The O.B.U.K. Simple Hosting Plan is just £10 per month!
Every Website needs some space on the Internet where the site can live (a.k.a. Web hosting). We speak to small business owners and managers daily and there is one thing that comes up time and time again - small businesses are often buying too much hosting, and payingup to 600% too much in the process.
To be fair, it's not that £70 (or more) per month for hosting is
'too much' for every type of website. What you get for that money is often
ideal for larger e-commerce sites, but most of us aren't running that type
of site and we just don't require that much hosting.
What do you mean by 'too much hosting'?
A lot of hosting packages are created with the age old philosophy that big numbers are impressive. When it comes to buying hosting, 100 of this and 1000 of that seems quite convincing, but in reality giving such a large share of server resources to each customer means lots of waste, and the only way to pay for it is to pass the expense on to the customer
- Many packages offer 50MB of space, whilst most sites use less than 1MB of space. (this entire website uses less than 0.2MB)
- Many packages offer 1000MB of bandwidth (transfer) per month, whilst most sites use less than 3MB per month.
- Many packages offer all sorts of complicated and unnecessary extra features
that use up resources, whether you use them or not.
Our Simple Hosting Plan offers enough resources to deal with plenty of traffic, but cuts out the waste; it wouldn't be suitable for eBay or Amazon but it's ideal for Emo Engineering, Springfield Autos and many other small businesses.
Our Simple Hosting Plan is based on what most small businesses need, not what we think sounds the most impressive. |
Buying 'too much hosting' is like renting 10,000 feet of
warehouse, when all you need is 150 feet of office space.
Is the Simple Hosting Plan right for my business?
- Do you have less than 20 pages in your site?
- Is your site more of a 'brochure on the web' than an e-commerce facility?
- Does the information on your Web site stay largely the same from month to month?
- Is your Web site more for PR and lead generation than direct revenue generation?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then your site is probably ideal for our Simple Hosting Plan. Call us on 01787 376653 to discuss your requirements.

How do I sign up?
You will need to call us to set up an account because we review every Web site before we agree to host it. We do this for two very good reasons.
Most importantly, we want to make sure your Web site and our
Simple Hosting Plan are well suited. It doesn't benefit anyone if the
hosting doesn't do what you need it do, plus, if our server becomes overloaded
everyone will loose out on performance. - We do not host sites that offer inappropriate material or sites that use spammy promotional techniques. This means that our server is known by the major search engines and maintains a good reputation.
Call us on 01787 376653 to find out if your Web site and our service are a good match.
How do I cancel my account?
Simple - just call us to let us know at least 30 days before you want the service to cease. What could be easier?
What are my payment options?
Our preferred method is monthly advance payments of £10 by standing order, however if you would like to pay for a full year at a time we can take cash, cheque or all major credit cards (via Paypal)
