SPEC 02 — Managed Hosting
Managed UK Hosting — Built Around Your Project
Generic hosting puts your application on infrastructure designed for the average. Your project isn't average. Edznet managed hosting is configured specifically for the platform you're running, the code we've built, and the way your application actually behaves under load.
What You Get
UK Managed Hosting
Every managed hosting package includes the full stack — configured, maintained, and monitored. No hidden extras, no features you have to upgrade to unlock.
Dedicated Environment
Your application runs in its own isolated environment. No shared CPU, no noisy neighbours, no resource contention from other sites on the same server affecting your performance or security.
Platform-Optimised Stack
WHMCS, WordPress, Drupal, and custom PHP applications each have different server requirements. We configure PHP-FPM, OPcache, Nginx rules, and database settings specifically for how your platform actually runs.
Full Staging Environment
Every hosted project includes a complete mirror staging environment. Same stack, isolated database, password protected. Nothing reaches production without being tested on staging first.
SSL & Security
SSL certificates provisioned and auto-renewed. HTTP/2 enabled. Server-level security hardening including PHP configuration, directory protection, and regular security patching as standard.
Automated Daily Backups
Full daily backups of files and database, stored off-site. Retention period agreed per project. Point-in-time restore available — if something goes wrong, we can roll back without drama.
Uptime Monitoring & Alerts
30-second interval uptime monitoring on your live environment. Instant alerts to the Edznet team if anything goes down — we know before you do and we're already looking at it.
Managed Updates & Patches
PHP version management, server security patches, and platform core updates handled by us. Updates are tested on staging before they go anywhere near production. No surprise breakages.
Redis Object Cache
Redis available as a managed object cache layer for platforms that support it. Significant performance improvement for database-heavy applications — WHMCS and WordPress in particular benefit substantially.
cPanel / WHM Access
You retain full cPanel access to your own environment. Manage files, databases, email, and DNS yourself at any time — you're never locked out of your own stack or dependent on us for routine access.
Platform Support
Each platform has its own server requirements, caching behaviour, and performance profile. We don't run a one-size-fits-all stack — we configure around what you're actually running.
WHMCS
Billing platform hosting with specific attention to cron jobs, email piping, payment gateway connectivity and module performance.

WordPress
WordPress and WooCommerce hosting with object caching, OPcache, and Nginx rules optimised for WordPress permalink structure.

Drupal
Drupal hosting configured for Drupal's caching architecture, file system requirements, and Drush command-line access for deployments.

Bespoke PHP
Custom PHP applications and Fat-Free F3 projects hosted on clean, minimal stacks configured precisely for the application's requirements.

// One team. Full stack. The same developers who built your application manage the server it runs on. When something needs investigating, there's no back-and-forth between a dev team and a hosting team — the same person who wrote the code can read the server logs.
Why Edznet Hosting
What separates managed hosting from just hosting.
01
Differentiator
No Finger Pointing
When something goes wrong with a hosted project, the most common outcome is the hosting company blaming the code and the developer blaming the server. With Edznet, the same team is accountable for both. One call, one fix.
02
Differentiator
Config Knows Your Code
Generic hosting stacks are optimised for the average application. We know exactly how your application was built, what it needs to run well, and what server settings will cause problems. That knowledge lives in the hosting config.
03
Differentiator
Updates Don't Break Things
PHP version upgrades, platform updates, and security patches are tested on your staging environment before they go live. We've written the code — we know which updates need careful handling and which don't.
04
Differentiator
You Keep Control
cPanel access is yours. You can see your files, your databases, your logs. You're not dependent on raising a ticket every time you need routine access to your own environment. Managed doesn't mean locked out.
05
Differentiator
Backed by 20+ Years
Edznet has been running managed hosting infrastructure for over two decades. The processes, the monitoring, the backup strategy, and the incident response aren't new — they're refined from years of running production systems.
06
Differentiator
Scales With Development
As your project grows and evolves, the hosting grows with it. New features, additional traffic, expanded functionality — we adjust the stack to match the application, not the other way around.
Technical Specification
The core stack every Edznet hosted environment is built on. Specific versions and configuration are agreed per project.

// No standard tiers. Hosting is priced based on your project's resource requirements, platform, traffic profile, and support level. We don't believe in paying for resources you don't need or being throttled by a tier that doesn't fit. Contact us and we'll put together a quote that reflects your actual requirements.
