A two-minute hello from RichVideo coming soon

Website hosting you can talk to someone about

If you're happy with a hosting provider that's difficult to contact, charges more than you expected and adds surprise yearly fees, I'm probably not for you.

But if you want straightforward, honest website hosting with clear pricing and someone you can speak to directly, let's have a chat.

I'm based in Corby and host websites for businesses across Northamptonshire and the East Midlands, from Kettering and Wellingborough to Northampton.

Hosting shouldn't come with surprises

Sound familiar?

  • Unexpected £79+ yearly SSL and domain fees
  • Feeling like you have no ownership of your website
  • Unreliable or missing backups
  • Slow, impersonal customer support

A more straightforward approach

  • Transparent, predictable pricing
  • Free SSL certificates for life
  • Direct support from me, without a call centre
  • Fast, reliable hosting on a private server

I always advise to keep your existing domain and website if possible. There's no need to start again just to get better hosting.

Your website moves over, everything else carries on as normal

  1. A quick chat

    Call, WhatsApp or send a message. I find out where your website, email and domain live, so nothing gets missed.

  2. I copy and test it

    I copy your site to my server and test it privately. Your current site keeps running the whole time.

  3. I switch it over

    I make the switch at a quiet time, on a call with you if you like. Most moves go unnoticed by your visitors.

  4. You deal with me

    From then on, you have my number. No tickets, no queue, and the same person every time.

New to hosting? I'll set up your hosting, SSL and email from scratch, and explain each part in plain English as I go. Start here.

Richard has been nothing but outstanding from the get go, he has developed my website beautifully over the past few years and has really listened intently to every detail of how my business operates and what's involved In order to produce the most efficient and effective website for my business.

“Rich also helped me set up web hosting and email, making sure everything fit within my budget”

Read the full review

I recently worked with Rich from Studio Key on branding for my new business, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I absolutely love the branding he helped create, it's professional, eye-catching, and truly reflects the business. I've already received compliments from my customers! Rich also helped me set up web hosting and email, making sure everything fit within my budget, and suggested ways he could support me as my business grows. He was easy to work with, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Highly recommend!

Questions people ask before they move

Something else on your mind? Call me or send a WhatsApp.

Do I have to move my domain or email to you?

No. You keep your domain where it is, and your email stays put unless you ask me to move it. I only change the settings that point your website at my server. I never recommend moving a domain provider unless it saves you money.

Will my website go offline while you move it?

I copy your site to my server and test it privately first, while your current site keeps running. Then I switch over at a quiet time. Most moves go unnoticed by your visitors. Nobody can promise a move with no downtime at all, but I plan every switch to keep it short.

I've never had website hosting before. Can you help?

Yes. I'll set up your hosting, SSL certificate and email, and help you pick and register a domain if you don't have one. I explain each part in plain English as I go, so you know what you own and what you pay for.

What happens if something goes wrong with my website?

You call or message me. I keep a daily backup of your site off the server, so I can roll it back to yesterday if needed. Problems on my side, like the server or SSL, I fix at no charge. Changes or fixes to your site itself cost £65 an hour, and I tell you the cost before I start.

What if I want to leave?

If you're unhappy in the first 30 days, I refund your hosting fee in full. After that, give me one month's notice and I refund the unused full months. Either way, you get a full backup of your website to take with you, free.

Is £119 a year the full price?

Yes. There's no VAT to add, no SSL fee and no domain protection charge. It renews at £119 unless I write to you at least 30 days before any change. The only extras are domain registration, if you register a domain with me, and paid changes you ask for.
