Website hosting from your web design agency

We usually host the websites we build and provide ongoing support as a paid service. If you prefer to own the hosting environment, we can maintain your site with one of our recommended providers.

Talk it through

Hosting that fits your website and the support you need to run it

A simple information site and a busy online shop place different demands on hosting. Choose capacity and support around how the site is used and what an interruption would mean for the business.

  • Gymbox
  • Cablecraft
  • Wood Finishes Direct
  • Pineapple
  • Shoal Group
  • Hagley West

What to check in a hosting service

The hosting environment should suit the website, with a clear understanding of the support and ongoing costs involved.

  • Capacity matched to the website

    Consider software requirements, traffic, storage and likely busy periods.

  • Certificate management

    Confirm who issues, renews and checks the site's security certificate.

  • Recoverable backups

    Storage location, retention and restoration arrangements should be documented.

  • Monitoring and response

    Find out what is monitored, who receives alerts and when support is available.

  • A place to test changes

    A staging environment can allow changes to be checked before release.

  • Clear account access

    You own the website. If you choose to own the hosting environment too, it needs to be with one of our recommended hosts for Amply to maintain it.

    Holly WatsonFounder, Horizon Sports
  • “Really happy with how our new website has turned out. We wanted something that looked professional, was easy for customers to use and showed off the work we do, and that's exactly what we've got. The whole process was really easy, and it was great having someone who understood what we were after and could bring our ideas to life. Would happily recommend!”

Understand the service behind the monthly cost

The hosting fee may cover infrastructure alone or include additional management. Compare the actual scope: backups, recovery, certificates, support and capacity limits, as well as the headline price.

Hosting and ongoing support are paid services. Depending on the website, there may also be separate charges for domains, software licences or third-party apps.

Questions about hosting

  • How much does hosting cost?

    The cost depends on the website and the support it needs. Hosting and ongoing support are charged separately from the website build.

  • Do I have to host with you?

    We usually host the sites we create, but you can choose to own your hosting environment. If Amply is maintaining the site, the provider must be on our recommended list.

  • Who owns the domain?

    . Domain control and access should be documented independently of the hosting arrangement.

  • Who owns the website?

    You do. Hosting and ongoing support are separate services. Platform subscriptions and third-party licences may still be needed to run the website, depending on how it is built.

  • Is it faster than cheap shared hosting?

    Performance depends on the hosting setup, workload and website itself. Compare response times under relevant conditions; the price or hosting category alone does not establish which will be faster.

  • Does it include maintenance?

    We provide hosting and ongoing support as paid services. The agreed support scope sets out which maintenance tasks are included alongside the hosting.
