Test changes on a private copy of your site, then push them live when you are happy with them. Included on every plan.

This used to be a support ticket. Someone here would read it, make the change, then do the whole thing in reverse when the job finished. Now you do it from your own account, on the one WordPress site that needs the work, and the login exists the second you press the button.
Your developer, their designer, or the agency that built it
The one site: files, database, mailboxes and its staging copy
No limit. As many people as the job needs, on as many sites
One click, and it takes effect straight away
Every 365i hosting customer gets access to our suite of free SEO and webmaster tools. Check your headers, scan for mixed content, inspect DNS records, and more. No sign-up needed.
Check AI crawler access: GPTBot, ClaudeBot and 12 more
Security grades, redirect chains, and server info
A, MX, TXT, NS records and email auth checks
Mixed content scanner with SSL/TLS grading
SERP preview, social cards, and SEO checks
Parse rules and test paths against crawl directives
Registration data, dates, nameservers, DNSSEC
Security checks for exposed endpoints and config
Extract XML sitemaps and export page titles
UK data centres are the default on every plan, so your data, your support, and your latency all stay close to home.
Your site, database, backups, and email stay on UK soil by default, covered by UK GDPR rather than transferred internationally. Choose US or Singapore if you prefer.
UK-to-UK round trips are typically under 20ms. On a real WordPress site that can be the difference between a "Good" and "Needs Improvement" Core Web Vitals rating.
UK server location and a .co.uk or .uk domain reinforce local relevance for UK-targeted queries. Every annual plan includes a free .co.uk or .uk domain.
Real people in British waking hours, 7 days a week, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays. No outsourced helpdesk, no scripted bots.

Competitor figures are standard renewal prices, the ongoing rate after any introductory discount, not first-term promos, on each host's comparable plan. Verified May 2026; all exclude VAT. Kinsta bills in US dollars ($35/mo), shown here as an approximate GBP equivalent. 365i's £8.99 is our ongoing price, with a £1 first month. Retention figures are for daily backups; our Business plan adds Timeline Backup Pro, with 60-day database retention plus email mailbox backup and restore.
The real test of a WordPress host is the day WordPress itself changes. When WordPress 7.0 shipped, we had already tested the RC5 build on production-mirror staging sites, so we were confident enough to let the update run on schedule with no platform-level hold. Hundreds of sites moved from 6.9.x to 7.0 inside a few hours. Tickets raised: none. Rollbacks: none. White screens reported: none. Most customers found out because they logged in and saw the new version number. We do that for every major release, not just that one. WordPress 7 wants PHP 7.2.24 as a hard minimum with 8.3 or better recommended, unrestricted outbound HTTPS for the AI Provider plugins, and somewhere safe to test the upgrade. All three were already there.
That is possible because of what sits underneath. Every plan runs on an autoscaling cloud platform with unlimited LVE resources, which in plain terms means no CPU throttling, no memory ceiling and no cap on PHP processes. It matters more for WordPress than for anything else we host, because a real WordPress site is rarely just WordPress. It is WordPress plus a page builder plus twenty plugins, and those are exactly the sites that fall over on a host that meters you. PHP 8.5 and MySQL 8.0 are there when you want them, one click, with a way back if a plugin objects.
The longest answer I can give you about reliability is Richard Antrobus at Employment Law Solicitors. He has been on WordPress hosting with us since 2006: thousands of pages, heavy organic traffic, and he is currently planning his next build with us rather than his exit. Twenty years is not a metric I can put in a comparison table, but it is the one I would want if I were choosing.
When something does go wrong, you are not queueing. We have logged 498 tickets in the entire life of our helpdesk, counted on 26 July 2026, with 5 open that day. Across eleven timed tickets the median first reply was under five minutes. Durga G. went live, lost her WordPress login and her email in one go, and was back in the dashboard 22 minutes after opening the ticket, with SSL enabled and maintenance mode switched off. We fixed the parts that were not even ours to fix.
Two things I like being precise about. The desk runs seven days a week with long hours, evenings, weekends and bank holidays included, and it is staffed by the people who actually run the platform rather than a call centre working from a script. Separately, the data centre is monitored around the clock, so the infrastructure is watched even at three in the morning when the desk is quiet. And the price on the card is the price it stays: the first month is £1, and after that you pay the rate you were shown, not an introductory figure that quietly doubles at renewal.
