.gov.uk Domain Hosting Packages

Whether your .gov.uk website is very small with a few information pages, or a more substantial site covering meeting minutes, announcements and official documents, it will need to be "hosted" on a web server. ActiveCouncil can provide you with web space on our own web server.

For more advanced server requirements we can work with you to select a suitable bespoke server package. Where a content management system is required we can act on your behalf to commission a WordPress site using a specialist WordPress hosting provider.
