LiteSpeed web server, NVMe SSD storage, and a DirectAdmin control panel that gets out of your way. Host one site or twenty, with unmetered bandwidth and no surprise fees - from £9.99/year.
Most budget hosts still run Apache under the hood. LiteSpeed is a drop-in replacement that handles far more concurrent visitors on the same hardware, with built-in caching (LSCache) that serves repeat requests almost instantly instead of rebuilding the page each time.
For anything running PHP - WordPress, Joomla, a custom app, or a plain HTML site - that difference shows up directly as faster page loads, especially under traffic spikes.
Every DragonWebHost shared plan runs on LiteSpeed with LSCache included as standard, not a paid add-on.
Every page load touches disk - reading files, writing sessions, querying a database. NVMe SSD storage is several times faster than standard SSD for this kind of work, and isn't in the same league as the spinning hard drives some cheaper hosts still use.
It's the baseline on every DragonWebHost account, including the entry-level plan at £9.99/year - not something you have to upgrade for.
No paid add-ons for the basics. Everything below is included as standard, from the £9.99/year Starter plan up.
A fast, uncluttered control panel for managing domains, email, databases, and files - no bloated interface to fight through.
One-click installs for WordPress, Joomla, and 400+ other apps. No manual FTP uploads or database setup required.
Every account gets a free, auto-renewing SSL certificate. HTTPS is handled automatically, no certificates to buy or install.
Automated daily backups with self-service restore from the control panel, in case an update or plugin ever breaks something.
Choose PHP 8, 7, or 5.6 per domain, and switch instantly from the control panel without needing to contact support.
Unlimited email accounts and unlimited SQL databases on every plan, so growth never means an upsell.
Every plan includes free SSL, unmetered bandwidth, and 24/7 UK support.
