Your website, hosted.
Your questions, answered.

You should know where your website lives, who looks after it and what to do when something needs attention.

Our managed hosting brings the technical setup and the people supporting it together. We discuss the platform your website uses, the traffic and features it needs to support, and any connections that must keep working. From there, we agree the right hosting and care arrangements for your site.

Whether we built the website or you are planning a move, we start by understanding the current setup. Our Wigan team can explain the practical details, coordinate an agreed migration and help with questions afterwards. You have a real person to talk to, with the context needed to work through the next step.

Clear responsibilities make a difference

A sensible setup.
People who know it.

Hosting sits alongside your domain, email and website software, but they do different jobs. We establish where those services are managed and who controls the relevant accounts. That shared picture makes a move easier to plan and gives everyone a clearer starting point when a problem needs investigating.

Care should match the website. A simple business site and a busy online shop have different requirements for backups, changes and recovery. We agree what is covered, how support requests are handled and which responsibilities sit with your team or another provider, keeping expectations clear from the start.

We also consider the infrastructure behind the website. The UK data centre behind our hosting purchases 100% renewable electricity from sources including wind, solar and hydro. Efficient cooling, modern servers and considered caching help reduce wasted energy alongside the practical work of keeping a website responsive.

See how we get there

Know what is looking after your website

The right foundations.
A clear point of contact.

We review the website before agreeing its hosting arrangements. The platform, support scope and any related maintenance are made clear in the proposal.

A setup suited to your site

We consider the website’s platform, functionality and resource needs before recommending its hosting setup. Existing integrations, scheduled tasks and file requirements are part of that review, helping us identify any work needed before the site is ready to move.

A carefully planned move

A migration starts with knowing what needs to move and what should stay where it is. We agree the transfer, access and launch arrangements, then check the website on the new setup before coordinating the domain changes and reviewing it live.

Backups with a clear purpose

We discuss backup coverage and recovery needs in the context of your website. A frequently updated shop needs different consideration from a small brochure site. The agreed arrangements explain what is covered and how a restoration would be handled if one is needed.

Attention to performance

Hosting and website code both influence how a page feels to use. We consider suitable caching and the resources your site needs, and can flag issues that call for development work. Any wider performance improvements are scoped with you before they begin.

A greener hosting foundation

The UK data centre behind our hosting purchases renewable electricity, while efficient hardware and cooling help reduce wasted energy. The hosting platform also supports tree planting and carbon reduction projects through Ecologi. You can discuss the infrastructure and your website’s requirements with our team.

Real people to help

If a page stops behaving as expected or you have a question about the setup, speak to our team. We help establish what is happening, explain the next step and agree any work needed, including when the issue involves a separate service or provider.

A website move, made understandable

Know the setup.
Plan the handover.

For an existing website, we work through the dependencies before changing where it is hosted. New builds follow the same care at launch.

Start with a conversation
  1. Discuss the website

    What does your site need to support?

    We ask about the website, its platform and the reasons you are considering a move. Any current problems, busy periods or important integrations help us understand the requirements. We also establish who manages the domain, email and existing hosting accounts.

    • Your website
    • Current setup
  2. Review & access

    Check the practical requirements.

    With appropriate access, we review the site and the information needed to move it. Files, databases, certificates and connected services are considered where relevant. We flag compatibility issues or missing information early, so the proposed hosting arrangement is based on the actual setup.

    • Hosting review
    • Connected services
  3. Agree the care

    Be clear about what is covered.

    We set out the hosting arrangements, recurring costs and support scope, including any agreed maintenance or backup requirements. Responsibilities are clear on both sides. If the site needs remedial work before migration, we explain that work and agree it with you first.

    • Defined scope
    • Care arrangements
  4. Prepare the move

    Try the website in its new home.

    We prepare the destination and transfer the agreed website files and data. Checks focus on the site’s key pages, forms and connected features. For sites that change frequently, we agree how updates and new orders will be handled around the final transfer.

    • Prepared hosting
    • Pre-move checks
  5. Switch & check

    Coordinate the changeover.

    The agreed domain changes direct visitors to the new hosting. We check the live site, certificate and key journeys, and review any affected connections. Timing is coordinated with you and relevant providers, with attention to keeping unrelated services, such as email, correctly configured.

    • Domain changes
    • Live checks
  6. Keep in touch

    A familiar team when you need help.

    We confirm the access and contact arrangements once the move is complete. Questions, maintenance needs and changes can then be discussed with the team that understands the setup. As your website develops, we can review whether its hosting and support arrangements still fit.

    • Direct contact
    • Changing needs

Before we get started

Before we get started.
A few useful answers.

Scope, collaboration and what comes next. A little clarity before your first conversation about website hosting.

Ask us anything
Can you host a website you did not build?

We can review the website and its requirements before confirming whether our hosting is suitable. We need information about the platform, existing hosting and any connected services, along with appropriate access. If compatibility issues or remedial work are identified, we explain those before agreeing a move.

Will moving hosting affect our domain or email?

A domain, website hosting and email can be managed separately. We check the existing arrangement and relevant domain records before planning a move, so we know which changes are needed. Any effect on email or another service is discussed as part of the migration plan rather than assumed.

What is included in managed hosting?

We agree the scope around your website. The proposal makes the hosting, support, backup arrangements and any maintenance work clear, including recurring costs and responsibilities. New features, substantial fixes or content work can be discussed separately when they fall outside the agreed arrangement.

What makes your hosting a greener option?

The UK data centre behind our hosting purchases 100% renewable electricity from sources including wind, solar and hydro. Efficient cooling, modern servers and caching help reduce wasted energy. The hosting platform also supports tree planting and carbon reduction projects through Ecologi.

Who do we contact if the website has a problem?

You can contact our team using the support arrangements agreed with you. A real person will help establish what is happening and explain the next step. Some issues relate to website software or a third-party service rather than hosting; we make that distinction clear and agree any additional work needed.

A greener home.

Every website has a carbon footprint. The UK data centre behind our hosting purchases 100% renewable electricity from sources including wind, solar and hydro, reducing reliance on fossil-fuel power.

Using less energy matters, too. Efficient cooling, modern servers and smart caching help reduce wasted energy while keeping your website responsive.

Beyond the servers, our hosting platform supports tree planting and carbon reduction projects through Ecologi. It’s a practical approach to a lower-carbon web, backed by people you can call when your website needs a hand.

  • Energy-efficient hosting
  • Tree planting
