Ethical, green and low cost hosting
We’re here to make hosting simple so you can focus on more important things. Ideal for freelancers, small businesses, social enterprises and charities. We offer 1 simple yearly plan that includes everything you need in an ethical, green and low cost way.
What is hosting?
There is a lot of technical jargon out there. Here’s a simple analogy of a new build house to help explain what the different technical words mean.
Hosting
In the analogy of a new build house, the Hosting is the equivalent of land.
For this ‘land’ you pay a yearly fee to make sure whatever you put on the land can remain there. However, without a few other technical bits whatever you put here won’t be accessible to the public.
Domain Name
In the analogy of a new build house, the Domain Name is the equivalent of the address of the house.
For this ‘address’ you’ll normally pay an additional yearly fee so that people know where to access your website. Our simple One Plan includes this for free as part your yearly hosting fee.
Content Management System (CMS)
In the analogy of a new build house, the CMS is the equivalent of the foundation and brick structure of the house.
This ‘structure’ can be many different types but the most common is a system called WordPress. Normally this is not included by hosts but we offer the option of having it pre-installed for you if you need for free.
Content & Theme
In the analogy of a new build house, the Content and Theme is the equivalent of the contents and style of the inside of the house.
This ‘content and style’ can be setup in whatever way you like. It’s something you’ll need a developer and designer for. It’s not something your host will normally provide but we can help with this too if you need for an additional fee.
Why choose our hosting?
There’s no better value, ethically focussed hosting out there. That’s why we have our price guarantee promise.
Environmentally friendly
Our server is managed by Dreamhost which takes lots of initiatives to ensure its data centres are as green as possible such as using renewable energy sources and efficient cooling systems.
99.9% website uptime
This means your website will always be available to view. You won’t find better uptime out there.
1 FREE .co.uk, .com, .org or .org.uk domain included
You’ll need this so people know what to type in to find your website. Many hosts charge extra for this.
FREE SSL certificate included
This is something you need if you want to sell anything on your website to ensure transactions are securely processed. Many hosting companies charge you extra for this.
We're an ethical social enterprise
Proceeds made from our hosting help fund free design and technology support for charities, non-profits and social enterprises around the World.
FREE pre-installed WordPress CMS
If you need, we can pre-install WordPress for you for free when buying our One Plan hosting so that’s one less thing to worry about.
Unlimited email addresses
You can choose to have forwarding-only addresses or fully hosted inboxes which you can then access through a webmail feature for you and your whole team.
Unlimited storage
This is the space where you can upload images, videos and content for your website. Many hosts limit this and charge extra for more.
We won’t be beaten on price
Our price guarantee
We’re confident you won’t find a cheaper deal but if you find an equivalent hosting plan which is cheaper we’ll promise to match the price. Just make sure the below apply and contact us with a link to the hosting deal so we can validate it:
The benefits you get are same as what we offer
It is for 12 months of hosting
Some hosts will lock you into long multi year contracts and take payment upfront for all the years. This doesn’t sit right with us so we only offer 12 month subscriptions which you can cancel before the renewal each year.
It is not a promotion which runs out
Some hosts entice you with a very low initial price only to increase it significantly down the line automatically. We prefer to just have a simple upfront price so you know what you’ll be paying.
