Hosting advice: find the right web hosting for you

This guide will walk you through the different types of hosting package we offer across Shared Web Hosting, Managed Cloud Hosting, Reseller Hosting and VPS. Depending on your needs, there are different solutions.

What web hosting packages are available?

Reseller Hosting

This is how to make money from web hosting. You might want to start an independent web hosting business. Or perhaps you’d like to add a hosting strand to an existing venture like web design or IT support. If you need to host an unlimited number of sites, 20i’s Reseller Hosting is the best reseller package available.

You can sell the web hosting without having to mention 20i. You can customise your customers’ control panel and all URLs and messaging to match your brand. Or if you’d prefer, you can use our white-label ‘Stack’ brand name.

You can offer your customers a choice of packages, or tailor each package to every customer. With over 30 different features to add or remove from packages, you can offer lots of options and upgrade opportunities.

You can host any number of sites on our Linux or WordPress platforms.

It includes an automated Migration Centre that makes moving your sites to 20i a breeze. You can manage all your ecommerce, provisioning, support and communications with HostShop. As a 20i Reseller, you get access to helpful free resources and discounts on domains and VPS.

20i specialise in Reseller Hosting: our founders created the first reseller package. So you can feel confident in moving your hosting business to us.

Apply all the advantages of cloud hosting. Super-fast, multi-platform cloud hosting that lets you manage all your websites and apps easier than ever before.

VPS

Our high performance SSD VPS allows you to run whatever you want. It’s the same as having your own dedicated server in a data centre, without the hassle of visiting that data centre! We maintain all the hardware.

We use the latest 12-core Intel Xeon processors in Dell servers, with blazing-fast DDR4 RAM and Samsung enterprise SSDs. You have the choice of 6 different sizes of VPS, from 1 core to 10 cores, with corresponding tiers of memory and storage. They’re suitable for many different uses: website hosting, file storage, development, gaming – it’s up to you.

When you order a 20i VPS, you’ll first need to choose performance specs. Then, you can choose which operating system, and which applications you’d like to be installed straight away.

You’ll then be shown a final price, including the cost for any commercial software licences, if you’ve chosen any. Then, in less than a minute, your 20i VPS will be up and ready for you to run. You can cancel or upgrade at any time.

Shared Web Hosting:

Perfect for small businesses and private blogs. Single site hosting starting from just £1 without compromising on quality or extra features. There are plans on a Linux platform or our optimised WordPress platform available.

Our shared hosting options offer all you need and more. You get 1,000 x 10 GB Mailboxes, Free SSL certificate, free daily backups, automatic malware scans, no LVE limits and free CDN use, just to name a few of the perks.

Like all our hosting it is green hosting powered by 100% renewable energy.  Learn more about our shared hosting plans.
