We begin by understanding your website and hosting requirements.
Whether you’re launching a new website or migrating an existing one, we’ll recommend the best hosting solution for your needs.

Managed Hosting Without the Headaches
Website hosting is often treated as little more than somewhere to store your website.
In reality, the quality and management of your hosting can affect your website’s speed, reliability and security.
Our managed hosting service is designed for businesses that don’t want to worry about server configuration, software updates, SSL certificates, backups or what happens when something goes wrong.
We manage the technical side for you and provide a single point of contact when you need help.
What’s Included With Our Managed Web Hosting?
Fast, Reliable Hosting
Your website is hosted on modern cloud infrastructure with resources carefully managed to provide excellent performance and reliability.
We don’t believe in cramming as many websites as possible onto overcrowded servers simply to offer the cheapest possible hosting.
Instead, our hosting is designed around businesses that depend on their websites being available and performing properly.
SSL Certificates
SSL encryption protects information travelling between your website and its visitors and is an essential part of running a modern website.
SSL certificates are configured and managed as part of your hosting, so you don’t need to worry about purchasing, installing or renewing them yourself.
Regular Backups
Things can go wrong — from a problematic software update to accidental changes or a security incident.
Regular backups provide an important safety net.
We maintain backups of hosted websites so that if something does happen, we have the ability to restore your website rather than starting again.
Proactive Monitoring
You shouldn’t have to discover that your website is offline because a customer tells you.
Our monitoring systems regularly check website availability and server health, helping us identify problems quickly and investigate when something isn’t working as expected.
Security Management
Website security isn’t something that should be configured once and forgotten.
Our hosting environments are configured with security in mind, including firewalls, SSL, software updates and measures designed to reduce common threats.
For managed WordPress websites, we can also help keep WordPress and its supporting software updated and respond to security vulnerabilities when they arise.
Performance Optimisation
Hosting plays an important role in website performance.
We can configure caching, compression and other performance technologies where appropriate to help your website load quickly and provide a better experience for visitors.
Managed WordPress Hosting
WordPress is extremely flexible, but it also requires ongoing maintenance.
Plugins, themes and WordPress itself receive regular updates containing new functionality, bug fixes and security patches.
Our managed WordPress hosting service combines website hosting with the technical management needed to keep your WordPress website healthy.
Depending on your support package, this can include software updates, backups, security monitoring, performance optimisation and technical assistance when something goes wrong.
Whether we’ve developed your website or you’ve come to us with an existing WordPress site, we can provide a managed environment without requiring you to become your own system administrator.

WooCommerce Hosting
An ecommerce website places different demands on hosting than a simple brochure website.
Customers need to be able to browse products, access their basket and complete checkout reliably — and every minute of downtime can potentially mean lost sales.
We provide managed hosting for WooCommerce websites with performance, reliability and security in mind.
As your store grows, we can also review its requirements and adjust the hosting environment where necessary.
And because we also provide WooCommerce and ecommerce development, you have access to somebody who understands both the website and the infrastructure it runs on.

Website Migration
Already have a website hosted somewhere else?
Moving hosting providers can sound daunting, particularly when your website is important to the day-to-day operation of your business.
We’ll handle the technical migration for you.
Depending on your existing setup, this can include:
- Website files
- WordPress
- Databases
- DNS configuration
- SSL certificates
- Domain configuration
- Email migration where required
- Pre-launch testing
We’ll test the website on the new hosting environment before completing the switch wherever possible, helping minimise disruption and downtime.
Hosting With Someone You Can Actually Contact
One of the biggest differences between our managed hosting and a mass-market hosting provider is the support.
You won’t need to work out whether your problem belongs to the hosting company, WordPress developer, plugin developer or somebody else.
You can simply contact us.
Because Lucidflare Tech provides web development as well as hosting, we can investigate problems across both the website and the environment it runs on.
For businesses without an internal IT or development team, that can make managing a website considerably easier.
Hosting for Websites We Build
If we’re developing your new website, we can also host and manage it after launch.
This gives you one point of contact for the entire website.
Rather than having your domain with one company, hosting with another and your developer somewhere else, we can take care of the technical side and continue supporting the website as your requirements change.

Your hosting environment is professionally prepared. We configure security, SSL certificates, backups, monitoring and performance settings to provide a fast and secure foundation. Whether we’re launching a new solution for you, or you’re moving from another provider, we’ll handle everything for you. We can carefully transfer your website, databases and emails where required, ensuring minimal downtime and no loss of data. Before your website is switched over, we perform thorough testing. We verify functionality, performance, security and DNS configuration to ensure everything works exactly as expected. Once your website is live, we keep a close eye on it. Our monitoring systems check uptime, performance and server health around the clock, allowing us to respond quickly if any issues arise. We provide regular updates, security patching, backups, performance optimisation and expert support, ensuring your website continues to run smoothly as your business grows.
