A hosting platform, not a single server.
Every website hosted with us runs on a whole platform of load-balanced, autoscaling servers, not one machine. Choose Linux, WordPress or Windows and get enterprise-grade hardware, a global CDN and built-in security as standard.
Shared hosting, with a difference
Built by hosting experts, not bolted together
Traditional shared hosting performance depends on how much traffic you get and what other users on your server are doing. Our platforms are autoscaling and load-balanced instead, so your site stays online and fast, at no extra cost, whatever else is happening on the platform.
A whole platform, not one server
Your website isn’t tied to a single server. It runs across a whole platform, so one busy neighbouring site, or a single piece of failing hardware, doesn’t take you down with it.
Autoscaling, always on
Bandwidth, memory and processing power adjust automatically to demand. A sudden spike in traffic is met with more resource instantly, no manual upgrade, no downtime.
Load-balanced by design
Traffic is monitored and balanced across multiple servers whenever it needs to be, keeping your site online and fast even under load.
Choose your platform
Three platforms, one level of performance
Every plan also includes unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited accounts, free SSL, free CDN, unlimited free migrations, HTTP/2 and IPv6.
Linux
A versatile platform for PHP, Node.js and most popular apps and frameworks, with 81 one-click app installs.
WordPress
Optimised specifically for WordPress: staging, automatic updates, plugin/theme monitoring, brute-force login protection and a built-in speed plugin, all included.
Windows
ASP.NET and MSSQL support for Windows-only applications, on the same autoscaling, load-balanced platform.
Data centre & hardware
Premium hardware, no single point of failure
Our UK data centres are staffed by technicians onsite 24/7, every day of the year, with a resilient national network behind every server. We’ve invested heavily in hardware so that performance never depends on luck.
Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4214 CPUs
12-core processors with hyper-threading, for 48 logical cores per web server.
64GB 3200MHz DDR4 RAM
Per web server, with database servers running separately on 48-core machines with 192GB RAM.
100% SSD, RAID 10
Battery-backed hardware RAID cards, with storage arrays replicated across multiple servers, no single point of failure.
Daily offsite backups
Data backups taken daily and stored at a secured offsite facility, separate from the servers they protect.
Bespoke Web Application Firewall
Continually monitors and filters out threatening requests before they can even target your website.
Email on separate servers
Email is stored away from your website’s servers, so neither can affect the other’s speed or reliability.
All this means website performance is never affected by other users’ websites, visitors or activity. Hosting is designed to scale as your website grows, so performance stays the same however popular you get.
Included, free
A global CDN, built into every plan
Every platform includes our global Content Delivery Network as standard. For the full detail on locations, caching and every individual optimisation, see the dedicated CDN & Website Optimisation page.
Built in, not bolted on
Secure and sustainable by default
Questions
Platform FAQ
What makes this different from typical shared hosting?
Your website runs across a whole autoscaling, load-balanced platform rather than being tied to one single server. That means more resource when you need it, and no single point of failure if one piece of hardware has a problem.
Which platform should I choose?
Linux is the most versatile choice for PHP, Node.js and most apps. WordPress adds WordPress-specific optimisation on top (staging, automatic updates, brute-force protection). Windows is for ASP.NET and MSSQL applications specifically.
Is the CDN included, or is it an add-on?
Included free with every plan, on every platform, with no usage limits or throttling. See the CDN & Website Optimisation page for the full detail.
How is my data protected?
Daily offsite backups, 100% SSD storage in RAID 10 with battery-backed hardware RAID cards, and storage replicated across multiple servers, so a single disk, array or server failure doesn’t mean downtime or data loss.
Is the platform secure?
Yes. A bespoke Web Application Firewall filters out threatening requests before they reach your site, alongside anti-DDoS protection and two-factor authentication. See the dedicated Security page for the full list.
