Trade guide · Carpenters & Joiners
A proper home online for carpenters & joiners
Everything bespoke joiners, kitchen fitters and makers of one-off furniture need to run a website worth trusting — speed, security and support on the price tag, with nothing hidden underneath it.
Straight answer first
Carpenters & joiners need speed, uptime and the particulars of the trade — starting with commission galleries that put daylight between your work and flat-pack — from a setup that never asks them to hire a webmaster to keep it running.
Hosting Seller's plans carry exactly that: LiteSpeed-cached NVMe hosting from a couple of dollars a month, with free SSL, a free move in, mailboxes on your domain and human support at any hour.

Backups on every plan
Most carpenters & joiners run a site built around commissioned pieces, materials and process, the workshop itself and commission enquiries. Every piece of it leans on what sits underneath: disk speed, storage room, forms that deliver and mail that lands.
Somebody commissioning joinery is buying the story as much as the craft. Writing up your process and your materials resets what they expect to pay before the first conversation begins, which is precisely when it needs resetting. Weigh up hosting with that in front of you and most of the usual mistakes never get made.
Ask anyone in the trade about their worst afternoon with a website and the story runs like this: enquiries arriving with flat-pack wardrobe prices in mind, because nothing on the site had framed what bespoke actually involves. Everything on this page is written to stop that happening.
What carpenters & joiners actually need from hosting
Set the marketing aside and the requirements are concrete: commission galleries that put daylight between your work and flat-pack, process pages covering the sketch, the timber and the build, explaining lead times, the story of the materials, because where the oak came from matters to a buyer and a commission form that opens the conversation with dimensions and a budget.
Each one maps onto something you can measure — storage and caching for the media, uptime and form delivery for the enquiries, and a panel simple enough to update between jobs. That is the lens to hold any host up to, this one included.
Quick pages, counted in takings
Slow hosting costs you quietly, because the visitors it loses never complain — they simply go. Picture it plainly: enquiries arriving with flat-pack wardrobe prices in mind, because nothing on the site had framed what bespoke actually involves. No error page, no support ticket, just trade walking somewhere else.
Our stack goes at that from every angle: NVMe disks answer database queries in microseconds, LiteSpeed hands over cached pages before PHP has even woken up, and image optimisation keeps big pictures sharp without the weight. The result is a site that feels immediate on a phone on mobile data, which is where your customers actually are.
From bare domain to working site
In practice, sites in this trade run on WordPress with a portfolio theme, process page structure and a commission enquiry form — every one of them installable in a single click from the control panel, with no command line anywhere in sight.
Start simpler than you think you should. A tight site that gets the essentials right — process pages covering the sketch, the timber and the build, explaining lead times — beats an ambitious one left half-finished, and the platform makes adding more later a plugin rather than a rebuild.
Mail, trust and the small professional details
A reply from you@yourdomain reads differently to one from a free webmail address — customers take the domain as evidence that the business is real. Every plan includes mailboxes on your own domain, so that professional address costs nothing on top.
Behind all that, a daily backup turns a bad update or a deleted folder into a ten-minute restore instead of a crisis — and support answers at any hour, which counts most at exactly the times trouble prefers.

First Steps
From choosing to live
- 1
Choose the plan that fits
Most carpenters & joiners sit comfortably on our Launch or Pro plan — the first-year domain and the SSL are already on the tag, and moving up later is an account change rather than a move.
- 2
Get the site standing up
Install WordPress or the Website Builder in one click — or, if a site already lives somewhere else, our staff carry it across free of charge, usually within a day.
- 3
Open the doors and get back to work
Connect the domain, check the site on your own phone, and get back to the actual business — backups, SSL renewals and uptime monitoring run themselves from that point on.

Across the Counter
The questions we get asked most
How do we head off the price-shock enquiries?
Say it early. Put a 'commissions from' figure on the gallery page and a process section showing the weeks of work behind a single piece. The right clients read that as a mark of quality; the wrong ones quietly show themselves out before you spend an evening quoting.
Is a page about the workshop actually worth writing?
It is. Anybody commissioning furniture is buying a maker rather than a product off a shelf. Photographs of the bench, the tools and the timber rack build the connection that closes a four-figure commission, and nothing else on the site does that job.
Who actually runs the company?
Hosting Seller is a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales — a real business with a public record and terms published under English law. Looking that up is worth doing about any host before you hand over your domain.
How do I pay, and does it bill again on its own?
Orders go through a secure checkout by credit or debit card, and the renewal is taken at the same price you first paid. Every invoice sits in the client area for you to read, and switching auto-renewal off is a toggle in your account rather than a phone call.
How do I read the mail when I am away from the desk?
Webmail opens in any browser, and every mailbox also speaks IMAP, POP and SMTP — so the mail app on your phone, the client on your desktop and webmail all show the same messages in the same order.
What if the site outgrows the plan I bought?
You move up in place. Plan changes are made from the client area with no migration and no downtime, and the range runs from small shared accounts through VPS to whole dedicated servers. Growing becomes a line change on your account rather than a hunt for a new host.
Can I set the PHP version myself?
Yes — PHP versions are chosen per site from the control panel, so an old application and a current one can sit side by side on the same account. Extensions and per-site settings live in the same screen, and none of it needs a support ticket.
