UK-based web servers

We use state-of-the-art web servers just north of London, with ultra-fast connections to the main internet trunk routes, meaning your visitors will be able to load your website with lightning speed.

Automatic health check every few minutes

An automatic health check runs every few minutes, checking your website is loading properly, and proactively alerting our technicians if there’s any issues.  We take uptime seriously!

Reliability

Our website hosting exceeds 99.9% uptime.  Your website deserves great hosting and that’s why we’ve invested in some of the most advanced web hosting available in the UK.  Technicians are on-site looking after our web servers 24/7.

Visitor stats / analytics

Access a range of detailed visitor reports and receive a weekly summary email.  Have a look at our visitor stats page to see the reports you could have for your own website.

Software updates

We install important security updates and new versions of your website software, helping to keep your website safe from security vulnerabilities.  We manually check your website after each update, so we’ll handle the technical stuff for you!

Enhanced security

Your website is protected by our security firewall system, exclusive to Primary Image, to help keep your WordPress website safe from common attacks.  We also strengthen your website’s configuration, following security best practices and our own research over several years.  Additionally, to help protect login details and personal data, we can run your website over a secure HTTPS connection.

Nightly backups

We automatically backup all your website files every single night, so you have no worries about losing data.  These backups are stored securely away from your website’s hosting account.

Service Level Agreement

For businesses, we offer a guaranteed Service Level Agreement (SLA) for extra peace of mind, which includes compensation credits for downtime and priority response times.  (Only included in the Business and Enterprise plans).

And, of course:

Friendly, efficient support

We’re here to help you.  Simply raise your support requests via our brand-new online system (launching soon!) and we normally respond back within minutes!  We’re 100% based in the UK (Southend-on-Sea to be precise!).  For our Business and Enterprise customers, we also include phone support for free.

We genuinely take a different approach to most other hosting companies, because we offer a personal level of service.  That’s why our customers choose to stay with us!

Knowledgeable about WordPress

Our experience speaks for itself.  We have been designing websites for over fifteen years, including for some of the biggest brands in the UK, such as National Express and Transport for London.  We’ve given talks at some of the biggest web design conferences on the calendar to share our expert knowledge.  So, hosting your website with us means it’s in safe hands!

Not with us?

What might you expect from a budget hosting company?

High reliability

Does your web host publish their uptime stats, like we do at Primary Image?  Watch out for budget hosting companies who cram their web servers full of website accounts, which means they run slowly or suffer from regular downtime.  Does your web host have backup servers, multiple power supplies and multiple connections to the internet?  We average over 99.9% uptime!

Included with Primary Image

UK-based web servers

You might find cheap hosting abroad, but beware!  It’ll be slower for your visitors than UK-based servers;  their overnight maintenance might actually be during normal UK hours;  they may be harder to get in touch with;  and there could be legal considerations if you’re storing customer information overseas.

Included with Primary Image

Real monitoring

Most hosting companies just monitor the server hardware.  We run a full page load test on your website every two minutes to check it’s loading properly and we receive alerts if there’s a problem.  Virtually no other hosting companies do this!  These kind of checks can set you back about £9 a month if paid for by yourself (see Pingdom or Uptrends)!

Included with Primary Image

Extra security

Most web designers simply install a WordPress site and don’t think about adding extra security to help protect your website from attacks.  Budget hosts also rarely spend as much on security prevention.  We take this seriously and install our own security firewall on your website.

Included with Primary Image

Automatic backups

With most hosting companies you have to make manual backups yourself (both the files and MySQL databases) and know how to restore the files too.  Finding a good automatic backup solution for WordPress costs money (e.g. VaultPress).  It’s included for free with Primary Image!

Included with Primary Image

Secure backups

If your host, or WordPress plugin, does take automatic backups of your website, are they stored away from your hosting account?  If not, any file corruption or hacking attempt on your hosting account may also destroy your website backup.

Included with Primary Image

WordPress updates

It’s vital you regularly install security updates to WordPress and your plugins, otherwise you risk your website being vulnerable to attack. Most hosting companies will not do this for you.

Included with Primary Image

Manual checks after each update

If you’re with a WordPress-dedicated web host, they may offer automatic WordPress updates, but what happens if your website breaks during the process (which does unfortunately happen from time-to-time!).  You don’t want a problem highlighted only when a visitor tells you!

Included with Primary Image

Extra benefits

Does your host setup and provide visitor stats (emailed to you each week);  WordPress spam protection;  speed optimisation;  or a Service Level Agreement?  Take a look at our packages above to see the features included in our hosting plans!
