Hosting advice: Find the right web hosting for you
This guide will walk you through the different types of hosting packages we offer across Shared Web Hosting, Managed Cloud Server, Reseller Hosting and VPS. Depending on your needs, various solutions are available.
What web hosting services are available?
Reseller Hosting
This is how to make money from web hosting. You might want to start an independent web hosting business. Or perhaps you’d like to add a hosting strand to an existing venture like web design or IT support. If you need to host an unlimited number of sites, 20i’s Reseller Hosting is the best reseller package available.
You can sell the web hosting without having to mention 20i. You can customise your customers’ control panel and all URLs and messaging to match your brand. Or if you’d prefer, you can use our white-label ‘Stack’ brand name.
You can offer your customers a choice of packages, or tailor each package to every customer. With over 30 different features to add or remove from packages, you can offer lots of options and upgrade opportunities.
You can host any number of sites on our Linux or WordPress platforms.
It includes an automated Migration Centre that makes moving your sites to 20i a breeze. You can manage all your ecommerce, provisioning, support and communications with HostShop. As a 20i Reseller, you get access to helpful free resources and discounts on domains and VPS.
20i specialises in Reseller Hosting: our founders created the first reseller package. So you can feel confident in moving your hosting business to us.
Shared Web Hosting:
Perfect for small businesses and private blogs. Single-site hosting starting from just £1 without compromising on quality or extra features. There are plans on a Linux platform or our optimised WordPress platform available.
Our shared hosting options offer all you need and more. You get 1,000 x 10 GB Mailboxes, a Free SSL certificate, free daily backups, automatic malware scans, no LVE limits and free CDN use, just to name a few of the perks.

Host your projects in the 20i Cloud, AWS or Google Cloud with tons of extras, full server optimisation and easy management.
If you have ever set up hosting on AWS Cloud Servers or GCP servers you know this is a lot of work. With our managed cloud servers, all this trouble is yesterday’s news.
You can set up your project in just a few clicks, on 20iCloud, AWS or GCP. You don’t have to worry about server management, security configuration updates and monitoring: all this is done by us.
On top of this, you get a lot of extras for free. Unlimited email accounts, SSL certificates, 24/7 expert support and managed backups are just a few of the features you get at no extra cost.
For e-commerce site running on Magento there are extra managed Magento optimised hosting plans available.
Managed WordPress Hosting:
Experience the full power of our optimised WordPress platform. This is perfect for WordPress power bloggers, agencies and e-commerce sites with high traffic.
The Managed WordPress Hosting plans facilitate high performance, even under high traffic loads, thanks to our autoscaling technology. This should enable the platform to adapt effortlessly to any traffic or resource demand spikes. This, combined with our high-frequency CPUs, ensures your website is handled by the best hardware. There is no single point of failure. Our intelligent load balancing, automatic failover, and fully redundant web, database, and mail servers enable us to deliver maximum performance around the clock. These high-frequency compute nodes run at speeds of up to 4.20 HGz for a much quicker load and processing times.
These features also include StackCache for WordPress caching. You can manage multiple WP websites conveniently from a single dashboard in your control panel - no need to log into every site separately. You also get a state-of-the-art WordPress staging solution that creates clones in a safe sandbox environment with just one click.
These are just a few of the features we offer that set us apart from others. Have a look at all the features our Managed WordPress hosting offers you.
Timeline Backups are included, allowing you to access automatically rolling backups from the last 30 days so that you can rest with ease.
VPS
Our high performance SSD VPS allows you to run whatever you want. It’s the same as having your own dedicated server in a data centre, without the hassle of visiting that data centre! We maintain all the hardware.
We use the latest 12-core Intel Xeon processors in Dell servers, with blazing-fast DDR4 RAM and Samsung enterprise SSDs. You have the choice of 6 different sizes of VPS, from 1 core to 10 cores, with corresponding tiers of memory and storage. They’re suitable for many other uses: website hosting, file storage, development, gaming – it’s up to you.
When you order a 20i VPS, you’ll first need to choose performance specs. Then, you can choose which operating system, and which applications you’d like to be installed straight away.
You’ll then be shown a final price, including the cost for any commercial software licences, if you’ve chosen any. Then, in less than a minute, your 20i VPS will be up and ready for you to run. You can cancel or upgrade at any time.
