Built for Developers
Real tooling, inside plain cPanel
Think of it as a dev box where somebody else does the maintenance. Log in over SSH, ship with Git, run today's runtimes, swap the PHP version whenever the mood takes you. All of it on managed cPanel infrastructure.
- SSH, Git, Composer and WP-CLI
- Node.js, Python, Ruby on Rails
- MySQL alongside PostgreSQL
- Cron scheduling and remote MySQL
Why Pick Business
Stocked for production traffic
Shell and Git access
A genuine shell comes with the account, alongside Git, Composer and WP-CLI, so deployments run the way your projects already ship.
Runtimes kept current
Inside one cPanel account, Node.js, Python and Ruby on Rails all sit beside PHP. No separate box needed at all.
PostgreSQL beside MySQL
Both engines come switched on from day one, with remote connections and phpMyAdmin sitting there ready.
Headroom to grow into
More CPU, more processes running at once, and 1,000 emails an hour. Sized for shops and apps that carry genuine traffic.
SSL and backups bundled
Every business plan turns up with a self-renewing certificate and a daily backup, both priced into the tag.
Mail on your own domain
Create mailboxes carrying your company name, with webmail access and spam filtering configured before you start.
Database Options
Both database engines, one account
Choose whichever engine the project calls for, or leave both running together. PostgreSQL and MySQL both come with remote access already enabled on business hosting, which suits shops and data-heavy applications.
- MySQL and PostgreSQL together
- Remote database connections
- phpMyAdmin on tap
- Suits stores and data-led apps
Extra Capacity
Higher ceilings for busier sites
Outgrown the entry-level plan? Business tiers lift every limit: CPU, processes, traffic, mail. A sudden rush of visitors then stops being the thing that takes your site down.
- Raised CPU and process caps
- More than 1 TB of traffic
- 1,000 outbound emails hourly
- Ultimate lifts every ceiling
What's Included
Your entire stack, on a single bill
Every tool a modern site or application expects, packed into each business plan.
- Shell logins over SSH and SFTP
- Node.js, Python and Ruby on Rails
- MySQL and PostgreSQL side by side
- PHP from 5.6 through 8.4, switched on demand
- Git, Composer and WP-CLI ready to use
- Cron scheduling plus remote MySQL access
- cPanel with Softaculous bundled in
- SSL at no charge and a backup every day
- A ceiling of 1,000 outbound emails an hour
- Support answered by people, at any hour
Your Workflow
Ship the way you already ship things
A Git push, a WP-CLI command, a cron job — business hosting fits around the habits your team already has.
Deploy with Git
Git pushes go straight into the hosting account, and Composer pulls the dependencies down.
Staging and PHP switching
Try it on staging first. Which PHP version runs on which site is yours to decide, with nobody to wait for.
Automate from the shell
Builds and routine upkeep move off your desk, thanks to cron jobs and full shell access.

*The number in our column is the cheapest plan on our shelf, priced on an annual term and pulled live from the very catalogue that feeds the pricing page, so it cannot drift out of date. Other columns show the ranges shared hosting tends to advertise inside each bracket: introductory rates that normally ask for a one-to-four-year commitment, then climb once that term expires. Naming individual competitors and printing their prices is something we have stopped doing. A figure we cannot re-check on the day you read it has no business sitting in front of you. So compare us with whoever you are genuinely weighing up, and read the renewal line first. That line tells you more than the headline ever will.
FAQ
Straight answers on business hosting
In what way does business hosting differ from the premium plans?
The foundation is the same quick cPanel setup our premium shared plans use, with extra tools bolted on for a growing site or a small application. Where it really parts company is developer access and headroom: SSH to the command line, Node.js, Python and Ruby on Rails running beside PHP, PostgreSQL sitting next to MySQL. Mail sending limits go up as well, which starts to matter once you're pushing out receipts and password resets, and you can pay monthly instead of committing to a full year, which is kinder on cash flow month to month. Everything from the premium tier comes across untouched: NVMe storage, LiteSpeed caching, free SSL, daily backups, free migration and 24/7 support. Roughly: premium fits a website, while business fits a website with an application ticking away behind it.
Can I run Node, Python or Rails on it?
Yes, and that is precisely what this tier exists for. Node.js, Python and Ruby on Rails all sit alongside PHP, so an Express or Next.js API, a Flask or Django project, or a Rails app can live here without you renting a whole VPS. On the data side there's MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL, which plenty of modern frameworks assume, plus SSH access so you can reach package managers, run migrations and drive the app the way its own documentation expects. It feels like a small development box, yet keeps the convenience of managed cPanel: patching the operating system and hardening the server never land on your desk. Limits do exist, since the platform remains shared. Genuinely heavy always-on background jobs, or anything requiring root, belong on a VPS, and we'll happily point you at the right one the day you outgrow this.
Does the money-back guarantee cover this?
Yes. Business hosting carries the identical 30-day money-back guarantee our premium shared plans have, which gives you time to put it properly through its paces. Find within those first 30 days that it isn't right, tell support, and the hosting fees come back; there's no retention gauntlet to fight your way past. As with everything on our shelves, the guarantee applies to hosting itself. Domain registrations can't be refunded, because the registry bills us the instant a name is taken, and any third-party licence or add-on runs by its own terms. Once those 30 days have passed, cancelling stops the service renewing rather than refunding time you've already paid for, and access stays open to you until the current billing period ends. Full conditions are set out in plain language on our refund policy page.

