Headwall Hosting provides managed WordPress and WooCommerce hosting for small and medium-sized businesses. We handle the technical side: security, backups, updates, performance, monitoring. So you can focus on running your business instead of managing a server.
We focus on automation and monitoring, with a clear understanding of what SMEs actually need. Multiple backups. Automatic security patches. Log file scanning. Malware detection. The things that should happen automatically, do. The things that need a human eye, get one.
What we offer
Managed WordPress hosting: no cPanel, no DIY. We handle the server, the backups, the updates, the security. Your site stays secure and performs well, without you having to think about it.
Professional email hosting: custom domain email that actually works, with proper authentication and deliverability. Some clients prefer Gmail or Outlook; others want their own mail server. We support both.
Proactive monitoring: we watch your site 24/7. If something goes wrong, we fix it before you notice.
Technical SEO services: most websites look fine in a browser, but search engines see something quite different. We fix the back-end configuration issues that prevent your site from ranking. It’s often simpler than you’d think: proper heading structure, clean URLs, correct schema markup, internal linking strategy. The technical foundations that make a difference.
Energy responsibility: we only lease servers in data centres powered by renewables.

Paul has spent over 35 years building software: games, databases, manufacturing systems, and websites. He built Headwall Hosting because the big hosting companies weren’t doing WordPress right. They either oversell performance, skimp on security, or bury you in up-sells and complexity.
He works from Reading, based at Spaces co-working Greyfriars Road Wednesdays & Thursdays. He takes a straightforward approach: honest hosting, proper support, and the technical expertise to help small businesses maintain a solid online presence. When he’s not hosting sites, he works on technical SEO and custom WordPress development.
