Hosting, Security & Domain Agency — Manchester & UK

Hosting, Security & Domain

AsOne is a Manchester hosting agency providing fully managed hosting, security, and domain management for businesses that cannot afford downtime. We work predominantly in healthcare and manufacturing — sectors where an offline site means lost revenue, broken trust, or a compliance problem.

This is not a self-service package. It is a managed service run by the same agency that builds the sites we host — operating since 2008, hosting over 200 live websites. We handle every technical layer: server configuration, daily backups, SSL certificates, malware scanning, Cloudflare performance and security, and domain renewals — so your team never has to.

What Fully Managed Actually Means

Most hosting providers hand you server access and leave the rest to you. cPanel. DNS propagation. Security patches. Plugin conflicts. Performance monitoring.

AsOne's managed hosting service works differently. We own the infrastructure side entirely. You never log into a server environment.

The result is a hosting and security arrangement that requires nothing from your team and creates no technical exposure.

Hosting Options for Every Stage of Growth

AsOne provisions the right hosting environment for your business size, traffic volume, and technical requirements. All options are fully managed.

Shared Cloud Hosting

Suitable for small businesses, brochure sites, and early-stage brands with predictable, lower-volume traffic. Cost-efficient without sacrificing speed or security.

Dedicated Cloud Hosting

Scalable infrastructure that responds to traffic spikes in real time. The right choice for businesses where peak periods — promotions, product launches, and seasonal demand — drive unpredictable surges.

Dedicated Servers

Maximum performance and full resource allocation for high-traffic sites, custom applications, and enterprise-scale digital environments. Configured to your exact requirements.

Managed WordPress Hosting

Environments built and optimised specifically for WordPress. Includes WordPress-specific caching, plugin compatibility management, and performance tuning — particularly relevant for businesses running WooCommerce or content-heavy WordPress builds.

Website Security Services

A website without active security monitoring is an unguarded asset. For businesses in regulated sectors — healthcare, manufacturing, ecommerce — the risk of a breach extends beyond operational disruption into compliance and reputational territory.

AsOne's security layer runs across Cloudflare, server-level infrastructure, and application-level tools — actively managed, not dependent on automated defaults alone.

SSL Certificate Management

Every site AsOne hosts carries a valid, up-to-date SSL certificate. We install, configure, and renew certificates as required. HTTPS is maintained at all times — a security baseline and a confirmed Google ranking signal.

Malware Scanning and Removal

Malware scanning runs daily across server, Cloudflare, and application layers — including Wordfence for WordPress environments. Where infections are identified, we manage removal and restore your site to a clean state from backup.

DDoS Protection

DDoS mitigation is active at both the network and application layers, delivered through Cloudflare and our hosting infrastructure. This provides protection against volumetric attacks before they reach your server.

Web Application Firewall

WAF rules are managed across Cloudflare and Wordfence, filtering malicious traffic and blocking known attack vectors. Combined with active intrusion monitoring, this creates a layered protective barrier around your site and its data.

Automated Daily Backups

Daily backups are taken automatically and stored securely off-server. In the event of data loss, corruption, or a confirmed attack, we can restore your site to a recent clean state quickly. Standard plans retain 7 days; dedicated environments retain 30 days.

Security Patch Management

Server-side software, CMS core files, and security dependencies require regular updates to close vulnerabilities. We apply these on a managed schedule — your site is never exposed by outdated infrastructure.

Security Incident Response

In the event of a confirmed security incident, AsOne responds within 30 minutes during working hours. For enterprise environments, extended support coverage is available until 9pm. Our response begins before you raise a ticket.

Domain Management
One Less Thing to Think About

Domain registration and renewal sounds simple until it is not. Expired domains, incorrect DNS configuration, or registrar errors can take a site offline instantly — and recovering a lost domain can be costly and slow.

AsOne manages your domain as part of the wider hosting and security service. There are no management fees beyond the annual renewal cost, and domain transfers to AsOne management are completed within 24 hours upon request.

Why Hosting Affects More Than Just Availability

Hosting is an infrastructure decision with downstream effects on search performance, user experience, and conversion. Understanding what is at stake clarifies the cost of poor hosting choices.

Site Speed and Core Web Vitals

Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor.

Hosting quality, server response time, geographic proximity to your audience, and infrastructure specification directly influence how your site scores.

UK-based servers reduce latency for UK visitors. Every AsOne-hosted site also benefits from Cloudflare's global CDN, reducing load times for visitors outside the immediate server region.

Uptime and Business Continuity

Every hour of downtime carries a measurable cost.

For ecommerce businesses, that cost is direct lost revenue. For service businesses, it is missed leads and damaged credibility.

