Our story
Independent hosting, built for the long term
Ecenica began in 2004 with a simple aim: make dependable hosting easier to use and back it with knowledgeable, personal support.
More than two decades later, we remain a privately owned, independent UK hosting provider. We have grown from shared hosting and domain registration into WordPress hosting, managed virtual servers, business email and the tools customers need to run their services in one place.
Technology has changed dramatically since our first servers went online. Our approach has not: invest carefully, explain things clearly and be here when customers need help.
