Dental
Dental practice websites do more than display opening hours. They capture new patient registrations, manage appointment booking, and present CQC registration information to prospective patients. The hosting infrastructure needs to match the professional standards the practice upholds.
Patient contact data, booking information, and any clinical data stored or transmitted via your website is personal data under UK GDPR -- with the heightened obligations that apply to health data. UK data centre hosting keeps patient data within UK jurisdiction. We provide Data Processing Agreements for practices that require them.
Appointment booking integrations -- whether via Dentally, Software of Excellence, or a direct WooCommerce booking system -- generate API calls and form submissions that need reliable server response. A booking system that times out loses new patient registrations permanently.
CQC registration details, complaints procedures, and patient information must be accurate and accessible. Managed WordPress updates ensure the CMS and plugins stay current, reducing the risk of a security incident compromising the practice's online presence.
New patients predominantly find dental practices via "dentist near me" and "[location] NHS dentist" searches. Core Web Vitals scores directly affect local search positioning. LiteSpeed with UK-based origin delivers consistently fast page loads for local visitors.
Many practices serve both NHS and private patients with different information, pricing, and booking pathways. A fast, reliable site handles both journeys without the performance degradation that affects patient confidence.
A dental practice website that is hacked or serves malware damages patient trust in ways that take significant time to recover from. WAF protection, malware scanning, and automatic security patching reduce the risk of compromise.

Security
UK GDPR-compliant infrastructure with enterprise-grade protection at server and CDN level, on every plan.
Enterprise DDoS Protection
Dual-layer defence — our CDN absorbs volumetric attacks at the network edge; server-level protection blocks application-layer threats before they reach WordPress.
Web Application Firewall
Active WAF at both CDN and server level. Blocks SQL injection, XSS, and malicious request patterns automatically, with continuously updated rules.
Real-Time Malware Scanning
Continuous server-wide scanning detects infections the moment they occur. Automatic cleanup included — no extra charge, no waiting for a ticket.
Automated WordPress Hardening
Security settings are enforced automatically across every site: file permissions, wp-config.php lockdown, PHP execution blocked in uploads, XML-RPC disabled, and admin rate limiting — all kept in sync without manual intervention.
Login & Brute Force Protection
Server-level rate limiting on wp-login, automatic IP blocking on repeated failures, and CAPTCHA enforcement. Offending IPs are blocked before they slow your site.
Container Isolation (Enhance CP)
Every site runs in an isolated container. A compromised site cannot affect neighbouring accounts — no shared PHP processes, no shared filesystem access between customers.
IP Reputation & Country Blocking
Continuously updated threat intelligence blocks known malicious IPs at the server level. Country-level restrictions available where appropriate.
Vulnerability Scanning & Patching
Weekly scans across all WordPress installations identify vulnerable plugins, themes, and core files. Bulk update tools apply patches server-wide automatically.
Uptime & Keyword Monitoring
Real-time uptime monitoring with keyword checks — we know if your site goes down or serves unexpected content before your customers do.
All security features included on every plan — no add-ons, no upgrades required.
