Our hosting philosophy

Three things that make Nexforum Web Hosting different.

Most web hosts are built around upsells, confusing tiers and hidden charges. We built Nexforum around the opposite idea — honest hosting that does what it says, includes what you need and never works against the people paying for it.

🫵
You own it. All of it.
Your website, your files, your database, your email — everything in your hosting account belongs to you. We provide the infrastructure; you keep total ownership and control. Export your data, move hosts or cancel any time. No permission required, no lock-in, no strings.
🚫
No ads. Ever. Guaranteed.
Nexforum will never inject advertisements into your website pages. Your visitors see your content — not sponsored posts, not retargeting pixels, not banner ads. This is unconditional and permanent. It's your site. It stays your site.
📋
One price. No surprises.
£0.99 a month covers everything on this page. No tiers to decode, no features locked behind a higher plan, no annual billing requirement, no price shock after your first year. One honest price, billed monthly, cancel any time.

What's included

Every feature. Every plan. No asterisks.

⚡
Storage

NVMe SSD — your website loads fast.

NVMe solid-state storage is three to five times faster than the SATA SSDs most budget hosts still use. Every file request, database query and page load on your website is served from the fastest storage available in shared hosting. Visitors notice. Search engines notice. Your bounce rate notices.

3–5× faster than traditional shared hosting storage
2GB included — plenty for most websites, blogs and small business sites
Database queries respond in milliseconds — critical for CMS-powered sites
Page speed improvements that benefit both users and SEO rankings
🌐
Bandwidth

Unlimited bandwidth — no throttling, no caps, no bills.

A post goes viral. A product launches. A campaign drives unexpected traffic. With most budget hosts, that's when the throttling kicks in or the overage invoice arrives. With Nexforum, none of that happens. Unlimited means unlimited — no hidden fair-use clauses, no peak-hour throttling, no surprise charges for being busy.

No traffic caps — ever, for any reason
No throttling during traffic spikes or popular content
No overage invoices regardless of how much traffic you receive
Your site keeps loading fast whether you have 10 visitors or 10,000
🔒
Security

Free SSL, auto-renewed — HTTPS from day one.

HTTPS is no longer optional. Browsers flag HTTP sites as insecure, Google factors it into search rankings and visitors simply don't trust sites without a padlock. A Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is provisioned for your domain automatically and renewed every 90 days without any action from you. Your site is secure from the moment it goes live.

Free Let's Encrypt SSL provisioned automatically on domain setup
Auto-renewed — no manual renewal, no expiry reminders, no extra fees
HTTPS required for browser trust signals and Google search ranking
Included at no cost — not an annual paid add-on
💾
Reliability

Daily backups — your website is always recoverable.

A botched plugin update. An accidental file deletion. A database error during a CMS migration. Things go wrong — even for careful website owners. Nexforum backs up your entire hosting environment daily so that when something goes wrong, it's a quick restoration rather than a catastrophe. No paid backup add-on required — it's just included.

Full environment backed up daily — files, database and configuration
Automated — no manual exports required from you
Fast restoration to a recent clean state when things go wrong
Included at no cost — not a paid hosting extra

Who it's for

Any website. Any purpose. One price.

Nexforum Web Hosting works for any kind of website — from a personal blog to a small business site to a community hub. If it runs on standard web technologies, it runs on Nexforum.

✍️
Blogs & Personal Sites
Run your own blog on WordPress, Ghost or a static site generator. Your content, your design, your domain — no platform taking a cut and no algorithm deciding who sees what you publish.
🏪
Small Business Websites
A professional web presence for your business on your own domain. No page builder subscription, no monthly platform fees — just fast, reliable hosting for the site your customers land on.
🛒
Online Shops
Install WooCommerce on WordPress or PrestaShop via Softaculous and run your online store on hosting you control. No revenue cut taken by your hosting provider — unlike hosted e-commerce platforms.
🎨
Portfolios & Creative Sites
Designers, photographers and creatives who want a proper portfolio at their own domain — not a portfolio locked inside a third-party platform that could change its pricing or disappear.
📰
News & Content Sites
Independent publications and content creators who need reliable, fast hosting for content-heavy sites without the eye-watering costs of managed WordPress hosting or media-focused platforms.
🌍
Communities & Groups
A home for your community that isn't Facebook — whether that's a simple website, a WordPress-powered membership site or a full forum using bbPress alongside your existing content.
🎓
Educational Sites
Course platforms, knowledge bases, documentation sites and e-learning tools all run comfortably on Nexforum hosting. Install Moodle or a WordPress LMS plugin via Softaculous in one click.
🔧
Developer Projects
PHP applications, testing environments, staging sites and side projects. DirectAdmin and full MySQL access give developers everything they need without the complexity and cost of a VPS.

