The Real Cost of Hosting
Why Cheap Hosting Is Costing You More Than You Think
If you’re a UK manufacturing business relying on your website to generate enquiries, then the hosting behind your site matters — a lot more than you might realise. At AMI, we provide UK private website hosting designed specifically for busy manufacturers who don’t have time for technical problems, slow support, or unreliable performance.So let’s break down the difference between private, managed hosting and the cheap hosting offered by big-name providers like GoDaddy, 123 Reg, and IONOS.
What Is UK Private Website Hosting?
Private hosting means your website isn’t crammed onto a server shared with 1,000+ others. It’s hosted on a dedicated, performance-optimised server, right here in the UK, managed by real people, not an overseas call centre.
With AMI, you get:
- Fast load times that help SEO and conversions
- Reliable uptime (99.99%) – your website is always available
- Daily backups and active security monitoring
- Full WordPress maintenance
- UK-based support you can call when needed
What You Get With Cheap Hosting (And Why It’s a Problem)
Too many manufacturing firms are unknowingly hosting their WordPress websites on £5/month plans. It’s like parking a brand-new car down a dodgy, secluded lane.
Here’s what that looks like in reality:
❌ Cheap Hosting (GoDaddy, 123Reg, IONOS)
- Shared server with 1,000+ unknown sites
- Frequent downtime
- Slow page loads
- Overseas support, long hold times
- No monitoring or maintenance
- Hidden costs, upsells
✅ AMI Private Hosting
- Private, secure server just for our clients
- 99.99% uptime
- Lightning-fast performance
- Office-based UK team you can call directly
- Fully managed by us – we spot issues before you do
- One fixed monthly fee – no nasty surprises
Why This Matters for Manufacturers
You’re not a tech company — and you shouldn’t have to be. You should be focused on machining, fabricating, assembling and delivering – not troubleshooting why your site is down or why forms aren’t working.
