Website hosting and maintenance: what is included and what it costs
A fast, secure website and a person to call when something needs fixing.
The short answer
Managed hosting starts from £30 per month. It includes cloud hosting on AWS or Google Cloud, a Cloudflare CDN and firewall, daily backups, regular updates and direct support from someone who knows your site. You get a fast, secure website and a person to call, not a ticket system.
What makes hosting reliable, fast and secure?
Most businesses only think about hosting when something breaks.
Slow websites, failed updates and security problems are often caused by cheap infrastructure and neglected maintenance.
We take a different approach.
Our managed hosting includes enterprise-level cloud hosting, global CDN acceleration, proactive security management, plugin and platform updates, automated backups, performance optimisation and direct technical support.
Hosting starts from £30 per month and includes ongoing maintenance and security updates multiple times each week.
The problem
Why does website hosting only get attention when something breaks?
Most businesses only think about hosting when the site goes slow, an update fails or something gets hacked. By then the damage is done.
Those problems usually trace back to cheap infrastructure and neglected maintenance. The cost shows up as lost enquiries while the site is slow or down, and as the time spent chasing a support ticket.
