*📜 Plan description

RapidSSL Wildcard covers unlimited subdomains of a given domain (e.g., shop.example.com, blog.example.com, plus the root domain). It is priced at £190/year and is a cost-effective solution for agencies managing multiple subdomains under one brand. It shares the same encryption and validation features as RapidSSL but expands coverage across all subdomains.

SSL products at Nimbus Hosting are offered in a simplified model—single-domain or wildcard—ensuring agencies can easily select based on project scale. Purchases are managed in the Nimbus shop alongside domains and hosting for unified billing.

📄 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.
