The Best UK WordPress Hosting
Many times during our design careers we’ve been asked “what web hosting company do you recommend for UK WordPress Hosting?” – Well it is a tough question as finding a solid, reliable UK web host for WordPress is business critical, you need your site to load fast in today’s web focused market, and you need your WordPress Hosting to be secure.
This is our rating of the best WordPress hosting in the UK:
FreshSites.co.uk
FreshSites offer UK WordPress hosting that comes with WordPress automatically installed. This means no fuss uploading, no configuration, you can just start blogging within minutes of ordering.
Their WordPress hosting is offered on their cloud hosting platform which means its fully redundant, if one of their server nodes crash, your WordPress site is automatically transferred to another in seconds! Their WordPress Hosting is also powered by enterprise quality storage units, each with redundant RAID 10 arrays. This means faster servers that are more reliable.
The Support staff are extremely helpful and respond to support tickets within moments. they know what their doing and its a refreshing welcome to find a web host this good.
They offer a 30 day money back guarantee and even give free domain names with certain packages. We now use FreshSites for all of our hosting needs.
24/7 support, automatic set-up of WordPress and at a really good price (and they nearly always have a special going!!)
TSOHost
We used TSOHost for a several years for our UK WordPress hosting, they have a solid network and a reliable speedy UK based support team.
They offer cPanel based web hosting with 1 click installs of WordPress, they backup any databases and store them in your ftp root for quick access (outside the public_html folder obviously) and their servers are load balanced for best delivery of your WordPress website.
As an example, one of our sites got hit by the “Digg effect” via google news when a big story hit over Christmas, within minutes they let us know about the insane amount of traffic pouring through to our site, let us know how quickly our bandwidth was being used up and offered some further advice about how to speed the caching up – You really can’t ask for better.
Tip: The Clustered Platform: Ultimate Hosting Package utilises cloud servers, which means even less chance of downtime, and even more performance
VPS.NET
VPS.NET offer cloud based virtual servers and cloud hosting ;on a rock solid platform. Their servers have high level redundancy with instant switchover if one of their servers fails.With VPS.NET you can buy blocks of server space and ultimately have 100% control of your hosting environment. if you’re a mid/high level tech setting up a UK WordPress hosting then this is a good option for you.
Another great feature is that they offer GEOHosting services, meaning your website serves its files from the closest server to the end-user, meaning that page load times are insanely good around the globe.
