Reliable and supported hosting for Schools & MATs
Reliable Website Hosting for Schools
A school website is often the first place parents look for term dates, policies, contact details, admissions information and emergency updates. It needs to be available, easy to manage and protected from common online threats.
Our managed website hosting service provides your school with a secure and professionally maintained hosting environment. We monitor the platform, manage updates, maintain backups and help resolve technical issues before they disrupt staff or visitors.
What Is Included with Managed School Website Hosting?
NEW: Policy Compliance and Management Plugin
We developed a bespoke WordPress plugin for multi-academy trusts, enabling policies to be managed centrally, synchronised across every school website and regularly reviewed to prevent outdated documents remaining online.
UK-Based Managed Hosting
Your school website is hosted on professionally managed UK infrastructure designed for reliability, performance and security.
Our team manages the underlying server environment, so your school does not need to maintain hosting software, security settings or server updates internally.
WordPress Maintenance and Updates
Outdated WordPress software, themes and plugins can introduce security and compatibility problems.
We manage routine WordPress updates, monitor for issues and help ensure your website continues to operate correctly after changes are applied.
Daily Website Backups
Your website is backed up regularly to provide protection against accidental changes, failed updates, data loss and website compromise.
Should a problem occur, our team can restore the website from a recent backup and help minimise disruption.
Security Monitoring
School websites can be targeted by automated attacks, spam and malware even when they do not store sensitive pupil information.
Our managed hosting service includes protective measures such as:
- Malware scanning
- Website firewall protection
- Login protection
- Brute-force attack mitigation
- Server-level security monitoring
- SSL certificate management
- Security patching
Website Support For Schools
When something goes wrong, your staff should not need to contact multiple suppliers to determine who is responsible.
Our UK-based support team can investigate website errors, hosting problems, failed updates, security warnings and performance issues.
We provide straightforward support without expecting school staff to understand technical hosting terminology.
Hosting Designed Around School Requirements
School websites have different priorities from ordinary commercial websites. Information needs to be easy to access, policies must remain available and staff need confidence that important updates can be published quickly.
Our managed hosting service is designed to support common school website requirements, including:
- Statutory policy documents
- School calendars and term dates
- Admissions information
- Ofsted information
- Staff and governor pages
- News and announcements
- Emergency closure notices
- Parent resources
- Downloadable forms
- Accessibility tools
- Contact and enquiry forms
Secure Hosting for School Websites
Website security is an important part of protecting your school’s reputation and maintaining access to important information.
Our hosting environment uses multiple layers of protection to reduce the risk of website compromise. This includes server security, website firewall controls, malware scanning, software updates and monitored backups.
Where appropriate, we can also help your school improve:
- Administrator account security
- Multi-factor authentication
- Password management
- User access permissions
- Contact-form protection
- Spam prevention
- DNS security
- Cloudflare protection
No website can be made completely immune from attack, but regular maintenance and active security management significantly reduce avoidable risks.
Website Hosting for Multi-Academy Trusts
Globe2 can provide managed website hosting for individual academies or an entire multi-academy trust.
We can help trusts standardise their hosting, security and maintenance arrangements across multiple websites while still allowing each academy to manage its own content.
Benefits for multi-academy trusts include:
- Centralised website management
- Consistent security standards
- Consolidated support
- Simplified renewals and billing
- Standardised backup arrangements
- Easier onboarding of new academy websites
- Reduced reliance on individual website suppliers
- Support for shared themes and website templates
We can review your existing websites and recommend a practical migration plan that reduces disruption.
