Hosting for tradespeople
Website hosting for tradespeople
A tradesperson's website needs to be quick, local and easy to contact, and it does not need a large plan. Our Very Small plan, at £10.03 a year, is enough for a simple site with a quote form and business email. If you have a gallery of finished jobs or several areas to cover, the Small plan at £21.18 gives more room.

The Very Small plan is a good place to start
Why the website matters
What a website does for tradespeople
When a boiler fails or a roof leaks, people search on their phone and call one of the first businesses they find. A site that loads fast, shows your area, your services and a phone number they can tap wins that call.
Trust does the rest. Photos of real jobs, reviews from past customers, your accreditations and a business email address tell a stranger that you are who you say you are.
You do not need many pages. Clear, local and quick beats big and slow.
Very Small is built for one simple site. Choose Small if you plan a photo gallery of completed work.
What you need
What tradespeople need from hosting
Local relevance
A .co.uk domain, a UK server and pages that name the areas you cover support local search.
Quick on a mobile
Most calls start on a phone. Keep pages light, and the platform does the rest.
Business email
Use quotes@yourname.co.uk instead of a free account.
Trust signals
Add accreditations, insurance, reviews and photos of finished work.
Secure forms
Free SSL protects the details customers send.
Low cost
From £10.03 a year, so the site pays for itself with the first job.

Before you launch
A launch checklist
- The phone number is large and tappable
- Your service area is named clearly
- You show accreditations and insurance you really hold
- Photos of finished jobs are compressed
- The quote form sends to an address you check
- Your business details match your Google Business Profile
Avoid these
Common website mistakes to avoid
These are the mistakes we see most often, and each is quick to fix.
- Claiming accreditations you do not hold. It breaks trust and can break the rules.
- Listing every town in the country. Name the places you really cover.
- A long form. Three fields get more enquiries than ten.
- Stock photos of builders. Real jobs beat generic pictures.
- Never checking the form email. A missed enquiry is a lost job.
FAQ
Common questions
Is the cheapest plan enough?
For one simple site with a quote form and business email, yes. Choose Small if you want a large gallery of completed jobs.
Do I need to be technical?
No. Install WordPress in one click and use a simple template, or ask a freelancer to build it.
Can I have more than one website?
The Very Small plan has one addon domain. Larger plans give more.
Will the site help me appear locally?
A UK domain and server help, but you also need a Google Business Profile and genuine reviews.
Can I try it first?
Yes. You have 15 days from your first order to ask for a refund.
