Hosting is where your website lives, and an SSL certificate is what makes visitors’ connection to it secure, shown as the padlock and https in the address bar. Both are essential, and both need to be set up correctly and renewed on time.
I provide hosting and take care of SSL setup, so your website loads securely and your visitors see it as trustworthy. Most website packages include one year of hosting, and I can also host existing sites or help you move to a better setup.
Who this is for
It suits anyone launching a new website, or with an existing one that needs a reliable home or secure connection. If you are not sure what you have today, I can take a look and explain.
What you receive
- Hosting suited to your type of website
- SSL certificate installation so the site uses https
- Help moving an existing website to new hosting

Worth knowing
Packages include one year of hosting. Renewals are charged at the rates applicable at the time, and I tell you the current figure when we talk.
The hosting you need depends on your website. A simple business site, a WordPress site and a busy store have different needs.
Common questions
Why does my website need SSL?
SSL encrypts the connection between your visitors and your site, and browsers warn people away from sites without it. It is also a basic expectation for any site that has a form. My article on SSL explains more.
Can you move my existing website?
Often yes. I will look at your current setup and tell you what is involved before we start.
