Honest pricing

The oldest trick in hosting — and why we won't play it.

Most hosting companies advertise a tiny "per month" price — which you usually only get by paying one to three years upfront — then quietly double or triple it at renewal, betting you won't notice until it's already been paid. Here's what that actually costs over three years, in plain numbers.

How most hosts bill you*

Year 1 — the price in the advert£61.08
Year 2 — the "renewal" surprise£141.12
Year 3 — and again£141.12
Their 3-year total£343.32
⚠ The hidden catchThat "per month" advert price is usually only yours if you pay the whole year — or three — up front.

Why choose UKBox

Why 5,000+ websites sit on our servers.

01Our own UK infrastructure

Three physically monitored data centres — London, Coventry, Maidenhead. Not reselling space in someone else's cloud.

02Humans in ten minutes

UK-based support, 365 days a year, with typical replies in ~10 minutes between 8am and 5pm. No chatbots, no hold music — direct answers from the people who actually run your server.

03Renewal honesty

The industry's model is cheap year one, painful year two. Ours isn't. We hold your price for 3 full years — in writing.

04Independent & accountable

UKBox is British-owned and run by the same people who answer your tickets. No call centres, no being passed around — you talk directly to the team who run the servers.

Free migration

Switching hosts is our job, not yours.

Fed up with renewal price hikes or support that never answers? Order any plan, send us one login, and we do the rest — completely free. Every email, folder and flag comes with you.

Zero-loss migration, guaranteed Every message, file and database copied and verified before we switch anything over. Your old host stays untouched until you've seen your site working with us.
1

You order

Pick a plan, then share your current hosting login through the secure form in your client area — never over plain email.

2

We move everything

Website, databases and every mailbox — migrated with specialist tools so not a single email is lost.

3

You carry on

We handle the technical DNS routing and schedule the switchover so your visitors and your email never notice a thing.

Under the bonnet

What your £5.75 actually runs on.

Most hosts hide their hardware behind adjectives — and quietly pack thousands of websites onto every machine. Here's ours, in writing.

Enterprise NVMe + DDR5 ECCAMD EPYC compute with error-correcting memory and enterprise U.2 NVMe drives — the fast, boring kind of reliable.
LiteSpeed everywhereServer-level caching that makes WordPress feel like a static site — no plugin gymnastics required.
Triple-layer securityImunify360, CSF and cPHulk firewalls scanning and blocking around the clock.
Backups that sleep in a different cityDaily account backups plus full Veeam machine images, replicated to a second UK data centre.
Watched by humans, 365 daysPhysically monitored UK facilities — not an unmanned rack in a warehouse abroad.
Deliberately under-filled serversBig brands cram thousands of sites onto each machine and throttle everyone. We cap accounts per server — no oversold resources, no petty upload limits.

Why independent
Most "British" hosts are owned by a handful of overseas giants. We're not.

Their model is simple: cheap first year, painful renewal, support from a call queue. UKBox is independently British-owned, running 5,000+ websites on our own UK infrastructure. When you email us, the person who replies can actually resolve it — and we hold your price for 3 years instead of doubling it at the first renewal. That's the whole pitch.

Questions, answered like a human
Is moving my website to UKBox difficult?

Not for you — we do it. Send us your current hosting login and we move your website, email and files free of charge, then schedule the switchover so nothing goes offline.

Will I lose my emails when I switch?

No — this is the part we're most careful about. Mailboxes are migrated with dedicated migration tools (MailJerry and imapsync) that copy every message, folder and read/unread flag, and we verify the counts match before switchover. Your inbox arrives exactly as you left it.

Will my price go up at renewal?

Not for at least 3 years. We hold your plan price for 36 months from signup — in writing — while most hosts raise prices at the very first renewal. When your price promise ends you simply move to the then-standard rate, with at least 60 days' written notice, and there are never exit fees or lock-in contracts. Free domains renew at the standard list price after their first year.

Is the £1 first month a catch?

No. Your first month is £1 on any monthly hosting plan — new customers, one per customer. From month two you pay the standard price on the label, which we then hold for 3 years. The catch at other hosts lives in year two; ours doesn't exist.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Pay monthly and cancel any time from your account. Billing runs on the 1st of each month, and your first invoice is pro-rata — you only ever pay for the days you use. Choose annual billing and you get two months free plus a free domain.

Can I bring my existing domain?

Yes — point it at our nameservers or transfer it in; for .uk domains we'll give you our IPS tag and walk you through it. Or register a fresh one at checkout, free on any annual plan.

What if something breaks or I get stuck?

You raise a ticket or call us and a real person in the UK replies — usually within 10 minutes between 8am and 5pm, and we're on it 365 days a year. No chatbots pretending to be people, no overseas queues.

* £1 first month applies to monthly billing, new customers, one per customer; the standard held price applies thereafter. Uptime figure publishes once independent monitoring has 6–12 months of history. Market averages: intro £5.09/mo vs renewal £11.76/mo (2026 UK shared hosting pricing study); the 3-year bill comparison applies those averages to a typical entry plan.
