Managed hosting & domain services to keep your website online, fast and secure

Managed WordPress hosting is hosting set up and looked after specifically for WordPress sites, rather than generic server space you maintain yourself. It includes the performance tuning, security, updates, backups and monitoring that a WordPress site needs to stay fast and safe. We host on WP Engine, a managed platform built for WordPress, and we manage the environment for you. The difference from cheap shared hosting is simple: instead of a server you're left to look after, you get infrastructure that's actively maintained, monitored and supported - so the site stays fast and online without you thinking about it.

Hosting is where your website lives - the infrastructure that serves it to visitors. Maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps the site itself healthy - updates, security, backups, edits and performance. You need both, and they work best together, which is why we bundle managed hosting with our Website Care plans. Hosting alone keeps the site online; care keeps it fast, secure and improving. Buying them from one team means there's never a question of whose job it is when something needs doing.

Yes. We host the sites we build on managed WordPress infrastructure and look after them for you, so the team that built your site is the team keeping it online. That matters when something goes wrong: there's no finger-pointing between a separate host and developer, because it's all us. You're free to leave whenever you like, though - you own your site and your domain, and you can move elsewhere anytime. Most clients stay because it's simpler and the site stays fast, not because they have to.

For a business website, almost always. Cheap shared hosting saves a few pounds a month and costs you in speed, security and reliability - the things that quietly affect your rankings, conversions and uptime. Managed hosting tunes the environment for performance, handles security and backups, and means someone's monitoring and fixing issues for you. The saving on bargain hosting disappears the first time the site goes down in a busy week or gets compromised. It's the foundation everything else stands on, so it's the wrong place to cut corners.

Yes. Migrating a site onto our managed hosting is straightforward and we handle it for you - copying the site across, testing it, and switching it over with minimal or no downtime. We'll also do a quick health check while we're at it and flag anything that needs attention. If your current site has deeper problems, we'll be honest about whether hosting alone solves them or whether some care or a refresh would get you a better result.
