Your resources are not shared. Bare-metal Ryzen 9 7950X3D with dedicated vCPUs, ECC RAM, and NVMe RAID -- not a slice of someone else's cloud.
Over £330/mo of tools are bundled into every plan. CDN, WAF, backups, malware scanning, plugin updates -- no itemised add-on invoices.
Published scaling policy, defined resource allocations, no traffic overage charges. You know exactly what you're paying and what you're getting.
Engineers who understand WordPress, available when UK businesses need them. Not a first-line script-reader in a distant time zone.
20i runs on cloud infrastructure in UK data centres — a solid choice. WP Pro Host runs on dedicated bare metal: a Ryzen 7950X3D with 128GB ECC RAM and dual NVMe RAID 1, with no virtualisation layer between your site and the hardware. This provides more consistent performance under load and no shared-host contention.
Both 20i and WP Pro Host offer UK-based support with WordPress knowledge. WP Pro Host's support is run by the same team that operates the infrastructure — there's no separation between the people who answer tickets and the people who manage the servers.
20i does not publish a formal scaling policy. WP Pro Host publishes resource allocations, monitoring thresholds, and upgrade processes for every plan — so you know exactly what happens when your site grows.
Both offer multi-site plans and staging. WP Pro Host's Scale (10 sites) and Elite (30 sites) plans are purpose-built for agency use. The choice often comes down to whether your clients would benefit more from cloud flexibility (20i) or the performance advantage of bare-metal isolation (WP Pro Host).
