Not sure? Send us your website address and we’ll recommend a plan.
Hosting support is. Content changes, development and fixes to problems on the site itself are quoted before we start.
If you need regular help with the site, Care and Care Plus include time each month.
We’ll talk through the options and confirm any price change with you before we upgrade your plan.
Yes, on any plan, for a monthly fee. It’s worth it if a lot of your visitors are outside the UK.
Have a look at the transferred clients page. It covers your plan, the older plan names (like Bronze) and how to get hold of us.
No. Hosting is billed monthly, so you can change plan or leave whenever you like.
It can help, but plugins, images and the site’s own code matter too. If your site needs more than a hosting change, we’ll tell you what we’d recommend and why. The WordPress Performance Sprint is usually where that starts.
Yes. Laravel applications and other PHP sites too. Tell us what you’re running and we’ll check which setup suits it.
