## Ways to pay less

- **First month of web hosting for £1** (Other savings): Each web hosting plan is £1 for its first month, then returns to the listed monthly price. The page shows no end date. Source: https://www.20i.com/web-hosting

## Key features

- **Autoscaling resources:** The platform allocates resources across its whole network instead of one server, and sets PHP workers automatically. The page says there are no inode limits.
- **Free CDN and edge pre-cache:** Every plan includes a CDN with global edge pre-caching and no bandwidth throttling on the CDN, according to the plan page.
- **Security and backups:** Plans include free SSL certificates, a web application firewall with malware scanning and automatic daily backups.
- **Free migrations:** Sites can be migrated on demand, with the vendor stating no downtime. Migrations are listed as free and unlimited.
- **Data centres in three regions:** Plans can be placed in UK, US or Asia data centres. 20i's own 24/7 support team answers by ticket or live chat.
- **Twentie AI assistant:** An AI assistant is listed among the features of every web hosting plan.

## Good for

- Agencies and resellers hosting many client sites
- Sites with traffic spikes that would hit fixed server limits
- UK site owners who want a month-to-month plan with no contract

## Worth knowing

- Prices are in pounds sterling. The £1 first month applies to the first month only; after that the plan renews at its monthly price.
- Startup and Plan 1 host a single website; the Startup plan has 50 GB of bandwidth.
- Each step up the price ladder is large, from £10 a month to £300 a month at Plan 5.
- The page does not say how a plan is refunded or whether the £1 month can be cancelled before it renews.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace 20i you would be making servers kept running, patched and backed up for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 54 other web hosts grade higher. It costs $160.79 a year.

- You could not: Servers kept running, patched and backed up for you.
- You could not: An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
