*📜 Plan description

Business is built for growing brands ready to expand content and begin simple selling. It includes a domain name + hosting, up to 1000 x 10 GB email addresses for staff or aliases, and the ability to build a site of up to 100 pages so you can publish landing pages, product highlights and blog sections without hitting a ceiling. Storage is unmetered under fair use, SSL is included, and the plan enables basic commerce by letting you add a PayPal Buy Now button to sell individual items or services with minimal setup. You still get the drag-and-drop editor, responsive templates, on-page SEO fields, contact forms and media galleries. Publish under your included domain or bring an existing domain across to keep continuity. When you outgrow single-button sales, upgrading to Business Unlimited preserves your design and content while unlocking a full store engine.

Common website builder platform details: The builder suite runs on WestHost’s hosted infrastructure with integrated SSL, analytics, and an easy dashboard. It’s designed so non-technical users can publish quickly while developers still appreciate clean markup and HTTPS by default. Help is available 24/7 on chat and tickets with phone for sales/billing during business hours, and a 30-day money-back guarantee applies on eligible services. Templates are responsive, the editor supports common widgets and embeds, and you can integrate social channels. Business tiers bring unmetered storage and larger mailbox quotas; Business Unlimited adds full e-commerce, credit/debit/PayPal acceptance, unlimited products and more. Uptime targets mirror the hosting platform and the public status page provides service visibility.

📄 Editorial Review

WestHost (founded in 1998 by Chris Russell, which is still the CEO), is a long-running hosting brand within THG Ingenuity (formerly UK2 Group acquisition in 2008). They position themselves as a straightforward provider of secure, cost-effective web services with a focus on entry-level and SMB use cases.

The current catalog centers on shared web hosting, email hosting, WordPress hosting, domain registration, a website builder and a paid security clean-up service.

Shared hosting highlights include a free domain, free mailboxes, and free wildcard SSL; higher tiers advertise unlimited disk space, unlimited MySQL databases, and unlimited websites. WordPress plans layer a guided installer and the broader plugin/theme ecosystem on top of the same infrastructure. The website builder line targets non-technical users with bundled domain, email, page limits by tier, and eCommerce features at the top end.

Email hosting remains a clear emphasis, offered in two tiers (Personal and Professional) with POP/IMAP, mobile sync, webmail, spam/virus protection, and optional mailbox storage upgrades. Domains are actively marketed with aggressive first-year promos and useful extras like DNS control, email forwarding, and a free one-page site.

Historically they described VPS options (SSD, multiple Linux/FreeBSD choices), but those services—along with dedicated/bare metal—have been folded into THG’s broader Ingenuity Cloud Services. Public activity on the WestHost brand has slowed (e.g., older blog/social timelines), suggesting the brand now primarily maintains core shared, email, WordPress, domains, and builder offerings.
