Managed Website Hosting
Managed hosting for UK businesses from your Southampton web agency, from £15/month (12-month contract, paid upfront). Clear custom quotes for busy or complex websites. Hosted on fast Hetzner EU infrastructure.
Need a custom quote?
Simple sites have simple prices. If your site is busy, complex, or business-critical, we scope hosting on our Hetzner VPS (or a dedicated server) and quote annually upfront. Guide price from £50/month depending on traffic, stack, and support needs.
- More than 50,000 visits per month or sustained traffic spikes
- Multiple websites or WordPress multisite
- Heavy media libraries, video streaming, or large file downloads
- Custom applications (Node.js APIs, Laravel, headless CMS at scale)
- Compliance or isolation needs (dedicated VPS, separate database server)
- High availability requirements (load balancing, failover)

Hosting FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Why annual upfront instead of monthly billing?
Annual billing keeps your price fixed for 12 months with no surprise renewal hikes. You pay once per year and we handle hosting, monitoring, and care for the full contract term.
Can you migrate my existing WordPress site?
Yes. Standard migrations from most hosts are included in setup. Complex migrations (multisite, custom stacks, or very large media libraries) are quoted separately before work begins.
What happens if my traffic exceeds my plan?
We will contact you to discuss an upgrade or a custom hosting quote. Occasional spikes are fine; sustained traffic above your tier limits needs a higher plan.
Is hosting included in your web design packages?
No. Web design packages are one-off project fees. Ongoing hosting is a separate annual service with its own contract and pricing on this page.
Where are servers located?
Sites run on Hetzner EU infrastructure (Germany and Finland). UK visitors get good latency, and hosting stays within a GDPR-friendly European footprint.
