Managed web hosting that
runs without theatre

The monthly prices on this page are the actual prices, no first-year promotional rates that auto-renew higher. Plans run from €12 per month for 0.5 GB to €75 per month for 20 GB. What sits on top of the base price: domain registration if you don’t have one yet (typical €18 to €28 per year depending on TLD), additional email accounts beyond what each plan includes, additional cPanel resources if your site outgrows the plan, and any custom configuration work billed at €60 to €65 per hour. Migration in from another host is included on annual plans. Most websites fit comfortably in the €20 to €43 per month tiers, with the larger plans suited to media-heavy sites, multi-site setups, or higher-traffic stores. Our pricing page covers the broader rate structure for related work.

Standard cPanel-to-cPanel migration is straightforward and typically included free on annual hosting plans. Five steps. First, we set up your account on our infrastructure and provide test access. Second, we copy all site files, databases, email accounts, and DNS records using cPanel’s built-in transfer tools (typically completes within hours). Third, we test the site on the new server using a temporary URL before any DNS change. Fourth, you (or we, depending on who manages your DNS) update the nameservers to point at the new host, which takes 24 to 48 hours to propagate globally. Fifth, we monitor the first 48 hours after switchover for any issues and address them. Migration from non-cPanel hosts (managed WordPress hosts like WP Engine, Kinsta, or Pantheon, or from Plesk, or from custom server setups) takes longer because the migration requires more manual translation between systems. Typical timeline 2 to 5 business days for cPanel migrations, 1 to 2 weeks for complex migrations from other platforms.

Up to 8 automated backups per day, stored on separate infrastructure from the live server (so a server-level issue doesn’t take backups with it). Retention typically 7 to 30 days depending on the plan tier. Backups capture: full cPanel account state (files, databases, email accounts, DNS zones, SSL certificates), incremental snapshots between full backups, plus database-only snapshots more frequently for high-write sites. Restoration: file-level restoration (recover a single file or folder) happens through the cPanel interface within minutes. Database-level restoration (roll back to a specific point in time) handled by our team on request, typically within 1 to 4 hours during business hours. Full account restoration after a disaster scenario typically within 2 to 8 hours. Off-site backup to your own storage (S3, Google Drive, or similar) is configurable as an add-on for clients with stricter disaster recovery requirements.

Three scaling paths. First, upgrade within managed hosting: move from a smaller plan to a larger one on the same infrastructure. Same server, more resources allocated, typically completes within an hour without downtime. Suitable for most growth scenarios up to the 20 GB plan. Second, move to managed VPS: when shared resources are consistently hitting limits (CPU spikes during traffic peaks, database contention, memory pressure), the next step is a dedicated VPS where you have isolated resources rather than shared allocation. Managed VPS hosting handled separately, contact us for VPS-specific pricing. Third, move to dedicated infrastructure or cloud: for very high-traffic sites or compliance-heavy use cases, dedicated servers or cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, custom setups) become the right answer. Studio Ubique handles all three paths plus the migration work between tiers. The right tier depends on actual usage patterns, scoped during a review call.

Outage response sits in three layers. Layer one, automated detection: monitoring runs every minute against multiple endpoints (HTTP response, database connectivity, response time). Critical alerts trigger immediate notification to the operations team. Layer two, human response during business hours: NL team (09:00 to 17:30 CET) and India team (09:30 to 18:30 IST) cover roughly 16 hours per business day combined, with typical response within one hour of detection during business hours. Layer three, after-hours response: outside business hours, automated systems handle hardware-level failover and known incident playbooks, plus an on-call rotation for critical incidents available through the Care, Growth, and Partnership packages. For most managed hosting situations the standard tier is enough. For high-revenue sites where every hour of downtime has measurable cost, the Partnership tier adds 24/7 incident response within defined response time targets.

Honest comparison. SiteGround: similar shared cPanel stack with LiteSpeed at comparable pricing. Cloudways: managed cloud hosting on top of AWS, GCP, or DigitalOcean, more flexible scaling but no email hosting in their core offering. WP Engine and Kinsta: WordPress-specific managed hosting with deeper WordPress integration, typically more expensive starting around $35 to $50 per month, with stricter plugin restrictions. Where Studio Ubique fits differently: the hosting is part of a broader agency relationship, so if your site has issues that span hosting plus application plus integrations, you’re not coordinating between three vendors. Plus development hours for site changes use the same team that runs the hosting, no handoff between agency and host. Where managed cloud or WordPress-specific hosts fit better: if you’re hosting-only with no development needs, the specialised hosts have deeper hosting-specific features. The right host depends on whether the development partnership matters or whether you just need infrastructure.

Honest answer: the underlying infrastructure runs on a partner data centre with cPanel plus LiteSpeed plus Imunify360, similar to how most agency hosting works. Studio Ubique manages the hosting layer (account setup, configuration, security policies, monitoring, backups, customer support) on top of that infrastructure. What this means in practice: you get a single point of contact (Studio Ubique) for hosting plus development plus maintenance plus security, rather than coordinating between an infrastructure provider, a development agency, and a separate support team. The trade-off versus going direct to the infrastructure provider: you pay a small management premium for the integration plus the agency support. The advantage: technical issues that touch both hosting and application get resolved without vendor handoffs. Compliance certifications (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS) are held by the underlying infrastructure provider and available for clients whose compliance requirements need them.
