Hostwoody runs your website on an autoscaling cloud platform rather than a single shared server. Traffic is load balanced across the platform, storage is 100% SSD, and every server runs on renewable energy.
On classic shared hosting, hundreds of sites sit on one machine. When a neighbour gets busy — or your own site has a good day — everyone slows down, and control panels like cPanel enforce hard CPU and memory limits that show visitors a “resource limit reached” error.
Our platform works differently. Your site can draw on the resources of many servers, and busy sites are isolated so their load doesn’t spill onto yours. When a traffic spike ends, resources scale back down, which also means less idle hardware drawing power.
We don’t relabel one generic server as “WordPress hosting”. WordPress sites and everything else run on separately tuned platforms.
Built only for WordPress: StackCache page caching, automatic WordPress core updates, plugin monitoring that blocks known abusive plugins, and one-click staging sites. Choose it when every site you run is WordPress or WooCommerce.
A flexible Linux environment with a tuned Apache web server behind an NGINX edge cache, a choice of PHP versions and 80+ one-click apps such as Joomla!, Drupal, Magento and Laravel — plus WordPress and the website builder.
For a simple site without code. Pick a template, add your content and publish. No FTP or developer tools, just the builder, email and the same secure platform underneath.

Specification reflects our current infrastructure and may improve over time.
Every plan includes our global CDN and website acceleration tools. Images are compressed, resized and served in modern formats, code is minified and off-screen images load lazily — all at server level, so there’s nothing to install or configure.
Unlimited websites, bandwidth and mailboxes means we don’t set a fixed allowance for normal website use. A fair usage policy still applies — for example, a single account can’t use more than 10% of platform processing capacity, and sites that distribute large downloads may be limited to 250 GB of transfer per month. Full details are in our Acceptable Use Policy.
By default your website is hosted in our London data centre. US and Singapore locations are available on request for an additional charge. Our CDN then serves cached content from locations closer to your visitors.
If every site you run is WordPress, choose WindBoost — it runs on the WordPress-only platform with StackCache and automatic core updates. Choose SolarPro if you also need other PHP applications such as Laravel, Joomla! or Drupal.
Yes. Our free migration tool copies files, databases and email from hosts using cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin, and can move WordPress sites over FTP. Your old site stays live until you switch DNS.
No. The control panel is designed for beginners, the website builder needs no code, and our support team can help via live chat and tickets.
Free automated migrations and a 30-day money-back guarantee on hosting.
