Tumblr Backup Options: None of them do everything

Cheeky but true. I'll go through what's good and bad about each option though so you can decide which balances out for you.

Covered: native export, WordPress (kinda), TumblThree, tumblr-utils (kinda)

Native Export

If you go to "https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/yourblogname", at the bottom of the page is an export option

Once you hit the button to start the request, it will start processing. Feel free to log off, this is going to to take a few hours. You don't need to keep it open. ~22k posts took roughly a day for me. If you have a small number of posts and get stuck, you're probably broken.

When it's done processing, you can hit that download backup button and then wait some more as you wait for the zip file to download. Mine failed the first time after like twenty minutes, and then I had to start over. I think it took 1-2 hour(s) and I'm almost certain that was on Tumblr and not my internet. And that was the zip file! So make sure your computer can be on for a while before getting this started.

So what do you get?

A media folder, conversations folder, and posts folder

Media folder: Every single photo, gif, and video that has ever been on your blog or in your DMs. There is no context data attached (except for dm images which do say which conversation they're from at least), but they seem to be in chronological order because they seem to be titled by the post's ID (the string of numbers in the address bar after "/post/"). They look like "100868498227", "100868498228_0", "100868498228_1"

When you see something end with "_0" and up that means the photos are in the same post, so _0 represents the first image in the post, _1 represents the second, etc (at least, I think).

Conversations folder: HTML export files of every DM history you have on your blog. These are actually pretty well formatted, see example here.

Posts folder: html subfolder and posts_index.html file

posts_index.html: File listing every single post on your blog by post ID on its own line with no other context. Example of a line: "Post: 780053389730037760". The ID number will link to the post in the html folder

html subfolder: contains a submissions subfolder and stripped html file versions of every post on your blog. See below first what the post looks like on Tumblr, and second what the post looks like in the html folder

The way you seem to be intended to use this is to open the file index, select a post ID, and be jumped to where that post is saved as an html file, but I don't know why you would bother when the index doesn't provide any information about the posts inside it. The posts all have extremely minimal formatting. See a reblog chain below.

Notice I said ALL posts on your blog. Photo posts without a caption will just have a broken image icon and then the date and tags. Theoretically, it might be that if you unzip the entire export folder that allows it to automatically link to the image saved in your media folder. I have no fucking idea, unzipping the folder was estimated to take two hours so I didn't do it. Let me know if you do though so I can update this post!

The submissions folder is such a rabbithole I made a post just on it but long story short it's asks you haven't replied to

What do I see as the main reasons to opt for this option? 1) you don't want to download any programs or files from the internet just to backup your blog, 2) your blog is relatively small, so digging through the ID files isn't a big deal, 3) you mostly just want to download either the images (which will be browsable via thumbnail previews in the media folder if you unzip it) or conversation history, which are fairly well formatted, 4) you don't need to update your export often/ever, because you'd have to request it from the start and download the entire thing all over again, 5) you want to be able to read your text posts clearly and don't care about preserving the full formatting, and/or 6) you don't plan to reupload this information elsewhere (say on... a WordPress blog)

WordPress Automatic Ex/Import

Move your post's from Matt's right hand to his left! WordPress (another product of Automattic) has a native Tumblr importer found under your WP Admin dashboard for your site under Tools > Import > Tumblr.

How does this work? No idea! I hit import 2 days ago and it has done nothing. Maybe I'm stuck, maybe it's permanently broken. It says to contact support if it's been over 24 hours but they don't make that easy. I disconnected from Tumblr (you can only port over a blog you have the login of) and reconnected and it still said it was importing. I don't think it's ever going to do anything.

Presumably it's supposed to 1:1 import every post on your blog onto the WordPress site, which will result in a whole lot of stolen art because there's no way to select just your original posts. Also, you'd need enough storage on your webhost to house all the posts (this honestly might be my problem, but I was planning to delete all the non-original posts once it imported.... anything and backfill what it didn't get to). The one thing I'll say about this option is that it's the only one I've seen so far that exports drafts and queues as well.

I mean, if it exported anything. If this ever does anything I'll update this post, but either my blog is too large or this tool isn't totally functional anymore.

TumblThree

(previously TumblTwo, etc)

TumblThree is an all-in-one program requiring no extra downloads beyond the main Zip, and was last updated fairly recently at the time of this post. In order to run it, unzip it into one folder and run the main .exe. It has a full UI interface with lots of very descriptive helper text to help you select the right options for you without looking at the wiki. I think it's user-friendly for non-tech people.

There are a lot of options in TumblThree to change what output it gives you, but I'm going to start with the largely universal parts first:

Everything from one blog will be exported to one folder, no subfolders or sorting. As a result, the output is very messy and difficult to wade through, but post metadata and the photos are named in the same way so you can scroll, see an image preview, and then click on the metadata txt for that post and read the caption.

Depending on your settings, you can export all photos, videos, text posts, etc as their own files or exclude them from the export entirely. For the different types of media posts, you can independently select if you what to download just the media, just the metadata for it (everything that surrounds the post when you see it on Tumblr, such as the caption, OP, tags, etc), or both.

Master txt file: For every type of media metadata you export, a correspondingly named txt file will be created (images.txt, answers.txt, etc) that contains the text/metadata of every post of that type in one txt file. This is also the default behavior for exporting text posts.

Note: for text posts (which includes asks/answers), it only creates a master txt file if you do not select "Save texts as individual files", in which case it will only save each text as an individual txt file and not make a master file.

The formatting on these files is so brutal I won't even give examples, but they're unreadable. Being a .txt file, there is no native formatting, so it exports in html formatting.

Example: instead of a post that says "I want to go swimming", it exports: "I want to go < b >swimming< / b >" (minus the spaces around the b) as the post body, which is a big part of what makes it unreadable, because there are a lot of hyperlinks in all the header information listed below.

Each post in the master txt exports with: Post ID, date, post URL, slug, reblog key (no idea what that is), reblog URL, reblog name, title, [the text/caption itself], and tags.

