👋 Hey there!
best web hosting.
We host one-page brochure sites, 100,000-page monsters, and most things in between. Some sit on a shared Plesk server, some get a dedicated machine with their own nameservers. WordPress, WooCommerce, OpenCart and Bagisto all live happily here, along with plenty of bespoke PHP.
If you want a company that keeps your website online, makes sure the contact forms work and never lets an SSL expire, talk to us. We keep hundreds of websites online every day, and fully managed hosting starts at £1 a day + VAT.

We’re not saying we are the best, we are saying you need the best, and the only way to work out the best web hosting for your business is to talk to a human first. The big cheap providers will sell you a dream at £2.99 a month. What they won’t mention is that you’ll outgrow it within months and be migrating all over again.
Not every website is the same. Some run older PHP versions, some need very specific server conditions to work at all, and we host plenty of both. If you are not sure what the best web hosting is for you, get in touch and we will tell you honestly, even if the answer is that you should stay put.

Website Hosting Services
There are a lot of hosting products out there and most of the names mean nothing. We like to keep things simple, so here are the three shapes most of our customers fit.
Nothing here quite fits? Ring us anyway. This page is short because nobody enjoys scrolling through forty hosting products, not because these three are all we do.
Small Business Website & Email Hosting
One website plus email accounts, fully managed, from £1 a day + VAT. Less than your morning coffee, and it comes with people who answer the phone.
Free SSL certificates, daily off-site backups, Cloudflare DNS and full access to your files and emails via Plesk if you want it. Most customers never log in, and that’s the point of managed.
Larger Business Website & Email Hosting
Several websites, a pile of mailboxes, or an OpenCart or WooCommerce shop that needs proper resources? That gets priced on a quick call, sized to what you actually run.
Website and email migrations are free, and we will help your team get mail working on their phones. Agencies who look after sites for their own clients can ask us about managed reseller accounts too.
Custom Website & Email Hosting
Got something big going off? Need a beasty server of your own?
UK dedicated servers, fully managed by us. We work with the country’s leading data centre providers, we do the patching and monitoring, and we price each machine on a quick call because no two big projects need the same kit.
| What changes | Cheap hosting | Fully managed hosting |
|---|---|---|
| Who applies the updates | You do. WordPress core, plugins and the PHP version are yours to keep on top of. | We do. Core, theme and plugin updates, then a check that the site still works. |
| Where the backups live | Often on the same server as the site, and a restore is sometimes a paid extra. Worth reading the plan. | Daily backups kept off-site, so there is a clean copy even when the server itself is the problem. |
| Who answers when it breaks | A ticket queue or a chatbot first, then whoever happens to be on shift. | The people who run the servers. Out of hours that is Olly, our director, on the phone. |
| What happens when you outgrow it | You move the site yourself, or pay for a bigger plan and hope it fits. | We move you. We have merged whole servers, split them, and taken over agency client books. |
| Where the servers are | Depends on the plan, and it is not always the UK. Ask before you buy. | UK data centres. |
| What it costs | A few pounds a month, plus your own time whenever something goes wrong. | £1 a day + VAT, with the work included. |

dijihost News
Most of our blogs will be about hosting but Olly likes to sneak the occasional one in there about something else. Hopefully they’re relevant. Sorry in advance.
Look after websites for clients?
We offer managed reseller hosting for agencies. We do the server work, you keep the client relationship. It’s white-label and Plesk-based, with dedicated servers available if you need them. Get in touch for a chat about how it works.
Best Website Hosting FAQs
The questions below come up whenever somebody is comparing hosts.
What makes a web hosting provider the best?
Speed, uptime and security matter, but the real difference is what happens when something breaks. The best web hosting comes with people who answer the phone and fix problems before you notice them. Fancy dashboards are nice; a human who knows your website is better.
How much does the best web hosting cost?
Our fully managed UK hosting starts at £1 a day + VAT, around £30 a month + VAT, for one website and email. Bigger setups, shops and dedicated machines are quoted once we know what they have to run. We publish that starting price because ‘contact us for pricing’ annoys us as much as it annoys you.
Are your servers based in the UK?
Yes, all of them. Our servers sit in UK data centres and the people managing them are in Mansfield. That matters for speed to UK visitors, and for businesses that cannot put client data in overseas clouds and need servers they can point to on a map.
Will you migrate my website from my current host?
Yes, and it is free. We copy your website and email over, test everything on our servers, then move the domain across at a quiet time so nothing goes offline. You do not need any technical knowledge and you never have to argue with your old host.
5.0