One thing changed here this month, and it is the sort of change I like. Giving a developer access to a site used to be a ticket. Somebody asks, we do it by hand, then we do the whole thing in reverse when the job ends. It was quick work, but it sat between a customer and something they should never have needed our permission for. It is self-service now, on every plan, and we still get the email whenever it happens.
The point of paying for managed WordPress hosting is that the platform stays out of your way, and that when it does not, a person who knows the platform answers quickly. That is the whole product.
With Mark's help not only was the migration seamless and speedy, but Mark fixed a lot of persistent issues that had been around for ages. Since then the support we have got from Mark is exemplary and I simply could not have wished for better.

Editorial integrity: read our editorial standards.
Real-world guides on managed WordPress hosting, performance tuning, and the decisions that separate fast sites from slow ones.
WordPress 7.1 lands on 19 August with responsive styling and hover states built into the editor, two jobs that have pushed people towards Elementor for years. We check what actually shipped in Beta 1, what quietly didn't, and run the UK maths on whether your page builder site should care.
WordPress is turning from software humans drive into software AI agents can inspect and operate. Giving an agent access without backups, permissions, logs and easy rollback is like giving a very enthusiastic apprentice the server password and going to lunch. Here is what changed in WordPress 7.0, what goes wrong, and what AI-ready WordPress hosting actually needs to include.
Nearly every host promises "daily backups included", but that phrase tells you almost nothing about whether you could actually recover your site on a bad day. Here is what really gets backed up, why retention matters more than frequency, whether the backup can be restored, and how 365i's Timeline Backups handle files, databases and mailboxes without a plugin.
Some managed WordPress hosts now block AI crawlers by default, silently, and that can quietly cut your site out of AI search. Here is the case against blanket blocking, our own 19-day crawler log showing which AI bots actually read a real site, and how to set it up properly at the infrastructure layer.
Absolutely amazing customer service! For years I been having constant issues with my website from plug-in issues to my hosting provider not giving me enough resources to actually host my site properly. Mark worked tirelessly and managed to not only solve all my website issues but also provide a much better hosting service at a fraction of the cost that I was previously paying. I’m not very technically minded but he was able to explain things in a way I could understand and I’m so happy to have finally find a company that will help when and if things do go wrong. With my website and hosting all sorted I can concentrate on running my business and I genuinely look forward to many years to come with 365i.
Mark has looked after us for 14 years and designed 3 websites in this time. I have been lucky to find them, they have been a great help to us over the years. Always available to answer questions or make changes to our website quickly. Our business wouldn't be where it is now without the support of 365i.
Mark is excellent. His prices are very reasonable and he does an excellent job. So far Mark has re-designed one of our websites to an excellent looking, quick & responsive site and will soon be taking over our hosting. Great
Thank you so much Andy! Much appreciated!
Really helpful and answered all of my questions quickly and with quality. Look forward to being a long term customer with them!
Thanks David! We look forward to serving you long term ;-)
Wow!!!! This guy goes above and beyond for anyone!! Must admit, I never really knew his limits but I can honestly say that without this amazing web page, I would be struggling!! Thankyou so much, I love it!!!
Thank you so much Lena! 😁
Amazing hosting with great support, always going above and beyond to help and make the clients happy. Recommended.
I was really not happy with my website and its structure, but luckily I found Mark at 365i, I moved hosting to 365i, Mark very quickly found all of the faults with my Wordpress site that my previous company missed altogether, most importantly the crucial AI discovery, outdated high site security risk plugins, out of date website core. He fixed all of the issues and errors within 72 hours. Personal attention at the highest level and always available in times when support is urgently needed. It’s only been 2 weeks since the sites update and improvements but we are already seeing positive results especially within the AI search results. Thank you for your support Mark Jeffrey Avery MD Avery Associates
You’re very welcome Jeff. It’s a pleasure working with you!
Amazing service. Mark is always happy to help and is easy to contact. Highly recommend!
Managed WordPress hosting means your hosting provider handles all the technical aspects of running WordPress, automatic core, plugin, and theme updates, daily backups, server-level caching, security monitoring, and performance optimisation. You focus entirely on building your site and creating content. 365i's managed WordPress hosting includes all of this plus a full WordPress toolkit in your control panel for managing themes, plugins, users, and staging environments without logging into wp-admin.
