Hosting & Domain Setup in Cardiff

Your Cardiff business website needs hosting that's fast, secure, and reliable. Every second of downtime means missed customers, lost revenue, and damage to your reputation in the Cardiff business community. Yet many Cardiff businesses are stuck on cheap shared hosting that delivers poor performance, minimal security, and zero support when things go wrong.

Our managed hosting service for Cardiff businesses starts at just £39/month and includes everything you need: fast UK-based servers, SSL certificates, daily backups, email hosting, and dedicated support from our South Wales team. No shared servers clogged with thousands of other sites, your Cardiff business gets the performance it deserves.

Whether you're a startup in Tramshed Tech, a professional services firm at Cardiff Gate Business Park, or an independent shop on Albany Road, our hosting keeps your website online and performing 24/7.

Shared hosting means your Cardiff website shares server resources with hundreds or thousands of other websites. During peak traffic times, like when a Cardiff City match finishes and people search for local restaurants, or when a marketing campaign drives visitors to your site, shared hosting slows to a crawl because everyone else is competing for the same resources.

Most budget hosting providers use servers in the US or mainland Europe. This adds 100-200ms of latency to every page load for your Cardiff customers. It doesn't sound like much, but Google measures Core Web Vitals in milliseconds, and this additional latency pushes your site below competitors hosted on UK servers.

Security on shared hosting is only as strong as the weakest site on your server. If another website sharing your server gets hacked, your Cardiff business site can be compromised too, even if you've done everything right on your end.

Support from large hosting companies means waiting in queues, explaining your problem to someone reading from a script, and hoping for a resolution within 48-72 hours. For a Cardiff business losing customers every hour the site is down, this timeline is unacceptable.

UK-based servers: Your Cardiff business website is hosted on high-performance UK servers, delivering the fastest possible loading times for your local audience. Typical page loads under 1 second for Cardiff visitors.

SSL certificates included: Free SSL certificate setup and renewal. The padlock icon in your visitors' browser builds trust, and Google ranks SSL-secured sites higher. Essential for Cardiff businesses processing payments or collecting customer data.

Daily automated backups: Your entire website is backed up every 24 hours with 30-day retention. If anything goes wrong, we restore your site quickly with zero data loss.

Email hosting: Professional email addresses on your domain (you@yourbusiness.co.uk) with reliable delivery and spam filtering. No more relying on free Gmail addresses that undermine your Cardiff business credibility.

99.9% uptime guarantee: Our infrastructure is designed for reliability. Your Cardiff customers can reach your website any time, day or night. If we fail to meet our uptime commitment, you receive service credits.

Managed updates: We handle server software updates, security patches, and configuration changes so your hosting stays secure and up-to-date without any effort from you.

.co.uk domains: The gold standard for Cardiff businesses targeting UK customers. Signals trustworthiness and locality. We recommend this for most Cardiff businesses, it's what your customers expect to see.

.com domains: Best if your Cardiff business serves international clients or has global ambitions. Common for Cardiff tech companies and businesses in the Central Square innovation cluster.

.wales and .cymru domains: Distinctive domain extensions that highlight your Welsh identity. Ideal for Cardiff businesses that want to stand out and demonstrate local pride. Can be used alongside a .co.uk domain for brand protection.

Domain strategy: We advise Cardiff businesses to register their primary domain plus common misspellings and alternative extensions to protect their brand. We handle all the technical DNS setup so your domains point to the right place.

Already have a website hosted elsewhere? We handle the entire migration process for Cardiff businesses at no extra cost. This includes transferring all files, databases, email accounts, and DNS records with zero downtime.

We test everything on our servers before switching DNS, so your Cardiff customers never see a disruption. The entire migration typically completes within 24-48 hours.