Theoretically this means you could ctrl+f "cybertrucks" in the master txt file and then browse all your posts making fun of Tesla owners by tabbing through the returns. This is not possible with any of the previous options, and only is possible because it's all in one file, as ridiculous as it is, which is why getting that master file is so important.

For the trick to get both the individual text posts and master text.txt & answers.txt file, as well as my recommended settings and details on how updating backups works, see the read more at the end of this post.

The images.txt includes all the information listed above, but with the following additions: photo url (NOTE: this is the url on Tumblr, not a link to where it is in your folder), photo set URLs, photo caption, and "downloaded files" (NOTE: this is the name of the file it has downloaded)

The video.txt is similar to the above

The use case for this would be similar to what I described for text posts above: search keywords from captions, tags, etc and when you find what you think is what you want, copy the name from "downloaded files" and search your folder to find the actual image

I really hated TumblThree's output the first time I looked at it and then I realized the single file is the only way to make browsing tags workable, because otherwise you would have to have a folder for every tag, and posts with multiple tags would have to be duplicated between them. I'm not pressed on finding a txt to HTML converter right now but it could be an option in the future if you wanted to make things more readable.

Okay, let's get into the non-universal stuff you can customize in settings, because it's like, everything:

File names: We've already established you can search with the downloaded file name for images, but what will that be? Whatever you fucking want. Post date, reblogger name, post ID, post title, original file name, you can make it any and all of these in any order you want! You can have actually useful file names! Personally I like %e_%p_%q_%i_%x which exports as DateTime_PostTitle_BlogOriginName_PostID_IteratingNumber (note: you need some kind of unique iterator to be valid so two files don't have the same name, such as multiple photos from one post). Look how much searchable information that gives me, in chronological order! It decreases your need for the master txt file.

Tip I wish I thought of before doing my massive export: make one of the unique headers from the master txt file part of the exported file name so it's easy to search for it after identifying it in the master file.

Files scanned: this is the only method I've found that lets you back everything up, remember what it backed up, and then lets you add any new posts since that date without having to download the whole thing again. That's a game changer, but see the read more below for limitations.

You also have the option to rescan the entire thing if you want.

Post type: T3 (I'm abbreviating it now) also lets you export just your original posts, just reblogs, etc - again, giving you the most control of any options. It also lets you export replies. I, uh, would not do this because if you have any popular post on your blog it might have hundreds, or thousands of replies but hey, you can do it!

You also have the option to only download posts with a certain tag.

Blog options: You can export literally any blog you have the URL of. In fact, if you copy a blog URL while it's open, it will automatically add that blog to its UI and create an empty folder for it. It makes it easy, no private key required. I do have mixed feelings about the concept of exporting someone else's blog... but I'm also planning to do it to some of Crew-ra's blogs so... my digital horde must grow.

You can also queue blogs up and leave it to run through a lot of them. It is a lot faster than Tumblr's native export, I started this import well after I started typing this post and it took a few hours, probably not all that much longer than just downloading Tumblr's export took (and that's while running it alongside other data copy operations because I'm backing up a lot of stuff right now).

I do recommend doing a test export with a sideblog, I was able to use wild-bitchofthenorthwoods as a test import since it only has one post and it has media, so it was super quick.

(I do want to note, I think the number of downloadable items starts out matching the number of posts on your blog without scanning them until you start the export - but if you choose to export everything as its own file, you're going to end up with way more than that because a post with three images would be multiple files)

Things T3 cannot export:

Since in its simplest form it's just accessing the public upload of your blog, it cannot export your drafts, queue, or conversations

It cannot export posts as HTML files, and thus cannot export them with readable formatting natively

What do I see as the main reasons to opt for this option? 1) you don't care about exporting your DMs/conversations, 2) you want the ability to export only certain kinds of posts (original, photos, using a tag, etc), 3) you want to control the titles of the exported files 4) you don't mind wading through massive folders, 5) you want the ability to search tags (using the txt files), 6) you want the ability to update your export without starting over from the beginning, 7) you either don't want to reupload this information somewhere else, or you want to upload it somewhere that supports automatic HTML conversion (for instance, you can switch a Tumblr post from a rich text format to HTML, same with AO3, so you can put it in as HTML and then hit post to see it turn into a rich format. This techically makes T3 the most versatile/useful export option if you're planning to do anything with it other than browse your own files).

tumblr-utils

Full disclosure: haven't tried this one. But others have! tumblr-utils is a no-UI, python-based backup software. This means in order to use it you have to type commands into the terminal. If you don't know what I just said, don't use this one.

If you do, you'll need to separately download python and youtube-dl just to get this one running. You'll also need to give it your personal Tumblr API key and feed it commands deciphered from the wiki page I linked. Here are two different guides people have written on how to use it. Output:

Obviously I'm guessing based on the documentation, but one thing that is nice is this tool allows you to save each post in its own folder. Presumably each post is multiple files like we saw with T3, so this would make it easy to group them, but it also means you'd have to look in every single folder to find anything.

It seems to break posts up into timestamp folders by month, again, helping with management to narrow down where you have to search

It allows you to save only certain kinds of posts at a time like T3

It allows you to backup posts only from a certain time period (so if you keep a little .txt note of the last time you backed up, you can easily add only the new posts into your backup without having to start over from the beginning)

It allows you to only save posts under a certain tag like T3

It allows you to save only original posts

It's the only one I've found that lets you back up your liked posts

What do I see as the main reasons to opt for this option? 1) you don't care about exporting your DMs/conversations, 2) you want the ability to export only certain kinds of posts (original, photos, using a tag, etc), (okay now we get to the points that aren't also covered by T3), 3) you want posts to export already broken into folders, whether by post or by month, 4) you want to back up your likes, 5) you don't care what file names look like, 6) you're comfortable with the command line/coding and don't need a UI.

Summary:

None of these options are ideal for reuploading your files anywhere (except WordPress), but I do think TumblThree is the best of the options because of the written HTML formatting in the txt files being useful for websites that support automatic conversion (or require HTML input).

