Web Hosting in York
Fast, secure, rock-solid hosting for York and North Yorkshire businesses - from the people who built your site, not a faceless hosting company who's never seen it. We've been keeping websites running since 1999.
What we do
A website that's slow, insecure or offline is a website that's losing you customers. We host sites on infrastructure we manage ourselves, so when something needs attention, we're already on it - not waiting on a ticket to a call centre that's never seen your site before.
Fast hosting
Built on infrastructure tuned for speed, because a slow site loses customers and loses ground in Google's rankings.
Secure by default
SSL, firewalls, monitoring and patching handled as standard, so your site and your customers' data stay protected.
Managed & monitored
We watch every site we host around the clock, so problems get caught and fixed before they cost you enquiries.
Backed up
Regular backups mean that if the worst happens, your site can be restored quickly, not rebuilt from scratch.
Sites we host
We host and manage websites for businesses across York and North Yorkshire, whether we built the site ourselves or migrated it across from somewhere else.

How we work
Assess
We look at what your site needs - traffic, platform, any quirks - before recommending anything.
Migrate
We move your site across with no downtime, so visitors never notice anything changed.
Monitor
Once you're live, we keep watching - uptime, speed, security - so issues get caught early.
Support
When you need something changed or something's gone wrong, you talk to people who already know your site.
Why Status 218
We're a York-based studio that's been hosting websites since 1999 - long enough to know what breaks and how to stop it. You deal directly with the people doing the work, not a support queue. And because we also design, build and market websites, your hosting is never a bolt-on afterthought - it's part of one joined-up service.
Web hosting FAQs
Can you host a website you didn't build?
Yes. We can migrate and host most existing websites, whatever they were built with, and handle the move for you so there's no downtime and nothing for you to do.
What happens if my website goes down?
You reach the people who actually run the servers, not a call centre. We monitor sites we host and, in most cases, we're onto a problem before you've noticed it.
Do you back up my website?
Yes. Regular automated backups are part of our managed hosting, so your site can be restored quickly if anything ever goes wrong.
Is your hosting UK-based?
Yes. We provide fast, secure UK hosting with support from people you can actually talk to - based here, not offshore.
