Trade brief · Letting Agents
Quick, solid ground online for letting agents
NVMe hosting arranged around the way letting agency owners, lettings negotiators and managers of residential portfolios actually work — SSL included, the move handled for you, and people on support day and night.
The short answer
Letting agents need speed, uptime and the particulars of their trade — starting with availability that updates the moment a property is let, since stale listings waste everybody's time — from a platform that never asks them to hire a webmaster to keep it moving.
Hosting & Domains supplies exactly that: NVMe hosting behind LiteSpeed caching from a couple of dollars a month, with free SSL, a free move, mailboxes at your own name and a person on support at any hour.

Most letting agents run a site built around available properties, landlord service tiers, tenant information and a viewing request route. All of it rests on the layer beneath: disk speed, storage room, forms that send and mail that arrives.
Lettings turn over far faster than sales, so a site that cannot be updated the same day produces more wasted enquiries than genuine ones. Judge hosting with that in mind and most of the classic mistakes never occur.
Ask anybody in this trade about their worst afternoon online and the story runs: fielding a fortnight of calls about a flat that was let three weeks ago and never came off the site. This whole page is written to stop that.
The hosting specification for letting agents
Written down plainly, the needs come to this: availability that updates the moment a property is let, since stale listings waste everybody's time, landlord service tiers explained with what each level actually includes, tenant-facing information on deposits, referencing and repairs kept apart from the landlord pages and a viewing request form that captures move-in dates and requirements up front.
Every item here maps to something measurable — storage and caching behind the media, uptime and form delivery behind the enquiries, and a panel quick enough to update between jobs. Hold any host to that, ours included.
The response time visitors assume without asking
Visitors decide in seconds, usually on a phone, usually at the moment they were ready to act. Fielding a fortnight of calls about a flat that was let three weeks ago and never came off the site — that is the real cost of slow hosting, and no invoice ever itemises it.
Our stack works on that from every side: NVMe disks return database queries in microseconds, LiteSpeed serves cached pages before PHP has started, and image optimisation keeps large photographs sharp without the weight. The result is a site that feels immediate on a phone over mobile data — which is where your customers actually are.
From a bare name to a working site
In practice, sites in this field get built with WordPress with a lettings listing plugin, a landlord enquiry and valuation form and a tenant information section — each one a single click to install from the control panel, with no command line in sight.
Start smaller than instinct suggests. A tight site that gets the essentials right — landlord service tiers explained with what each level actually includes — beats an ambitious one left half-finished, and adding to it later is a plugin, not a rebuild.
Mail, trust and the small professional details
Trust is built out of small signals: the padlock in the address bar, a mail address that matches the website, and a site that answers every single time somebody looks. All three are standard — free SSL, mailboxes at your own name, and a 99.9% uptime target with monitoring behind it.
And when something eventually breaks — it does, everywhere — recovery speed is the difference: one-click restores from the daily copy, and a person answering at 3am who treats your problem as the job rather than an interruption.
Arranged around the way letting agents work
You should not have to think like a sysadmin — letting agency owners, lettings negotiators and managers of residential portfolios host here precisely so the site looks after itself while the real work gets done.
Mailboxes at your own name are part of the plan — mail is included, not sold back to you at the checkout.
- The certificate and the move across cost nothing
- NVMe drives with LiteSpeed caching in front
- Mail at your own name from the first day

Quick Start
Order placed to site online
- 1
Size the plan to the site you have today
Begin at the size you are. Even a compact plan carries a professional site for this trade with room to spare, and the tier moves up the moment traffic asks.
- 2
Start fresh, or bring the old site over
A new build is one click in the installer; an existing one is a single migration request. Both routes end with you live, and neither goes near a configuration file.
- 3
Publish it, then hand us the upkeep
Point the name, open the site on your own phone, then go back to the day job — from there, copies, SSL renewals and uptime monitoring run themselves.

Frequently Asked
The questions that come up most
How do we get let properties off the site promptly?
Automate it where your management software offers a feed, and failing that make marking a property let a one-click job from the dashboard rather than an editing task. Either way it has to be quick enough to happen the same day, since a two-week lag costs the reputation rather than only the calls.
Ought landlords and tenants to share pages?
They should not. They want opposite things: a landlord wants yield, management levels and fees, while a tenant wants availability, deposit terms and how repairs get handled. Split the navigation at the top level and each audience gets a site that answers them.
Will the renewal cost more than the first term?
No. The rate you order at is the rate you renew at, year after year. There is no introductory teaser here, so no second-year jump is waiting — the hosting line stays a fixed figure your accounts can plan around.
Where does the hardware physically sit?
The platform runs from a London datacentre with redundant power, cooling and several upstream carriers, with server-level caching in front that keeps cached pages quick for visitors anywhere. For most sites how the platform is built — NVMe disks, LiteSpeed, restrained account density per machine — counts for far more than where it sits.
