Blazing fast Web Hosting

We host some of the busiest sites in the world – so you won’t have any worries there! Our self-built platform grows with your website and business. It ‘autoscales’ – meaning that even if your site receives a sudden spike in traffic, it will be able to handle it.

The magic comes from our load-balancers. They’re constantly monitoring all requests to our network. When a website receives a large number of hits it’s quickly isolated and moved to its own dedicated backend. This keeps your business running quickly at the most critical of times, but also means that your neighbours on our shared hosting aren’t affected by your spikes in traffic. We call these spikes the ‘Dragons’ Den Effect’.

SSD stands for ‘Solid State Disk’: a form of storage that doesn’t have any moving parts.

Traditionally, the hosting industry has used HDD (Hard Disk Drive) for its storage solutions, which does have moving parts. In fact, a lot of hosts still use them.

Because SSD drives don’t have any moving parts SSD hosting can process information much quicker than their HDD counterparts and are much more reliable.

Some hosts try to save money by only using SSD hosting for their cache. This lets them advertise that they use SSD, when in fact if someone visits an uncached page they hit the much slower HDD drive.

At SunlightHost all our customers are hosted using the latest top-spec Samsung SSD drives. It’s one of the reasons why we’re a fast web host.

We don’t believe in charging you extra for security. Full protection is included in every Hostung package at no extra charge.

Your site is scanned for malware daily, and we’ll help if anything suspicious is revealed. You can also scan on-demand. 

We operate a robust Web Application Firewall to prevent hackers inserting code in to your site, and StackProtect covers you against brute-force login attacks. You get a free SSL to cover the data that your users enter, and 1 Tbs+ DDoS protection. Two-factor authentication is included and we even give you a strong password generator. We also scan and filter your emails, and our data centres are Payment Card Industry compliant.

Although our hosting includes the most comprehensive security package available, a web host can’t cover you against every security threat out there. 

We scan all websites on our WordPress, Windows and Linux shared hosting platforms every day for common malware.

What makes our malware scanning special is that you can also run our scanner on-demand. This is convenient because you don’t have to wait until the next scheduled scan.