For starting another blog, WordPress wins. If it works. I'm trying to be generous here.

For searchability, T3 wins again.

For versatility... yeah you know it's T3, but tumblr-utils has a lot of the same features, too!

For sentimentality (aka conversations), it has to be the native export. There literally is not any other option.

For queues and drafts, the only theoretical option is WordPress. If it works.

For likes, the only option is tumblr-utils.

Every option does something the others don't, so theoretically to cover everything, you have to do all four options. Actually I would say do the native export if you don't have a lot of posts and aren't a freak like me, check it out, and if it doesn't work (I know it's finnicky) or you don't like the export, go with TumblThree. This also means you'll at least have your conversations even if you don't end up using the native export any other way.

And I wish it could go without saying, but don't repost people's shit, y'all. I'm backing up everything for my records only and it will never be shared with anyone else, or even browsed as long as using Tumblr instead is an option.

TumblThree adding to old backup quirks, recommended settings, & master file backup solution:

Adding to backup quirks:

From my tests, when you scan a blog you've already backed up to just add new posts to it, it does not update the master file, so if you want to update it, you'll have to do the steps I list at the end of this post. It might be possible it does update if you force rescan, but I highly doubt it.

If you scan a blog you previously backed up under more restrictive settings - say you only backed up original text posts as one file before and now you've selected to back up absolutely everything - it will only download up until the time you last backed up that blog. It will not blow past where you last downloaded to download all the photos and videos it didn't get before just because they're selected now. This is great for doing after using the master file solution I'm showing below, but if you do need to download everything after doing a more restrictive scan, you can once again follow the first few steps below to do so.

Recommended settings:

This will obviously vary by what you're trying to do, but one or two things weren't immediately obvious to me and I did say I think this was the best solution for less technical users, so I want give my personal recommendations. Settings can obviously be found under the settings button at the bottom of the screen (you may need to use the scrollbar on the UI for, which is separate from the scrollbar on the blogs panel), but when you click on a blog, when you click "Details" in the right sidebar, you can also see your most important settings at a glance and adjust them to whatever you want them to be "per blog". I believe TumblThree remembers what you last used for the blog and applies the things in settings only to new/other blogs.

The thing that is going to vary the most is how many different types of posts you want to back up (text, video, reblogs included, etc), so I'll leave that up to you. If you're going to export a media type, though, I generally recommend exporting the metadata too.

I already gave my preferred file names above and again that's going to be something that varies a lot by people. Hover over the "Filename template" box and it will give you all the options in the legend you can combine via underscores.

Leave "Skip .gif files" off unless you're hurting for hard drive space. This removes all the gifs from your download, and the reason this is provided as a separate setting is because gifs have relatively massive files (at least compared to a text file)

I'll be honest I haven't seen a difference between turning on and off "Group photo sets". Because of the way file names work, most conventions will naturally lead to photos from the same post all being in a row.

"Save texts as individual files": if you only want texts to be saved as their master text.txt and answers.txt files, uncheck this. If you want the individual files I highly recommend you also download the master file for searching purposes, in which case my recommendation is this:

1) Select to export texts only, leaving off all media options, and uncheck the "Save texts as individual files" option. 2) Export the blog. This will only result in two files, answers.txt and texts.txt. 3) Move these files elsewhere on the computer to save them. 4) With T3 closed, delete the folder for the blog and the blog's Indexes (see instructions at the end of this post for finding these). 5) Reopen T3, which shouldn't remember it ever saw the blog and create a new folder for it. Turn on the "Save texts as individual files", as well as any other media posts you want to download. 6) Export the entire blog again. 7) Move the texts.txt and answers.txt file back into the blog's folder.

I leave all other options on the Details tab off, except for:

"Force rescan" scans past the point it last backed up and searches the whole blog again. If you have a big blog, this is going to burn time. This is needed for the number of downloaded items in the panel to be accurate but I don't know why you would care or turn this on unless it lets you skip steps 3-4 above, but my blog is too big to burn through testing that, so if you try it, let me know and I'll update this post!

Master file backup solution:

See my 7 steps from above to skip having to do this, but if you accidentally do things out of order and then realize you still need the master files for texts post after backing everything else up, here's how you get it with minimal pain:

T3 will make an "Index" folder in both the main folder for the program where the exe is located and the destination folder where you have your blogs backing up (note: these were two very different places for me, if you just have it back up to the automatic Blogs folder within T3's folder, it might not create a second Index folder).

To make T3 "forget" what it has backed up previously so it goes through to the beginning and makes a master file that includes everything, all you have to do is remove the Index file(s) for the blog while it's closed so it doesn't remember it anymore. I backed my index up in another folder.

Check off for it to only download text posts, and then uncheck the "Save texts in individual files" option. This will cause it to only create the master answers.txt and texts.txt file on the rescan.

The combination of only going for one post type and only downloading one file for it means this rescan is relatively fast. When you look at your Blogs folder, you'll find a new folder has been created for your blog name (in my case, there was "n7punk" and "n7punk_2) and your output is in the new folder. I just moved it over to the original folder.

At this point you can restore the indexes, though I've only gotten it to half recognize them. I can get it to recognize my original n7punk folder so everything can stay there, but the total downloaded items is stuck at what it was when I did just the text posts. I don't really care, it was mainly the folder thing I wanted to fix. If you have lag between your last full backup and your master-only backup, this might cause some issues? I don't know because I made sure there wasn't lag, so I recommend doing another backup to add any missing items before doing this method.

You can also use this technique if you want to download only your original posts and then download everything else to a second folder. Adjust the setting to only download original posts, download the whole blog, close T3 and delete the indexes, rename the folder to whatever you want ("n7punk_original", etc), and then reopen T3 and set it to download everything and run it again from the start.

[screentones-webcomicresources]

There are many web hosting companies to choose from if you're taking the plunge into making your own website with a comic content management system (CMS) like ComicControl or Grawlix, a Wordpress comic theme like Toocheke or ComicPress, or a HTML template to cut/paste code like Rarebit. While these solutions are generally free, finding a home for them is... generally not. It can be hard to choose what's best for your webcomic AND your budget!

