Not your standard web hosting

We built our hosting for developers like you

We’ve got all the common languages covered; NodeJS, PHP, Python, Perl and Ruby with secure legacy versions as well as the latest and greatest all available at the click of a button with no installation required, saving you time and hassle.

Woman and man programming

Faster than your average website

Our servers have SSD disk space and we run Litespeed Web Server, widely regarded as one of the fastest ways to run modern web applications, then we go a step further still and give you access to the Litespeed Cache for free! Every account can access high speed, memory based caching of their content, including support for Edge Side Includes (ESI).

Making your life easier

We want to make your life easier, so we provide you with SSH (Secure Shell) access and include common tools such as composer, wp-cli, drush, git, svn etc. by default, for every account – and if you find there’s something missing, talk to us and if we can, we’ll install it, for everyone.

Secure Linux Virtual Environment

We know you don’t want other system users interfering with your sites and we know you really don’t want the complexity of a virtual server per site, that’s why we setup a secure Linux Virtual Environment (LVE) for each account, so you get the best of both worlds – The simplicity of shared hosting, and the security of a virtual server.

Ethical hosting, that helps others

We pay our fair and rightful share of tax

We don’t use offshore holdings, we don’t have artificial licensing arrangements and corporate structures to avoid paying taxes.  We’ve benefited from what taxes pay for; education, transport, healthcare etc. whilst building our business, so it is only right that we contribute back in to the system so others can benefit in the future.

Helping the planet

In all areas we strive to reduce our per customer CO2 emissions and where we can, our electricity comes from renewable sources.  We can’t get away from the fact that our infrastructure uses electricity, so we offset double our CO2 output for our infrastructure, staff, travel, everything.

Helping others

We recognise that we are incredibly lucky to live in a highly developed country and have resources at our disposal that those in lots of other countries do not have; That’s why with every hosting account ordered, we support a project aimed at helping those less fortunate to better their lives.  We support projects for providing clean water, education, safe sanitation & hygiene, and more.
