Our unique web and email hosting
We set up our own virtual private server (VPS) in 2013 after searching for many years for a reliable shared hosting provider. It was a great success and in 2015 we opened it to the public and now manage several servers worldwide. Just look at everything we include, even on our cheapest "basics" plan!
No other host comes close - if you don't believe us, ask them about the following features. We'll give you a year's free hosting if you can find anyone comparable!
- We take care of everything technical. Since we're also an IT consultancy we can even fix your computers and help you get connected.
- We regularly update all sites including WordPress plugins to keep you safe.
- We include free daily encrypted off-site backups to multiple locations, your storage or ours. Where possible they are "immutable" to protect against ransomware.
- Webmail is provided so you can access your emails from any web browser if you need to.
- No annoying limits on storage size or bandwidth. No advertising. No bots. No popups.
- We focus on reliable email delivery (in both directions) even if that means letting through some borderline spam. No "junk" folders for messages to get lost in.
- 24/7 support for urgent server problems, even on public holidays. There's a status page for viewing known problems and expected resolution times. Phone support is also available for less urgent problems or for help with computers (generally same day response, 7 days a week).
- We will register and renew your domain name(s) for you, or you can "bring your own".
- We host sites on fast virtual private servers with redundant power and network connections, a choice of worldwide locations with DDoS protection available, all as environmentally friendly and secure as possible. We use OpenLiteSpeed for fastest possible caching.
- All contact forms have advanced spam protection available (no annoying CAPTCHAs!).
- We can help businesses attract customers with advanced analytics (no cookies), SEO, mailing lists and social media integration.
- We can also help you meet legal requirements such as GDPR compliance, payment security and accessibility.
- Customers can use our Nextcloud installation to store and share documents, address books and calendars, without surrendering privacy to Google, Microsoft or Apple. Compatible with all the usual phone apps.
Prices
Our hosting plans have changed in 2025. Existing contracts will be honoured but when your hosting comes up for renewal you may be offered a new price. There is no charge for moving to a different plan or cancelling. All plans are billed annually in advance, but will be refunded in full if cancelled within 28 days.
Just the basics - reduced to £50/year
This plan is deliberately made as cheap as possible, for people who simply want somewhere safe to keep their emails and/or a basic "shopfront" website to show visitors (and search engines) who they are and how to find them.
- One low-maintenance website and/or one mailbox
- No limit on size, traffic or "alias" addresses
- All the unique features above
It might be our most basic plan, but just look at everything we include! No other host comes close.
Personal - £100/year
Our most popular plan, for people with multiple websites or mailboxes. It's also for people who occasionally need help updating their websites, or for websites that need regular maintenance. Despite the name it's no problem to host friends and family or a small business on this plan, as long as the content is your own and there's just one account contact and annual bill. You can even host pictures, sound clips, videos or documents.
- All of the above, plus multiple websites and mailboxes allowed
- Friends and family can be hosted, provided support is through you
- Regular website maintenance and help with updates included
Business - £150/year
This hosting plan is for commercial sites with more complex requirements such as an online shop, contact forms, mailing lists, a booking system or social media integration.
- All of the above, plus support and maintenance for eCommerce features
Additional IT help and help with business analytics, marketing and compliance are available on all plans, charged at £50/hour.
