certain organisations or bidding for contracts where recognised cybersecurity standards are required.

We’re not in the
business of ordinary!

It’s not just about what we create; it’s about the stories we tell, the emotions we evoke, and the impact we make.
