*📜 Plan description

Argon increases server capacity for agencies handling multiple complex WordPress sites. The plan shows 60 GB SSD, 7 GB RAM and 6 CPU cores with a suggested 600k monthly page views. As with the rest of the range, SSL is bundled and backups retain 14 copies with on-demand snapshots at any time. The Nimbus Platform underpins management, migrations are free and the service is marked carbon-neutral. Team management retains unlimited users, permissioning, email and Slack alerts. Developer tools include site cloning, Git deployment, WordPress utilities and a 4-step Power Boost for temporary performance headroom. Client-management features highlight multi-website management and built-in website stats. In the e-commerce section Argon begins lighting up more items, making it suitable for larger WooCommerce builds where caching layers and optimisation matter.

Common platform block: managed WordPress with free migrations, automated + on-demand backups, integrated SSL, staging and Git deploy, and collaborative access. Live chat/phone/email and a KB are the primary support routes. Resources scale up through the higher tiers for agencies that need predictable performance during campaigns or seasonal peaks.

📄 Editorial Review

Nimbus Hosting UK positions itself as a managed hosting platform for agencies and developers that need speed, reliability, and hands-on help. They focus on PHP-based sites (not just WordPress) and pair 100% root access with a managed layer: server maintenance, nightly offsite backups, proactive capacity alerts, and an operations-friendly dashboard. They lean heavily into performance — touting 400% better traffic-spike handling than typical providers — and sustainability, running their UK data centres on 100% renewable energy.

They report 99.995% uptime, reinforced by enterprise hardware, NGINX acceleration, and platform tooling aimed at shaving time off everyday tasks. Agencies get workflow integrations (GitHub, Bitbucket, Slack), single-pane portfolio management across clients, and collaboration controls for teams. Developers can pre-install recipes for WordPress, enable 1-click SSL, use caching via NimCache Ultra, and harden sites with NimShield. Support is UK-based, pragmatic, and fast — with most tickets answered inside an hour — and the platform currently underpins 14,000+ websites.
