    The hosting gap

    Hosting should look after the site, not just rent it space.

    Small businesses and agencies pay premium prices for WordPress hosting, yet still deal with slow sites, broken updates, unclear support and backups kept on the same server as the site. AI tools that edit sites directly add new risk.

    AutoToast combines fair pricing, real isolation and off-server backups with an AI engineer that has to ask before it changes anything.

    • Priced below comparable premium managed WordPress hosts
    • Daily encrypted, off-server backups kept for 30 days, with one-click restore
    • Faster pages from built-in caching, image conversion, critical CSS and edge delivery
    • Problems explained in plain English by Tom, with fixes ready to approve
    • No surprise changes: every AI or staff action needs approval and is logged
    • One place for an agency to see the health of every client site
    • Free, resumable migration that leaves email and DNS alone

    Core capabilities

    Built around control, clarity and recovery.

    Isolated WordPress sites

    Each site has its own PHP settings, database user and resource limits.

    Tom, AI site engineer

    Diagnoses, explains in plain English and proposes fixes that go live only after approval.

    Site Tools control panel

    Files, databases, PHP, redirects, DNS, SSL, cache, logs, staging, SFTP, cron and Git deploy.

    Safe updates

    An automatic restore point is taken before updates, with rollback if something breaks.

    Security

    Malware scanning, firewall, IP blocking and security hardening.

    AutoToast Boost and CDN

    Caching, image conversion, critical CSS and edge delivery for faster pages.

    Agency workspaces

    Client workspaces, a health board for every client, team roles and website-only guest access.

    Accountable access

    Two-step sign-in, audited staff access and terms governed by UK law.

    How it works

    Free, resumable migration. Email left untouched.

    Who it is for

    WordPress owners who need operational confidence.

    • UK small business owners running a brochure site or WooCommerce shop
    • Web design and marketing agencies managing 5–100 client sites
    • Freelance WordPress developers who need staging, SFTP, Git deploy and logs
    • Growing online shops that have outgrown shared hosting and need a dedicated server
    • App builders who need a managed video-render server with an API

    Use cases

    Example scenarios.

    • A café moves a slow brochure site from a budget host to faster, cached hosting
    • An agency moves 40 client sites into separate workspaces with a single health board
    • A WooCommerce shop upgrades to a dedicated 8-core cloud server before peak season
    • A plugin update breaks a site; Tom spots the error and offers a one-click rollback
    • A hacked site is scanned, isolated and restored from a clean off-server backup
    • A freelancer tests changes on staging and deploys from a Git repository
    • A client gets access to their own website only, without seeing billing or other sites
    • A media site adds Boost Pro Plus to cut image weight and serve pages from the edge
    • An app builder buys a Render server and connects it to their app with an API key
    Portrait of Tom, the AutoToast WordPress site agent

    Meet Tom

    A WordPress site agent that explains before it acts.

    Tom reads a site's status, DNS, SSL, PHP, cache, backups and usage, then explains what is wrong in plain English and proposes a fix.

    Nothing changes on a live site until a person approves it, and every approval is recorded in an audit trail. Risky changes are designed to take a backup first. Deeper tools for files, databases, updates, security and speed are in beta.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will Tom change my website on its own?

    +

    No. Tom can read your site's health, logs and settings and prepare a fix, but nothing changes until you or a team member approves it. Every approval is recorded in your audit log.

    How are my backups protected?

    +

    Sites are backed up every day to encrypted storage kept separately from the server, and each backup is kept for 30 days. A restore point is also taken before risky changes such as updates. You can restore from your control panel.

    Is moving my site free, and will my email break?

    +

    Migration is free and can resume if it is interrupted. You preview the copy before going live, and only your website's A record changes. Your existing email and other DNS records are left alone.

    What's the difference between shared and cloud hosting?

    +

    Shared plans host 1 to 25 isolated sites on tuned servers shared with other customers, from £6 a month. A cloud server is dedicated to you, sized by CPU, RAM and storage from £10 a month, and can be resized later.

    Where are servers located, and who runs AutoToast?

    +

    Servers are in Germany and Finland. AutoToast is a trading name of Autothink Group Limited, registered in England and Wales (company no. 13994278), and contracts are governed by UK law.
