Hosting, Market by Market
Web hosting arranged for Spain
What genuinely differs when your order comes from Spain: the local endings we can register, what your card is charged, the distance to our servers, how tax applies, and which payment methods we still cannot accept.
Local Differences
Buying from Spain, point by point
This is not a template with the country swapped in. Each line below shifts with where you are ordering from.
Local domain endings
.es — all of these we register for you directly.
Prices in your currency
Figures display in EUR; the card is billed in USD. The conversion happens at your bank, which may add a fee of its own.
How far our servers sit
About 10–35 ms for the round trip. Indistinguishable from local. Moving the hardware inside your own borders would buy you nothing.
Support on your clock
CET/CEST, which puts your clock an hour in front of ours. First replies target 2 hours in English, day or night.
Local Endings
What your national ending costs
Figures taken directly from our live price list — no rounded estimates.
| Domain ending | Year one |
|---|---|
| .es | $11.99 |
| .eu | $8.99yours to register as an EU resident |

Unique to Spain
The detail that only applies here
Spain sits a little outside Western Europe's core at roughly 30 ms, which is still comfortably brisk for readers. We sell .es with no local-presence rule attached, so one can be registered straight away. The payment gap worth naming is Bizum.
Operating in Spain
Beyond price and ping
What running a site from here involves that no plan comparison ever mentions.
One country, several languages, one hosting account
A Spanish site is very often several sites. Castilian alongside Catalan, Galician or Basque is routine for anything selling into Catalonia, Galicia or the Basque Country, and a translation plugin roughly multiplies the page count, the database size and the number of URLs a crawler has to get through. That is a hosting question as much as a content one, and it is the usual reason a Spanish shop outgrows an entry plan sooner than its traffic would suggest.
Keep those language variants as subdirectories or subdomains on one account rather than spreading them over separate hosting: one certificate, one backup set, one place to clear the cache. Regional endings are not ones we register, but .es has no local-presence rule, so the national ending is open to you whenever you want it.
- A multilingual build multiplies pages and database rows long before it multiplies readers
- Hold every language on one account: one certificate, one nightly backup, one cache to clear
- .es registered directly, with no local-presence requirement to satisfy
At Checkout
What checkout accepts — and what it cannot
Where our supported methods differ from your country's habits — flagged up front, not discovered at payment time.
What we accept
Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards, credit or debit, issued in Spain or anywhere else, provided the card is enabled for international payments. Stripe takes the charge, so card numbers never reach our own servers.
Not supported yet
Bizum, which a great many Spaniards now reach for first. We cannot accept it, so a card is the way to pay us.

Asked and Answered
What customers in Spain want to know
Does ordering work from Spain?
Absolutely. Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards issued in Spain are all accepted, and provisioning fires automatically the second payment clears — no manual approval step, no need to be anywhere near the UK. Prices display in EUR so you can judge the cost; the actual charge reaches your card in USD.
Which payment methods are common in Spain, and do you accept them?
Here is the honest version rather than the sales one. Bizum, which a great many Spaniards now reach for first. We cannot accept it, so a card is the way to pay us. The one method that always works is a card enabled for international payments. Better to know that now than after an hour spent comparing plans.
How fast will pages load for visitors in Spain?
Our hardware runs in London, roughly 10–35 ms away. Indistinguishable from local. Moving the hardware inside your own borders would buy you nothing. For a first-time visitor pulling a cached page, the gap barely registers — an edge node near them can serve it. Where distance does show up is logged-in activity: the WordPress dashboard, a checkout, anything uncacheable, because each of those actions makes the full London round trip. Our infrastructure page breaks down what a CDN speeds up and what it cannot touch.
Will tax be added to an order from Spain?
An order placed inside the EU may attract VAT. Where it does, the amount is worked out and displayed at checkout before anything is taken, and nothing appears afterwards. Buying as a VAT-registered business? Put the number in and the reverse charge takes care of it.
Do I need a UK address to hold an account?
No. The company running things is British — UK Health Care Support Ltd, registered in England and Wales under number 15042717, verifiable on the public Companies House register — yet buying hosting involves no residency check and no business-registration check. An order from Spain processes exactly like one from London.
What happens if the plan doesn't suit me?
You have 30 days on hosting plans and 7 on reseller plans to change your mind. That is time enough to launch a real site and measure it against your own traffic rather than taking our numbers on trust. Not convinced? Ask for the money back. The one exception is domain registrations — the registry charges us the instant a name goes live, so those cannot be refunded.

Thirty days is enough to measure it against the audience you actually have. If the figures fall short, claim your money back.
