SSL certificate
Encryption between your visitor and your site, installed and renewed.
SSL certificateWeb hosting on our servers
Hosting is where your site lives. We give it space on our servers with an SSL certificate, so the design, the server and the support come from one team.
Hosting is the space your website occupies on the internet. We reserve it on our own servers with an SSL certificate included, connect your domain name and your email, and watch it — so when something needs attention you call one number, not three suppliers.

Website migrationWhy hosting decides speed and indexing
A page can be built perfectly and still arrive slowly if the server is overloaded or far away. Slow pages lose visitors, and search engines see the same slowness you do. Good hosting is the floor everything else stands on — you cannot optimise your way out of a bad server.
What we watch
- That the site is up, and that it answers quickly.
- That the SSL certificate is valid and renewed before it expires.
- That backups exist and can actually be restored.
- That email on your domain is sending and arriving properly.
Ongoing cover is described under maintenance.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is hosting included when you build my site?
Yes. The sites we build are hosted on our servers with the SSL certificate installed, so you do not have to arrange a server separately or coordinate between two companies.
See what the website price covers on pricing. The timing depends on the number of pages and on how ready your texts and photos are, and we give you a clear date before we start.
Can you host a site you did not build?
Yes. We take a full backup, upload a copy to our servers, check it page by page and then switch the domain over, so visitors keep seeing the site throughout.
See website migration. The hosting is on our own servers, and we keep an eye on the renewal and on the SSL certificate so the site never goes down or shows as not secure.
Will my site be faster on your servers?
Usually, yes — especially if you are coming from cheap shared hosting. But hosting is only part of speed: image weight and page code matter just as much.
See speed optimisation. We agree on every detail before we start, so you know what is inside the work and what is outside it.
Do you take backups?
Yes, and we check that a backup can actually be restored, which is the part people discover too late. Backups are also part of the monthly maintenance service.
See maintenance. We keep backups and update the site, and if anything breaks we put the last clean version back.
What happens if my site goes down?
You call 0799400949 and we look at it. Because the server and the site are both with us, nobody can point at the other party while your site is offline.
We welcome calls around the clock. If your case is different, talk to us on 0799400949 and we explain the options that fit your business.
Can I get email with the hosting?
Yes. Addresses on your own domain, like info@yourcompany.com, are set up on the same hosting and connected to your phone and computer.
See business email. The hosting is on our own servers, and we keep an eye on the renewal and on the SSL certificate so the site never goes down or shows as not secure.
What if I want to leave later?
The site and the domain are yours. We hand over what is needed to move, as set out in the terms we agree at the start.
See the terms and conditions. We agree on every detail before we start, so you know what is inside the work and what is outside it.
How is hosting renewed?
For the period we agree, and we remind you before the date. If hosting lapses the site goes offline, and if the domain lapses the name itself can be lost.
See domain registration. The hosting is on our own servers, and we keep an eye on the renewal and on the SSL certificate so the site never goes down or shows as not secure.
Need hosting you can call about?
Talk to us about your site and we will tell you what it needs.
