Secure Your Site: Simple Steps to Strengthen Website Safety
The biggest vulnerability for a website can often be the site itself.
It's crucial to use strong passwords and, whenever possible, enable Two-Factor Authentication for your accounts.
Additionally, installing Anti-Malware software can provide an extra layer of security. Always ensure that any applications you use, like WordPress, are updated regularly to protect against threats.
Managing a website can be tough, but we understand that. That's why we created Hippo Portal™ and Hippo Panel™ – to make your life easier when it comes to handling everything about your website.
Hippo Portal™ is your all-in-one solution for managing every aspect of your internet services with ease.
This user-friendly platform puts you in control, allowing you to effortlessly handle billing, domain names, email, and various website add-ons.
Hippo Panel™ offers an intuitive interface designed to simplify the management of all aspects of your website and hosting.
Whether you're installing an application or adding your SSL certificate, every task is streamlined for ease of use.
With our products, you have the flexibility to choose from monthly, annual, or 3-year billing cycles. And here's a great tip: the longer your billing cycle, the more you save. It's all about giving you options that fit your needs and budget.
ttDo these plans include a Site Builder
Our Site Builder is specifically tailored for beginners, offering an effortless way to launch a website quickly. It's exclusively available with our Hippo Hosting plans. If you're keen on using this user-friendly Site Builder, you'll need to select one of these plans.
However, all our hosting plans come with a fantastic feature - the Softaculous 1-Click installer. This tool provides you with a wide range of applications and site-building platforms, perfectly suited for your business needs. Plus, you'll also have access to the WordPress Manager, which simplifies the management of all aspects of your WordPress installation. Whether you're setting up a blog, a business site, or an online store, these tools make it easy and efficient. So, you'll have everything you need to create and manage a website that meets your exact requirements!
ttHow is this different from your Hippo Shared or Business Smart plans
On the surface, our products maintain the familiar look, feel, and functionality you've come to love. The real magic, however, happens under the hood — where it's just you and your server, no more competing for resources with noisy neighbours. Enjoy the luxury of having all the power to yourself, giving you the freedom to use it exactly how you wish.
ttWhat database system do you use for your hosting services?
Our managed hosting plans are powered by MariaDB databases, enhancing your website's ability to efficiently handle multiple complex tasks at once for smooth operation and increased versatility across functions or applications.
MariaDB's full compatibility with MySQL ensures familiar behaviour, commands, and data type support, while offering enhanced performance, additional storage engines, and unique features not found in MySQL. This makes it an excellent choice for robust database management in web hosting and enterprise applications.
For those opting for unmanaged plans like Hippo VPS, Hippo VPS Xtreme, and Hippo Dedicated, there's the flexibility to choose the database software that best fits your needs.
ttWhy should I choose this over a VPS plan?
Opting for a VPS (Virtual Private Server) means getting a powerful server at your disposal, but it's a bit like having a complex toolkit without a manual. You have the freedom to set it up exactly how you want – from installing the operating system to configuring the software. However, this flexibility comes with responsibilities. You'll need to ensure the server's security and manage any technical challenges that arise, all on your own, as our support team won't be available for assistance with VPS.
It's essential to have a solid understanding of networks to keep your VPS running smoothly and securely. If you're not a tech whiz, this might sound daunting, but don't worry! Our Business Smart plans are here to offer a perfect middle ground. Imagine having the muscle of a VPS combined with the user-friendly interface and comprehensive support of our shared hosting plans. It's a hassle-free way to enjoy powerful hosting without getting bogged down in technical details. With Business Smart, you get the strength of a VPS and the comfort of our supportive hosting environment – truly the best of both worlds!
ttCan I resell my webspace?
If you're looking to host multiple websites, our standard hosting plans might not be the perfect fit. But don't worry, we've got you covered! We offer special hosting packages specifically designed for web designers and developers who need to publish more than one site. With these plans, you can enjoy savings of up to 50% on all our products. Plus, if you're thinking of starting your own hosting business, our dedicated reseller plan is just what you need. It's all about finding the right solution for your unique hosting needs!
ttDo I have root access to the server?
Indeed, the Business One plan sets itself apart from our other managed options by granting you terminal access to your server. This added freedom comes with a note of caution: we cannot assume responsibility for any server outages that arise due to incorrect terminal use. It's a powerful tool at your disposal, but with great power comes the need for careful handling.
ttHow long does it take to set up a Business One Plan?
Each Business One plan is tailored just for you, with a server crafted to your exact specifications upon order. Due to this personalized approach, a Business One server isn't available for immediate use. The build time can vary up to 2-3 working days, influenced by your chosen server location and specific requirements. But don't worry, our dedicated Hippo Helpers are on hand to keep you updated every step of the way, ensuring you're never in the dark about your server's progress.
ttCan I have more than one domain name pointing to my hosting account?
We definitely recommend securing multiple versions of your business name as domain names. By parking these domains or using them as aliases, you significantly reduce the risk of someone else using your name and impersonating your business. Plus, all our packages include the option for multiple domain name parking, and our technical team is always ready to help you set everything up. It's a smart move to protect your brand and we're here to make it easy for you!
ttCan I upgrade or downgrade my hosting services
Upgrading your package with us is super easy! You can do it anytime through the Hippo Portal™, and we'll only charge you for the time you use after the upgrade. Need to downgrade? No problem, as long as your chosen plan has the required storage space. Just remember, we can't offer refunds for unused time in your billing cycle. If you're not sure what's best for you, just give us a call. We're here to walk you through the process and help you make the right choice.

