There are thousands of hosting companies out there, and most of them will happily take your money, park your website on an overcrowded server, and leave you to fend for yourself when something goes wrong. We set up Shout Websites hosting because we believed local businesses deserved better than that. After 26 years of building and maintaining websites for businesses across Devon and beyond, we know exactly what good hosting looks like, and more importantly, what bad hosting costs you in lost customers, lost rankings, and lost patience.
What You Actually Get
Our hosting is not a reskinned version of some budget shared server. We run our sites on enterprise-grade Linux infrastructure with dedicated WordPress hosting environments built for speed and security. Every site we host benefits from automatic daily backups, free SSL certificates, a global content delivery network, and staging environments for safe testing before any changes go live. That is not a premium add-on. That is the standard.
We actively monitor server performance, handle WordPress core and plugin updates, and keep a close eye on security threats. If something breaks at two in the morning, we deal with it so you do not have to. You will never find yourself on hold with a faceless support centre reading from a script. When you call or email us, you speak to the same people who built your site.
Hosting Plans That Fit Your Business
We offer hosting packages starting from just £10 per month. At that price, you get reliable, secure hosting with proper backups, SSL, and CDN included. For a small business or sole trader, that is everything you need to keep your website running smoothly and ranking well. You will struggle to find anything comparable at that price, and if you do, you will almost certainly not get the hands-on support that comes with it.
For businesses that need more, we offer plans at £50, £100, and above. These higher-tier packages are designed for sites with heavier traffic, more complex functionality, or requirements for faster load times and priority support. An e-commerce site processing hundreds of orders a week has very different needs to a five-page brochure site, and our hosting reflects that. We tailor each package to the demands of the site, so you are never paying for resources you do not use or going short on what you actually need.
Speed Is Not Optional
Google has made it clear that page speed is a ranking factor. Visitors make snap judgements about your business based on how quickly your site loads. A slow website does not just frustrate people; it actively pushes them towards your competitors. Our hosting infrastructure is optimised for WordPress performance, with server-level caching, SSD storage, and CDN distribution that puts your content closer to your visitors wherever they are in the world.
We have also developed our own performance tools, including ShoutFast, a system that generates lightning-fast static versions of WordPress sites. The results speak for themselves. Our clients regularly achieve Google PageSpeed scores in the high 90s, which is genuinely rare for WordPress sites. That performance advantage translates directly into better search rankings and a better experience for every visitor.
Security You Can Count On
WordPress powers roughly 40% of the web, which makes it a constant target for hackers, bots, and brute-force attacks. A good hosting setup is your first line of defence. Our servers run enterprise-grade firewalls, malware scanning, and intrusion detection systems. We keep WordPress, themes, and plugins updated to close known vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. And because we back up every site daily, if the worst does happen, we can have you restored and back online quickly.
Every site we host also gets a SSL certificate, (If the nameservers are pointing to us!) which encrypts data between your visitors and your server. This is not just good security practice. Google actively penalises sites without SSL in search results, and modern browsers display warning messages that frighten visitors away from unencrypted sites. With Shout Websites hosting, this is all handled for you automatically.
Support From People Who Know Your Site
This is where we are fundamentally different from the big hosting companies. When you host with Shout Websites, your support comes from the same team that designed and built your website. We know your site inside out because we created it. We know what plugins you are running, how your contact forms are configured, and what your business actually needs from its online presence.
That means faster fixes, better advice, and none of the back-and-forth that comes with trying to explain your setup to someone who has never seen it before. If you need a quick content update, a new page, or advice on how to improve your search visibility, we are a phone call or email away. Many of our clients have been with us for over a decade, and that loyalty is built on the kind of personal service that simply does not exist with the big providers.
Who Is This For?
Our hosting is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses that want their website looked after properly without the hassle of dealing with it themselves. Whether you are a tradesperson, a local retailer, a professional services firm, or a charity, we have a hosting solution that fits your needs and your budget. We work with businesses right across Devon, from Exeter to Plymouth and everywhere in between, as well as clients further afield.
If you are currently paying for hosting elsewhere and wondering whether you are getting good value, the answer is probably no. Most budget hosting providers cut corners on speed, security, and support. We would be happy to take a look at your current setup and give you an honest assessment of whether a move to Shout Websites hosting would benefit your business.
