Shared hosting for travel websites

A managed home for your agency, OTA, hotel or tour website: cPanel, free SSL, a LiteSpeed web server, daily backups and business email, at a fixed monthly or yearly price.

  • Free SSL certificates
  • LiteSpeed web server
  • Daily backups

Shared hosting pricing

Hosting the booking platform itself? Check the Requirements first: supplier APIs and search need more than a shared account.

Inside the account

One cPanel for domains, mail, databases and backups

Every account runs on a LiteSpeed web server with CloudLinux keeping it in its own lane, so a busy neighbour is less likely to slow your pages down.

  • LiteSpeed web server

    Faster rendering for destination pages, blogs and landing funnels, and a smoother visit on mobile.

  • CloudLinux isolation

    Account-level isolation reduces noisy-neighbour risk on a shared server.

  • Free SSL certificates

    HTTPS on every domain, protecting quotes, inquiries and booking forms.

  • Business email

    Mailboxes for reservations, sales and support with IMAP, POP3 and secured SMTP.

  • Daily backups

    Restore a full account or single files after a bad update or a deleted page.

  • Security layers

    Malware protection workflows and hardened access to reduce common website risks.