We took a look at a few of the top hosting services used by webcomics creators using webcomic CMSes, and we put out a poll to ask your feedback about your hosts!

This post may be updated as time goes on as new services enter the hosting arena, or other important updates come to light.

Questions:

💻 I can get a free account with Wix/Squarespace/Carrd, could I just use those for my comic? - Web hosts like this may have gallery functions that could be adapted to display a series of pages, but they are very basic and not intended for webcomics.

📚 Wait, I host on Webtoon, Tapas, Comic Fury, or some other comic website, why are they not here? - Those are comic platforms! We'll get into those in a future post!

🕵️‍♀️Why does it say "shared hosting"? Who am I sharing with? - "Shared hosting" refers to sharing the server space with other customers. They will not have access to your files or anything, so it is perfectly fine to use for most comic CMSes. You may experience slowing if there is too much activity on a server, so if you're planning to host large files or more than 10 comics, you may want to upgrade to a more robust plan in the future.

Web Host List

Neocities

Basic plan pricing: Free or $5/month. Free plan has more restrictions (1 GB space, no custom domain, and slower bandwidth, among other things)

Notes: Neocities does not have database support for paid or free accounts, and most comic CMS solutions require this (ComicCtrl, Grawlix, Wordpress). You will need to work with HTML/CSS files directly to make a website and post each page.

Hostinger

Basic plan pricing: $11.99/month or $7.99/month with four year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 4 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain for the 1st year. Free SSL Certifications. Weekly backups.

KnownHost

Basic plan pricing: $8.95/month or $7.99/month with four year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 4 year plans available).

Notes: Free DDOS protection. Free SSL Certifications.

InMotion Hosting

Basic plan pricing: $12.99/month or $9.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, and 3 year plans available).

Notes:  Free SSL Certifications, free domain names for 1 and 3 year plans. 24/7 live customer service and 90-day money-back guarantee. Inmotion also advertises eco-friendly policies: We are the first-ever Green Data Center in Los Angeles. We cut cooling costs by nearly 70 percent and reduce our carbon output by more than 2,000 tons per year.

Reviews:

👍“I can't remember it ever going down.”

👍“InMotion has a pretty extensive library full of various guides on setting up and managing websites, servers, domains, etc. Customer service is also fairly quick on responding to inquiries.” 👎“I wish it was a bit faster with loading pages.”

Ionos Hosting

Basic plan pricing: $8/month or $6/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 2 and 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain for the first year, free SSL Certification, Daily backup and recovery is included. Site Scan and Repair is free for the first 30 days and then is $6/month.

Reviews:

👍“Very fast and simple” 👎“Customer service is mediocre and I can't upload large files”

Bluehost

Basic plan pricing: $15.99/month or $4.95/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain and SSL certificates (for first year only). 24/7 Customer Service. Built to handle higher traffic websites. Although they specialize in Wordpress websites and provide updates automatically, that's almost a bad thing for webcomic plugins because they will often break your site. Their cloud hosting services are currently in early access with not much additional information available.

Reviews:

👎"The fees keep going up. Like I could drop $100 to cover a whole year, but now I'm paying nearly $100 for just three months. It's really upsetting."

👎"I have previously used Bluehost’s Wordpress hosting service and have had negative experiences with the service, so please consider with a grain of salt. I can confirm at least that their 24/7 customer service was great, although needed FAR too often."

Dreamhost

Basic plan pricing: $7.99/month or $5.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free SSL Certificates, 24/7 support with all plans, 97-day moneyback guarantee. Not recommended for ComicCtrl CMS

Reviews:

👍“They've automatically patched 2 security holes I created/allowed by mistake.” 👍“Prices are very reasonable” 👎 “back end kind of annoying to use” 👎 “wordpress has some issues” 👎 “it's not as customizable as some might want“

GoDaddy

Basic plan pricing: $11.99/month or $9.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free 24/7 Customer service with all plans, Free SSL Certificates for 1 year, free domain and site migration.

Reviews:

👍Reasonable intro prices for their Economy hosting, which has 25GB of storage 👍Migrated email hosting service from cPanel to Microsoft Office, which has greater support but may not be useful for most webcomic creators. 👎 Many site issues and then being upsold during customer service attempts. 👎 Server quality found lacking in reviews 👎 Marketing scandals in the past with a reputation for making ads in poor taste. Have been attempting to clean up that image in recent years. 👎 “GoDaddy is the McDonald's of web hosting. Maybe the Wal-Mart of hosting would be better. If your website was an object you would need a shelf to put it on. You go to Wal-Mart and buy a shelf. It's not great. It's not fancy. It can only hold that one thing. And if we're being honest - if the shelf broke and your website died it wouldn't be the end of the world.The issue comes when you don't realize GoDaddy is the Wal-Mart of hosting. You go and try to do things you could do with a quality shelf. Like, move it. Or add more things to it.” MyWorkAccountThisIs on Reddit*

Things to consider for any host:

💸 Introductory/promotional pricing - Many hosting companies offer free or inexpensive deals to get you in the door, and then raise the cost for these features after the first year or when you renew. The prices in this post are the base prices that you can expect to pay after the promotional prices end, but may get outdated, so you are encouraged to do your own research as well.

💻 Wordpress hosting - Many of the companies below will have a separate offering for Wordpress-optimized hosting that will keep you updated with the latest Wordpress releases. This is usually not necessary for webcomic creators, and can be the source of many site-breaking headaches when comic plugins have not caught up to the latest Wordpress releases.

Any basic hosting plan on this list will be fine with Wordpress, but expect to stop or revert Wordpress versions if you go with this as your CMS.

🤝 You don't have to go it alone - While free hosts may be more limited, paid hosting on a web server will generally allow you to create different subdomains, or attach additional purchased domains to any folders you make. If you have other comic-making friends you know and trust, you can share your server space and split the cost!

