Why FastCow

Hosting That Earns Its Keep, Not Just Its Invoice.

The honest case for moving to FastCow: the speed, the support, and everything other hosts quietly charge extra for.

Who we are

A Hosting Company, Not A Holding Company.

FastCow exists because managed WordPress hosting had drifted from the thing that actually matters: keeping sites fast and their owners looked after. We build and run our own platform, answer our own support, and sweat the details most hosts quietly outsource.

We’re deliberately small. The people who build FastCow are the same people who pick up when you need them. No call-centre scripts, no tier-one runaround, no ticket lost between departments.

Independent by design

Privately Owned. Self-Funded. Not For Sale.

No investors to answer to and no exit to chase. Every pound we earn goes back into the platform and the people who run it.

01Privately owned

No VC board and no outside shareholders steering the roadmap. The people who run the platform are the ones who decide where it goes.

02Self-funded

We grow on revenue, not funding rounds. When something ships it’s because it’s ready, not because a quarter needs to look good.

03Profits reinvested

Earnings go straight back into faster hardware, better tooling and more engineers, so FastCow keeps getting better for the people already on it.

04Never for sale

We’re building FastCow to keep, not to flip. Your host won’t quietly become someone else’s next acquisition.

Our technology

We Own The Stack, Top To Bottom.

From the metal to the caching layer, it’s ours, not rented, not resold. That’s how we tune it, fix it fast, and stand behind guarantees other hosts can’t.

Our Own Hardware

AMD EPYC compute and NVMe storage we buy, rack and tune ourselves, never a thin resale of someone else’s cloud.

Our Own Network

Traffic runs across a global network we control end to end, so we can route, cache and protect it our way.

Our Own Software

The control panel, the caching layer and the automation are built in-house, so a fix is ours to ship, not a vendor’s to schedule.

Real Migrations, Real Results.

I’ve been in the website business for 16 years and used dozens of hosts. I cannot express how fast this service is, and how helpful their support team has been. We’re converting all 6 of our servers over.

FCFred CamposCEO, DFW Website Designers

A breath of fresh air after our previous provider. Their team migrated over 250 client websites and resolved the few issues fast. The change in performance was noticed by our clients and our own team.

CWChris WilcoxDirector, Light Bulb Webdesign

Amazing onboarding and white-glove migrations. In an age of AI support bots, the FastCow team has been exceptional. Transparent pricing and direct access to real support.

Will migrating my site cause downtime?

No. Our engineers handle the entire migration for you and only cut over once the new copy is verified, so your visitors never see an outage.

What happens to my price at renewal?

It stays the same. The rate you sign up on is the rate you renew on. No introductory-offer cliff, and no add-ons creeping onto the invoice later.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Plans are month-to-month by default, you can export your site at any time, and there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee if it isn’t for you.

Do you really own your hardware?

Yes. We buy, rack and tune our own AMD EPYC and NVMe servers rather than reselling a public cloud, which is exactly why we can tune performance and fix issues directly.

Is my site backed up and secured?

Every plan includes automated daily backups with one-click restore, plus a web application firewall, malware scanning and free SSL, at no extra cost.

Independent, self-funded, and built to keep. See what that feels like to host with.
