A quick note about our hosting prices
We’re committed to keeping our website hosting fast, secure and sustainable, with UK-based customer support and daily backups to give you complete peace of mind. But as costs for electricity and licensing continue to rise, we’ve had to make some small adjustments to our hosting prices. Here’s a breakdown of the new rates which will take effect from your next renewal:
Yearly ‘Nebula’ Hosting (previously ‘Business Starter’):
From £100.80/year to £112.80 inc VAT (£94 + VAT)
Monthly ‘Nebula’ Hosting:
From £10.79/month to £13.19 inc VAT (£10.99 + VAT)
Yearly ‘Astro’ Hosting (previously ‘Economy’):
From £34/year to £66 inc VAT (£55 + VAT)
Monthly ‘Astro’ Hosting:
From £4.50/month to £6.95 inc VAT (£5.79 + VAT)
We’ve absorbed as much of the rising costs as possible to keep these increases minimal while maintaining the excellent service and sustainability of our hosting services. Your website will continue to be powered by servers running on 100% renewable energy, because sustainability matters to us, and we know it matters to you too.

Remember: we recycle old tech for free!
Got old laptops, tablets, PCs or other tech lying around gathering dust? We’ll happily take them off your hands and recycle them responsibly so that nothing goes to waste. Just bring your old devices to our office and we’ll take care of the rest – we can even wipe all the old files for you. You’ll be doing your bit to care for the planet while freeing up space at home or work – who doesn’t love a January clear-out?! Click here to check our opening hours and find out when we’re open.
Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond
We want to take this opportunity to say ‘thank you’ for being part of our world. It’s been a fantastic 10 years, and we’re excited to see what the next chapter brings for Black Nova Designs. We’ve made no secret of the fact that last year was a tough one, but we’re ready to make 2025 our very best year in business yet. Here’s to a productive and tech-filled year ahead!
