Why the essentials aren’t sold as add-ons
Hosting prices often look low until you add SSL, a CDN, malware protection and backups. Because our platform includes these at server level, we can bundle them into every plan and keep pricing simple.
Building features into the platform also keeps your site lighter: you don’t need separate caching, image-optimisation or security plugins that slow WordPress down and need updating.
- SSL certificates
- CDN & edge caching
- Malware scanning

The essentials are included from day one
SSL, CDN, email, security and daily backups come with every plan. The builder, WordPress tools and migration depend on your plan, and Timeline Backup Pro is an optional add-on.
