Autoscaling:
Access to as many servers as your site needs
All our web hosting services use SunlightHost’s proprietary autoscaling technology. No other company has access to this.
Autoscaling literally means that our resources scale automatically. Bandwidth, memory and processing power is scaled up or down instantly – depending on demand. This is what makes them true ‘elastic cloud’. If there’s a surge in traffic, your website will continue to offer the same fast experience for every user.
This is because a site isn’t hosted on one or two servers. Instead, it can access the whole platform’s resources: multiple servers. It’s what makes the SunlightHost platform special.
If there’s a spike in demand and your shared hosting ‘neighbours’ become busy, it doesn’t affect your site speed. Busy sites are isolated from others.
Automatic Timeline Backups & Restore
At our hosting service, we prioritize the safety and accessibility of your data. Our state-of-the-art timeline backups, provided free with our hosting plans, are considered top-tier in the industry. Automatic daily backups of your website files and database ensure consistent protection and accessibility.
With our user-friendly interface, rolling back to any specific date is effortless with just a single click. Whether you need to undo recent changes or revert to an older version, our backup system makes it quick and simple. We believe in empowering you with the tools to maintain control over your website’s history, ensuring smooth operations and peace of mind for you and your business.
Restore Individual Folders & Files
At our hosting service, we provide comprehensive automated backup solutions tailored to your needs. Every day, individual folders and files are backed up seamlessly, ensuring the safety and security of your valuable data.
Our intuitive interface grants you effortless access to the entire history of your files and folders, empowering you to restore them to any desired date or version with just a single click. With this robust feature set, your data remains safeguarded and easily recoverable, granting you unparalleled control and peace of mind for uninterrupted operations.
Free and Unlimited CDN
Introducing our revolutionary CDN service, a game-changer in website optimization. Unlike other providers, we offer a fully-featured, global CDN that is not only powerful but also unlimited, ensuring lightning-fast loading times no matter where your audience is located.
Comparing our CDN to Cloudflare reveals the stark difference in performance and value. While Cloudflare is undeniably a prominent player in the CDN market, our solution surpasses it in both capability and accessibility. With no restrictions on usage or geographical reach, our CDN ensures that your website loads quickly and reliably for every visitor, regardless of their location.
Compress code and images, automatically
We created the Website Acceleration Suite as a way to get all sites to load faster. This is better for your users, and good for SEO: we know how much importance Google attaches to web page loading speed.
So our Suite optimises the things you might get warned-about in page speed scoring. Images are resized and compressed, and HTML, CSS and JavaScript is minified. That’s not all: there are over 40 performance-boosting features that you can use to fine-tune your website.
We also made a safe ‘one-click’ option for those who don’t have the time or inclination to get too technical. Toggle it on, and you’ll see immediate, dramatic improvements.
Global CDN locations
Fast loading websites
Our global network will edge-cache full pages close to where the user is based. It works with our StackCache WordPress module – no plugins required
Strong protection
Load balancing that does more
Load balancing is about sharing traffic across servers. Other web hosts use load balancing – but not the kind we’ve developed. Their load balancing mitigates failover: if a server goes down, your site will be moved to another, so it stays online.
It’s a kind of disaster recovery. That’s expected: we offer that kind of server redundancy as well, even though we use some of the best hardware in the industry – thanks to our long-term partners at Dell – and a robust 10 Gb network.
But SunlightHost load balancing is of a different calibre.
Our global load balancing makes use of monitors that will respond to traffic load and balance it across multiple servers when needed. Many other providers don’t offer this. The consequence for you is this: with SunlightHost, your site stays online, and remains fast, whatever load the servers are under.
Google-based DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names – and email addresses – into IP addresses. So when you visit a URL, your browser knows the address of the server to download the page from. It’s an essential part of the internet – so it needs to be fast.
Google knows all about fast internet response times – as you’d expect! Their global fibre network leads the industry. It provides a quick and stable response regardless of traffic. So we built our DNS platform on the same infrastructure as Google.
All domains hosted with us benefit from Google DNS.
Free one-click website software
One Click Installers will make your job easier. You can choose from 80+ popular free apps that will enhance your website, whether your site is a shop, a blog, a forum or anything else. Install them in seconds!
The installation of a web application like WordPress, Prestashop, Joomla, Magento etc… becomes really easy. Fill in some details, make a few clicks, and it handles the rest.
Stay a step ahead of online criminals with SunlightHost, at no extra cost.
