Website hosting services
Hosting is something you don’t truly realise the importance of until something goes wrong. Reading this, you might not even know who hosts your site. To us, that sounds pretty risky. If your website is your main source of leads, sales, enquiries and information for your customers, you need whoever is hosting it to treat it with care.
Managed website hosting
We offer ‘managed’ hosting which means we don’t just offer space on a server; we also maintain the websites, making sure they’re fully updated on the latest versions with updated plugins to ensure the website is as secure as possible. Our managed website hosting packages offer peace of mind.
There are many different types of hosting available depending on the technologies on which the website is built. We offer hosting for WordPress and PHP based websites as well as dedicated servers if required.
Who we work with
What should I look for in a managed hosting provider?
As a general rule, the cheaper the hosting, the more likely it is that the servers will be slow, go down more often, have smaller server space and could be more prone for being hacked. Less reliable providers may also take longer to respond to and fix any issues.
With websites so critical to so many different types of businesses, it’s crucial that any problems with the site or hosting are resolved very quickly, which is why managed hosting is a great solution.
The main things to consider when choosing a hosting provider are speed, reliability, uptime, security and that the hosting package has enough resource (databases, hard drive space, RAM, etc) for the current time and for potential growth.
What's included in managed hosting?
Safe updates
Automatically creates a restore point, compares the website before and after the update, providing the ability to rollback updates if necessary.
Vulnerability Check
Real time information about what plugins are vulnerable so we can act accordingly.

Ongoing maintenance
Working with a trusted website maintenance partner gives you peace of mind knowing your site is protected, backed up, and running smoothly. It also helps knowing you have someone (a real, UK-based person) you can jump on a call with whenever you have a question about your website.

Don't just take our word for it
Brand,
Digital
& Motion
We believe every brand is a sleeping giant just waiting to be awoken. To rise up and show the world what it's made of. It's our job to chip away at the stone and realise its potential.
You need a website that does it all. That inspires and informs, builds confidence and trust. That enhances experiences and turns casual browsers into lifetime customers.
How your brand moves says things words can’t. Every movement either raises hairs or raises eyebrows. Delights or deters. It's important to make every movement count.
