Why choose Best Effort Hosting?
Guaranteed uptime
We said guaranteed. We didn't specify how many nines, or which decimal.
24/7 support
Someone is technically awake somewhere in the world, at all times. Awake and reading your ticket are two different things.
Rock-solid infrastructure
The servers are bolted down. We can confirm that much.
Money-back guarantee
We offer one. Ask Alex in Finance how quickly. We'll wait.
Free migrations
We'll move your site over, eventually. Need it sooner? There's a paid Extra for that too.
Scalable plans
Upgrade any time you like. The level of care stays exactly the same.
Security
Blocks most attacks, and a small but consistent percentage of legitimate logins. We call this balance.
Backups
Schrodinger's backups: both there and not there, until you actually need one.
Real humans
A real person reads every ticket, eventually. For a guaranteed read, see We Actually Read Your Ticket under Extras.
A plan for every level of expectation
Three tiers, one philosophy: we'll do what's needed, roughly when it's needed. Pick based on how much you're prepared to not hear from us.
Starter
£2.99/mo
Shared hosting, does what it says on the tin. Fine for small sites that don't ask for much.
OrderPlus
£5.99/mo
The one most people should probably get. More storage, more websites, marginally more attention.
OrderVPS Starter
£14.99/mo
Your own virtual machine, on hardware shared with housemates you'll never meet.
