sonraich hosting

managed VPS hosting from UK datacentres, run plainly, with clear prices and no lock-in. it will have its own section here when it opens.

one email when it launches. nothing else.

things people ask.

do you only work in the highlands?

no. most of the work happens remotely, wherever you are. i can visit sites across the highlands.

will i be able to edit the site myself?

yes. that is the point of the handover. you get a short guide written for your site, not a generic manual.

what happens if you're unavailable?

everything is documented, and the accounts, code and content are yours from day one. another developer could pick it up.

do you work with charities on a budget?

yes, i charge the real living wage which is £14.10 per hour as of october 2026
