WordPress plans
Pick a plan and we move you over free. Hosting plans differ on sites and storage. The managed WordPress platform underneath is the same on every tier, and every WordPress hosting plan has real UK support behind it.
For one WordPress site you want hosted properly.
For a growing site or a few builds.
For an established business with several sites.
Priority resources for the busiest sites.
Every plan includes
Running a non-WordPress app, or something heavier? Our cloud hosting runs Laravel, PHP and Node.js too, and our managed VPS & dedicated servers go a step further.
What's included
No upsells for the basics. Every hosting package ships with the speed, security and managed tooling a WordPress website needs, whether it is your own or a client's.
Server-level caching tuned for WordPress out of the box.
Flash storage on AMD EPYC-class hardware in UK data centres, for fast TTFB.
Install WordPress from the hosting control panel in one click, on the latest version of WordPress and PHP.
Switch on automatic core and plugin updates if you want them, or manage them yourself. Your site, your call.
Clone your site, try WordPress themes and plugins, then push to live when you are happy.
Restore in a couple of clicks. Kept off-site for 30 days.
A firewall and scanning in front of the most-attacked CMS there is.
Auto-issued and renewed on every domain on your hosting account.
We move your WordPress over with no downtime on a normal move, and test it first.
Email accounts and unlimited bandwidth as standard on every plan.

Speed
LiteSpeed with LSCache, object caching and all-NVMe ship on the cheapest plan and the most expensive one alike, configured specifically for WordPress. The LSCache plugin for WordPress caches suitable pages and lets you test uncached requests separately, including the WooCommerce basket and checkout. Servers sit in three Tier 3 UK data centres, so UK visitors get UK server locations.

These are Google's targets for a good page experience. They are not measured results or a hosting performance guarantee.
Test representative pages before and after migration. Themes, images, plugins, caching and visitor devices all affect the result.

Managed WordPress hosting on a platform built for it. A staging copy to test core, plugin and theme updates before they go live, daily backups to roll back from, a WAF and malware scanning keeping watch, and LiteSpeed and object caching optimised for WordPress out of the box.
We look after the managed hosting platform. You look after the site, with the tools to do it safely.
Daily off-site backups, so you can roll back in a couple of clicks if an update misbehaves.
Build and test on a clone, then push to production in a click.
LiteSpeed, LSCache and object caching cut database work on every request.
Containerised WordPress with CPU and RAM that are yours, not pooled.
DDoS protection
Filtering runs upstream of our network, 24 hours a day, on every plan. There is nothing to switch on and nothing to add to your bill. We are alerted the moment an attack starts.

Filtering is already running when an attack begins, so there is no window where you are waiting for it to be switched on. The first you hear about it is usually us telling you it happened.

UK engineers move your WordPress website over from your current hosting provider, with no downtime on a normal move, and on qualifying plans we match your remaining prepaid balance as account credit. Move one site or all your client sites in one scheduled migration.
Start my free migrationPoint us at your current web host and the WordPress sites you want moved. No export wrangling at your end, we take it from here.
We bring across the database, uploads, plugins and theme, and test on a temporary URL. Your old site stays live until you are happy.
Once it all checks out, we flip the DNS for a zero-downtime cutover and credit your remaining prepaid balance to your Snappyhost account.
WordPress support on every plan, from UK engineers who know WordPress and run the hosting platform themselves.
How we compare
The short version, for choosing the right hosting for a WordPress site.
Standard shared web hosting will run WordPress. It runs a lot of other things too, so nothing on the server is set up with WordPress in mind. Our WordPress hosting plans are the same cloud hosting platform tuned for WordPress: LiteSpeed with the LSCache plugin, object caching, a 1-click WordPress installation, staging, optional automatic updates and daily backups, all on the hosting account from the first day.
Managed here means we run the hosting platform. Patching, the web server, PHP versions, the firewall and malware scanning are ours. The WordPress installation, its plugins and its theme stay yours, with staging and backups so you can change them safely. If you want root access and a server of your own to configure, WordPress on a managed UK VPS is the better fit.
Green hosting
Our servers run on energy-efficient AMD EPYC hardware, powered by green energy. Through our Greenspark partnership we fund tree planting, clean water projects and carbon projects.
We think web hosting can make a difference, and we're doing our part.
In partnership with Greenspark
Every plan you host with us funds tree planting, clean water and carbon projects.
LiteSpeed and LSCache can serve cached pages without rebuilding them in PHP on every visit. Logged-in sessions, baskets and checkouts need different rules, so a fast cached homepage is only one part of a WooCommerce test. Our LSCache guide explains what to cache and what to check.
Use staging to test plugin and theme changes before publishing them. Keep a restorable backup, test forms and orders after each change, and compare the page on mobile as well as desktop. For a move, we agree the file, database and DNS steps first; see our website migration checklist.
Check performance on your own representative pages: record the test location, device, cache state and date, then compare several runs. Our platform page explains the hardware and software behind the plans. Site design, plugins and third-party scripts also affect the result.
