Without your website being hosted somewhere, it would be impossible for anyone to access your website online. Every website is hosted somewhere.

The short answer is no, however we would extremely recommend that you stay with us because our packages offer the best value for money and will save you hiring a developer to set-up your website on another host.

You own your website fully, however if you wish to move your website to a new host then it will be your responsibility to complete the whole process. We’d strongly recommend that you hire a developer to complete this process for you as you will need to move your website’s files and databases to your new host, using an FTP client. You will then also need to point your domain to your new host. 

If you are using our email service provided with our hosting, then you will also lose access to your existing mailbox when your move host. You will be able to set up the same email address again with your new host, however you may lose emails in the transition period and also anything that was in your previous mailboxes will be lost.

We offer great value with our hosting and our fully managed hosting makes life easy for you as we do all the hard work! So we’d strongly recommend that you stay with us.

You don’t need to select one of our maintenance packages, however, if you have a large website such as an e-commerce website, or a website with complex features, we’d recommend that you select at least our Essentials Package which ensures that your website maintenance and security updates are taken care of. 

Essential Maintenance and Security Updates ensures that your website is always running smoothly. Our websites are built to last anyway, but websites that have complex features or e-commerce features, will require updates for security purposes from time to time. This is where the developers of third-party plugins and software release new versions in order to protect your visitors from security issues that hackers may exploit.

Selecting a maintenance plan keeps your website secure and online at all times and if there’s any issues with your website, we’ll take care of it. If you’d like us to take care of content updates to your website, select one of our plans that include development hours each month or get in touch if you’d like to discuss a one-off update.

You can cancel, upgrade or downgrade your plan any time, by visiting your account here.

Please note that cancelling your hosting with us will result in your website being taken offline. If you wish to move host then you’ll be responsible for migrating your website to your new host. Any email accounts will also be lost.