Choose a Business PlanSome shared hosting is a wall of buttons with nothing behind it. This is the other kind: SSH at the prompt, Node and Python available, and a panel for the jobs you would rather click through. Behind the counter: NVMe storage, LiteSpeed caching, redundant our London datacentre and engineers who are awake at three in the morning.
Stocked for developers and companies taking on staff: free SSL on every domain, a free transfer from your old host, automatic daily backups, and no surprises between the price tag and the invoice.
Shared hosting with a developer's toolbox
You get SSH access, Git and Composer, cron jobs you control, and per-site PHP versions from 5.6 through 8.4. Node.js and Python applications run alongside the usual PHP stack, so an internal tool, an API and the company website can share one account without treading on each other.
Redundancy is unglamorous, and it is where the money goes: our London datacentre, more than one route to the internet, conditioned power, and failover that happens without anyone filing a ticket.
What the extra headroom costs
We would rather sell you the right plan than the biggest one. Prices sit on the page, renewals match them, and nothing turns up at checkout that was not visible on the way in. Every hosting plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, so trying us out costs you an afternoon at worst.
This is still shared pricing rather than a managed-cloud invoice. Take the tier with the storage and cores today's projects need; upgrading is a click in the panel and the renewal figure never moves.
The machinery behind a business account
Business projects sit on NVMe storage behind LiteSpeed, in our London datacentre with redundant power and networking. Patching, panel updates and PHP releases are rolled out by our engineers on a schedule, so nobody on your team has to own that job.
Maintenance runs to our schedule and mostly while you sleep: security patches, panel updates and PHP releases arrive without you booking a window for them.
- SSH, Git, Composer and cron included
- Node.js and Python beside the PHP stack
- Daily backups with self-service restores
- Free SSL fitted and renewed automatically
Worth Knowing
What else you get in the box
Mailboxes on the same account
Company mail on your own domain sits beside the site — one panel, one bill, one place to look.
Move up without moving out
Upgrade when the project needs it; your files, settings and address all stay exactly where they are.
Nothing holding you here
Your data exports the same way it arrived, and we will help you pack if it comes to that.
Speed you never configure
Every project runs on NVMe with caching already switched on at the server — nothing for you to tune.
Certificates included
SSL is bundled and self-renewing on every domain, so encryption never turns into an upsell.
We do the moving
Changing hosts? Engineers transfer the project at no charge, normally inside 24 hours.
Starting Out
From order to live in three steps
- 1
Take one off the shelf

Still Asking
Other questions that keep coming up
Do I get root access on a business plan?
No — root belongs to the VPS and dedicated ranges, and that starts at $13.52 a month. Shared business plans give you SSH into your own account, Git, Composer, cron and PHP version control, which covers most application work without making you an administrator.
How soon can I be up and running?
Provisioning is automatic and immediate. The only part that takes longer is a migration, and even that is usually done the same day, by us, at no cost.
Will the price change at renewal?
The same tag, the same amount. We do not run an introductory price that quietly doubles once you have settled in.
What if business web hosting is not the right fit?
There is a 30-day money-back guarantee on the plan. Ask inside the month and you get your money back: no exit interview, and nobody transferring you to a team whose job is talking you out of it.