All I can say is WOW (and that's a good WOW btw…)
I engaged Hipposerve for our site a little over 5 weeks ago, and all I can do is sing their praises—they have been truly phenomenal.
Professionally I know lots of web design agencies and have used various companies over the years, but for our latest project I decided to use Jason and Hipposerve off the back of glowing testimonials of a number of clients of mine.
And the service has been first class.
Given a very tight deadline, a bigger and more complex site than most and a high spec list, they absolutely smashed it – in 3 weeks…
Above and beyond my expectations.
Cannot recommend highly enough, only with I could issue 6 stars….

"Hipposerve simply took away all the hassle I was expecting with transferring my domain names. I have had some awful experience with other well known companies, but this friendly Hippo has restored my faith in hosting my own domain name. The service is excellent, and the transfer couldn't have been easier or more straight forward. Thanks so much."

I often get asked, “Is hosting included?”
The answer is yes, hosting is always included in our packages along with a free SSL, unless the client specifically wants to continue using their own provider.
It just makes life easier for our clients at the end of the day!
Although, when I first started the business I didn't offer hosting as I didn't have a supplier I was 100% happy with. I tried Site ground for a while which was fine until their support got hidden deep behind a wall of “find the help you need from our knowledge hub”. Some of my requests for help started to be denied as well unless I went for a higher plan. I wasn't best pleased.
I was therefore delighted to be introduced to Hipposerve I've used Hipposerve as Your Site Matters Ltd hosting supplier for more than 2 years now. My business wouldn't be the same without the knowledge that the brilliant team has mine and my clients' backs when we need support. The agency hosting service is excellent, and I'd highly recommend it to any of my fellow agencies out there.
So thank you, Hipposerve. You and the Hippo Helpers are awesome and appreciated 🙏

"I am the chairman of a small charity. Hipposerve advertise that they host charity websites for free so, having designed a website myself, I contacted Hipposerve and this was confirmed. Our charity has had to pay for nothing but the domain we chose to use. The service I have received from Hipposerve has been outstanding. The website I had designed needed to be transferred to the WordPress platform. This was done by Hipposerve absolutely free-of-charge and the website became live within two days of ordering the domain. My contact at Hipposerve has been quick to respond to email enquiries and has provided as much help as one could possibly expect. Who could ask for more?"

“Even though I pay a very small amount of money for my product, The Hippo couldn't help me enough, I wasn't made to feel like I wasn't worth his time, in fact i was flattered that even though a lower paying customer I was still given the individual customer care. He was really patient and helpful. Thanks so much for helping me to sort everything I needed. Best email service ever. I'd highly recommend Hipposerve to everyone, especially people who, like myself, aren't "tech savvy". Thanks again!”
