📄 Editorial Review

Hosting.co.uk was a UK-focused web hosting provider founded in 2012 by Frederick Schiwek. It operated for several years as a recognizable UK hosting brand, later becoming part of Zonat S.A. (zonat.net), and then moving into the World Host Group (worldhost.group) portfolio after the hosting business was sold in December 2023. Today, Hosting.co.uk is no longer active as a standalone provider and the customer route has been migrated under hosting.com.

During its active years, Hosting.co.uk was known for UK-based hosting, green infrastructure, and a broad catalogue of services for small businesses, developers, agencies, and resellers. Its portfolio included Shared Hosting, Cloud Hosting, Reseller Hosting, VPS, Dedicated Servers, Domain Registration, SSL Certificates, Website Builder, Website Monitoring, Cloud Backup, and related website tools.

The shared hosting range covered typical LAMP-based hosting needs, with PHP, MySQL, Perl, Python, Ruby, 1-click CMS installers, email accounts, FTP access, SSL options, and migration support. Reseller hosting was built for agencies and web professionals using WHM/cPanel, while VPS plans offered Linux distributions such as CentOS, Debian, and Fedora. Dedicated server plans were aimed at heavier workloads, using Intel Xeon-class hardware, 1Gbps ports, remote KVM access, and flexible operating-system options.

A notable weakness before the migration was the disconnect between some listed services and checkout availability. Website-builder packages, dedicated servers, and several cloud plans remained visible in parts of the catalogue, but they could not reliably be purchased at checkout. For a hosting company, this was a serious trust issue because customers could compare features, start an order, and only later discover that the service was no longer truly available.
