A proper home online for recruitment agencies
A site that opens quickly, stays up and grows as you do — hosting for recruitment consultants and staffing firms with a niche with every essential already in the box.
Straight answer first
Recruitment agencies need speed, uptime and the particulars of the trade — starting with a jobs board kept in step with the ATS you already work in — from a setup that never asks them to hire a webmaster to keep it running.
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.

Most recruitment agencies run a site built around current vacancies, candidate registration, what you offer employers and sector commentary. Every piece of it leans on what sits underneath: disk speed, storage room, forms that deliver and mail that lands.
Here is the trade fact worth planning around: a recruitment site is read by two different customers at once — candidates judge it on how fresh the listings are, employers on how well you understand their sector — and a stale vacancy loses you both at the same moment.
Ask anyone in the trade about their worst afternoon with a website and the story runs like this: candidates applying for a role you filled last Tuesday, which quietly discredits every other listing you have. Everything on this page is written to stop that happening.
The hosting shopping list for recruitment agencies
Set the marketing aside and the requirements are concrete: a jobs board kept in step with the ATS you already work in, candidate registration that accepts a CV upload, sector pages that show you know one market properly and employer-facing writing that wins the brief before the ring-round of agencies starts.
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.
The speed your visitors expect without asking
Slow hosting costs you quietly, because the visitors it loses never complain — they simply go. Picture it plainly: candidates applying for a role you filled last Tuesday, which quietly discredits every other listing you have. 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.
The right tools for the job
In practice, sites in this trade run on WordPress with job-board plugins, ATS feed integration and CV-upload forms — 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.
Past the website: mail and credibility
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.
Why recruitment agencies order from us
Nobody here expects you to be a server engineer — recruitment consultants and staffing firms with a niche 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
Most recruitment agencies 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
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
Point the domain, then launch
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
Will roles come across from our ATS by themselves?
Yes. The mainstream ATS platforms feed job-board plugins, so a role appears and expires in step with your own system. Filled means gone, and candidates learn to trust that everything listed is genuinely still open.
What kind of writing brings in employer briefs?
Salary guides and market notes for your sector. Hiring managers read them when they are planning, and remember who wrote them when the vacancy comes up. It is authority marketing with a long and dependable tail.
What happens to my files if I leave?
The site and the files stay yours. Pull a full backup from the panel whenever you like, before or during cancellation. Domains remain registered in your name for the term you paid for and can move to any registrar once the standard 60-day window has passed.
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.
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.
Where do the servers actually sit?
Our hosting runs from European datacentres with London at the centre, behind server-level caching that keeps cached pages quick for visitors anywhere. For most sites the build of the platform — NVMe disks, LiteSpeed, sensible numbers of accounts per machine — decides the speed far more than the postcode does.
