Why we’re quicker
Blink and it’s loaded.
Under every plan sits the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, one of the fastest processors you can put in a server. You don’t need to know what that means. You’ll just notice your site feels snappier, for you and your visitors.
- Pages appear sooner, so fewer visitors leave
- Copes calmly with busy days and sales
- Speed is one of the things Google looks at

What our customers say.
“If you are looking for a host based in the UK, that is affordable and offers fast servers with incredible, prompt, professional and friendly support then consider moving to Sharedgrid. I have been really impressed with their services. They are very helpful and I’m happy my websites are in good hands!”
“The real difference between web hosting companies is in how it handles itself during a problem. I’ve been hosting a media website with SharedGrid for a few months now. The attention to detail when it comes to customer needs, compared to other web hosts I was with, has been stellar.”
“Sharedgrid is an excellent web hosting provider which is very supportive to small businesses. You can sense how much the team loves the products and services they provide. A particular thank you to Daniel for the tech support and guidance, it is much appreciated. Also the value for money for the quality you get is absolutely amazing!”

VPS
The Real Cost of Cheap Hosting in 2026 (And Why Smart Businesses Are Upgrading to VPS)
That £5-a-year hosting plan looks like a steal. It isn’t. Here’s why the cheapest plan is very rarely the cheapest option, and when to move to VPS.
Questions people ask.
Can’t see yours? Get in touch or open a ticket.
I’m not technical. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Web Hosting, Managed WordPress and Managed VPS are fully looked after by us, and we’ll move your site over for free. If you get stuck, our team is there 24/7.
Will my website go offline when I move?
No. We copy and test everything first, and only switch over once it’s working. How our free website migration works.
What does “first month £1” mean?
On our Lite Web Hosting plan and our 1 Site Managed WordPress plan, your first month costs £1 on monthly billing. After that you pay the normal monthly price, and you can cancel any time.
Where is my website hosted?
In our UK data centre in Newcastle, with redundant power (including backup generators), cooling and network connections. We also have a data centre in New Jersey for customers in North America.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes, any time. As your site grows, we’ll help you move to a bigger plan or a server.
How can I pay?
By debit or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, China UnionPay and JCB), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, Link, PayPal, Amazon Pay or Revolut Pay. Card payments are encrypted and processed securely by Stripe.
Try it for £1.
