We host business websites on UK-based servers, looked after by the same people who manage your domains and DNS.
Hosting is the third piece of the same puzzle. A website needs somewhere to run, a domain to be reached at, and DNS to connect the two. Split those across three suppliers and every problem becomes a conversation about whose problem it is.
What’s included
- UK-based servers. Your site runs on our own cluster of UK servers, which keeps latency low for UK visitors and keeps your data in the UK.
- Managed updates and patching. Server-level software is kept current so you aren’t running known vulnerabilities.
- SSL certificates. Issued, installed and renewed automatically — no expired-certificate warnings on your own website.
- Backups. Taken on a regular schedule and retained, so a bad deployment or a broken plugin update is recoverable.
- Monitoring. If your site stops responding, we want to hear it from our monitoring rather than from your customers.
- Support from people who hold your DNS. When something breaks, whoever picks up already has the full picture.
Why it helps to keep it together
Website faults are frequently DNS faults, and DNS faults are frequently domain faults. When hosting, DNS and domain registration sit with three separate providers, each one can quite reasonably tell you the issue lies with one of the others — and none of them is wrong, because none of them can see the whole chain.
Holding all three means there’s a single place to call and nobody to pass you along to.
SSL is no longer a set-and-forget job
Certificate lifetimes are shortening fast. The maximum validity for a public TLS certificate dropped to 200 days on 15 March 2026, falls to 100 days in March 2027, and to 47 days in March 2029.
Any process that relies on someone remembering to renew will eventually fail — not through carelessness, but through sheer frequency. On our hosting, certificates renew automatically. See SSL certificates for the detail.
Migrating an existing site
Moving a live website is the part most businesses worry about, usually because they’ve had it go badly before. The risk isn’t the files — it’s the cutover, and specifically the DNS change that goes with it.
We copy the site across and test it fully before anything is switched, then make the DNS change ourselves at a time that suits you, checking that mail routing is untouched in the process. Because we hold the DNS, that cutover is one action by one team rather than a handover between two.
Keeping the same URLs and avoiding downtime means the move is invisible to search engines.