By default, every new 365i WordPress hosting account is provisioned on our UK data centres, so your site files, MySQL database, daily backups, and email all stay on UK soil under UK GDPR. If your audience is based in the US or APAC, you can choose US or Singapore data centres at signup. The CDN is global and serves cached assets from the nearest edge, but the origin remains in the region you pick. We are the data processor; you remain the data controller, and a GDPR Data Processing Agreement is available at 365i.co.uk/legal/gdpr-data-processing-agreement/.
365i support runs 7 days a week, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. Most replies come between early morning and late evening UK time. We are a UK-based team, so you get real people speaking British English (no outsourced helpdesk and no scripted bots), and we will jump on Zoom or AnyDesk to fix things together when it is faster than tickets. Separately, our data-centre infrastructure is monitored 24/7 by on-site technicians, so the platform itself never goes unwatched.
WordPress hosting at 365i starts from £5.99/month for the Personal plan, with Premium at £8.99/month, Business at £14.99/month, and Turbo at £30.00/month. All prices exclude VAT. Every plan is just £1 for the first month, and there's no contract, so you can cancel any time. Plans include free SSL, daily backups, and a one-click WordPress installer as standard.
Yes, and we test before the release ships. WordPress 7.0 launched at 17:00 UTC on 20 May 2026. We'd already run every beta and release candidate through to RC5 on two of our own production-mirror sites in the 24 hours before launch. Several hundred sites on our platform moved from 6.9.x to 7.0 via WordPress core's own auto-update mechanism in the hours after release. In the five days that followed, the helpdesk handled DNS, URL redirect, and domain-transfer queries. Zero tickets about WP7 itself. You can also enable automatic plugin and theme updates from your WordPress toolkit, and on Business and Turbo plans you can test any update in a staging environment first before pushing to live.
Yes. You can install any plugin or theme from the official WordPress repository, or upload premium plugins and themes purchased elsewhere. We only restrict a very small number of plugins that conflict with our server-level caching or security systems. WooCommerce, Elementor, Yoast SEO, and all other popular plugins work without issue.
A staging environment is a private copy of your live WordPress site where you can safely test changes, new plugins, theme updates, design changes, or code modifications, without affecting your visitors. When you're happy with the changes, you can push them live with one click. Staging is included on every WordPress hosting plan.
Yes. Every WordPress hosting plan includes a free SSL certificate that is automatically installed and renewed. Your site will load over HTTPS from day one with no manual configuration required. This is essential for SEO, visitor trust, and Google ranking. Wildcard SSL certificates are also available if you need to secure multiple subdomains.
We take automatic daily backups of your entire WordPress site, files, database, emails, and configuration. Backups are retained for up to 30 days and you can restore your full site or individual components with one click from your hosting dashboard. You don't need any backup plugins, it's all handled at the server level.
Both take automatic daily snapshots that you can roll back with a single click. Timeline Backup, included on the Premium plan, covers your website files and databases with 30-day retention. Timeline Backup Pro, included on the Business plan, does everything standard does and adds three things: your email mailboxes are backed up too, database retention is extended to 60 days, and you get mailbox restore options (you can restore a mailbox to a temporary address first and then sync it back). If you only need files and databases, standard is plenty. If you run email on your domain or want a longer database history to roll back to, Pro is the one to pick.
Yes. Every plan includes free built-in migration tools that handle the bulk of the work, and our team finishes the edge cases at no extra cost. You can migrate from cPanel/WHM, Plesk, or DirectAdmin servers, or transfer any WordPress site via FTP/SFTP, just select your current provider, enter your login details, and the platform migrates everything automatically with zero data loss. Ticket #894321002 on 23 May 2026 is a typical edge case: a multilingual content creator moving from WordPress.com to self-hosted. Temporary forwarding was live within an hour of the ticket opening, working around the fact his .htaccess wasn't available yet (his WordPress package wasn't set up). When the first workaround didn't behave reliably in testing, we swapped to an .htaccess approach and warned him it would be overwritten when he completed setup. Thousands of sites are migrated this way every week.
Our primary data centres are in the UK, with additional locations in the US and Singapore. UK data centres are the default and ideal for UK-based websites and local SEO. All facilities are enterprise-grade with redundant power, cooling, and network connectivity, staffed with 24/7 on-site technicians. Every plan also includes a free global CDN that caches your site across 260+ edge locations worldwide.
Yes. You can upgrade at any time from your hosting dashboard. The price difference is calculated pro-rata so you only pay the difference for the remaining billing period. Upgrades take effect immediately with no downtime. You can also downgrade if you need to, there's no lock-in or long-term contract.
