99.9% uptime
where we can promise it

VPS and dedicated servers carry a real SLA with service credits. Shared hosting and game servers run on a single node each, so we sell them on best efforts and do not pretend otherwise.

Read the SLA

Free SSL,
issued and renewed

Certificates are issued automatically and renew on their own. There is no SSL upsell here and there never will be.

What you pay in month one is what you pay in month twenty. No introductory rate that jumps, and 30 days notice before any change.

Read the billing terms

Set up in minutes,
not days

Shared hosting and game servers provision automatically once payment clears. A VPS is usually running in under ten minutes.

An API, and

Full root on a VPS, standard cPanel on shared hosting, and a documented API. If you ever want to leave we will help you pack.

Why trust us

Promises you can hold us to, in writing

99.9% uptime, or money back

VPS and dedicated servers carry a 99.9% monthly uptime commitment. Miss it and you are owed 5% of the monthly fee for every full hour below, up to the whole month. Shared hosting and game servers run on a single node each, so we do not pretend otherwise and we do not sell them with an SLA.

Read the SLA →

7 or 30 days to change your mind

If your first order is not what you wanted, tell us within 7 days on a monthly plan or 30 days on a yearly one, and we refund it in full. Money, not account credit. The window is shorter on monthly plans because a month-long window on a month-long term is just a free month.

Read the refund terms →

The renewal price is the price

What you pay in month one is what you pay in month twenty. No introductory rate that jumps at renewal, and at least 30 days notice before any price change.

What we hold and how.

Getting started

New here? Start with these.

How quickly will my service be ready?

Shared hosting and game servers are set up automatically, usually within a couple of minutes of payment clearing. VPS builds normally complete in under ten minutes. Dedicated servers are provisioned by hand and we will give you a firm time when you order.

Can I pay monthly, or do I have to commit to a year?

Monthly is the default and it is fine. Quarterly, six monthly and yearly terms are also available on hosting, and the longer you commit the less you pay per month. The exact saving is shown against each term when you order, because it is worked out from that the yearly discount on that particular plan rather than a flat site-wide number.

Nothing is locked in. You can cancel at the end of any term, and domains are the one exception to the choice: registries price them per year, so they are sold yearly only.

Does the price go up when it renews?

No. Hosting renews at the same price you signed up at. We do not run an introductory rate that jumps later. Domains are the one exception, because registries set their own renewal prices and some are much higher than the first year. Every domain shows both prices before you buy.

What happens if a payment fails?

Nothing immediately. Your card is retried automatically, and the service keeps running for three days. If it is still unpaid after that the service is suspended, not deleted, and your data stays put. Pay the invoice and it comes straight back.

It does not stay suspended forever. A service that is still suspended and unpaid 14 days later may be terminated and its data deleted, because we are still paying for the machine it sits on. We email you before that happens, and once the data is gone we cannot get it back. If you are in difficulty, open a ticket before the deadline rather than after it, and we will work something out.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes, on your first order of a hosting plan, and the window matches the term you chose: 7 days monthly, 14 days quarterly, 21 days on six monthly and 30 days yearly. A refund window as long as the term would just be a free term, and we pay for the machine either way.

Domain registrations are never included, because the registry fee is spent the moment the name is registered and cannot be recovered by us.

Can I move an existing site to you?

Yes. Shared hosting is standard cPanel, so a cPanel backup from your current host restores directly. If you are coming from something else, open a ticket and we will tell you honestly whether it is straightforward before you commit.

Shared hosting

Websites, email and WordPress.

Which control panel do you use?

cPanel, the standard one. If you have used shared hosting before, it is the interface you already know, and it means your backups are portable to any other cPanel host.

Can I run Node.js, Python or Ruby, or is it PHP only?

All of them. Our shared servers run the CloudLinux application selectors, so you can deploy Node.js, Python and Ruby apps from cPanel alongside PHP. A lot of shared hosting cannot do this, so it is worth checking against anyone you are comparing us with.

How many sites and how much storage do I get?

Starter is one site on 10 GB. Pro is ten sites on 25 GB. Business is thirty sites on 40 GB. All three include unmetered bandwidth, free SSL and daily backups.

Do I get a free domain?

On Pro and Business, yes, for the first year on an annual term, from a set list of common extensions shown at checkout. Starter does not include one. After the first year the domain renews at its normal price, which we show you up front.

Is email included?

Yes. Starter includes ten mailboxes and Pro and Business are unlimited. Bear in mind that shared hosting email is best suited to normal business correspondence rather than bulk sending, which our acceptable use policy covers.

VPS hosting

Root access and your choice of OS.

Do I get full root access?

Yes, on every VPS, along with your choice of operating system and one-click reinstalls from your dashboard. You can also start, stop, reboot and rebuild the machine yourself without opening a ticket.

Is the VPS managed?

The hardware, network and hypervisor are ours to worry about. The operating system and anything you install on it are yours. If you want someone else running the OS, shared hosting is usually the better fit.

Is this your own hardware?

No, and we would rather say so plainly. Our VPS range is capacity we buy from established providers and operate on top of, with our own provisioning, monitoring and support. Our shared hosting and game servers do run on hardware we manage directly.

What is the difference between the Arm and AMD lines?

Arm gives you the most performance per pound and runs anything compiled for arm64, which today is most things. AMD is x86, so it runs everything without you having to check. If you are unsure, take AMD.

Do I get a dedicated IPv4 address?

Yes, plus IPv6, and DDoS protection is included rather than being an upsell.

Security and privacy

What we hold and how.

Do you store my card details?

No. Payments run through Stripe and your card details go to them directly. We store an identifier so we can bill the correct card and nothing more, so we could not read your card number if we wanted to.

Is SSL included or an extra?

Included free on every hosting plan, issued and renewed automatically. We do not sell certificates separately.

How are my passwords and server credentials stored?

Account passwords are hashed, so nobody here can read them. Server and panel credentials are encrypted at rest and only decrypted on the one path that displays them to you.

Who can see my account if I add a team member or a developer?

Only what you grant. A manager can run your services and place orders but can never see or use your payment details, and you can remove their access at any time from your account settings. Billing stays with you.
