Personally looked after.
Hosting is the service that keeps your website available and gives it the resources to run. I provide website and email hosting with a practical advantage: you can talk to the person who understands the website, rather than start again with someone who has never seen it.
A small business website, a busy online shop and a custom application can have different resource and support needs. I look at the platform, traffic patterns, storage, email requirements and business-critical features before recommending the setup.
My business website projects include the first twelve months of website and email hosting within the agreed scope. Ongoing website and email hosting starts from £120 plus VAT a year. Larger sites and specialist requirements are quoted separately so the service is not oversold as one package for every business.

The detail behind the work
A considered approach.
From the start.
The choices, practical details and support that shape your project.
01Green hosting with a useful purpose
The hosting service uses renewable-powered infrastructure, as part of my commitment to reducing the impact of running websites. The practical work matters too: sensible page weight, efficient images and suitable caching can reduce unnecessary transfers while making the site easier to use.
I do not treat a green badge as a substitute for technical care. The right configuration depends on the actual site and server. Performance claims need testing, and no honest hosting description should promise that a website can never have an interruption.
02Layers of performance and security
My hosting setup uses tools and services that can support caching, delivery, scanning and protection, including QUIC.cloud and the hosting security layers available for the account. Their configuration is checked against the site rather than assumed from a logo on a sales page.
On managed WordPress builds, the Pro toolkit can support areas such as backups, forms, performance and login protection. Those tools complement good access controls, updates and recovery planning. They do not make every website immune to attack or remove the need for maintenance.
03Email and the details behind delivery
I can help set up website-related email accounts and the sending arrangements the website needs. For businesses with wider collaboration or compliance requirements, a dedicated service such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace may be a better fit than basic hosting email.
We discuss mailbox needs, devices, existing accounts and migration before changing anything. A website move should not quietly disrupt email. Domain and email records need to be planned and checked separately from the page files.
04Hosting and maintenance are different jobs
Hosting supplies the environment. Maintenance looks after the website software, updates, checks and agreed support. My WordPress maintenance plan is £75 plus VAT a month and includes the annual hosting, so it can be a better fit if you want ongoing care as well as server space.
If you would like me to host an existing website, send the domain and tell me which platform it uses. I will review the requirements and explain the move, costs and recovery plan before anything is changed.

Before we get started
Good questions.
Straight answers.
What does hosting cost after the included first year?
Website and email hosting starts from £120 plus VAT a year for an agreed standard scope. Larger or specialist requirements are quoted separately.
Is maintenance included with basic hosting?
Hosting and maintenance are separate services. The £75 plus VAT monthly WordPress maintenance plan includes annual hosting and the agreed care scope.
Can you host every platform?
I check the site’s technical requirements first. Hosted platforms such as Shopify have their own hosting model, and a bespoke application may need a different setup.