Powered by Softaculous

500+ apps. One click each.

Softaculous is included with every Nexforum Web Hosting plan. It installs over 500 applications automatically — CMS platforms, e-commerce tools, blogs, wikis, frameworks and more — with database setup and configuration handled entirely without you touching a file.

What our customers say

Websites that moved to Nexforum.

★★★★★

"I was paying £9 a month at a big-name host for a WordPress site that loaded slowly. Moved to Nexforum during the free trial and the NVMe storage difference is immediate and obvious — my site loads in under a second now. Then it costs me 99p a month. I genuinely can't explain why I didn't do this sooner."

Stuart K.
Small business owner
★★★★★

"I've tried four different hosts over the years. Most have the same pattern — cheap year one, expensive from year two onwards. Nexforum is just 99p a month permanently. NVMe SSD, free SSL, backups included — the others were charging me extra for half of this. No contest."

Rachel M.
Food blogger
★★★★★

"The 30-day free trial with no card required meant I could move my entire WordPress site across, test everything thoroughly and only put my card details in once I was completely satisfied. The migration took about an hour. The hosting has been perfect since — fast, reliable, no nonsense."

Questions answered

Everything you need to know about Nexforum Web Hosting.

What's the difference between Nexforum Web Hosting and Nexforum Forum Hosting?
Functionally, the hosting infrastructure is the same — the same NVMe SSD storage, unlimited bandwidth, free SSL, daily backups and Softaculous on DirectAdmin. The difference is positioning and default use case. Forum Hosting is specifically marketed for online community platforms (phpBB, Flarum, SMF and so on). Web Hosting is for any website — blogs, business sites, e-commerce, portfolios or a combination. The plan is identical at £0.99/month and you can install forum software on a Web Hosting plan or run a general website on a Forum Hosting plan — both work perfectly well for both purposes.
Can I install WordPress on Nexforum Web Hosting?
Yes. WordPress is available via Softaculous and installs in one click with database and file setup handled automatically. Most of the 500+ applications in Softaculous run without issue on Nexforum Web Hosting — WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, Ghost, Moodle and hundreds more.
Is 2GB storage enough for a WordPress site?
For most websites, yes — comfortably. A standard WordPress installation uses around 50–100MB. A blog with several hundred posts and reasonable images typically stays well under 500MB. The main storage consumers are high-resolution image galleries, video files and e-commerce product photo libraries. If you're running a heavily media-rich site, you may approach the limit — contact us and we can discuss options.
Can I move my existing website to Nexforum?
Yes. You can migrate any PHP website to Nexforum by uploading your files via FTP or the file manager, exporting your database from your current host and importing it into Nexforum's MySQL. For WordPress sites, the All-in-One WP Migration plugin makes this a straightforward process. Your 30-day free trial gives you plenty of time to migrate and test before committing.
Do you support PHP and MySQL?
Yes. Nexforum Web Hosting supports PHP (multiple versions selectable from DirectAdmin) and MySQL databases. Most common PHP applications — WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Laravel, CodeIgniter and others — run without issue. FTP access, a web-based file manager, phpMyAdmin for database management and cron job support are all available.
Will Nexforum ever put ads on my website?
No — never. Nexforum will never inject advertisements into your website pages. Your visitors see only your content. This is unconditional and permanent — not a current policy that could change in a future terms update.
What happens after my 30-day free trial?
Your hosting continues running without interruption at £0.99/month, billed via Stripe. You'll receive a reminder before the trial ends. If you decide not to continue, cancel at any time from your ClientExec portal — no charges, no lock-in, no questions asked.

Also need a forum for your community?

Nexforum started as forum hosting — it's what we're built for. If you want to add a discussion community to your website, install bbPress on WordPress in one click, or check out our dedicated forum hosting pages for phpBB, Flarum, MyBB and more.