Choosing the Right Hosting for High-Traffic WordPress Sites

When it comes to running a high-traffic WordPress site, choosing the right hosting provider can make all the difference. Whether you're running an eCommerce store, a blog, or a business website, performance, speed, and reliability should be your top priorities. Here's a breakdown of the factors to consider when selecting a hosting plan for your high-traffic WordPress site.

1. Scalability is Key

For high-traffic sites, scalability is essential. Look for a hosting provider that offers scalable solutions, such as cloud hosting or VPS, which can handle traffic spikes and provide additional resources when needed. This flexibility ensures that your site stays fast and responsive even during peak traffic times.

2. Uptime Guarantee

Downtime can be catastrophic for any website, especially one that relies on high traffic. Choose a hosting provider that offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee. This ensures that your site is accessible to visitors at all times, minimizing potential revenue loss.

3. Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN can drastically reduce loading times for visitors from different geographical locations. By caching your content on servers around the world, a CDN ensures your site loads quickly no matter where the visitor is located.

4. Fast and Reliable Customer Support

Technical issues can arise at any time, especially when managing a high-traffic site. Ensure that your hosting provider offers fast and reliable customer support, ideally 24/7, to help resolve any issues quickly and efficiently.

5. Optimized for WordPress

For WordPress sites, it’s crucial to choose a hosting provider that specializes in WordPress optimization. Managed WordPress hosting services offer automated updates, enhanced security, and WordPress-specific performance optimizations, which can make a significant difference in site performance and security.

Comparing Wordpress Hosting in the UK

When it comes to building a website, one of the most critical decisions you'll make is selecting a hosting provider. For those seeking a platform that combines flexibility, ease of use, and scalability, **WordPress hosting in the UK** is an excellent choice. In this blog post, we will delve into various aspects of WordPress hosting specifically tailored for the UK market, helping you make an informed decision.

What Is Wordpress Hosting and Why Is It Important?

**WordPress hosting** refers to a type of web hosting that is optimised specifically for WordPress websites. Unlike generic web hosting, WordPress hosting is tailored to enhance the performance, security, and management of WordPress sites. This optimisation can take various forms, including server configurations, caching mechanisms, and specialised support. The importance of WordPress hosting lies in its ability to provide a seamless and efficient website experience. A well-optimised hosting environment can significantly improve site speed, which is crucial for retaining visitors and achieving higher search engine rankings. In addition, WordPress hosting often includes built-in security features such as automatic updates, malware scanning, and SSL certificates, which help protect your site from cyber threats. Another critical aspect is the ease of management. Many WordPress hosting providers offer managed services, meaning they handle technical tasks like software updates, backups, and security patches. This allows website owners to focus more on content creation and business operations rather than technical maintenance. Managed hosting can be particularly beneficial for those who lack technical expertise or simply wish to save time. Furthermore, specialised support is a key benefit of WordPress hosting. Providers typically have support teams well-versed in WordPress, capable of resolving issues more efficiently than general hosting support. This can be a lifesaver when facing unexpected problems or needing guidance on optimising your site. Finally, WordPress hosting often comes with additional tools and features designed to enhance functionality, such as one-click installations, staging environments, and developer tools. These features make it easier to customise and extend your website according to your specific needs.

Key Features to Look for in a UK WordPress Hosting Provider

When selecting a WordPress hosting provider, focusing on specific features can ensure you get the best performance and reliability for your site. One of the top priorities should be **managed WordPress hosting**, which handles tasks like updates and backups, freeing you to concentrate on content creation. Additionally, **automatic backups** are essential, providing peace of mind that your data is secure and can be restored if needed. **Security features** should be high on your list, including SSL certificates, firewalls, and malware scanning to protect your site from various threats. Equally important is **scalability**, allowing your hosting solution to grow with your website without requiring a complex migration process. **Customer support** is another crucial feature. Opt for providers that offer 24/7 support, ensuring assistance is available whenever you need it. Look for support options like live chat, phone, and a comprehensive knowledge base to troubleshoot issues swiftly. Other valuable features include **staging environments** for testing changes safely before deploying them live, and **one-click installations** for easy setup. **Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)** and **SSD storage** can further enhance your site's speed and performance, particularly important for retaining visitors and improving SEO rankings.

Top WordPress Hosting Providers in the UK

Several reputable WordPress hosting providers operate in the UK, each offering unique features and benefits to cater to different needs: - **SiteGround**: Renowned for its stellar customer support and managed WordPress hosting options. SiteGround is ideal for users seeking reliable performance and ease of management. - **Bluehost**: Officially recommended by WordPress, Bluehost provides a user-friendly experience, making it an excellent choice for beginners. Their plans include automatic updates and robust security features. - **Kinsta**: A premium managed hosting provider that focuses heavily on performance and speed, utilising Google Cloud infrastructure. Kinsta's services are suited for high-traffic websites that require top-notch performance. - **WP Engine**: Known for its high performance, robust security measures, and comprehensive support. WP Engine offers advanced features like staging environments and developer tools, making it a strong option for professionals. - **Fasthosts**: A UK-based provider offering budget-friendly plans without compromising on support. Fasthosts provides scalable solutions suitable for both small and large websites, with options to upgrade as your needs grow. - **TsoHost**: Offers a range of plans including shared, VPS, and cloud hosting, designed to cater to diverse requirements. Their UK-based data centres ensure optimal speed and compliance with local regulations. These providers offer a variety of plans and features, allowing you to find a solution that fits your specific needs and budget.

