Trade guide · Private Tutors
A proper home online for private tutors
NVMe hosting set up around the way tutors teaching on their own and small tuition centres really work — SSL included, the move in done for you, and real people on the counter day and night.
Straight answer first
For private tutors, good hosting comes down to three things: pages that open at once on a phone, a site that holds up at the worst possible moment, and hands-on help with details like a page for each subject and level, worded the way parents type it — 'GCSE maths tutor near me'.
All of it sits on the shelf as standard — NVMe speed, LiteSpeed caching, free SSL and migration, mail on your own domain and support around the clock — on a price tag that reads the same at renewal.

Charged at setup
A typical site in this trade is subjects and levels, results, what families say, your rates and an enquiry form — and every one of those parts rests on something the hosting has to provide.
Tutoring platforms keep charging on lessons they arranged a single time; a tutor with a findable site of their own takes the local searches directly and keeps the whole hourly rate. That single fact shapes what matters on a hosting plan far more than any tick-box comparison table ever will.
Ask anyone in the trade about their worst afternoon with a website and the story runs like this: an agency clipping every lesson fee, term after term, for one introduction it made years ago. Everything on this page is written to stop that happening.
What counts in hosting for private tutors
The real list is shorter and far more specific than any host's comparison table would suggest: a page for each subject and level, worded the way parents type it — 'GCSE maths tutor near me', evidence of results, presented without any overclaiming, rates in plain figures, so families sort themselves out before writing and a page about online lessons, which takes your market past the end of your own street.
The good news is that every item on that list is standard on a well-built platform. The catch is that each one is also where a cut-price host quietly economises — slower disks, crowded servers, mail sold separately, and backups that turn out to be weekly and unrestorable.
Why quick pages pay for themselves here
Visitors decide in seconds, usually on a phone, usually at the exact moment they were ready to act. An agency clipping every lesson fee, term after term, for one introduction it made years ago — that is what slow hosting really costs, and it never appears as a line on any invoice.
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.
Software that suits this kind of site
In practice, sites in this trade run on the Website Builder or WordPress, subject page structure and a Calendly-style booking embed — every one of them installable in a single click from the control panel, with no command line anywhere in sight.
Whichever route you take, the result stays yours. WordPress sites export and move freely, the domain is registered in your name, and nothing about the build ties you to us beyond the service being worth keeping.
The quiet layer that builds trust
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.
A hosting shop that knows this trade
Nobody here expects you to be a server engineer — tutors teaching on their own and small tuition centres come to us so the site runs quietly while the real work gets done.
Backups run every day on every plan, and putting a file or a database back takes one click from the panel.
- SSL and the move in, free on every plan
- NVMe storage behind LiteSpeed caching
- Mailboxes on your own domain included
- Real people on the counter, any hour

First Steps
From choosing to live
- 1
Start on a plan sized for the job
Start where you actually are. A small plan runs a professional site for this work without straining, and the tier can grow on the day the traffic does.
- 2
Install fresh, or hand us the old one
One-click installers handle a fresh build; the free migration service handles the existing one. Either way you are live without ever opening a config file.
- 3
Go live and leave the worrying here
Once DNS points here, SSL issues itself and the maintenance layer takes over. Your job is the content; the machinery underneath is ours to mind.

Across the Counter
The questions we get asked most
What actually makes a parent pick one tutor over another?
Detail. Name the exam board and the syllabus you teach, show before-and-after grades with the names taken off, and explain how you report progress home. Parents are buying confidence in a method, not a list of subjects.
Do I have to publish my hourly rate?
Yes, and you will get fewer enquiries of much better quality. Add a price for a term's block and families work out for themselves whether you fit before writing. Your evenings stop going on quotes that were never going anywhere.
Can I bring a domain I already own?
Yes, and transfers in are routine. Unlock the name at your present registrar, collect the auth code, then start the transfer from your client area. Whatever registration time is left comes across with it, and DNS keeps answering the whole way through.
What uptime do you commit to, and who is watching?
We commit to 99.9% uptime and watch it continuously. That figure is an operational target rather than a poster line, and the alerting behind it usually has an engineer on a problem before the first customer notices anything is wrong.
Can one plan hold more than a single website?
From the Pro tier upward, yes — several sites, each with its own domain, mailboxes and certificate, all under one account. If those extra sites belong to clients rather than to you, reseller hosting is the better fit: it gives each one proper separation.
Are backups included, and can I put one back myself?
A backup is taken daily on every plan, and the restore is yours to run from the panel in minutes — files, databases or both, at three in the morning without waiting on a ticket. Keeping your own copy offsite as well is never a bad habit, and nothing here stops you.
Is the SSL certificate genuinely free?
On every plan, with nothing held back. The certificate is issued the moment your domain points here and reissues itself well before expiry. The encryption is the same as a paid DV certificate — paid tiers exist only for wildcard coverage or organisation validation, which most sites never need.

A plain running order for a move nobody notices: what to copy first, how to carry email across without dropping a single message, when to point DNS, and the two slips behind nearly every hour of downtime we get called about.
Do the launch properly this time.
Quick NVMe hosting, SSL and the move in included, and real people on the counter at any hour — on a price that doesn't shift.
