Invite-only beta · 10 places · Managed hosting on AWS

AceMedia HostRequest invite

Managed web hosting, properly looked after.

Fully managed hosting on AWS for sites, apps, shops and WordPress. We tune, deploy, cache, back up and watch it for you.

WHAT YOU GET

What we help with.

A considered move

Start fresh or bring an existing site. We can deploy from Git, take an agreed SSH/SFTP or FTP handover, or use our WordPress importer, then test the new copy before changing your domain. Guided customer dashboard tools are planned, but not live yet. How a move works →

Media that travels well

Where suitable, images can use CDN-backed storage so your website is less tied to one server disk.

Direct support

You can ask the person who develops and operates the platform when something needs attention.

Room to grow

We agree storage, traffic and support needs before your site joins the beta.

BETA OFFER

Three years free for accepted beta sites.

We’re inviting ten thoughtful projects into the first beta group so we can test the service together before opening more widely. Accepted sites receive three years of hosting for the site and resource allowance agreed in writing. There is no card, automatic payment or automatic paid conversion. Any future plan would be discussed before a charge applies.

  • Invite-only, with a choice of guided onboarding routes.
  • Custom quotes for needs outside the agreed allowance.
  • Modern sites, apps, shops and WordPress all welcome.

WHAT WE AGREE

The free term has a clear shape.

We will describe the accepted site, resources and support in writing before onboarding. The allowance may cover storage, traffic and the operational work that fits the site; we will not ask you to guess which limits apply. If you need more resources or a change of scope, we will discuss the options before work or charges begin.

Domain registration, existing email services, content updates and bespoke development can stay separate from hosting. We will identify those responsibilities early, so a website move does not quietly become an email or domain move. Read the beta questions →

THE PLATFORM BEHIND IT

Thoughtful layers, chosen for your site.

AceHost is our actively developed hosting platform and operator dashboard. We use it for AceMedia sites today; the customer portal is still being tested for the invite-only beta.

Delivery

Cloudflare and CDN-backed media can help suitable public assets travel well. We configure the right path; a CDN is not automatically added to every site.

Caching

Page caching and Redis/Valkey can reduce repeat work where the application benefits, with rules that protect fresh and private content.

Data

Some AceMedia sites use managed AWS RDS databases. A new site gets the data setup that makes sense for its size and needs.

Operations

Our operator dashboard brings deployment, site health and infrastructure work into one place. Customer-facing access follows only after isolation testing.

A FASTER PATH

Let the right layer do the work.

Good performance is a series of small, sensible choices. We look at the site, its visitors and its media, then decide what can be served closer to them.

Illustrative architecture, not a speed benchmark. Your setup is agreed and measured for your site.

LET’S TALK

Tell us about your site.

We’ll review what you need and give you a clear answer about fit, scope and the next step.

UNDER THE BONNET

What every site sits on.

  • Amazon Web Services in London: EC2, managed RDS databases, and S3 with CloudFront for media.
  • nginx and PHP 8.4, with a PHP-FPM pool per site.
  • Cloudflare at the edge, plus our own Redis page cache, Varnish and OPcache where they help.
  • Git-aware deploys with atomic release switches and one-click rollback.
  • Versioned media with daily AWS Backup copies, and deploy history archived to S3.