AsOne targets 99.99% uptime across all managed hosting environments, with proactive monitoring that identifies and resolves issues before clients are affected.

GDPR and Data Residency

For UK and EU businesses, hosting on UK-based servers supports GDPR data residency compliance.

Customer data processed and stored on UK infrastructure carries fewer cross-border transfer obligations than data hosted outside the UK or EEA, a relevant consideration for healthcare, finance, and other regulated-sector clients.

Not Sure What Your Current Hosting Is Actually Doing?

We will review your existing setup, hosting, domain, SSL, security, and performance and tell you plainly what is working, what is exposed, and what a managed arrangement would change. No obligation.

Who This Service Is For

We handle the technical migration, DNS transition, and testing. Most migrations are complete within a working day.

Businesses Built by AsOne

For clients whose website is developed by AsOne, managed hosting is the natural continuation of that relationship.
Infrastructure is configured specifically for the build from day one, avoiding the mismatches that occur when a site built by one provider is hosted by another.

Healthcare and Manufacturing Businesses

Businesses in sectors where uptime, data security, and compliance carry additional weight benefit from a managed approach with documented security processes.
AsOne works with NHS trusts and healthcare providers where ICO compliance reporting is an active requirement.

Ecommerce and High-Traffic Environments

Why Work with AsOne for Hosting and Security

AsOne has operated as a Manchester-based digital agency since 2008. The businesses we host range from local SMEs to sector-specific enterprises in healthcare and manufacturing.

Our hosting service is not a resold commodity product — it is a managed service delivered by the same team that builds, maintains, and evolves the sites we host. We currently host over 200 live websites.

UK-Based Team, UK-Based Infrastructure

Our support team and server infrastructure are based in the UK. No offshore call centres, no generic ticket systems, no routing of support queries through third parties. When something needs attention, it is handled by the team that knows your site.

One Agency, Full Ownership

When your hosting, security, domain, and website are all managed by the same agency, accountability is clear. No conflicting parties to coordinate. No finger-pointing between your developer and your hosting provider. No gaps in technical responsibility.

Longevity matters in managed services. AsOne has been operating since April 2008 — 18 years as a Manchester hosting agency — which means clients benefit from a stable team, a proven infrastructure track record, and no risk of a startup-style exit.

FAQ

Questions we are usually asked

contact us

Fully managed hosting means AsOne handles all server configuration, security patching, performance monitoring, daily backups, SSL certificate management, malware scanning, and Cloudflare CDN and security configuration. You do not need to access a server dashboard or manage any technical settings. We monitor and maintain your hosting environment continuously.

For UK-based businesses targeting UK users, hosting on UK servers reduces server response time and improves load speed for your primary audience. Server location is not a direct ranking factor, but site speed — directly influenced by hosting quality and geographic proximity — is a confirmed Core Web Vitals signal. Every AsOne-hosted site also benefits from Cloudflare's CDN, which improves performance globally.

Shared cloud hosting means multiple sites share the same server resources — cost-efficient for smaller, lower-traffic sites. Dedicated cloud and dedicated server environments allocate resources exclusively to your site — the right choice as traffic, functionality, or compliance requirements grow. AsOne fully manages all tiers, so the underlying infrastructure type does not affect the level of service you receive.

Yes. AsOne manages the full migration process including site file transfer, database migration, DNS transition, and testing. Migrations are planned to minimise downtime and are typically complete within a single working day. Migration is carried out at no additional charge.

Yes. Domains under AsOne management are set to renew automatically — your business is not affected if you do not respond to renewal notifications. If you need to reclaim your domain, we transfer ownership within 24 hours upon request.

All managed hosting plans include SSL certificate management, daily malware scanning (server-level, Cloudflare, and Wordfence for WordPress), DDoS protection at network and application layers, web application firewall management, automated daily backups, and server-side security patch management. For a confirmed security incident, AsOne responds within 30 minutes during working hours.

AsOne's managed hosting plans start from £41.66 per month (billed annually at £500 per year) for smaller sites. Dedicated cloud plans start from £500 per month. Enterprise and dedicated server configurations are priced on request. All plans are on a 12-month minimum term.

AsOne monitors hosted sites for uptime and performance continuously. In the event of downtime, our team is alerted and investigates without waiting for a client to raise a support request. For business-critical environments, we target the fastest possible resolution based on the nature of the issue.

No. AsOne can register new domains and manage the full domain lifecycle — registration, renewals, DNS configuration, and transfers — as part of the hosting service. There are no management fees; only the standard annual renewal cost applies.

AsOne can host and manage any website — not only those we built. If you have an existing site on poor-quality hosting, we can migrate you to our managed environment and take on the ongoing infrastructure responsibility.
