Shared Hosting
Reliable hosting for small businesses and brochure sites — fast setup, secure defaults, and support when you need it.
What’s included

Optimised for WordPress and small business sites, with performance defaults suited to businesses that need scalable server environments as they grow.
Email + DNS help
Practical support with records and routing so your business email and connected services work properly from day one.
Security basics
SSL enabled and essential hardening to reduce common risks, with options to add dedicated SSL certificates for greater protection.
Real support
A human response when something needs fixing or improving, with structured support plans available for regular maintenance.
Hosting that works from the start
Shared hosting gives your business a reliable, professionally managed web presence without the cost or complexity of running a dedicated server. It is the practical starting point for sole traders, start-ups, and small teams who need a website that loads quickly, stays secure, and runs without constant oversight.
Most small businesses reach for shared hosting when they are launching a new site, replacing an unreliable provider, or consolidating their domain and DNS management under one roof. The common trigger is straightforward — you need a site that works properly, backed by someone who will actually help if something goes wrong. Whether you are building a brochure site, a portfolio, or a simple booking page, shared hosting delivers the performance and stability your visitors expect.
The practical outcome is a hosting environment that is set up correctly from day one, with SSL enabled, DNS configured, and WordPress optimised. You spend less time troubleshooting infrastructure and more time running your business. If your needs change, we will advise when it makes sense to move to a VPS hosting plan for additional power and control.

FAQs
Can you move my existing site onto shared hosting?
Yes — we handle the full website migration process for most small WordPress sites. We transfer your files, database, and media, then verify everything is working correctly before switching DNS. This means there is no visible downtime for your visitors, and you do not need to manage any of the technical steps yourself.
Will shared hosting be enough for my business?
For many brochure sites, portfolios, and early-stage businesses, shared hosting provides more than enough capacity. Most small business sites receive modest traffic volumes that shared environments handle comfortably. If your traffic or resource demands grow significantly, we will advise when it makes sense to move to a VPS hosting environment for additional power and isolation.
Do you include SSL?
Yes — every shared hosting plan includes SSL configuration so your site loads securely over HTTPS. We enable the certificate, verify correct installation, and check that all pages are served without mixed-content warnings. For businesses that require extended validation or organisation-level certificates, we also offer dedicated SSL certificate options.
Do you manage updates and maintenance?
We can — ask about our ongoing support plans and we will recommend the right level of cover for your site. This can include WordPress core updates, plugin updates, security patches, and regular performance checks. Many clients prefer a hands-off approach where we handle everything so their site stays current and secure without their involvement.
What happens if my site goes down?
If your site experiences downtime, our team investigates and resolves the issue as quickly as possible. Shared hosting environments are monitored for availability and performance, and we maintain regular backups so data can be restored if needed. For businesses that require faster response guarantees, we offer priority support tiers that include defined resolution windows.
Can I use my own domain name?
Absolutely. You can bring any existing domain to your shared hosting account, and we will configure the DNS records to point it correctly. If you do not yet have a domain, we can help you register one and set up all the necessary records. We also support multiple domain configurations if you need to run more than one site from your account.
Is shared hosting secure enough for a business site?
Yes, when configured properly. We apply essential hardening measures including SSL, firewall rules, and login protection as standard on every account. Regular backups mean your data is recoverable in the event of a problem. For businesses handling sensitive customer data or requiring additional compliance measures, we can advise on enhanced security layers and dedicated certificate options.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most shared hosting accounts are fully provisioned within one to two working days. This includes server setup, DNS configuration, SSL installation, and WordPress deployment. If we are migrating an existing site, the timeline may extend slightly depending on the size and complexity of the content being transferred, but we always confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
