AWS, DONE PROPERLY
Serious infrastructure. A personal host.
AceMedia Host is managed hosting on Amazon Web Services in London, run through AceHost, our own control plane built on CloudPanel. It already carries Sheff.Events, TalkFuse, Uni-Carts and more. The same people design and run large EC2 estates for shops that see millions of visits. We’re opening it carefully: ten invited sites first, honest about what’s live and what’s still in the lab.
Media on a real CDN. Around 288,000 public files served from S3 through CloudFront, each site on its own media. hostname.
Deploys that can’t half-happen. Git-aware releases switch in one atomic step and roll back in one click.
Caching at every layer. Cloudflare at the edge, our own Redis page cache, Varnish and OPcache, with baskets and checkouts left alone.
An ops bot that never sleeps. Ace, our Discord bot, watches every server, database and deploy and reports back in plain English.
HOW IT WORKS
From first thought to first visitor.
Nine free beta places remain while we shape customer access with the first group of sites. New sites and existing sites need different routes; we’ll help you choose one, with more controls becoming available in the dashboard as they pass testing.
Create or import
Deploy from Git, hand over files and a database through an agreed route, or use our WordPress importer. We do the heavy lifting where you want help and test a moved site before DNS changes.
Run it with confidence
We look after the agreed infrastructure and updates, while you keep control of your site. Customer dashboard access opens after its isolation tests are complete.
ONE PLATFORM, YOUR SITE
Built around what you are building.
AceHost is the platform we build and run our own sites on. It brings hosting, deployments, performance and site care together, whatever the stack. Customer dashboard access will open separately, after we have tested site isolation.
Deploy with confidence
Git-aware releases that switch in one step and roll back in one click, for static sites, apps and CMSs alike.
Performance by default
Caching at the edge and on the server, CDN media and tuned runtimes, measured rather than guessed.
Media that can grow
Private file workspaces, optional share links and a separate view of your website’s media. See the media workspace →
People over tickets
A direct conversation about your site and a managed approach to performance and reliability.
SITES BEHIND THE PLATFORM
Real projects. Different demands.
AceMedia projects and client work keep AceHost practical. They show why an events platform, an online shop and a custom community should not be given the same hosting recipe.
EVENTS · SHEFFIELD
Sheff Events ↗
Event listings, maps and community features need dependable publishing and careful media delivery.

Uni-Carts ↗
A WooCommerce shop has product images, transactions and checkout pages that must be treated differently from public catalogue pages.

A custom map-led site reminds us that hosting extends beyond WordPress and that private media needs its own rules.

Here is the public picture, how to check your own server and what I did.- nginx or Apache: how to chooseNeither web server is better at everything. nginx suits proxying and lots of open connections, Apache suits sites whose owners need .htaccess. Here is how to tell which one fits your workload.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few straight answers.
Is the beta really free?
Accepted beta customers get three years of free hosting for the agreed site and resources. We will set out what is included in the invitation and agree any future paid plan before a charge applies.
What can you host?
Static sites and front ends, custom web apps and APIs, WooCommerce shops and WordPress. Tell us the stack, data and deployment needs and we’ll confirm the fit and the right setup.
Can an existing site move over?
Yes. We can deploy from your Git repository, take files and a database through an agreed transfer route, or package a WordPress site with our importer. We test the new copy before changing DNS.
Can partners offer hosting under their own brand?
Not yet. We are planning a small reseller pilot with branded customer portals, but those controls are not available now. Tell us what you need and we can discuss the plan.
Can invited customers create or import a site themselves?
Public signup is not open. We can create or import an accepted beta site with you now; invited customers will gain guided create/import controls when the customer dashboard passes its access checks.
THE FIRST CONVERSATION
Show us what your website needs to keep doing.
Tell us whether you are starting fresh or moving a live site, which platform it uses and the features people rely on. We will discuss fit, the onboarding route and the written allowance before offering one of the nine remaining free beta places. There is no public checkout or customer dashboard sign-in yet.
