Host Your Server.
Managed server hosting in the UK

Managed servers in a UK data centre, looked after by IT WORKHOUSE.

Some things need a proper server: a website that's outgrown cheap hosting, a business app, a database, or a tool your team logs into every day. Renting one is easy. Keeping it patched, watched and backed up is the bit that tends to slip.

We do both. Pick a size, and we'll lock it down and look after it, from a UK data centre, with a real person in Devon on the end of the phone.

In short: IT WORKHOUSE, an IT company in Devon, provides managed servers in a UK data centre in four sizes: Small £60, Medium £95, Large £175 and Amazing £395 a month, all plus VAT. Every plan includes automatic security updates, round-the-clock monitoring and nightly off-site backups kept for 30 days. Support is by phone or email in UK working hours, and we aim to respond within one business hour. Extra work is £90 + VAT an hour, quoted before we start.

Who is it for?

  1. Businesses running a website, online shop or booking system that needs more than shared hosting.
  2. Teams with a business app or database that has to be up when the working day starts.
  3. Anyone whose server is sitting on a personal account, an old provider or a machine under a desk.
  4. Anyone who built their own app and wants it hosted properly. See App hosting for apps you've built yourself.

What's included in every plan

All the server, none of the headaches. Every update, every backup, handled.

Locked down. We close everything that doesn't need to be open, and switch on key-only access, a firewall and protection against password-guessing.

Patched. Security updates go on automatically, and we keep an eye on anything that needs a restart or a human decision.

Monitored around the clock. We watch your server day and night, so we usually know about a problem before you do.

Backed up every night. Nightly off-site backups, kept for 30 days, so one bad day doesn't become a disaster.

UK data centre. Your server sits in a UK data centre with enterprise SSD storage and resilient networking.

A real person in Devon. Phone or email us in UK working hours and we aim to respond within one business hour. No call centre and no ticket numbers.

Room to grow. Small, Medium and Large can be upgraded as you grow, usually with just a restart.

Extra work when you need it. Installing software, moving a website across, or anything beyond looking after the server is £90 + VAT an hour, quoted before we start.

How it works

1

Tell us what it's for

A website, an app, a database? Tell us what you want to run and roughly how many people use it.

We recommend a size

We'll suggest the right plan, and tell you if you could get away with a smaller one.

We harden the server, and move your website or app across if you need us to.

4

We look after it

Patching, monitoring and nightly backups, plus a named person when you need a hand.

Common questions

Straight answers, with prices where we have them.

Most single websites and small tools run happily on Small. A business app with a database usually wants Medium. Large suits busy apps or several sites on one server, and Amazing is for when you want a whole physical server to yourself. Tell us what you're running and we'll recommend one.

Small, Medium and Large are virtual servers: your own private server with guaranteed memory, running on shared, high-end hardware. Amazing is a dedicated server: a whole physical machine that's yours alone, with dual network links and dual power.

In a UK data centre, with enterprise SSD storage in mirrored drives and resilient networking. Your server and the data on it stay in the UK.

We back up your server every night to a separate, off-site location and keep each backup for 30 days. If something goes wrong, we can put things back the way they were.

Yes. Small, Medium and Large can be upgraded as you grow, usually with just a restart. Moving up to Amazing means moving to a new server, which we'll quote for at £90 + VAT an hour.

Small is £60, Medium £95, Large £175 and Amazing £395 a month, all plus VAT. Moving an existing website or app across, or other extra work, is £90 + VAT an hour, quoted before we start.

If you've built an app with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Cursor or ChatGPT, or a freelancer built it for you, have a look at our App hosting page. That covers a security review of the app itself as well as the server.
