We have maintained ourselves as a leader in the Web hosting industry by keeping to that original goal providing the best technology available with exceptional customer support. The work ethic and integrity that established our business has paid off with many industry awards and happy customers.

With a large client base comes a diverse range of Web hosting requirements. We have tailored our company around these needs by providing flexible and scalable services. These services include Shared Web Hosting, Cloud Hosting, Dedicated Servers, Reseller Hosting, Domain Registration, E-commerce Tools, Web design, and Merchant Account solutions.

In 2008 the UK2 Group, a large worldwide Web hosting provider, expanded its global presence with the acquisition of WestHost. By leveraging the combined power of multiple hosting companies under the UK2 Group umbrella, we are able to provide our customers with an exceptional Web experience at affordable rates.

Our efforts and focus are always directed to our clients and their needs. We will continue to maintain ourselves as a low-cost, complete Web hosting provider, while maintaining a solid infrastructure, secure environment, unfailing and redundant connection, and superior 24/7 client support.

Why Cloud Hosting

It's simple. A Cloud is a number of dedicated servers tethered together to make one mass of high power computing resources. Virtually, the processing power of the Cloud is unlimited because we can add servers and resources to the Cloud as often as necessary.

WestHost offers a cost-efficient solution for sites that need more juice without limitations.
Fully Dedicated Resources

Nothing makes content more irrelevant than inaccessibility. It only takes a few seconds on the front page of Digg to bring a normal server to its knees. Our Cloud virtual private servers are fully dedicated, giving you the resources you need for greater performance, and reliability.

Traditional hosting environments, although very reliable and cost effective, can be affected by other site processes, scripts, or activities from others sharing the same server. Think of it like you're a resident of an apartment complex with everyone living in the same building and sharing the same resources like electricity, gas, and water. That is why the industry calls it shared hosting. With Cloud hosting YOU have exclusive access to your virtual private server.

We've got your back when your site grows with instant and seamless upgrades.

Self Healing with Automatic Failover

Our VPS Cloud architecture is designed from the ground up with redundancy at its core. A traditional server always has a single point of failure; a hard drive, a power supply, a power outage, etc. Our virtual private server Cloud uses a RAID 10 SAN system, powered by Cisco network hardware, allowing virtual machines to be moved to a new location on the Cloud in the event of a failure.
High Speed Deployment

Don't let your web host dictate your deployment schedule. From conception to execution, your Cloud is ready to use in under five minutes. Stop twiddling your thumbs and start developing.
Powerful Xen and Linux technology

The Xen hypervisor is the most powerful virtualization technique on the market; don't get caught up with virtualization gimmicks that pool bandwidth, CPU and RAM. With true resource segmentation, Xen provides consistent performance all day, every day.
No Domain Limitations

Cloud hosting provides a cost effective and friendly solution to multiple domain hosting. You can host a virtually unlimited number of domains on a single Cloud VPS. With our server management software, it's easy to create, manage and delete accounts whenever you want, and all from one interface.

If you are considering hosting numerous sites, have high traffic site, a data sensitive site or simply want more power and control, it's time to move to Cloud hosting. Despite the cost differences, a Cloud hosting VPS is the best solution for those that are serious about their website and want the assurance that hardware, software and resources are dedicated exclusively to them.

Why Dedicated Servers
Increased Reliability

Are you ready to get rid of the roommates? We've got your back with our dedicated hosting solution. You'll have the freedom and flexibility to grow without being affected by other sites on the same server. Shared hosting environments, although very reliable and cost effective, can be affected by other site processes, scripts or activities from others sharing the same machine; think of it like you're a resident of an apartment complex; all of you live in the same building, share the same resources like electricity, gas, and water. Shared hosting is a lot like that. With a dedicated server YOU have exclusive control and access to that machine.

Greater Performance

Because you are the only one on your server and enjoy autonomy, you can expect a higher level of performance and greater computing capacity. Dedicated servers will increase your processing speed and reduce page load time, allowing for faster access to your site than with any type of shared web hosting. In other words, you are the builder of the apartment building and have full control to decide how many apartments and how to split the resources resulting in more security.
Added Security

With shared web hosting, permissions are set up to restrict users from your directories and files. However, dedicated servers provide an extra layer of protection where you, and only you, have access to your machine and can severely restrict access to your server from the outside world.
Multiple Domains

Dedicated hosting provides a cost effective and management friendly solution to multiple domain hosting. Rather than dealing with the burden of numerous accounts on shared hosting servers, you can host a virtually unlimited number of domains on a single dedicated server. With our server management software, it's easy to create, manage and delete accounts whenever you want, and all from one interface.
Managed vs. Unmanaged Hosting

With traditional unmanaged dedicated servers, there is a large amount of time and technical expertise required, as you are ultimately responsible for the installation and management of the server. WestHost's managed dedicated servers eliminate the need for expertise in server administration, as powerful and intuitive tools for administering the setup and maintenance of websites, email, and domains are available instantly. Updates and patches to software are our responsibility, not yours, yet you still retain administrative control as the only client on the server. So unless you have extensive server administration resources or expertise, as well as a significant amount of time available to take care of your server, a Managed Dedicated Server is your best option at WestHost.

If you are considering hosting numerous sites, have a high traffic site, data sensitive site or simply want more power and control, it's time to consider a dedicated server. Despite the cost differences, a dedicated server is the best solution for those that are serious about their website and want the assurance that hardware, software and resources are dedicated exclusively to them.
