Hosted plan
Website hosting without the agency markup
Fast UK servers, Cloudflare protection, SSL included. A real person monitors it - not just an automated dashboard.
What is included
- UK server hosting
- SSL certificate
- Cloudflare protection

Retainer plans: 3-month minimum, then rolling monthly. Site builds quoted per project.
Why switch
Most agencies charge £50-80/month for hosting alone. The actual cost of running a small site on a quality UK server is a few pounds. The rest is margin, overhead, and the assumption you will never ask.
The Hosted plan covers everything your site needs to stay fast and online. No extras bolted on to justify the price. If something breaks, I fix it - you do not log a ticket and wait three days.

Common questions
What is included in the Hosted plan?
UK server hosting, SSL certificate, Cloudflare protection, uptime monitoring with alerts, domain management, and a monthly status email. Everything your site needs to stay online and secure.
How is this different from just buying hosting myself?
You could - it would cost around £5-10/month on a basic shared server. The Hosted plan adds Cloudflare, monitoring, a managed SSL certificate, and a real person who deals with anything that goes wrong. No control panel to figure out.
Can I upgrade to Maintained later?
Yes, any time. The difference is £25/month and you get up to ten content changes a month, same-day response, and a monthly report. Most clients start on Hosted and upgrade once they need regular updates.
Is there a long contract?
3-month minimum to cover setup costs, then rolling monthly. Cancel with one month's notice after that.
