Lower Your Costs
Your Site Hosted for Free
As a member of the Web design club, you get to host your own website for free on one of our Hippo Hosting Plans!
However, as a web designer, you will know the importance of having a fast, responsive website. This is why, we have an exclusive offer for Web Design Club members.
Host, your site on our Business Smart Success plan for just £16.75, normally £33.49!
Moving your email doesn’t have to be a headache. Ensuring your DNS is properly configured and all your old emails are safely transferred is crucial, but with Hippo Mail, you’re not alone. We’re here to help upgrade your email experience with our FREE email migration service, guiding you every step of the way. We’ll work closely with you to come up with a personalized plan and timeline that fits just right.
During the transfer process we :
Set up your new mailboxes with any additions you require.
||
Update your DNS so new emails come to your new mail boxes
||
Transfer your old emails and folders to the new accounts
||
Test everything works before we switch the service over.
'hipposerve' is your chosen element of the domain name, the core of your web identity; and
'.co.uk', a top-level domain (TLD), categorizes the site as commercial. Each part plays a crucial role in your site's online presence and brand recognition.
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.
It can be frustrating developing websites on shared hosting. Shared resources mean at busy times, your work rate can grind to a halt.
If you become a member of our Web Designer Club, we will set up a staging/development area on one of our high-powered VPS servers, so you can design and build at full power 100% of the time.
Making Website Management a Breeze
Introducing Hippo Portal™ and Hippo Panel™
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.
Upon subscribing to a new service, you'll be billed immediately for it. Afterwards, all your services will be included in one monthly invoice, streamlining your billing.
Services added mid-cycle will have their costs adjusted to match the existing billing period, ensuring a single bill moving forward.
Domain names are an exception, with their billing and renewal dates potentially differing from other services.
ttDo I have to use Hipposerve for my domain names?
While we highly recommend using Hipposerve for your domain names as it will make your administration of DNS and your account easier - plus they are great value, thanks to our special offers starting from just £0.99 for selected domains in the first year.
However, we understand the importance of flexibility. If you or your clients already have a domain registered elsewhere, you have two convenient options: 1) Transfer the domain to us for streamlined management.
2) Simply point the existing domain to our name servers while keeping it registered with your current provider.
Rest assured, our technical support team is ready to assist you every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process.
ttI am an existing customer, can I join the Web Design Club?
Certainly! If you meet the club's criteria, you're in. Even better, any existing plans you have with us will also enjoy the Web Designer Club discount, provided they're eligible.
ttAre alternative payment cycles available beyond the quoted monthly discounts?
Absolutely! You can choose from monthly, yearly, or even triennial plans, and the great news is your discount applies to all options.
ttAm I allowed to bill my clients the full amount for their web hosting services?
Yes, you are fully entitled to charge your clients what you like for their web hosting services. This approach enables you to seamlessly integrate hosting costs into your service offerings, ensuring that you can maintain the quality and reliability of the hosting services you provide. Plus, it adds another revenue stream to your business.
ttCan my clients have access to Hippo Panel?
Absolutely! Every panel comes with a unique login and password. If you wish, you can share these details with your clients, allowing them to manage their hosting services directly.
Plus, through your Hippo Portal, you'll have convenient access to all your clients' panels in one place, making it easier to oversee and administer the services as needed.
ttAre the websites backed up.
All websites hosted with Hipposerve are backed up with 5 day retention. If you have a client who requires a more robust backup schedule with 30 day retention, you can upgrade the plan with our Hippo Pro Tools — Site Management Silver Option, for just £11.99 per month.
All backups are encrypted and stored off site on our specialist cloud servers.
ttCan my clients have more than one domain pointing to their site?
Absolutely, and we highly recommend doing so. By pointing multiple domains to the site, either as parked domains or aliases, you significantly reduce the risk of someone else using a similar name to impersonate your business. This strategy enhances their brand protection and online presence.
All our packages support the parking of multiple domain names. Moreover, our technical team is on hand to assist you with the setup process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.
ttHow is my discount applied?
After joining our Web Designer Club and logging into your Hippo Portal, you'll instantly see all hosting shop prices adjusted to include your discount.

"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?"

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."

They host and provide elite technical support for four of my businesses within the private business and health sector and have been on hand to provide both incredible support since that time began. The best investment and asset, by far, I have to my portfolio of businesses. Thank you for the fantastic support, the ongoing premium service and helping me and my business grow from the ground up.

Hipposerve are a fantastic company to work with. They host our website and have also helped some of our clients with their hosting and website transfers too.

“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!”

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 had 54 email addresses with over 25,000 emails (nearly 20GB of data) that I wanted to transfer. Hipposerve worked with me to set the best possible transfer date, when things would be quiet and they worked through the night to ensure that everything was up and running by Monday morning. The new email system is far superior to our old one too. Thank you for your support"
