Host Media provides cloud hosting built on the 20i StackCP platform. The control panel manages databases, email, DNS, and SSL certificates, with support for scripting languages including PHP, Perl, Python, and Ruby. WordPress hosting, database hosting, and reseller accounts based on cPanel/WHM and DirectAdmin are also offered. The range includes CFML hosting for the Lucee and ColdFusion application servers, as well as hosting plans for agencies, charities, educational institutions, and startups.
Server products include virtual private servers, dedicated servers, and high-bandwidth servers, along with colocation at the company's Coventry facility. The VPS range uses KVM virtualization and is managed through an in-house control panel called BoxLayer. VPS plans are unmanaged and provide full root access by default, while a managed option is available with cPanel. Alongside the choice of control panels, several Linux distributions, FeeBSD, and Windows server are offered across their products. Managed hosting is available for both virtual and dedicated servers and covers security hardening, patching, migrations, and backup configuration, while customers remain responsible for their applications and code.
Host Media's infrastructure is centred on a data centre in Coventry, United Kingdom, which the company has used since it began operating. The facility has N+1 power protection with generator backup, along with 24/7 onsite staff and security. Traffic runs over Host Media's own network, with DDoS protection included as standard. Backups are stored off-site from the hosting platform. The network is backed by a 99.99 percent uptime target, measured over rolling thirty-day periods, with continuous monitoring.
Host Media uses data centres powered by renewable energy and reports being carbon negative since 2021. Its environmental measures include contributions to tree planting and Carbon Neutral Britain, as well as energy-efficient cooling and lighting in the facilities it uses. Domain registration is available across a wide selection of extensions and technical support is available 24/7 through tickets and live chat.
