Whether you’re hosting a simple website with email or unlimited websites on one plan, we have a solution that fits your needs.

Our web hosting plans are affordable and easy to use, with free email included and a free domain name for 1 and 2 year plans.
WordPress Hosting
WordPress hosting is a specialised type of hosting that is designed specifically for WordPress websites. Our WordPress hosting plans come pre-installed with the latest version of WordPress, free email and access to 1000’s of plugins and themes. Enjoy features like automatic backups, a free SSL certificate, and unlimited bandwidth. This option being perfect for those who want to focus on their website’s content rather than the technical details of hosting.
If you want even more time to focus on running your business, you can try our Managed WordPress plans. They include automatic WordPress and plugin updates, improved website performance and simple one-click restores should anything go wrong. What’s more, you can get the managed plans for the same price as our regular WordPress plans!

The WordPress hosting plans are optimised for WordPress performance and security, with automatic updates, backups, and malware scanning. Our WordPress hosting plans also include a free domain name on 1 and 2 year plans, a free SSL certificate, and unlimited bandwidth.
Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting
With our VPS hosting plans, you have your own virtual server that is not shared with other websites. This means that you have access to more resources, including CPU, RAM, and storage, which can improve your website’s performance.
Choose from Managed SSD VPS or Self-managed SSD VPS hosting. Both offer more flexibility and control over your hosting environment. With a self-managed plan, you’re responsible for managing everything from the set-up right through to the daily monitoring and maintenance. This means it’s best suited to those who have experience of running a server.
For those who don’t have experience of running a server, we have Managed VPS plans. Our server experts perform the initial set up and look after monitoring and backups for you.
All of our VPS hosting plans are a great choice for businesses that are growing and need more resources and performance than shared hosting can provide.
Best for: This is a great solution for someone who wants more control and flexibility over their web hosting environment, such as a web developer, a web designer, or an advanced user. The VPS plans are unmanaged and allow you to choose your own operating system (Linux or Windows), software, and configuration. The VPS plans offer more storage space, RAM, and CPU cores, than the web hosting or WordPress hosting plans.
So, which hosting option is right for you?
It depends on your specific needs and goals. If you’re just starting out and have a small website or personal blog, one of our Web Hosting plans may be the best option. For businesses that are growing and need more resources and performance, VPS hosting may be a better choice. Of course, if you have a WordPress website, our WordPress hosting plans provide a hassle-free option that is specifically tailored to WordPress websites.