Speed and Performance Considerations for UK Users

Website speed is a pivotal element influencing user experience and search engine optimisation (SEO) rankings. For users in the UK, opting for a hosting provider with servers located within the country can drastically improve loading times, as proximity to the server reduces latency. Beyond server location, other critical factors to consider include caching solutions and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Caching stores a version of your website so that it can be delivered faster to repeat visitors, while CDNs distribute your content across multiple global locations, ensuring quicker access for users regardless of their geographic location. Solid State Drives (SSDs) also play a crucial role by providing faster data retrieval compared to traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). Look for hosting providers that offer advanced performance features such as PHP 7.x support, HTTP/2, and integrated caching mechanisms like Varnish or Memcached. These technologies can enhance the speed at which your website loads, improving overall user satisfaction. In addition, regular monitoring and performance analytics can help identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement. Many UK-based WordPress hosting providers include these tools in their plans, enabling you to make data-driven decisions to optimise your site's performance continuously. Focusing on these aspects ensures your website not only meets but exceeds the expectations of your UK audience, fostering better engagement and higher retention rates.

Understanding Security Features in UK WordPress Hosting

**Security is paramount when it comes to maintaining a reliable and trustworthy website. UK-based WordPress hosting providers often implement a range of robust security measures designed to protect your site from various cyber threats. Regular malware scans are essential, offering early detection and removal of malicious software that could compromise your website's integrity.** **DDoS protection is another critical feature, safeguarding your site against Distributed Denial of Service attacks, which aim to overwhelm your server with traffic, rendering it inaccessible. Automatic updates ensure that your WordPress software and plugins remain current, addressing potential vulnerabilities as soon as fixes are released.** **Firewalls serve as a barrier against unauthorised access, blocking malicious traffic and preventing attacks. Additionally, many hosting providers include intrusion detection systems to monitor and respond to suspicious activity in real time.** **Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of identification beyond just a password, making it significantly harder for attackers to gain access. SSL certificates are typically standard, encrypting data transmitted between your site and its visitors to protect sensitive information like login credentials and payment details.** **Finally, some providers offer security audits and vulnerability assessments, providing insights into potential risks and recommendations for improvement. These comprehensive security measures collectively enhance the safety and reliability of your WordPress site in the UK.**

Customer Support: Why Localised Support Matters

Access to localised customer support can make a significant difference when managing your WordPress site. Local support teams understand the unique challenges and requirements faced by UK-based websites, offering more tailored and effective assistance. They are also well-versed in local regulations, such as GDPR, ensuring that your website complies with legal standards. Language and time zone compatibility are additional benefits of localised support. When you encounter an issue, you can expect quicker response times and clearer communication, eliminating the frustration of language barriers and inconvenient support hours. This immediate assistance is invaluable, particularly in urgent situations where downtime could impact your business. Many UK hosting providers offer 24/7 support, giving you peace of mind that help is available whenever you need it. Whether through live chat, phone support, or an extensive online knowledge base, local support teams can resolve issues more efficiently. They are familiar with the specific needs and expectations of UK customers, which can result in more relevant and effective solutions. In addition, localised support often means a more personalised experience. UK-based providers typically have smaller support teams, allowing them to offer a higher level of customer service. This personal touch can make all the difference, especially for small businesses and individual site owners who may require more dedicated assistance.

Pricing: Getting the Best Value for Your Money

When evaluating pricing for **WordPress hosting in the UK**, it's essential to balance cost with value. While a lower price can be enticing, scrutinise the features and services included. Assess factors such as storage capacity, bandwidth limits, and the quality of customer support provided. Some providers offer introductory rates that increase upon renewal, so be aware of long-term costs. Look for packages that include essential features like SSL certificates, automatic backups, and security enhancements without additional charges. Compare different providers to ensure you're not missing out on critical functionalities. Some hosting companies offer flexible payment plans, such as monthly or annual billing, which can help manage your budget more effectively. Additionally, consider any hidden fees that may arise, such as charges for exceeding bandwidth or additional storage. By carefully analysing these elements, you can find a hosting solution that offers both affordability and comprehensive support, ensuring you get the best return on your investment.

Scalability and Flexibility of UK Hosting Providers

As your website evolves, having a hosting provider that supports scalability and flexibility becomes paramount. UK hosting providers often offer plans that can be easily upgraded to accommodate increased traffic, storage, and other resource demands. This capability is crucial for businesses anticipating growth, ensuring that your site can handle higher visitor numbers without performance issues. Look for providers that offer seamless upgrade paths, allowing you to enhance your plan without experiencing downtime or complex migration processes. Flexible hosting solutions often include options like VPS (Virtual Private Server) and dedicated hosting, which provide more control and resources compared to shared hosting environments. This flexibility allows you to adjust your hosting environment to meet changing needs effectively. Many UK hosting providers also offer pay-as-you-go models, enabling you to add resources like bandwidth and storage as required, without committing to higher-tier plans upfront. This approach is particularly beneficial for seasonal businesses or websites that experience fluctuating traffic levels. Additionally, some providers offer features like auto-scaling, which automatically allocates more resources during traffic spikes to maintain optimal performance. Finally, ensure that your hosting provider supports various integrations and plugins, allowing you to extend your website's functionality as needed. This adaptability can be a significant advantage, providing the tools necessary to grow and enhance your site over time.

The Importance of Data Centres and Server Locations in the UK

For websites targeting a UK audience, the location of data centres is a critical factor that directly impacts performance. Hosting your site on servers located within the UK can drastically reduce latency, leading to faster load times for local visitors. This proximity to the server ensures that data travels a shorter distance, which can significantly enhance the user experience. Local data centres also play a crucial role in compliance with GDPR regulations. UK-based data centres are more likely to adhere to local data protection laws, providing an added layer of security for your website’s data. This is particularly important for businesses that handle sensitive customer information, ensuring that data is stored and processed within legal frameworks. Additionally, having data centres in the UK means that your hosting provider can offer more reliable support tailored to your specific needs. Localised infrastructure allows for quicker response times in case of technical issues, ensuring that your site remains operational with minimal downtime. This can be especially beneficial during peak traffic periods when site performance is paramount. Lastly, the environmental impact of data centres should not be overlooked. Many UK hosting providers are adopting green energy solutions to power their data centres, aligning with broader sustainability goals and reducing carbon footprints. This not only supports environmental initiatives but also enhances your brand's commitment to sustainability.

