Web Hosting

Use our free Migration Centre to transfer all website files, databases and email from any provider using cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, Heart Internet and Fasthosts. Simply enter the credentials of your provider and choose which packages you’d like to migrate. The migration will complete automatically.

If you’d prefer, we can help migrate all your websites instead. Once you’ve signed-up, give our Support Team the details of your current web hosting and we’ll get to work, quickly migrating your websites and emails from your previous host. All migrations are free, however many sites you have.

We have multiple data centres in the UK and the USA. You can choose between having your website(s) hosted in the UK or USA when you set up your hosting. We also have our free CDN, which will store copies of your public site content at data centres around the world. So your website will load quickly – for everyone!

If you choose Managed Cloud Hosting with Amazon and Google, you'll have a choice of numerous international locations for your origin data centre.

Our hosting is Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant and includes a range of security features, all as standard.

You don’t have to be tied in to any long-term contracts, so you can upgrade should you need more websites or need more resource. Our Linux hosting is our most versatile hosting, because you can use any of the major content management systems.

If you’re running a large ecommerce concern and have specialist needs, we’d recommend our Managed Hosting.

But for most new businesses, our shared web hosting is ideal.

Traditional shared hosting is a type of hosting where a single server hosts multiple sites. Users are allocated resources within the limits of that server where they can host their website files, email and databases.

Hosting websites on a single server has many drawbacks, especially when it comes to speed and reliability.

Our next-gen autoscaling shared hosting is different, drawing on the power of our entire platform and not just one server.

Intelligent global load balancing responds to traffic and balances it across multiple servers when needed. Plus, busy sites are isolated from others, so they won’t affect another site’s performance. Any of our web servers can serve any website we host at any time.

20i Managed Cloud Hosting is a type of hosting built for high performance. In contrast to shared hosting, server resources – CPU cores, RAM and storage – are available for your website only. They are not shared.

You can host as many websites as you like on our Managed Cloud Hosting, although that number depends on the size of the websites, and how much server resource each site uses. You can choose how much resource you need when you start with us, and we’re here to help if you need any advice.

You can choose whether your website is based on the 20iCloud, Amazon Web Services or the Google Cloud Platform.

We offer a full range of Managed Cloud Hosting, from hosting suitable for single sites – like on this page – to hosting suitable for many, large complex sites. You can see our full range here: Managed Cloud Hosting.

Yes, our shared hosting is Linux hosting. However, our Shared WordPress Hosting gets its own WordPress-optimised Linux platform, which includes the multi-site 20i WordPress Manager and WordPress Tools.

Again, our Managed Hosting is also Linux-based, but this can be optimised for WordPress or Magento.

How you think of cheap hosting is relative. Don't forget ‘you get what you pay for’!

We don't have the cheapest web hosting, but we have the best value.

No other host offers such fast web hosting with this many optimisation and performance enhancements for this kind of money. You won’t be offered any of those costly ‘optional extras’ when you buy web hosting from 20i.

SSD stands for ‘Solid State Disk’: a form of storage that doesn't have any moving parts. Traditionally, the hosting industry has used HDD (Hard Disk Drive) for its storage solutions, which does have moving parts. In fact, a lot of hosts still use them.

Because SSD drives don't have any moving parts SSD hosting can process information much quicker than their HDD counterparts and are much more reliable.

Some hosts try to save money by only using SSD hosting for their cache. This lets them advertise that they use SSD, when in fact if someone visits an uncached page they hit the much slower HDD drive.

At 20i all our customers are hosted using the latest top-spec Samsung SSD drives. It's one of the reasons why we’re a fast web host.