Enterprise level website security built-in
Security breaches and exposure to malware are an ever-present threat on today’s web. Our secure hosting keeps you safe against harmful web attacks. We give you the tools to help you save time, money and your reputation. We don’t think that you should be charged for these services.
Automatic malware scanning
We scan all websites on our WordPress, Windows and Linux shared hosting platforms every day for common malware. Using commercial tools and systems developed in-house, we discover all sorts of nasties. Malware – such as web shells or mail/spam daemons – can compromise your installation, giving criminals access to your site’s data, email and content.
We give you a detailed report on the results of this scan in our SunlightHost control panel. This is similar to services provided by some other web hosts – which they charge a premium for!
Should malware be discovered, we can send you an email alert.
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.
If you’ve discovered malware on your site, you’ll need to update the software or plugins, and delete any compromised files. Once you’ve made the changes, you can re-scan right away. You’ll get confirmation on whether your fixes have worked immediately.
Free wildcard SSL encryption
SSL-TLS certificates are an integral part of secure web browsing and data transfer. Legal regulations and promotion by Google have made it essential that every site should have one. So we partner with Let’s Encrypt to make every site we host an ‘https’ one.
Our free SSLs are ‘wildcard’ certificates. So you can secure subdomains as well as your primary domain using one certificate. To get a free ‘https’ certificate your site needs to use the validated SunlightHost nameservers. They provide the same level of security as any other SSL certificate.
Enterprise-level denial of service protection: 1 TBPS+ ANTI-DDOS
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are a growing hazard on the web. They can do extensive damage to a business by flooding the server with requests, so that regular website users are unable to access your website.
If your shared hosting or virtual private server (VPS) is attacked, usually you don’t have much of a choice other than to weather the storm and wait for the attack to stop.
That’s why we introduced 1 Tbps+ anti-DDoS protection. This enterprise-level protection covers you against most attacks. It only filters-out malicious traffic, so you can carry on working without noticing any interruption. Don’t let the hackers ruin your business.
Brute-force login protection
A common attack vector for cyber criminals is to use brute force to guess your website’s ‘admin’ password. These are applications that cycle through common passwords and use trial and error – random letters and numbers – to try to crack your credentials.
Our platform includes StackProtect, which monitors log-in attempts to your website. It checks for potential ‘evil’ automated requests. If they’re detected, it uses Google’s latest reCAPTCHA tools and if necessary, blocks those attempts.
This also stops our platform being slowed-down. It blocks up to six million requests – every day. Logins to our WordPress hosting platform are our most popular target, but SunlightHost Protect covers all common website logins.
Keeping attackers away from your web apps
As well as the firewall, we also operate network defences. These are based on IP address and network-level (automated system) level reputation. They’re designed to block likely attackers before an attack starts.
Suspicious IP addresses and networks are routed to different web servers automatically, so traffic and load is kept away from standard web servers. IP addresses that have a bad reputation are blocked at the network edge, and entire ranges of IP addresses can be blocked too.
Strong external protections
One way to stop security breaches is to prevent criminals getting access to your code on the server. Our Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects your data and software by blocking suspicious activity.
A common attack on a website is to use web forms to insert malicious code. Forms aren’t covered by traditional firewalls, as they need to allow information to pass from the user to the server where the website is hosted. They can be an access point for data thieves or ransomware.
Even in the best-case scenario, being a victim of this will cost your business time and money. Worst case: a breach could end your company.
The SunlightHost WAF helps prevent this by inspecting every HTTP request for SQL injection, trojans, cross-site scripting, path traversal and many other types of attack. It does this at the edge our network, so it happens before any scripts from web apps like WordPress execute. It takes less than a millisecond.
TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION : Safer than just a password
Unfortunately many security measures are rendered ineffective if your password is compromised. So we offer the option to use two-factor authentication (2FA) for Client area, Control Panel and SSH access.
2FA is a way to add an extra layer of security. Our 2FA uses TOTP apps, which provide you with a time-sensitive single-use code to enter as well your password. 2FA app providers include Google and Microsoft. The apps are run from your phone.
We also enforce another form of ‘2FA’: random security checks when payments are made. This will require you to call us and confirm additional security information provided by yourself when first signing-up.
Frequently asked questions
Can I upgrade my web hosting at any time?
What if my web sites have high traffic?
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’.
What is SSD Web Hosting?
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.
What security features do you offer?
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.
Does your service offer automatic backups?
Do you include protection from viruses?
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.
How much do your charge for website migration?

It’s simple, we don’t place any limits on our unlimited hosting package.
