Our platform runs on 100% green hosting. Our green credentials
Is your WordPress hosting based in the UK?
Yes. Every WordPress site is hosted in UK data centres, which means faster pages for UK visitors and your data kept within UK jurisdiction for UK GDPR.
Is this managed WordPress hosting?
It includes the parts most people want from managed WordPress hosting: automatic core updates, one-click staging, daily backups, WordPress caching and malware scanning, at shared hosting prices. You keep full control of your plugins and themes, and our UK team helps by email and ticket.
What is the difference between WordPress hosting and web hosting?
Both run on the same UK platform at the same prices. WordPress plans add one-click staging, automatic core updates, the WordPress Manager dashboard and WordPress-tuned caching. Read the full comparison.
How much does WordPress hosting cost in the UK?
Our WordPress plans are £39, £49 and £59 a year, billed annually, with staging, backups, SSL and email included. Dedicated managed WordPress hosts often charge monthly fees that add up to considerably more.
Can you move my existing WordPress site?
Yes, free of charge. Our team moves your WordPress site and mailboxes for you, and your old hosting stays live until everything is checked.
Can I run a WooCommerce shop?
Yes. Hosting is PCI compliant, and the Business plan suits most small shops. For large catalogues or busy stores, Enterprise adds unlimited storage and bandwidth. WooCommerce hosting guide.
Does the price go up when I renew?
Not with a year-two jump. There is no introductory discount, so you pay our standard price from the start. Like any service, renewal prices may occasionally be adjusted in line with inflation.
