Introduction
EcoWeb Hosting is a small UK based web hosting company that has an emphasis on giving back to the environment by planting trees and other carbon offsetting measures.
Whether you’re aware or not, hosting websites and the internet in general is a massive contributor to global energy use and green house emissions, who knew running computers all day would consume a literal shit ton of energy.

Opinion and Breakdown
These WP plans are a bit different than the shared hosting because they’re specifically optimized to run WP.
Optimization WP Features:
- Staging environment
- Automatic updates
- Tailored caching for WP
EcoWeb hosting has built their own caching system with NGINX Edge caching technology to give your WP site a speed injection, you’ll also get access to malware scanning, and a CDN network for better speed and security.
To top it off each site is “containerized” and has access to dedicated resources, ensuring for better uptime, saftey, security, and speed.
You’ll also get access to automatic snapshot backups, which allow you to easily restore your site to a previous snapshot within the last 30 days.
EcoWeb Hosting also employs their own custom firewall, which helps to mitigate malicious attacks on your website.
Overall, we think these plans are good value for money. If you do need to host more than 3 websites, it does start getting more expensive but not outrageous as the unlimited bandwidth and generous amount of storage should make up for the higher prices on the Professional and Ultimate plans.
VPS Hosting
Eco Web Hosting delivers some really affordable VPS plans without any sneaky renewal fees.

What’s Included and Breakdown
- NVMe SSD storage
- Root Access
- No fair usage restrictions
- cPanel available (costs extra)
Plan | Price | Price with cPanel (5 websites) |
---|---|---|
Essential | £7.99/mo | £23.98/mo |
Professional | £12.99/mo | £28.98/mo |
Business | £23.99/mo | £39.98/mo |
Opinion
Overall, the plans are really good. If you’re running a high traffic website you’ll actually have unlimited bandwidth on these plans, as thats part of their plan and there are no fair usage policies.
The VPS plans are self managed, meaning you’ll have to update it and take care of it yourself. No managed packages are available at this point in time. You’ll also have choices of data centers throughout Europe and Asia.
One caveat of the plans is that cPanel costs extra. Their base plan starts at £7.99, but once you add on cPanel the price jumps to £23.98— which brings the yearly cost of the basic VPS plan up to £287.76 per year.
