Pick your technology, then your service level
First the platform you run on, then how much support you want, so you never compare every card at once. Need your own server environment? That sits under VPS servers.

- —Major Laravel/PHP upgrades and new features: separate proposal
We assess your application first and determine which environment and management arrangements fit. You receive a proposal up front. Major upgrades, full code audits, complete performance projects and significant new features are not automatically covered by plan hours. Hosting resources, backup policy, monitoring, availability and SLA are defined explicitly for Laravel; we do not promise 24/7 human intervention or high availability by default.
What we do for you
Build, manage, integrate and improve — with an approach that fits each technology.
Manage
Hosting, monitoring, update checks, backups and support within an agreed scope.
Hosting quality →Improve
Performance, findability and ongoing development — with an approach per technology.
View plans →Moving to Brightness Hosting
For WordPress and WooCommerce the basic migration is free, with optional extra optimisation. For Laravel we start with a technical intake and agree the scope together.
One-off amounts, excl. VAT, for WordPress and WooCommerce. Not automatically applicable to Laravel.
Hosting quality and technical expertise
We describe what we do and where the limits are. Anything not yet decided is labelled as such.
No overselling
We match sold capacity to what is actually available. The exact definition and limits are set out on the quality page.
Clear resources
We make RAM, CPU and storage explicit per hosting type. Shared and reserved are not the same thing.
24/7 monitoring
Monitoring produces signals. What happens next follows from the SLA — it is not 24/7 staffed support.
Expertise per technology
WordPress updates and Laravel upgrades are different work. We treat them as such.
No domain name yet? Check it here.
Register a new name or transfer your existing domain to us. Domain, hosting and maintenance with the same team — and you always stay the owner of the name.
Draft pricing: these amounts are a proposal based on common registry rates and must be confirmed by Brightness Hosting before going live. Registry increases are passed on; we tell you before the renewal date.
Reviews and cases
Reviews of Brightness Group, the team behind Brightness Hosting, shown with source and date once the profile is connected.
We only show reviews that come from a real source, with a date and a link. We will not invent Laravel cases to fill an empty filter.
Need your own server environment? Managed or unmanaged.
Three configurations with your own settings and your own IP, managed or unmanaged. We first check whether a VPS actually fits your situation.
Managed monthly amounts excl. VAT; unmanaged rates to follow. How a VPS relates to an application or maintenance plan has not been decided yet, so we work with advisory requests.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between WordPress, WooCommerce and Laravel?+
A site with content and forms fits WordPress. Selling online with a cart and payments means WooCommerce. An application, portal or API with its own logic means Laravel. Not sure? Describe your situation — thinking along costs nothing.
Why are the plans annual?+
Maintenance works on a yearly rhythm: scheduled checks and improvements are spread across the year, so you pay one annual amount, excluding VAT. A Managed VPS does have a monthly price; that is a separate service.
Why is there no Laravel price?+
Because it has not been set yet. Applications differ widely in size and management needs, so we start with a technical intake and then send a proposal. We would rather show no amount than an amount that is wrong.
What falls within my working hours?+
The scheduled checks and the improvements that follow from them. Plus may include SEO/GEO work, Complete also performance work. Asking questions is free; we only book hours when we carry work out, and we say so in advance.
What is the difference between a managed and an unmanaged VPS?+
The hardware is identical: the same RAM, storage and vCPU. With managed we handle server management — operating system and service updates, security updates, monitoring, backup setup and support under the standard SLA. With unmanaged you handle that yourself and we do not support your server configuration. Unmanaged rates have not been set yet, so those currently read "Price on request".
Does an English site mean English-language support?+
Not automatically. The website is bilingual; which languages we offer in support and documentation is confirmed separately before we promise it.
