Website host

Hi guys,

Who do you use for your website hosting?

Currently with 123-reg who want £77/year for WordPress hosting.

That’s a pretty good deal. Not sure I’d trust 123reg with my site though. I’d pay more to ensure support is there if needed.

I use these to look after me:

Web Hosting Packages | UK Website Hosting | Hosting UK

Hosting UK offers affordable windows or linux web hosting plans with free domain name suitable for hobbyists, new business start-ups, developers and more.

We have had a great experience with WPX hosting. Their website isn't very inspiring but their support and service are excellent.

The price of hosting varies significantly depending on the service type, Managed vs Unmanaged? Shared, VPS or Cloud hosting? Does the plan include backups? at what frequency? Are any security and speed services included? (some charge extra for SSL and WAF and some include them in the price, some offer CDN and caching tools and others charge extra) are staging sites included? How much bandwidth is included? or How many visitors per month? Server specs (Ram, CPU, Storage)

Hosting can start from 5 pounds per month for very cheap shared hosting from the likes of siteground and can go up to 100-300+ pounds/month for premium managed hosting from the likes of Kinsta or Krystal.

We also offer hosting, both managed and unmanaged on our London server, and I am happy to create a bespoke offer for you after understanding your needs.

Current host is doing a backup daily by the looks of it. The website really doesn't require much power at all as i'm a small local service based business. I know shared is usually cheaper and that's fine for us not having a great deal of traffic and we don't process any payments on our website either.

So there must be a reason you're looking around?

I am aware the website isn't for ecommerce and doesn't get a lot of traffic due to the nature of my business and have seen word press hosting for £2/3 month so I wondered if there were any other reputable companies offering that price. I don't want to pay the cheapest company if the service isn't good ?

have seen word press hosting for £2/3 month

So £77/year is about £6/month.

Are you really spending all this time to save £3/month?

Surely you can focus on something that will boost your sales instead?

Remember in business, you can only cut expenses so far, whereas boosting sales is potentially unlimited.

Provided they are backing everything up and are reasonable when you need anything.. seems a good deal to me

I used 123 for many years and they are a good host. I only moved to a local one as I moved to Spain. I would stay with them unless you have had issues or seek a more expensive, more personal service.

You can go with basic shared hosting if your requirement is quit low, you can reduce your outgo quit drastically.
Just make sure you ask for data transfer as well, many host do offer free data transfer .. so just confirm.