Specialised WordPress Hosting Options Available in the UK

For WordPress users with specific needs, several UK hosting providers offer specialised hosting options. **WooCommerce hosting** is designed for e-commerce sites, providing features that enhance speed, security, and transaction handling. This type of hosting often includes pre-installed WooCommerce plugins, optimised server configurations, and dedicated support for online stores. **Multisite hosting** is another specialised option, ideal for users managing multiple WordPress sites from a single dashboard. This solution simplifies the management process, offering a centralised control panel to handle updates, backups, and other administrative tasks across all sites. **Staging environments** are crucial for those who wish to test changes or new features without affecting their live site. These environments allow users to create a copy of their site to experiment safely before deploying updates, ensuring that any potential issues can be resolved beforehand. Additionally, some providers offer **developer-focused hosting** with advanced tools such as SSH access, Git integration, and customisable server settings. These features cater to developers who require a high degree of control over their hosting environment, enabling them to tailor their setup to specific project needs. By offering these specialised options, UK WordPress hosting providers cater to a diverse range of requirements, making it easier for users to find a solution that aligns with their unique needs.

User Experience: How UK Providers Enhance Usability

UK hosting providers focus heavily on enhancing usability to ensure a seamless experience for their users. Many offer intuitive control panels like cPanel or custom-built dashboards that simplify website management tasks. These interfaces often feature drag-and-drop functionalities, making it straightforward for users to upload files, manage domains, and configure email settings without needing technical expertise. Providers frequently include one-click installations for WordPress and other popular applications, streamlining the setup process. This feature allows users to launch their websites quickly without grappling with complex configurations. Additionally, many UK hosting companies offer extensive knowledge bases, video tutorials, and community forums, providing valuable resources for troubleshooting and site optimisation. For ongoing site maintenance, automated tools such as backup services and update notifications are commonly integrated. These tools ensure that sites remain secure and up-to-date with minimal manual intervention. Enhanced usability extends to performance monitoring features, enabling users to track metrics like site speed and uptime easily. Real-time analytics help identify potential issues before they impact the user experience, allowing for prompt resolution. By prioritising these user-friendly features, UK hosting providers make website management accessible, even for those with limited technical skills.

Case Studies: Success Stories from UK-Based WordPress Sites

The success of UK-based websites using WordPress hosting is evident through various case studies. Take "The Independent," a leading news outlet that utilises WordPress for its robust content management system. By leveraging advanced caching solutions and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), they've optimised their site speed and user experience, accommodating millions of daily visitors efficiently. Another notable example is "Graze," the snack subscription service that has scaled its e-commerce operations seamlessly with specialised WooCommerce hosting. The integration of automatic backups, SSL certificates, and tailored support has allowed them to maintain a secure and efficient online store, boosting customer trust and engagement. Local educational institutions like "University of Oxford" have also benefitted from WordPress hosting. Utilising features such as staging environments and managed hosting services, they have created dynamic, user-friendly portals that cater to students and faculty alike. Small businesses like "BrewDog," a craft beer company, have taken advantage of developer-focused hosting to customise their websites extensively. This flexibility has enabled them to create unique, engaging online experiences that align with their brand identity. These examples demonstrate the diverse capabilities of WordPress hosting in the UK, catering to various industries and needs effectively.

Environmental Impact: Green Hosting Options in the UK

As environmental concerns take centre stage, many UK hosting providers are adopting eco-friendly practices to reduce their carbon footprint. These green hosting solutions often involve using renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar power, to operate data centres. Energy-efficient hardware and cooling technologies further minimise energy consumption, ensuring a more sustainable operation. Providers like GreenGeeks and Eco Web Hosting have made significant strides in this area, offering services that not only perform well but also contribute positively to the environment. Some companies even participate in carbon offset programmes, planting trees or investing in renewable energy projects to balance out their emissions. Additionally, hosting companies may implement policies to reduce waste, such as promoting digital documentation over printed materials and encouraging remote work to cut down on travel emissions. By choosing a green hosting provider, you can support these environmental initiatives, aligning your website with broader sustainability goals.

Final Thoughts: Choosing the Best WordPress Hosting for Your Needs

Selecting the best WordPress hosting in the UK can be a daunting task, given the myriad of options available. However, focusing on key aspects such as performance, security, customer support, and scalability can streamline your decision-making process. Performance is vital; ensure the provider offers advanced caching solutions, SSD storage, and local data centres to optimise loading times. Security should not be compromised, so look for features like SSL certificates, firewalls, and regular malware scans. Customer support is another crucial factor, particularly localised support that understands UK-specific challenges and regulations. 24/7 availability and multiple support channels can provide peace of mind and quick resolutions to any issues. Scalability is essential for future growth. Opt for a provider that offers seamless upgrade paths and flexible resource allocation to accommodate increasing traffic and storage needs. Specialised hosting options, such as WooCommerce hosting for e-commerce sites or developer-focused hosting, can offer additional benefits tailored to your specific requirements. Finally, consider the environmental impact. Green hosting options not only benefit the planet but can also enhance your brand's sustainability credentials. By weighing these factors carefully, you can find a WordPress hosting solution that aligns perfectly with your goals and ensures a smooth, secure, and efficient online presence.

Access control and rights settings via SSH/SFTP are implemented flexibly. Control panels are supported: cPanel, DirectAdmin, ISPmanager. Redis, Memcached, and Varnish caching systems are enabled by default on advanced plans. For working with content — LAMP/LEMP stacks, Apache, NGINX, PHP-FPM, MySQL, MariaDB. And all this is easily connected to a CMS, including WordPress.

In AEserver, you can register a domain in the zone.ae, get a free domain when activating the tariff, connect business mail, transfer the site from another hosting without downtime.

Support works 24/7 through the ticket system — quickly, to the point, with attention to the technical essence.

This is an opportunity to scale a startup in Dubai, comply with legal requirements, work legally and stably, without losing either speed or flexibility.

