Hosting and Email
Cheap hosting is cheap because nobody is looking after it. We host websites, learning platforms, business applications and email on servers we build, patch, monitor and back up ourselves, and when something goes wrong you talk to the engineer who runs it.
Website and application hosting
WordPress, Moodle, PHP and Python applications, and older systems that other hosts won’t touch. Every site gets daily backups, security hardening, Cloudflare protection and page caching, and monitoring that alerts us before you notice a problem.
Business email
Hosted email on your own domain, with webmail, calendars and contacts, for businesses that don’t need a full Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace subscription. If you do, we set up and support Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace too.
What’s included
- Managed servers: Operating system and software updates, including upgrades between major versions, done for you
- Backups: Daily backups kept away from the server, with restores tested
- Security: Firewalls, login protection, file integrity checks and bot protection on forms
- Performance: Page caching and a content delivery network, so sites load quickly here and overseas
- Certificates: HTTPS certificates issued and renewed automatically
- Email security: SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up properly, plus newer protections such as MTA-STS and DANE that stop email being intercepted in transit
- Domains and DNS: DNS managed, documented and kept tidy, with stale records removed
- Privacy-friendly analytics: Website statistics without handing your visitors’ data to advertising companies
- Migrations: Sites and mailboxes moved from your current provider with minimal disruption
Hosting is available on its own or with our website development and managed IT services. See how we locked down email across nearly 30 domains.
Common questions
Can you host a site someone else built?
Yes. We review it first, update anything out of date, and tell you about any risks before we take it on.
Our website runs on old software. Will you still host it?
Often, yes. We regularly upgrade older sites and applications onto current, supported platforms, and where that can’t happen straight away we isolate them so they can’t put anything else at risk.
Do you need access to our domain?
For email and website security we need to manage your DNS records. The domain stays registered in your name.
