GEN Hosting - UK Premium Hosting

With 24/7 Human Support

Fully Supported

In today's market you can go out and get hosting for £1 a month from many of our competitors, its not very good, but you can, and if that's what you're looking for then we're not the right choice.

If on the other hand you want a hosting service that comes with 24/7 human support staffed by hosting experts in the UK who will not only help you get up and running but be there to support you every step of the way, then read on.

Domains

GEN offers a full selection of over 1500 popular domain extensions, including .com,.net,.org,.edu,.gov,.io,.co.uk,.me,.us and many more. We can also provide more specialised domain names such as .onion and .gen. Our registration services are very secure and transferring domain ownership or registrar is not an automatic process but instead is reviewed manually by two humans, and calls are made, emails are sent to ensure that the request is legitimate.

There are no hidden fees or costs, and you can pay for up to 10 years of registration at one time if you prefer. Whois privacy comes as standard (unless you specifically don't want it). You can choose a domain name yourself at domains.gen.net.uk, or we can help you select the right one for your use case. If you request it, then we will automatically queue landrush registrations for new TLD's that are coming on stream.

Linux Hosting

Linux hosting is by far the best option for the majority of scenarios. Its faster and inherently more secure, and with a huge selection of open source software available it makes the most sense unless you specifically have a need that can only be hosted on windows.

Windows Hosting

Windows Hosting is available based on the latest Windows Server platforms and offering .NET support for anyone needing a windows environment.

Scalability

Because of how we handle our hosting customers, we are able to migrate your site in realtime between hosting clusters, which enables us to scale to meet whatever demand you may have. During the Pandemic one of our customers scaled from a few hundred visits per day to over 10,000 per minute and we had no problem handling this.

Shared and Dedicated

Up to now we're talking about shared hosting, that is, your website is hosted on a server with other websites. This is normal, and whilst we offer a wide range of platforms and languages, there may be times when your needs are so bespoke that we can't accommodate it within our shared hosting environment. In this case, dedicated hosting is the option where you have your own dedicated server.

WordPress

WordPress is the most popular CMS on the internet, and we offer a wide range of WordPress hosting options with varying levels of performance and support. Our staff are WordPress experts who can help you with setup, configuration and troubleshooting. If you're looking for a WordPress hosting service that won't just leave you with it, then ask for a quote.

Joomla

Joomla is another popular CMS on the internet, and we offer a wide range of Joomla hosting options with varying performance and support. Our staff are of course Joomla experts who can help you setup, configure and troubleshoot.

Maintenance

With any website, especially those based on a CMS like WordPress or Joomla, there is a need for continuous maintenance. This often includes updating plugins, applying security patches, updating themes and other front end changes, as well as migration between versions and of course backups. If your site was designed by GEN then maintenance is included in the price, but if not then we offer maintenance to anyone hosting on our service for a small charge. Contact us today for a quotation.

Recovery and Migration

If your website has experienced an issue, maybe it's been compromised or hacked, or you just want to move it to GEN, then we can help you get it back up and running quickly. At GEN our support staff are available 24/7 to help with this. You can raise a case at the HelpDesk or if your need is urgent, please consider our emergency support options.
