Hosting often starts simply.
Before long you've got 50 sites.
Then 200. Maybe 1,000.
You're a web designer, developer or IT business. A customer needs somewhere to host their website, so you host it for them. Then another customer does. And another. What was once straightforward recurring revenue has become something else entirely.
Servers need replacing. cPanel and Plesk licences keep getting more expensive. PHP versions change. Websites need moving. Backups need checking. Security needs managing. Customers raise tickets. And when something breaks in the middle of the night, somebody has to deal with it.
We know, because we've been there.
Hosting UK has been hosting websites since 1998. We've built hosting platforms, inherited old ones, migrated customers, consolidated servers and dealt with plenty of technology that seemed like a good idea ten years earlier. If you're questioning whether you really want to keep running all of this yourself, we'd like to talk.
The customers aren't the problem.
In fact, they're probably the best bit.
You've spent years building those relationships. Your customers trust you. Hosting provides valuable recurring revenue and often sits naturally alongside the other services you provide.
We're not suggesting you give that up.
Instead, Hosting UK can take responsibility for more of what sits underneath it.
You look after your customers.
We help look after the platform.
Preferential reseller pricing.
Move your customers onto infrastructure managed by Hosting UK.
Become the hosting platform behind your brand.
The relationship can be as simple or as involved as you need it to be.
Predictable costs
Preferential partner pricing based on your estate and volumes - and, for the right partnership, guaranteed pricing for a defined term. When a licence or platform supplier puts its prices up, that doesn't automatically become your problem.
Less infrastructure to manage
Hardware refreshes, control panel licences, PHP versions, patching, backups and out-of-hours cover. We already run all of it at scale from Maidenhead, so you don't have to keep investing in it yourself.
Keep your customers
You look after your customers. We help look after the platform. Your brand, your billing relationship, your account management - white-label where it makes sense.
Predictable costs.
No nasty surprises.
Running a hosting business becomes much harder when you don't know what your suppliers are going to charge next year. Licence increases. Platform increases. Infrastructure increases. They all eventually land with you.
If you're bringing an established customer base to Hosting UK, we'll look at the relationship differently. We can provide preferential partner pricing based on your estate, volumes and the services you need.
For the right partnership, we can also agree guaranteed pricing for a defined term, giving you certainty over your hosting costs even when underlying suppliers increase their prices.

Focus on your business growth - let us take care of the rest
You may want to grow your hosting business.
You may want to keep the recurring revenue but spend less time operating the platform.
You might want access to better infrastructure without investing in it yourself.
Or perhaps hosting simply isn't where you want to spend your time anymore.
All of those are perfectly reasonable.
We've spent more than 25 years running hosting businesses, moving customers and managing infrastructure. We understand the value of a good hosting customer base. We also understand the work involved in looking after one properly.
So before you buy another server, renew another stack of licences or commit to another few years of doing everything yourself, talk to us.
Selling up rather than partnering? We also buy hosting businesses, and customer segments.
Let's talk about what you're running.
You don't need a specification or detailed inventory. Rough numbers are fine.
- How many websites?
- A rough figure is plenty.
- How many customers?
- A rough figure is plenty.
- How many domains?
- A rough figure is plenty.
- How many servers?
- A rough figure is plenty.
And most importantly: what's becoming a pain?
Licence costs, ageing hardware, out-of-hours cover, migrations, time lost to tickets - tell us in your own words. We'll take a look at what you're running and tell you where we think Hosting UK could help. No standard package. No obligation to move anything. Just a conversation with people who understand hosting.
