Over the past couple of months, we have been moving web hosting and email to new servers. This is now complete, and all hosting clients are now able to benefit from this. All hosting accounts now carry the CloudHost.One™ branding, but are still supported directly by S6 Connect.

Previously sites were hosted on one of two servers – each with some limitations and quirks of their own if we're honest. All sites are now hosted on the 20i network, which offers several benefits and improvements including:

  • Fast UK-based SSD hosting
  • Data stored and replicated on multiple servers
  • Dynamic load balancing
  • On-demand autoscaling
  • Linux, WordPress or Windows hosting
  • 10GB Mailboxes as standard
  • Free DNS-based SSL certificates
  • Unlimited Bandwidth
  • Additional WordPress management tools
  • New Hosting Control Panel
  • Native WordPress caching service
  • IPv6 and HTTP/2 support

We have also replaced the billing platform and reduced the volume of emails sent at renewal.
The billing and hosting control panels can both be accessed at https://control.cloudhost.one

Webmail has also been improved and can be accessed via webmail.cloudhost.one

WordPress-optimised hosting is £9.50 a month for users who are happy to mostly self-manage their site, but our Basic ManagedWP service at £30 a month is the most popular and includes regular updates, backups and access to additional themes and plugins. Other plans and options are available to suit your needs and budget.

All accounts are now setup on the new platform and login details have been sent to all users. If you have not received this, or have any questions you can email support@s6connect.com or call 033 3340 3380, ext. 201 – our phone systems have also been updated.

We are currently trialling some additional services to reduce comment and form submission ‘spam' on WordPress sites, and to further enhance site security. If you are interested in trying this, please let us know: we hope to be able to offer this to all accounts shortly.
