📄 Editorial Review

PD Hosting is a UK web hosting, domain registration and digital-services provider operated by Projektif Digital Ltd. The business originated in 2010, when Projektif Internet began operating in Istanbul. It later expanded into Projektif Digital Agency, established a UK company in London in 2020, registered the PD Hosting trademark in 2021 and became a member and Accredited Channel Partner of Nominet in 2022.

The company was founded by Bulent Kocaman, who also serves as a director of Projektif Digital Ltd. The UK company was incorporated on February 25, 2020, under registration number 12482555. Its team size is listed within the 11–50 employee range.

PD Hosting covers considerably more than conventional website hosting. Its portfolio includes domain registration, virtual private servers, application hosting, professional email, email security, SSL certificates, website backups, malware protection, website-building tools, search-engine optimization, WordPress maintenance and general technical support.

A major change affects customers looking for traditional entry-level hosting. New registrations for the standard cPanel Web Hosting and WordPress Hosting packages are no longer accepted, although existing customers can continue using these services. Legacy package information and prices remain visible, so anyone planning to order should confirm that the selected product is still available before making payment.

The former shared-hosting range was divided into Starter, Advanced and Business packages. These plans included SSD storage, unmetered data transfer, free SSL certificates, email accounts, databases, automatic backups, website migration and cPanel access. Storage allowances ranged from 5 GB to 40 GB, with support for between one and five websites.

The managed WordPress Hosting range included installation tools, centralized WordPress management, staging, cloning, updates, SSL certificates, backups and migration assistance. Storage ranged from 10 GB to 60 GB, while the number of supported websites varied from one to five.

Agency Hosting is designed for developers, designers and agencies managing multiple customer websites. The packages include cPanel, WordPress management, SSL certificates, daily backups and unmetered traffic. Capacity ranges from 20 websites and 80 GB of storage to 100 websites and 200 GB. Since this service uses the same cPanel-based environment associated with the retired shared-hosting products, current ordering eligibility should be confirmed before purchase.

The most relevant active infrastructure products are the Linux VPS and WordPress VPS packages. Linux VPS accounts are unmanaged virtual servers supplied with a selected operating system, a static IP address, SSH access, firewall controls, monitoring and automated provisioning. Available operating systems include Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, FreeBSD and OpenSUSE.

The Linux VPS range starts with 512 MB RAM, two virtual CPU cores, 20 GB SSD storage and 512 GB of monthly transfer. Higher configurations provide up to 4 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD storage and 2 TB transfer. The smaller packages are best suited to lightweight websites, development environments, monitoring systems, VPN gateways and modest applications. Resource-intensive databases and busy production websites require one of the larger configurations.

SMTP port 25 is blocked across the VPS network. Websites and applications that send email must use authenticated submission ports such as 587 or 2525, normally through an external SMTP service. This policy reduces abuse but requires configuration changes when migrating older applications or mail-server software.

The WordPress VPS service combines Amazon Web Services infrastructure with a preconfigured Bitnami WordPress environment. Plans range from 1 GB RAM, two virtual CPUs and 40 GB SSD storage to 8 GB RAM, two virtual CPUs and 160 GB SSD storage. Static IP addresses, SSH access, monitoring and automated deployment are included.

WordPress VPS is more isolated and flexible than shared hosting, but it still requires server-management knowledge. Customers who do not want to handle updates, security, configuration and troubleshooting themselves need an additional maintenance or support subscription.

PD Hosting also maintains product pages for Drupal, Joomla, Magento, WooCommerce, OpenCart, PrestaShop and PHP hosting. These packages use a cPanel environment with CloudLinux account isolation, LiteSpeed web serving, SSL certificates, backups, migration assistance and one-click application installation. Their technical platform is closely related to the company’s traditional cPanel hosting, so availability should be checked before ordering.

Domain registration is one of the more established parts of the business. More than 500 domain extensions are supported, together with DNS management, DNS backup and restoration, mail forwarding and online account controls. Its Nominet membership and Accredited Channel Partner status add particular value for customers registering .uk and .co.uk domains.

Professional Email uses OX App Suite and includes webmail, calendars, tasks, contacts, IMAP access, anti-spam protection and anti-virus filtering. A higher package adds larger mailboxes, cloud storage and browser-based document tools.

The Email Security range includes incoming filtering, outgoing filtering and email archiving. These services can be useful for companies that want to keep their existing mail provider while adding stronger spam, malware and compliance controls.

SSL certificates are available as separate paid products, while eligible hosting accounts include free Let’s Encrypt certificates. Website Backup provides automated off-site snapshots, database protection, file-change monitoring and restoration tools. Website Security adds malware and vulnerability protection as an optional subscription.

The Website Builder uses responsive templates, widgets, blog functions and static website generation. The separate Make Me a Website service combines custom design, content preparation, basic SEO work, hosting, email, a domain and an SSL certificate.

SEO Tools provides automated website analysis and optimization guidance. WordPress Maintenance includes updates, backups, security scanning, performance monitoring and allocated technical work. PdCare+ is a broader technical-support subscription that can be used with hosting accounts, VPS products and WordPress installations.

The website has a modern responsive layout and is available in English. Prices are primarily displayed in British pounds.
