*📜 Plan description

Hydrogen targets multiple high-traffic websites and large Magento stores. It shows 175 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 8 cores and guidance of ~2.5M monthly page views. SSL and robust backups (14 retained + on-demand) are bundled, as are free migrations and carbon-neutral hosting on the Nimbus Platform. Unlimited team seats with permissions, email/Slack notifications, cloning, Git deploy, WordPress admin tools and Power Boost (4) are available. Client-facing features cover multi-site management and stats; the e-commerce section shows broad support (PCI pathway, WooCommerce, Magento, Elasticsearch and Varnish) making Hydrogen a strong fit for commerce projects.

Common block: managed WordPress platform built for agencies—staging/clone, Git, role-based access, automated/on-demand backups, SSL, centralised management and collaborative notifications. Phone/chat/email support and a knowledge base are included; moving up the ladder increases headroom for peak seasons.

📄 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.
