Small business website design, with the domain and hosting sorted
Hostlyx offers website design for small businesses in the UK: a site that brings in enquiries, plus the .co.uk domain, cPanel hosting and email it needs. Our website design services are delivered from Bengaluru and contracted through Zorixo Ventures Ltd, a UK company. You get a fixed written quote in GBP and renewal prices before you commit.
For a sole trader or a team of five, a website is one job among many. You want it to look trustworthy, show up when people search, and send enquiries to your phone. You do not want to learn DNS, compare hosting plans or chase a freelancer for a change to your opening hours. This page is for that kind of business.
We handle the whole bundle: the .co.uk domain in your name, hosting on cPanel, business email, SSL, the site itself and changes afterwards. Renewal prices for the domain and hosting are shown before you buy, so the cost of year two is no surprise. The design and build team works from Bengaluru, India.
Your contract and invoice come from Zorixo Ventures Ltd, a UK company, in pounds sterling, and you pay by card through Stripe. Because delivery costs are Indian, a small business can afford a properly built site rather than a template it has to fill in alone. You also get a team that answers for the site after launch, not just a login to a builder.
Why UK businesses choose us
Everything in one bundle
Domain, hosting, email, SSL and the website come from one place, so there is one bill to understand and one team to call when something is wrong.
No year-two surprise
Renewal prices for the domain and hosting are shown before you buy. Many big UK hosts discount year one heavily; we show what you will pay later.
Built for enquiries
Pages are planned around what customers need to decide: services, price guidance, the area you cover, reviews you already have, and a clear way to get in touch.
Affordable without being DIY
Bengaluru delivery costs let a small business pay for a designed, built site rather than spending evenings on a website builder.
A UK invoice
You contract with Zorixo Ventures Ltd, a UK company, invoiced in GBP. VAT is applied where it applies, and payment is by card through Stripe.

Guides for UK buyers
Questions people ask
How much does a small business website cost in the UK?
Published UK figures suggest £1,500 to £3,000 from a freelancer and £3,000 to £6,000 from an agency. We send a fixed written quote in GBP after a short call, and the domain and hosting renewal prices are shown separately so you can see the ongoing cost.
Can I trust a website designer based in India with my business?
You contract with a UK company, Zorixo Ventures Ltd, not an individual abroad. The quote is fixed and written, payment is by card through Stripe, and your domain, hosting and site are registered to you, so you are never locked in.
Do I own my small business website?
Yes. The .co.uk domain is registered with you as the owner, and the site, content and logins are yours once paid. If you ever move to another provider, we give you the domain transfer code and a full copy of the site.
Does a small business website need a cookie banner under UK GDPR?
If the site uses analytics or marketing cookies, yes: PECR requires consent before they are set. We add a banner that holds those cookies back until the visitor agrees, plus a privacy page for your wording. Our cookie checklist explains what applies.
When can I talk to the team if they are in India?
India is 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead of the UK. Mornings in the UK overlap the afternoon in Bengaluru, so that is when calls work best, and changes requested then are usually being worked on the same day.
