Web Hosting FAQs

Web Hosting is the business of providing the storage, connectivity, and services necessary to serve files for a website. Perhaps the easiest way to think of web hosting is to imagine your website as a house that has been built in a factory, but that needs land on which to be placed. Web hosting is the space for your website; Web hosting gives your website a place to live.

The short answer is that without it, no one except for you will be able to see your website.

You need web hosting in order for your website to be live. Web hosting allows the world to have access to your site.

At Pedleyonline, we provide SSL Web Hosting to keep your website secure, professional, and trusted by visitors. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a digital security certificate that encrypts the information shared between your website and its users. This is especially important if your site collects sensitive details such as contact form entries, login information, or online payments.

When your website is hosted with SSL, it displays HTTPS and the familiar padlock symbol in the browser bar. This instantly reassures customers that their data is protected. Google also favours secure websites, so SSL Web Hosting can improve your search rankings and overall SEO performance.

Choosing Pedleyonline’s SSL Web Hosting means you benefit from:

• Encrypted and secure communication between your site and visitors
• Increased customer trust and confidence
• Better visibility in Google and other search engines
• Compliance with modern website security standards

Put simply, SSL Web Hosting is no longer optional—it’s essential. By hosting your website with Pedleyonline, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your online presence is safe, secure, and optimised for both users and search engines.

Web hosting is a service provided by a web host. There are many many web hosts all offering various types of hosting packages depending on your requirements and your budget. Web hosts store all of the pages of your website on a server and makes them available to computers connected to the internet. When someone enters your domain name e.g. pedleyonline.co.uk into their browsers’ address field the website is loaded from your web host’s server. Basically, web hosts provide space for their customers’ websites on their servers.

Yes, of course we can and we’re happy to help.

Yes you can host your site elsewhere but unfortunately we cannot offer the same guarantees for reliability and features. If you intend to host your site elsewhere please research this carefully and make us aware at the earliest opportunity. In some cases the e-mail, database and contact form functionality we offer may not be included in your hosting package if you choose to host your site elsewhere.

We have two Web Hosting Packages available, Standard Web Hosting and Premium Web Hosting. The current price for 12 months Standard Web Hosting via Pedleyonline is £80.00 per domain name. That equates to just over £6 per month, although at Pedleyonline we charge annually for web hosting. Premium Web Hosting is available at £150 per domain name per annum and includes an SSL Certificate.

For new websites, Web hosting starts only when the site is complete, not during its design and development.

If you ask us to arrange web hosting for you then you can relax and leave it all to us! We’ll remind you when your web hosting is due for renewal by sending you our invoice.

If you arrange your own hosting then in most cases your supplier should contact you direct about renewing your web hosting.

Both are possible – please Contact Us to discuss the changes and we’ll do whatever we can to help.
