📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

G7Cloud is a UK hosting and application-platform provider active since 2017, with services aimed at website owners, developers, agencies, e-commerce businesses, and customers needing managed server infrastructure. The present legal operator is G7CLOUD ENTERPRISE LTD, an active private limited company incorporated in England and Wales on November 3, 2025, under company number 16828080. The newer incorporation therefore represents the current corporate entity rather than the beginning of the G7Cloud hosting brand. LinkedIn places the company in London and gives a team-size range of 11–50 employees.

The current platform moves well beyond conventional shared hosting. Each website or application operates inside its own dedicated container rather than sharing one general hosting account with unrelated customers. This creates stronger workload isolation while still keeping administration within a managed environment. Developers can deploy directly from Git and work with Node.js 18, 20 and 22, PHP 7.4 through 8.4, custom Docker images, and a broad selection of application frameworks.

The application platform can handle Next.js, Node.js, Astro, Laravel, Django, Ruby on Rails, Go, Rust, Java/Spring, Python/FastAPI and .NET projects. Git deployments, automated builds, SSL certificates, environment variables, application logs, terminal access, cron jobs and SFTP are integrated into the service, making it suitable for both conventional websites and application-development workloads.

Managed WordPress Hosting follows the same isolated-container model. WordPress is installed automatically, PHP versions can be changed from the dashboard, and WP-CLI, phpMyAdmin and SFTP are available for administration and development. Each WordPress site receives separate MariaDB credentials instead of using a common database account. Pro, Studio and Agency plans include dedicated MariaDB resources with reserved memory, while smaller accounts can add dedicated database capacity separately.

WordPress management also includes cloning, automatic wildcard SSL, monitoring, DNS, email and migration assistance. This makes the platform particularly practical for agencies maintaining multiple WordPress installations or customers that want more isolation than entry-level shared hosting normally provides.

WooCommerce Hosting applies the same dedicated-container architecture to online stores. Each store receives isolated application and database resources, while ScaleShield sits in front of the application to filter unwanted bots, scanners and request floods before they reach PHP. Redis can be added for object caching, while G7Cloud Cache avoids caching personalized areas such as carts, checkout pages and customer-account sections.

WooCommerce customers remain free to use Stripe, PayPal and other compatible payment gateways, and G7Cloud does not add transaction fees or traffic-based surcharges to store orders.

Magento Hosting is available for Magento 2 projects, while Ghost Hosting provides managed infrastructure for publishing, memberships and newsletter-based sites. The broader Headless CMS Hosting service supports Ghost, Strapi, Directus, Payload and Medusa, extending the platform beyond WordPress and conventional PHP hosting.

Managed database hosting is another important part of the service. Available technologies include PostgreSQL 15, Redis 7 and ClickHouse 25.8. Database instances have their own lifecycle, backup policy, retention and restore history. PostgreSQL includes access to memory, connection, WAL and autovacuum controls, Redis provides memory, persistence and eviction settings, and ClickHouse includes query-resource controls. Managed databases become available from the Business tier, while private networking requires Pro or above.

G7Cloud has also built AI-assisted website development directly into its platform. The AI Website Builder can create database-backed sites instead of limiting customers to static page layouts. It can generate front ends, administration areas and databases, with templates suited to blogs, content sites, shops, booking systems, restaurants, events and real-estate projects.

The related AI Shop Builder handles product catalogs, variants, stock management, discounts, customer records, orders and checkout functionality. Customers retain ownership of their generated code and can export it, avoiding the complete platform lock-in common with some hosted website builders.

Business Email Hosting is included with paid hosting rather than being priced separately for every user or mailbox. Customers can create domain-based mailboxes and aliases, use Roundcube webmail and connect through standard IMAP and SMTP clients. Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, iOS and Android are supported. Spam filtering is included, while DKIM and SPF can be configured automatically when the domain uses G7Cloud DNS.

The mail environment is separated from the web-hosting platform, which reduces the dependency between website workloads and email delivery. This is useful for businesses wanting hosting, DNS and email under one account without placing all services on the same application server.

Domain registration and transfer services are also available. A .com registration has been priced around £9.21 per year, alongside a wider selection of generic and country-code extensions.

For customers managing larger numbers of websites, Agency Hosting supports 25 client sites and adds team roles, assisted migrations and dedicated support. Wholesale & Reseller Hosting targets larger hosting portfolios, while Enterprise Hosting can include customized compute resources, high-availability configurations, a named contact and individually negotiated SLA conditions.

Higher-level plans can also use private WireGuard networking, creating encrypted private communication between authorized devices, website containers and managed databases.

Traditional server hosting remains available alongside the newer application platform. The Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) range uses AMD EPYC processor allocations, NVMe storage, daily backups, unmetered bandwidth and managed technical support. Custom VDS configurations can scale to 32 CPU cores, 256 GB RAM and several terabytes of NVMe storage.

A separate cPanel VDS range remains available for customers who prefer a familiar server-management environment instead of the native G7Cloud application dashboard. This gives the company an unusual mix of newer container-based application hosting and more traditional managed virtual-server services.

Security is handled partly through ScaleShield, which combines TLS termination, firewall protection, bot filtering and caching before requests reach hosted applications. Automatic SSL, including wildcard certificates, is included.

Backup protection is particularly strong. Nightly snapshots are not simply created and retained; restores are automatically tested inside a sandbox environment. Append-only protection also helps prevent compromised production systems from deleting their own backup history. Monthly backup copies can be stored separately from the main production environment.

The website is modern, responsive and primarily available in English, while products are principally priced in British pounds (GBP). Several older English US/UK paths remain available for legacy products and documentation, but the present service is clearly centered on the UK market and UK infrastructure.
