Website Hosting

Fast, reliable hosting configured around what you actually need. Tell us what you’re hosting and the level of support you’re looking for, and we’ll take care of everything else.

UK managed hosting. No middlemen, no outsourcing.

Most hosting providers rent infrastructure from third parties and offload support to someone else. We do things differently. Our servers are owned, managed, and monitored by our in-house team, which means you always have direct access to the people responsible for your website’s performance, security, and reliability.

The right hosting solution for your business.

We take the time to understand what you’re running and what it needs to perform at its best. If your platform is critical to how your business operates, we can put together a solution with failover hosting and a service-level agreement, so you know exactly what to expect if something goes wrong. Whatever your requirements, we’ll recommend the right environment and manage it for you.

Built for resilience. Managed by us.

Our hosting infrastructure spans multiple UK locations, including our own data centres in Sheffield and Wolverhampton, as well as cloud-based environments. This gives us the flexibility to match the right setup to what you’re running, whether that’s a simple website or a large-scale business platform. Every environment is monitored and managed by our in-house team, so there’s always someone who knows your setup on hand when you need them.

Built in, not bolted on

Fully Managed Hosting

Our in-house team designs and builds every hosting environment from the ground up. From bare metal to fully customised website hosting, we configure the right setup for your platform.

Nightly Backups

We perform nightly encrypted backups for every client as standard. All copies are stored offsite in a secure remote location, so your data is always safe and recoverable.

Unbiased Expertise

We’re not tied to any particular brand or platform, so our advice is always based on what’s right for your business. If one solution offers better value than another, we’ll tell you.

Enterprise Grade Hardware

We only source hardware from world-class brands including Dell, HP and Lenovo, so you can be confident your platform is running on equipment built to last.

Customer Reviews

Frequently Asked Questions

We get asked a lot of questions about our data centres, so we’ve popped the most common ones here. Can’t find what you’re after? Get in touch; we’re happy to help.

Do you own your own servers, or do you resell hosting?

We own every server we host on. We don’t resell space from a third-party provider, so there’s no reseller markup and no dependency on someone else’s infrastructure. If something needs fixing, we fix it ourselves.

Where is my data physically stored?

In the UK, always. Our servers are based at our own facilities in Sheffield and Wolverhampton, plus a UK-based cloud layer. We don’t route data through overseas infrastructure or foreign cloud providers.

What's the difference between your Sheffield and Wolverhampton data centres?

Sheffield (SHF-01) is a Tier II facility with 24/7 CCTV, backup diesel generator power and redundant infrastructure. Wolverhampton (WLV-01) is Tier III, with dual-fed power, automatic number plate recognition and advanced CCTV. Having both gives us true geographic separation, so if one site has an issue, your hosting isn’t dependent on a single location.

Do you offer cloud hosting as well as physical servers?

Yes. We provide technical SEO, on-page optimisation, content recommendations, performance improvements and ongoing SEO strategies to help businesses improve their visibility in search engines. We also offer AI Visibility services to help businesses appear more effectively in AI-powered search tools such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and other large language models.

Is my website backed up automatically?

Yes, backups happen automatically and regularly as standard. If something goes wrong, we restore from backup without you needing to do anything yourself.

Is support available outside office hours?

Yes. Our network operations team monitors infrastructure 24/7, so issues are caught and dealt with at 3am as quickly as they would be at 3pm.

Can you migrate my website from another host?

Yes, we handle migrations as part of onboarding. Tell us what you’re running and we’ll manage the move across for you.

Who is Webforward's hosting suitable for?

We host for businesses of all sizes, from local independents to national organisations — including solicitors, manufacturers, training providers, charities, construction companies and retailers.
