Website hosting, set up properly
Good hosting keeps your site fast, secure and online. For the websites I build, I can set up and manage hosting, SSL certificates, domains and DNS, so the technical side is handled and you can focus on the business.
Why it matters
Hosting is chosen to suit the site, whether that is a static brand site, a WordPress site or a Shopify store, which includes its own hosting.
What is included
Hosting setup
Hosting chosen and configured to suit how the site is built.
SSL and security
HTTPS on every page and sensible security settings from day one.
Domains and DNS
Domain connection, DNS and email records configured correctly.
Performance
Caching and content delivery set up so pages load quickly across the UK.
Backups
Backups in place so the site can be restored if something goes wrong.
Who it is for
- Businesses launching a new website with me
- Owners unsure how their current hosting is set up
- Sites moving away from slow or unreliable hosting
- Anyone who would rather not manage the technical side

Frequently asked questions
Do Shopify stores need separate hosting?
No. Shopify includes hosting, SSL and a content delivery network. Hosting setup applies to non-Shopify websites.
Can you move my site to new hosting?
Yes. Sites can be moved with care over DNS and email records so there is no unexpected downtime.
Who owns the domain and hosting?
You do. Accounts are set up in your name or handed over, so you stay in control.
How much does hosting cost?
It depends on the type of site and the hosting it needs. You will get a clear recommendation and quote with the project.
