We can assist with restoration using these backups; however, Ayup Creative accepts no liability for any data loss or if backups do not contain the specific data or configurations the customer wishes to restore. Customers are strongly encouraged to maintain their own regular backups. For more information please review our Web Hosting Terms and Conditions.

Is our hosting right for you?

Not all hosting packages are created equal. Here’s how hosting with Ayup Creative compares to another agency provider.

Not ideal if…

Perfect for you if…


You’re a developer who wants full root access to tweak everything (our hosting is designed for managed care)

vs

You want hosting and website support under one roof

Keep everything in one place so updates, fixes, and support are handled smoothly – no juggling multiple providers.

You want the absolute rock‑bottom price regardless of support or performance

vs

You’re fed up with being passed between host and developer

We take care of both sides, so you always know who to contact and who’s fixing the problem.

Your project needs full enterprise‑grade 24/7 SLA (bespoke solutions may be better here)

vs

Your site is for a UK audience and you care about speed and reliability

Our servers are UK‑based and optimised for fast, dependable performance for your visitors.

You only need one-off hosting and support rather than ongoing care and oversight

vs

You prefer straight‑talking, Yorkshire‑style support rather than ticket ping‑pong

No jargon or automated responses – just clear, honest help when you need it.

Have a quick chat with us and we’ll tell you straight if this is right for you.

How migration works

Quick review and plan

We take a look at your current hosting setup, website, platform, and email setup so we know what’s involved.

Copy your site across

We create a copy of your site on our servers, away from the public, and check that everything works.

Test on our side

We test key pages, forms, and functions on our environment and fix any obvious issues.

Schedule the switch

We pick a quiet time (often evenings/early mornings) to change your DNS so visitors start hitting the new server.

Monitor after go-live

We keep an eye on things as DNS propagates and handle any teething issues.

Hand over details

You get clear information on how everything is now set up; we remain your first point of contact.

Website hosting – questions answered

You’re bound to have questions, so we’ve shared some of the ones we get asked most often. Of corse if your question isn’t here, get in touch and we’ll be sure to help clear anything up!

Can you host a site you didn’t build?

Yes. As long as we can get a clean copy or access to your current host, we can usually migrate it. If we spot anything unusual, we’ll discuss it with you before moving.

What about SSL certificates?

All hosting plans typically use Let’s Encrypt SSL (auto‑renewing). However, we can always use dedicated or EV certificates if required.

Do you offer email hosting too?

We can help manage email as part of your setup and often recommend pairing website hosting with dedicated email services like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for reliability.

What if my site gets a traffic spike?

On Dedicated plans we have more headroom and can advise you if we expect regular spikes – and discuss scaling options if needed.

Do you offer backups?

Yes. All plans include automated daily backups, with longer retention on higher plans. Dedicated hosting adds more frequent backups and longer history.

Can you help with domains and DNS?

Absolutely. Domains, DNS records, redirects, MX records – all the stuff that usually makes people nervous – we handle it routinely.

Is there a minimum term?

Standard hosting is billed monthly, with a 30‑day notice period. Dedicated hosting can have a minimum term, depending on requirements. Annual billing can be arranged if preferred.

Fancy a chat about your hosting?

If your current hosting feels slow, unreliable or just a bit of a mystery, it might be time for a change.

Pop your details in here and we’ll give you a bell. No pressure, no jargon – just honest advice on whether moving to us makes sense and which plan fits your site.

Feel free to include any additional notes, questions, or extra requirements with your enquiry and we’ll do our best to have answers ready by the time we reach out.
