Ben's Web Hosting Service
Updates & Important InformationImportant Announcement
Important: the old hosting server will be permanently shut down on Sunday 7 June 2026.
If you want to keep your website, domain, or email service, please contact me and begin the migration process within the next week.
After 7 June 2026 I cannot guarantee that old websites, email accounts, or backups will still be recoverable.
After many years of running a shared hosting account to make it easy to manage my clients websites, I've decided to stop. I am no longer a self employed web developer (I have been employed full-time for the past 3 years at a university), and because of this, I’m now closing down my reseller hosting account and helping everyone move to their own hosting over the coming months.
I will personally help you move to new hosting so everything continues running smoothly without interruption to your email or website. Because the shutdown date is now approaching, please begin the migration process within the next week if you want to keep your services active. I have quite a large number of migrations to complete, so starting now gives me the best chance to help everyone safely before the final shutdown on 7 June 2026.

Why This Is Happening
My hosting setup was never intended to be a business. It grew organically as I helped people with websites. Over time, as my career shifted, the hosting became harder to maintain properly. Rather than let things drift or risk outages, I’m drawing things to a proper close and making sure everyone has a stable home for their site going forward.
If You Need Help
I’m still here to make the transition easy. Whether you're moving to Namecheap, Nutty About Hosting, or somewhere else, I can provide files, backups, advice and support during the handover.
