The same person every time, who knows your stack, your sites and your history. No re-explaining, no ticket ping-pong.
24/7 automated monitoring with automatic recovery. We spot full disks, failing services and slow queries before your customers do.
Daily offsite backups with 30-day retention, and we test restores on a schedule so you know they work.
Uptime, updates applied, backups tested and issues fixed, all in one report. See exactly what you're paying for.
Server, cPanel or Plesk licence, backups and monitoring in a single monthly fee. No add-ons on your invoice.
Rolling monthly contracts and full documentation of your setup. If you ever want to leave, we hand over cleanly.
Every plan includes the server, monitoring, security updates and daily offsite backups. Need a bigger server? We'll quote it after a free health check.

A typical cPanel virtual server from a large UK managed hosting provider costs around £250 a month before extras. Add the cPanel licence and backups and most businesses pay £300–400 or more.
With Fettle Hosting, those are all part of the price.
Standard cPanel and Plesk migrations are free, including websites, databases, email and DNS. Your old server stays live until you're happy.
We map every site, database, mailbox, cron job and DNS record on your current server.
Your new server is built from our hardened, documented baseline.
You check every site on the new server before anything goes live.
Final sync and DNS switch at a quiet time you choose.
Your old server stays available for 7–14 days, so we can roll back at no cost.
No minimum term. If you leave within 12 months a migration fee applies, reducing every month you stay. Moves between different control panels and custom applications are quoted separately.
Your server runs on modern hardware in tier-1 European datacentres, with backups held separately.
Fast NVMe SSDs on every server, on redundant cloud infrastructure.
With DDoS protection included and data covered by UK GDPR adequacy.
Your backups never sit with the same company as your server.
| Priority | Essential | Managed | Priority |

| Critical Site or server down | 1 hr | 30 min | 15 min |
| High Degraded service | 4 hrs | 2 hrs | 1 hr |
| Normal Changes, questions | 2 days | 1 day | 4 hrs |
We look after the server and the hosting platform: the operating system, control panel, web server, PHP, databases, email services, security, backups and monitoring. We don't maintain your website's own code or plugins, but we'll help diagnose problems and can quote for extra work.
We audit your current server, build the new one, let you test everything, then switch over at a time that suits you. Your old server stays live for 7–14 days in case anything needs rolling back. Standard cPanel-to-cPanel and Plesk-to-Plesk moves are free.
No. Plans are monthly rolling. A 12-month term is available at a 10% discount. If you leave within your first 12 months, a migration fee applies, reducing each month.
Every server has a written runbook and credential record, and you hold emergency access that's released if we're ever unreachable. Monitoring and automatic recovery run around the clock regardless.
By default in ISO 27001 certified datacentres in Germany and Finland, covered by UK GDPR adequacy. Backups are stored separately with a second provider. UK-only hosting is available on request.
Yes. Managed and Priority plans include a cPanel licence, and Plesk is available too. If you'd rather not pay for a control panel, we can run your sites panel-free on the Essential plan.
We can host email on your server, but for most businesses we recommend Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for better reliability and deliverability. We'll help you move as part of your migration.
We'll run a read-only audit of your current server, whoever hosts it, and send you a written report with anything that needs attention. No obligation.
Send us your current setup and monthly bill and we'll show you what you'd pay with Fettle Hosting.
