Small by design
A limited number of sites, looked after properly
We keep our client list deliberately small so every site gets real attention. Get in touch to talk about moving yours.
hello@strathearnhosting.co.ukReal engineering, not overcrowded shared servers
Every client site runs on our own UK dedicated infrastructure. No overcrowded shared servers, no oversubscribed CPUs, no surprise slowdowns during someone else's traffic spike.
Proactive maintenance
Core updates, plugin security patching, nightly off-site backups, and uptime monitoring — all handled automatically. Real alerts when something needs attention, and someone actually responding to them.
Based in Perthshire, run by engineers
Part of the team behind ServeLogic (SC873950), a Scottish-registered SaaS platform serving independent restaurants across the UK. We know what production infrastructure looks like.
More than hosting: we build it too
The same engineers who run the servers design and build websites, apps and the software that runs a business behind the scenes, through our sister studio Vistacraft.
Websites
Fast, secure sites and online shops that you can update yourself.
Web apps
Booking, ordering and client portals, connected to card payments.
Business software
Customer records, jobs, invoicing and reporting, all in one place.
Migrations
Moving you off old or failing systems without losing a thing.
Some of our recent work
We never name our clients, so here is what we did rather than who we did it for.
Featured
A private family's email, moved and made secure
A family's long-standing email provider was closing at short notice. We gave them a private mail server of their own, used by no one else, and moved every mailbox across with years of correspondence intact. Nothing was lost.
- Their own dedicated server, shared with no other client
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC, so mail lands in inboxes, not spam
- Encrypted sign-in only; weaker methods switched off
- One-tap setup for every iPhone, iPad and Mac, talked through by phone
- Nightly encrypted off-site backups, restore-tested
Restaurant ordering platform
ServeLogic, our own platform: online ordering, kitchen tablets and card payments for independent takeaways, saving them thousands in app commission.
Online shop for a craft business
A fast, modern shop with card payments, replacing an older WordPress store.
Country estate website
Moved from a closing host with no lost enquiries, secured, and spam on the enquiry form stopped.
Business system for a trades group
Customer records and jobs for several companies, run from one secure system.
Online summit platform
Multi-day video summits with playlists, attendee emails and one-click unsubscribe.
Support group website
A warm, simple site with an easy admin area that volunteers can run themselves.

We understand WordPress security at a forensic level
Most hosts sell "secure WordPress hosting". Fewer can tell you what an ALFA TEaM Shell looks like when it's live on a client's server, or how to reverse-engineer a multi-stage XOR/ROT13/base64 obfuscation pipeline to figure out what an attacker actually did.
We can. We've done the forensic work on real WordPress compromises, and we host with that knowledge baked into every site — hardened admin, mandatory 2FA, upload PHP execution locked out, file integrity monitoring, and nightly encrypted off-site backups we've actually restored from.
When something goes wrong on your site — and eventually something always does — you want someone who's been there before, calm, on your side.
