Is your website actually OK?
Type your web address. We'll check your SSL, speed, security headers, what your WordPress site gives away, and whether it works on phones. These are live checks, run from our server right now.
How we work
No guesswork. No "let's just reinstall it".
The same four steps every time, whether it's a £50 plugin clash or a full server migration.
- 1
Inspect
Logs, error messages, recent changes. We look before we touch anything.
- 2
Explain
You get the real cause in plain English, and a fixed price, before any work starts.
- 3
Smallest safe fix
Backup first, then the minimum change that solves it, without breaking what already works.
- 4
Test & prove it
We check the site, forms and checkout, then send you a short note of what we did.
Local, and remote

Questions
Straight answers
My website is down right now. What should I do?
Call 07495 384 583. While you wait, screenshot any error message, note when it started, and list anything that changed recently (plugin updates, a new theme, a hosting change). That alone often halves the time it takes to fix.
Do you charge by the hour?
No. We look at the problem first, then agree a fixed price before starting. Most WordPress fixes come in at £50–£150.
Will moving my website to Host Hobbit take it offline?
Migration is free. We move your website, databases and email with minimal downtime, usually switching over when your traffic is lowest.
What if I'm not happy with the hosting?
Every hosting plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not happy, you don't pay.
Do I need to give you my passwords?
Never send passwords by email or social media. When we need access, we'll set up a secure way to share it, or a temporary login that we remove afterwards.
