3-year cost = intro price for the promo period, then renewal, on the entry plan (if the intro price needs a longer term paid upfront, the whole upfront payment counts), with VAT at 20% added where the host quotes ex VAT (switch above). Yes means verified on the provider's own site; "Self-declared" means the host says so but we couldn't confirm it; "Not stated" means the pages we checked don't say. The score is our overall score, not a guide score. Buttons are affiliate links (disclosure). Data verified 2026-11-01; always check the provider's page before buying.

Web hosting UK: quick answers

What is the best web hosting in the UK?
On our published overall score (renewal and intro price inc VAT, Trustpilot, support, features and UK data centre), WebHosting UK ranks first at 8.6/10, followed by eukhost and Fasthosts. The best host for you depends on what you need, which is why we also publish guides for WordPress, small business, cheap hosting and more.
What is the cheapest web hosting in the UK?
The lowest intro price we track is Fasthosts Start at £1/mo for 3mo (ex VAT). Over three years including renewals and VAT, the cheapest entry plan is Hostinger Single at about £86.
Are UK web hosting prices shown with VAT?
Usually not: most hosts we track quote prices excluding VAT, and VAT at 20% is added at checkout for UK customers. We label every price ex or inc VAT as published and let you switch the comparison table to inc-VAT figures.
Why does the renewal price matter more than the intro price?
Intro prices typically last 3 to 48 months; after that you pay the renewal price for as long as you stay. A plan that's cheap for year one can cost more over three years than a plan with a flat price, so our scores weight renewal price more than intro price.
Do I need a UK data centre?
Not strictly, but a UK server location can mean lower latency for UK visitors and keeps data in the UK. Of the 11 hosts we track, we've verified a UK data centre (or selectable UK location) for 8.
