How much does UK web hosting cost?

Spire Hosting packages start from £2.95 per month, with the first month available at £1 using code FIRSTONE on eligible plans. Prices are the ongoing rate — we do not bait-and-switch with cheap intro years that jump at renewal.

Do you offer WordPress hosting in the UK?

Yes. Every web hosting plan is WordPress-ready: one-click install, LiteSpeed + LSCache, free SSL, daily backups and UK-based support. See our WordPress hosting page for the full stack.

Where are Spire Hosting servers located?

We are a UK company based in Chesterfield. Shared, reseller and agency hosting runs on our own hardware in a carbon-neutral European datacentre. Cloud VPS is available in Germany, the USA and Singapore. Support is 100% UK-based either way.

Is your support based in the UK?

Yes. We do not outsource support. You speak to a UK-based technician — tickets, live chat, email and phone — not an overseas call centre reading a script.

Can you migrate my website to Spire Hosting?

Yes. Migrations are free on most plans. Use the tools in the client area or raise a ticket and we will move the site, email and DNS with you.

What is your backup policy?

Accounts are backed up at least daily, with daily restore points kept for 14 days and additional weekly backups retained for longer. Backups are stored off-site.

What is your refund policy?

If you are not happy with the service, a full refund is available within the first 30 days of your subscription. Domains are excluded.

Our VPS range starts from £8.14 per month with SSD storage. Featured builds are in Germany; the full catalog also includes USA and Singapore. Support is UK-based either way. You choose the OS, you configure the services — we keep the hypervisor and network healthy.

Good fits for a VPS

Multi-site WordPress with heavy plugins or cron workloads
Custom Node, Python or Docker deployments
Developers who want isolated staging that mirrors production
Agencies managing client projects that need separate resources and access control
Growing ecommerce sites that have outgrown shared hosting limits
Teams running private APIs, worker queues, or background processing jobs
Applications that need custom firewall rules, packages, or server-level tuning

Not sure if you need shared hosting, reseller, or a VPS? We will help you size it without upselling you into the wrong tier.

View VPS plans

Operating systems available

Deploy your VPS with a Linux image that suits your stack. We currently offer popular cloud-ready Linux distributions, with no Windows templates in this range.

Ubuntu

Great all-round choice for web apps, Docker, and broad package compatibility.

Debian

Stable and predictable with a conservative release model for long-running services.

Fedora

Modern platform for teams that want newer tooling and fast-moving package streams.

AlmaLinux

Enterprise-focused Linux with strong compatibility for cPanel and LAMP workloads.

Rocky Linux

RHEL-compatible base suitable for production apps that prioritize consistency.

CentOS Stream

Upstream-oriented enterprise Linux for teams tracking near-future RHEL changes.

Arch Linux

Rolling-release distro for advanced users who want up-to-date packages and control.

openSUSE

Flexible Linux option for development and operations teams familiar with SUSE tooling.

Size it for today, scale for tomorrow

Pick the CPU, memory and storage you need now. Step up when traffic or your stack outgrows the box.

Root access with full control over your software stack
Fast provisioning for new environments and experiments
Clear monthly pricing without hidden control-panel surprises

Built for real production workloads

Dedicated resources, clear pricing, and room to grow — without the overselling you get elsewhere.

Predictable compute performance

Choose clearly defined CPU/RAM tiers and run workloads without the mystery bottlenecks common on overcrowded shared environments.

Security and isolation by design

Your own VPS boundary means stronger isolation, full firewall control, and a cleaner route to hardening standards for business-critical services.

Scale when growth arrives

Start lean, then move up as traffic and application complexity grow, without committing to oversized infrastructure too early.

More than just a VM

Many mainstream providers stop at “here are your credentials.” We can also support the practical work around the server so your deployment is stable from day one.

Provisioning guidance for choosing the right build based on your stack and expected load
Migration planning for moving websites, apps or databases with minimal disruption
Security baseline help for updates, access controls and firewall posture

Managed VPS vs VPS only

Catalog orders are VPS only — root access, your day-to-day. Add management if you want us to install, configure and look after the server.

VPS only (self-managed)

From £8.14/mo VPS inc VAT

You order the cloud VPS, take root access, and own updates, security patches and application troubleshooting.

Instant deploy from the catalog — full root access
Choose OS, Webuzo panel, or a bare stack you configure
Support focuses on the hosting platform and network
Best if you are comfortable on the command line or already have a sysadmin

LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) for VPS

Our shared hosting runs on LiteSpeed. On a VPS you can lease LSWS and get the same stack — fast PHP, solid WordPress performance, LSCache when you want it.

Lower overhead than a typical Apache + mod_php setup
LSCache for WordPress and WooCommerce
Licensed per server — from £9.95/month inc VAT (Site Owner), added at checkout

Choose a tier in the Build your VPS modal. Prices follow LiteSpeed’s published monthly lease rates, converted to GBP inc VAT.

LSWS license options (VPS)

Three leased tiers — Site Owner, Site Owner Plus and Web Host Lite — priced in GBP inc VAT from LiteSpeed’s USD list. The builder defaults to Site Owner at £9.95/mo.

Default in builder

Site Owner

5 domains · 1 worker · up to 8 GB RAM

£9.95 / month (inc VAT)

LiteSpeed list: $10/mo USD

Small VPS or a handful of sites — matches LiteSpeed’s entry leased plan.

Site Owner Plus

5 domains · 1 worker · unlimited RAM

£15.95 / month (inc VAT)

LiteSpeed list: $16/mo USD

Same domain cap with no RAM ceiling on the license.

Web Host Lite

Unlimited domains · 1 worker · up to 8 GB RAM

£25.95 / month (inc VAT)

LiteSpeed list: $26/mo USD

Multiple sites on one VPS within LiteSpeed’s 8 GB RAM tier.

Not sure which worker or RAM tier fits? Pick something in the builder or ask us — you can upgrade the license later.

Server security

cPGuard on your VPS

Shared hosting on Spire already runs cPGuard for malware scanning, firewall rules and reputation monitoring. You can add the same protection to a VPS — one license per server.

Our VPS range stays within the 50-account tier (active and suspended accounts count). That is £5.95/month inc VAT on top of the VPS, added in the builder or at checkout.

Malware detection and cleanup, ModSecurity WAF rules, IP reputation
Works with Webuzo, cPanel-style stacks, or a custom LAMP/LEMP setup
License billed monthly — we provision the key after order

Get a panel for your VPS

Root access, with a control panel that does the day-to-day

A bare VPS is a blank server. Add Webuzo and it arrives ready to run websites the way our UK hosting does — files, email, databases, DNS, SSL and one-click WordPress — while you keep full root when you want it.

Same plans, same locations, same specs. Choose a Webuzo license tier below — we add it to the VPS price. From £11.09 per month inc VAT with the default Solo license on our smallest VPS.

Launch sites without living in the terminal Create websites, databases, FTP users and subdomains from a browser.
Email included Mailboxes, forwarding, autoresponders and spam tools on the same server.
WordPress in one click Install WordPress and hundreds of other apps, then manage them from the panel.
Still your server Root access stays. Use the panel for routine work and SSH when you need it.

Panel pricing is VPS monthly rate + Webuzo license (both inc VAT). The catalog toggle uses the Solo tier (£2.95/mo license) unless you pick another tier below or in the full catalog.
