Hosting built around your platform — not the other way round

Most shared hosting is set up to work well enough for everything. Platform-optimised hosting is different.

Whether you’re running WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Joomla or another modern CMS, we tune our servers to suit how that platform actually behaves. That means better performance, fewer weird issues, and far less time spent tweaking settings just to make things stable.

In short: your site runs the way it should, without relying on piles of performance plugins or risky config hacks.

What does platform-optimised hosting mean?

It means the hosting environment is tuned specifically for how modern platforms behave. Instead of a one-size-fits-all setup, we adjust caching, PHP, database settings and resources to suit platforms like WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento and Joomla — without you needing to touch config files.

Is this better than standard shared hosting?

For dynamic or content-heavy sites, yes. Standard shared hosting is designed to work for anything at a basic level. Platform-optimised hosting goes further, delivering faster page loads, better stability and fewer performance-related issues straight out of the box.

Do I need this for WordPress?

You don’t have to use it, but WordPress benefits hugely from a tuned environment. If your site relies on plugins, handles regular traffic, or needs to stay responsive under load, platform-optimised hosting will give you noticeably better performance than generic shared hosting.

Does it support Magento and Joomla?

Yes. We support a wide range of platforms, including Magento and Joomla, each with appropriate server-level optimisation. You also get direct access to our UK-based support team, who understand these platforms and how they behave in the real world.

Practical performance improvements, built into the platform

NVMe Storage


All platform-optimised plans run on NVMe storage, which is significantly faster than traditional SSDs. That means quicker database queries, faster page loads, and better performance for dynamic CMS-driven sites.

The benefit is simple: your site feels more responsive, especially under load, without you needing to change anything or manage the underlying technology.

Developer-friendly by default


Our hosting is designed for people who build and manage websites for a living — not just for clicking around control panels.

You get SSH access, support for modern runtimes, and sensible defaults that make development, deployment and maintenance straightforward. Popular CMS platforms are easy to deploy, and staging tools are available where they make sense.

Page & object caching


Caching is one of the biggest performance wins for CMS-based websites — when it’s done properly.

We configure page and object caching at server level to reduce repeated work, speed up page delivery, and lower server load. The result is faster sites that remain stable during traffic spikes, without relying solely on plugin-based fixes.

LiteSpeed Cache


LiteSpeed Cache integrates directly with the web server, allowing content to be served far more efficiently than traditional PHP-based caching alone.

This is particularly effective for platforms like WordPress and Magento, where dynamic content and logged-in users can otherwise limit performance gains.

Faster CMS performance with LiteSpeed Cache

Server-level caching tuned for modern content management systems

WordPress Logo

WordPress


WordPress performs best when the hosting understands how it works behind the scenes. Our platform-optimised setup reduces database load, improves page delivery, and handles logged-in users far more efficiently than generic shared hosting.

The result is a WordPress site that feels faster, stays responsive under traffic, and relies less on performance plugins to paper over hosting limitations.

Drupal Logo

Drupal


Drupal sites are powerful, but they can be demanding on hosting if the environment isn’t properly tuned.

Our LiteSpeed-powered platform is configured to support Drupal’s dynamic content and caching requirements, delivering faster response times and a more stable experience for content-heavy or high-traffic sites.

Magento Logo

Magento


Magento places heavy demands on server resources, particularly around caching, PHP execution and database performance.

We optimise our platform specifically for Magento stores, helping pages load faster, checkout remain responsive, and performance stay consistent as traffic and catalogue size grow.

Joomla Logo

Joomla


Joomla benefits from a hosting environment that can handle dynamic modules and frequent database interactions efficiently.

Our platform-optimised hosting reduces overhead at server level, improving page delivery and reliability without requiring complex configuration or third-party fixes.

WooCommerce Logo

WooCommerce


WooCommerce sites need more than raw speed — they need consistency, especially for logged-in users and checkout flows.

With LiteSpeed caching and tuned PHP settings, WooCommerce stores benefit from faster catalogue browsing, smoother checkouts and improved stability during traffic spikes.

PrestaShop Logo

PrestaShop


PrestaShop relies heavily on efficient caching and fast database access to deliver a smooth shopping experience.

Our platform-optimised environment is configured to support PrestaShop’s performance needs, helping pages load quickly and keeping stores responsive even as demand increases.

Platform-optimised hosting vs standard shared hosting

Not all shared hosting is the same. Platform-optimised hosting is built for modern, dynamic websites — while standard shared hosting is designed to work acceptably for almost anything.

Standard shared hosting

  • Generic server configuration for all sites
  • Performance relies heavily on plugins
  • Basic caching, often at application level only
  • Fine for small or low-traffic sites
  • Limited headroom during traffic spikes
  • Minimal platform-specific tuning

Standard shared hosting is a good starting point, but it can quickly become a bottleneck as sites grow or become more dynamic.

Platform-optimised hosting

  • Server settings tuned for specific platforms
  • LiteSpeed caching at web-server level
  • Improved PHP, database and memory handling
  • Handles dynamic content and logged-in users better
  • More consistent performance under load
  • Fewer workarounds and plugin-based fixes

Designed for real-world CMS sites that need to stay fast, stable and responsive as traffic and complexity increase.

Free website migration

Moving your site doesn’t need to be a hassle

If you’re switching from another hosting provider, we’ll handle the move for you — carefully, securely, and with minimal disruption.

If your current hosting uses cPanel, we can usually perform a full account migration using your login details. This includes your website files, databases, email accounts and settings.

Coming from a different control panel? That’s fine too. The process may be more hands-on, but our UK-based support team will guide you through it and make sure everything is moved across properly.

Free migration is available to new customers.

Frequent, off-server backups

Your site is backed up automatically throughout the day, with multiple restore points retained. Backups are stored off-server and can be restored at file, directory or full-account level — either by us or directly through your control panel.

It’s there when you need it, and invisible when you don’t.

SSL included as standard

All hosting accounts include automatic SSL certificates via Let’s Encrypt, with renewal handled for you. Your sites are encrypted by default, without any setup or maintenance required.

Commercial SSL certificates are fully supported if required.

If your site has outgrown generic shared hosting, this is the next logical step.
