Website hosting with us means your site runs on our fully managed WordPress platform for £45 plus VAT a month, or £450 plus VAT a year. That covers the SSL certificate, a monthly AI Health Check, automatic weekly software updates by our Fleet Updater, nightly checks, security and backups, with unlimited pages and e-commerce included, and no restriction on the designs or plugins you can use.
We host all our sites on our fully managed WordPress platform with an easy to use content management system.
Some website hosting platforms are totally locked down. They only allow you to use templated designs from their own library, and you can only use limited functions and features developed specifically for their platform.
WordPress on the other hand is an open source service. In its various forms it is now used to host over a third of the world’s websites. Developers are continually creating functions, features and plugins for WordPress, specifically to improve how they behave and work. It means that we have far more control over how websites are designed and the features and functions we can integrate. It also means we have more control over how our web platforms and servers are set up.
You can login from anywhere using any browser to edit the site – you don’t need any special software or technical skills.
E-commerce via Woo-Commerce is easily integrated and includes easy to use tools that enable you to sell physical or digital products online (all you need is a Paypal or Stripe account to process your credit card payments, which can normally be set up and operational “same day”).
WordPress includes built-in search engine optimisation tools, that ensure your site is properly indexed by Google and other leading engines and directories. It also includes a detailed site stats feature, that enables you to tell at a glance how your site is performing.
You can also set up unlimited users, either as editors or behind a password protected area for members to privately access specific sections or pages.

Security and AI Website Management
Every WordPress website on our servers is looked after by our Fleet Updater, a system we built ourselves to keep websites secure without breaking them. Early every Sunday morning it installs the latest WordPress and plugin updates and checks each website still works, putting the previous version back automatically if anything breaks. Every night it checks every website again, including its security certificate. Every ten minutes it reads error logs for problems a visitor would hit, and it alerts us the same day a serious security flaw is published for a plugin you use.
Hosting with us also includes our AI driven Website Management Service: a monthly AI Health Check that finds and fixes new issues, works on your Google rankings and keeps your AI chat assistant up to date, all within the £45 plus VAT a month. On our servers the Health Check includes inside security checks too, comparing every WordPress and plugin file with the official copies and searching for malware. See our AI Website Health Check, ongoing AI website management and customised AI chat assistant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you move my existing website from my current host?
Yes. We migrate the website, the domain and the email. The old site stays live until the new one is working properly, so there is no gap.
Will my website go down while it is moved?
No. The move is planned so the site stays reachable throughout, and DNS changes are only made once everything has been tested.
Who keeps WordPress and the plugins up to date?
We do, as part of the hosting. Our Fleet Updater installs updates every Sunday, checks the website still works and rolls back anything that breaks. Out of date plugins are the most common way a WordPress site gets hacked.
What if my current provider stops trading?
We can usually recover a website, domain and mailboxes even after the original provider has gone. It is worth contacting us quickly if that happens.