Top Hosting Solutions for Web Developers and Agencies in 2025: Windows Reseller Hosting Options

Choosing the right hosting solution can make or break your web development business. As we step into 2025, the demand for flexible, secure, and scalable hosting is more critical than ever, where competition among digital service providers is fierce. Whether you're a freelance web designer or run a full-service digital agency, understanding the best web hosting platforms can significantly elevate your service offerings, improve client retention, and boost overall satisfaction.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the top Windows reseller hosting options tailored for web developers and agencies. We’ll also explore affordable Linux hosting alternatives, white-label hosting solutions that empower your brand identity, and managed reseller hosting packages that save time and reduce technical overhead.

Why Web Developers and Agencies Need Specialized Hosting?

Web developers and digital agencies often manage multiple client websites, web applications, and databases, each with unique performance and security requirements. This makes standard shared hosting packages insufficient. They lack the customization, control, and scalability needed for serious projects. That’s where reseller hosting—especially Windows-based or managed solutions—steps in.

With Windows reseller hosting, developers can support technologies like ASP.NET, MS SQL, and Windows-specific applications, making it ideal for corporate clients. At the same time, Linux hosting remains a cost-effective and highly stable alternative for clients using PHP, MySQL, and open-source CMS platforms like WordPress.

Moreover, white-label reseller hosting allows agencies to sell web hosting services under their own brand, giving them full control over client interaction while the back-end is handled by a reliable web hosting provider. Managed hosting further enhances this by offering server monitoring, automatic backups, and 24/7 support—perfect for agencies that want to focus on design and development without worrying about infrastructure management.

In short, specialised hosting isn’t just a technical necessity—it’s a strategic business decision. Choosing the right mix of Windows, Linux, whitelabel, and managed hosting options can provide developers and agencies with the reliability, professionalism, and competitive edge needed to succeed in today’s market.

What is Windows Reseller Hosting?

Windows reseller hosting allows individuals or agencies to purchase hosting resources (disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, etc.) and resell them under their brand. These plans run on Windows-based servers and support Microsoft technologies like ASP.NET, MSSQL, and IIS, making them a perfect fit for developers building Microsoft-centric web applications.

Key Benefits of Windows Reseller Hosting:

Support for ASP.NET and MSSQL

Easy integration with Windows-based applications

Customisable white-label branding

Centralised control with Plesk or similar panels

Ideal for clients using Microsoft tech stacks

For web designers and developers, especially those serving enterprise-level or governmental clients, the compatibility offered by Windows reseller hosting is a huge advantage.

Cheap Yet Powerful: Budget-Friendly Hosting Without Compromise-

For many startups and freelance developers, budget constraints are a major concern—especially when launching or scaling a business in the competitive digital market. The good news is that affordable doesn’t have to mean limited. Today, the web hosting landscape offers a range of cheap Windows reseller hosting plans that deliver excellent value without compromising on performance, security, or support. Some of the most reputable UK-based hosting providers now offer packages starting as low as £5 per month, making it easier than ever to enter the hosting space without a large upfront investment.

Despite their low cost, these plans often come packed with essential features such as free SSL certificates for website security, 24/7 customer support, and free website migrations—helping ensure a seamless experience for both resellers and their clients. Access to the Plesk control panel provides an intuitive interface for managing client accounts, and white-label options allow webdesign professionals to brand the hosting as their own, maintaining a polished and professional client experience.

These budget-friendly reseller packages are especially ideal for web designers and digital freelancers looking to offer hosting as an added service. They eliminate the need for owning and maintaining physical servers while still offering all the tools needed to run a reliable, scalable hosting business.

Managed Reseller Hosting for Hassle-Free Performance-

For web developers and digital agencies who would rather focus on building websites than managing servers, managed reseller hosting offers a stress-free, professional solution. This type of hosting removes the complexity of backend maintenance by shifting the responsibility for server updates, security patches, backups, and general technical upkeep to the hosting provider. It’s a smart choice for those looking to scale their business without being bogged down by infrastructure concerns.

With managed plans, you get access to critical features that ensure consistent and high-performing service. These often include regular automatic backups, advanced security monitoring, and malware protection, helping protect your client data and websites from threats around the clock. Web hosting providers also offer pre-installed software stacks, so you don’t have to spend hours configuring environments for CMS platforms or frameworks. Hosting on UK-optimised server locations guarantees fast loading times and improved SEO performance for your local clients, while 99.9% uptime guarantees ensure that their websites remain accessible at all times.

By choosing managed reseller hosting, UK-based freelancers and agencies can provide reliable, high-quality service to their clients without the added operational burden. It’s the perfect solution for professionals who want to grow their business with confidence and minimal technical distractions.

White-Label Hosting: Branding Under Your Name-

In 2025, brand credibility and consistency are more important than ever—especially in the highly competitive digital market. For web agencies and freelance developers, white-label reseller hosting presents a powerful opportunity to deliver hosting services under their own brand name. Whether you're using Windows reseller hosting or Linux reseller hosting, most top-tier web hosting providers now offer robust customisation tools that let you completely rebrand the hosting experience for your clients.

Key white-label features often include customised nameservers, branded client control panels, and personalised email templates—all designed to make your web hosting service appear fully independent and professionally managed. This level of control not only enhances your brand image but also strengthens client trust, as customers perceive they are dealing directly with your agency rather than a third-party provider.

For digital agencies and web designers looking to scale their offerings, white-label hosting is a game-changer. It enables you to provide a seamless, branded experience across all touchpoints while maintaining full control over pricing, support, and customer relationships. Ultimately, it helps improve client retention, boosts your professional reputation, and positions your business as a complete solution provider in the growing digital economy.

Linux vs. Windows Reseller Hosting: Which One is Better for Agencies?

Both Linux and Windows reseller hosting have their pros and cons. While Windows hosting supports ASP.NET and other Microsoft technologies, Linux hosting is known for its speed, open-source compatibility, and affordability.

When to Choose Linux Reseller Hosting:

You primarily use PHP, MySQL, or WordPress

You need cheap and fast hosting

You want a cPanel-based environment

When to Choose Windows Reseller Hosting:

You develop in ASP.NET or .NET Core
