Comparing hosts

Seven things to check before you choose a web host

Low prices often leave out the details that matter when something goes wrong. Ask any host these questions. Here are our answers.

What to ask	Why it matters	Our answer
Where are the servers?	It affects how fast your site loads in the UK and where your customers’ data is kept.	Two data centres in Manchester
How often are backups taken?	A daily backup can lose a whole day of orders or emails.	Every six hours, stored off-site
Can I restore a backup myself?	Waiting for support to restore a file wastes time.	Yes, from JetBackup in cPanel
How much CPU and memory do I get?	“Unlimited” plans still have limits, often only in the small print.	2 CPU cores and 4 GB of memory on every plan
Is SSL included?	Browsers warn visitors away from sites without it.	Free on every domain, renewed for you
Will you move my website?	Moving a site yourself can break email and links.	Yes, free on every plan
Is there a contract?	A long contract is hard to leave if the service is poor.	No contract, and 60 days to get your money back

Web hosting questions

Anything else? Open a ticket or email hello@webhostgb.com. We reply within one business day, usually within a few hours.

Where are your servers?

In two data centres in Manchester, certified to ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS. Your website, email and backups stay in the UK. See our data centres.

Will you move my website from my current host?

Yes, for free on every hosting plan. We copy your files, databases and email, check the site works on our servers, then you switch your domain over.

Which plan should I choose?

For one website, Web Starter at £2.99 a month is enough. If you have a few sites or need email for a team, Web Plus. If your site runs on WordPress, our WordPress hosting adds WP Toolkit Deluxe for staging and safe updates.

How often is my site backed up?

Every six hours, with JetBackup. Backups are stored off-site and you can restore a file, a database or the whole account from cPanel.

Is there a contract?

No. Hosting is paid monthly or yearly and you can cancel at any time. New hosting accounts have a 60-day money-back guarantee.

How do I get support?

Open a ticket from your client area or email us. A real person in the UK replies within one business day, usually within a few hours.

Do you build websites as well?

Yes. Our managed website is £47 a month. We design it, write the words, host it and make up to 10 changes a month.

Do I own my domain and website?

Yes. Domains are registered in your name, and you can download your files and databases from cPanel whenever you like.

What's the difference between web hosting and WordPress hosting?

Both run on the same Manchester servers with the same security and backups. WordPress hosting adds WP Toolkit Deluxe, with staging copies and updates that are tested before they go live. For any other kind of site, choose web hosting.

Can I move to a bigger plan later?

Yes. You can move up a plan at any time, and your website stays where it is.

Is an SSL certificate included?

Yes. Every domain and subdomain gets a free Let’s Encrypt certificate, installed and renewed for you. See how to install a free SSL certificate.

Which control panel do you use?

cPanel, with Softaculous for one-click installs and JetBackup for restoring backups. Our help centre has step-by-step guides for each part of it.
