FAQ
Quick answers
How much does website hosting cost in the UK?
Basic WordPress hosting usually starts at a few pounds a month, often with introductory offers. VPS and cloud servers cost more but give dedicated resources. Managed hosting adds the cost of someone looking after it for you.
Do I need WordPress hosting or a VPS?
Most small business sites and blogs are best on WordPress hosting. Choose a VPS or cloud server if you run custom applications, databases, or need full control of the server.
Can you move my existing website?
Yes. ONQU Support can move your site, database and email to new UK hosting with little or no downtime. See website migration.
How do you make money?
Some links are referral or affiliate links, and ONQU Support charges for managed services. It never changes the price you pay. Read how we’re paid.
