Managed WordPress hosting

Hosting, domain and email.
One place to ring about all of it.

WordPress hosting tuned by the people who built your site, on UK servers, with the domain and mailboxes handled in the same conversation. No support tickets, no queue, no being told it is a plugin problem.

01 / What you are actually renting

Fast, protected, backed up
somewhere else entirely.

Every item here is standard on our monthly plans. Nothing is a premium add-on that appears on the invoice three months later.

Speed

NVMe SSD servers, no throttling

Current-generation hardware with solid state storage. We do not cap the memory or disk activity your site can use, which is how budget hosts keep costs down and how sites end up crawling at 9am.

Reach

Content delivery network included

A copy of your site sits in over 200 locations through AWS CloudFront. A visitor in Sydney gets it from Sydney rather than waiting on a round trip to London.

Uptime

99.9%, and you can check ours

Our own site runs on the same platform and its uptime record is public. Anyone can quote a figure in a brochure, so have a look at the real one.

Security

Web application firewall

WordPress is the most attacked platform on the web purely because it is the most used. A firewall sits in front of your site and turns that traffic away before it reaches the login page.

Security

Malware scanning and clean-up

Regular scans across your files and database. If something does get in, we remove it and repair the damage rather than sending you a link to a guide.

Encryption

SSL certificate at no cost

Included, installed and renewed automatically. Plenty of hosts still charge yearly for the padlock browsers now insist on.

Recovery

Backups kept off-site

Daily copies stored miles from the servers running your site. Backups held on the same machine as the website are no use on the day that machine is the problem.

Fair use

Unlimited visitors and bandwidth

A good month should not trigger an overage charge. If a post takes off or a campaign lands, you hear about it from your sales figures, not from us.

Updates

WordPress and plugins kept current

Core, theme and plugin updates applied and checked, so a security fix released on Tuesday is on your site rather than sitting in a notification you never log in to see.

“The transfer process was quick, faultless and they kept us fully informed throughout the process.”

02 / An honest comparison

You can host a WordPress site for a few pounds a month. Here is the difference.

Budget hosting is not a scam. It is simply unmanaged, which means every job below becomes yours. If you enjoy that sort of thing, genuinely, go for it.

Budget shared hosting

Your job, every month

Watching for WordPress and plugin updates, and fixing what an update breaks
Noticing the site is down, usually because a customer mentions it
Backups you set up yourself, stored next to the site they are meant to save
Chat support that resets the conversation each time you come back
Resource caps, bandwidth limits and an SSL certificate on the invoice
A renewal price roughly triple the one that got you in
Hosted with Web X

Our job, every month

Updates applied and tested by the team that built your site
Monitoring that tells us before it tells your customers
Daily off-site backups, and we do the restoring
Darren’s mobile number, and someone briefed on your site when he is away
Firewall, malware scanning, SSL and CDN, all included
One monthly figure, and the site still belongs to you
03 / The rest of the plumbing

Domains and email, sorted in the same conversation.

Your domain name

It is how customers say your business out loud, so it wants to be short, memorable and spellable over the phone. The obvious ones are often taken, and we will find you the best available option rather than talking you into a strange spelling you will regret.

Registration and renewals are handled for you, and the domain is registered in your name. Some agencies quietly register it in theirs, which is how businesses end up hostage to their web supplier.

Professional email

A mailbox on your own domain, with 10GB of space, working on your phone, laptop and tablet. Every plan includes it, and we set up the accounts, the forwarding and the signatures.

It is a small thing that quietly decides whether a stranger trusts your quote.

Green hosting

Renewable power, and a tree for every ten sites

The IT industry burns a startling amount of energy. Our servers are current-generation and efficient, the electricity behind them comes from renewable generation, and we plant a tree for every ten websites we host. It costs you nothing extra and it is worth saying out loud on your own site.

04 / Moving an existing site

We did not build it? Move it anyway.

Migrations are free, we do them out of hours, and your site keeps running throughout. Most people notice nothing except that pages load faster the next morning.

Once everything is settled, and not a day before.
05 / Straight answers

Hosting questions we get asked.

Anything else, just ask. We would rather explain it now than have you find out later.

No. We will build it wherever you like and hand over everything you need. Most clients stay with us because it means one number to ring when something looks wrong, not because they are tied in.

Yes, and migration is free. We copy the site over, test it privately, let you check it, then switch the domain out of hours. Your current site keeps running until the new one is proven.

Monitoring alerts us, usually before you have noticed. If a fault needs a restore, we do it from the off-site backup. You are not sent instructions and left to it.

Always. Your domain, your business, in your name, with the login handed to you. We will manage the renewals so nothing lapses, but ownership is never in question.

It comes across with the site. We set up the mailboxes first, keep the old ones receiving during the changeover, and check nothing has bounced before the old service is cancelled.

Yes. No long tie-ins. We hand over a full copy of the site, the database and the domain, and we will talk your new developer through it if that helps.

I've used Darren to create numerous websites for me over the years. His expertise, quality of work, customer service and speed at which he turns things around is exceptional. My coaching website is performing really well, getting me plenty of clicks and enquiries and Darren has set it up in such a way that I can make many adjustments myself which in turn saves me money. I have recommended Darren to others many times and if you are reading this review then please do reach out to him as he is certainly the right person for the job!

Last year when I decided that my business needed a website I was referred to Darren. From day one he talked me through the various options and packages and he advised on what was best for a business like mine. Darren handled everything from the photos to the content and he has been handling my website with great success ever since. He has lots of experience in developing websites for smaller businesses and start ups and takes a personal interest in his customers website performance.
