Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 54 other web hosts we grade
20i sells cloud web hosting on a platform that scales resources automatically, with a free CDN, daily backups and malware scanning on every plan. It also sells reseller hosting, managed WordPress, managed cloud servers, VPS and domains. Web hosting plans are priced in pounds with a discounted first month.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about 20i, taken from its own pages and our grades.
A hosting control panel, DNS and site migration are on you.

Best for UK-priced web hosting that scales on its own
20i sells cloud hosting that adds resources automatically, with a free CDN, daily backups and malware scanning.

- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
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.
- 5
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.
- 6
Security and backups
Plans include free SSL certificates, a web application firewall with malware scanning and automatic daily backups.
- 7
A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 54
That is against the other web hosts we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
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.

The report card
Best for UK-priced web hosting that scales on its own
20i sells cloud hosting that adds resources automatically, with a free CDN, daily backups and malware scanning. It's £10 a month at renewal for the first plan, after a £1 first month, and the jump to the top plan is £300.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Startup is £10 a month at renewal, around $13, between the $11 middle and the $19 dearer-quarter line for web hosts. The first month is £1. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial. The £1 first month is a discount, not a trial. |
| Features | C | Autoscaling, a CDN, backups, malware scanning and free migration. The entry plan hosts one site and 50 GB of bandwidth. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A hosting control panel, DNS and site migration are on you. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with WordPress, WooCommerce and Magento support. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who 20i is for
- Fits if you want a UK host with a monthly plan and no contract
- Makes sense if you resell or run many sites and want plans that scale
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a trial or free tier, as there is none
- Tight if you host more than one site, since Startup and Plan 1 allow one
- Pricey as you grow, because plans jump from £10 to £300 a month
- Watch out: prices are in pounds, and the page does not state refund terms for the £1 month
Good to know
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?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could not
- Servers kept running, patched and backed up for you.
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. 20i’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
