Hosting for Art Galleries
Web hosting for art galleries, done properly
Everything independent galleries, project spaces and dealers need to run a dependable website — speed, security and support included, hype and hidden fees not.
The short answer
Art galleries need hosting that delivers speed, uptime and the specifics of their trade — starting with exhibition pages with private-view dates that update on a rhythm — without demanding a webmaster to run it.
Our hosting ships all of it as standard — NVMe speed, LiteSpeed caching, free SSL and migration, domain email and around-the-clock support — at flat prices that don't jump at renewal.

Strip the design away and the site independent galleries, project spaces and dealers actually need comes down to current and past exhibitions, artist rosters, viewing rooms and visitor info — all of it standing on whatever hosting sits underneath.
Here's the industry truth worth planning around: a gallery's exhibition archive is its institutional memory — stable URLs for past shows keep press links alive and give artists' CVs something permanent to cite.
The failure mode is familiar: press coverage linking to an exhibition page that was overwritten, sending collectors to a 404. Good hosting exists to make that scenario impossible.
What art galleries actually need from hosting
Written down honestly, the needs look like this: exhibition pages with private-view dates that update on a rhythm, artist roster pages that link works, CVs and press, online viewing rooms for collectors who buy remotely and an archive that preserves every past show at a stable URL.
None of that requires enterprise budgets — it requires a host that does the fundamentals properly. NVMe storage covers the speed, LiteSpeed caching covers the traffic, included email covers the professional address, and daily backups cover the bad days.
The speed your visitors silently demand
The cost of slow hosting is invisible because the visitors it loses never complain — they just leave. Picture it concretely: press coverage linking to an exhibition page that was overwritten, sending collectors to a 404. No error message, no support ticket, just business quietly going elsewhere.
Our stack attacks that from every layer: NVMe storage answers database queries in microseconds, LiteSpeed serves cached pages before PHP even wakes, and image optimisation keeps heavy visuals sharp without the weight. The result is a site that feels instant on a phone on mobile data — which is where your customers actually are.
From blank domain to working site
For this kind of site, the proven stack is WordPress with a gallery/exhibition theme, a viewing-room page pattern and email on the gallery's domain — all installable in one click from the control panel, no command line required.
Start simpler than you think you should. A focused site that nails the essentials — artist roster pages that link works, CVs and press — beats an ambitious half-finished one, and the platform makes adding capability later a plugin, not a rebuild.
Email, trust and the professional details
Trust accumulates in small signals: the padlock in the address bar, an email address matching the website, a site that's up every single time someone checks. All three come standard here — free SSL, included domain email, and a 99.9% uptime commitment with monitoring behind it.
Behind the scenes, daily backups mean a bad update or an accidental deletion is a ten-minute restore rather than a crisis — and our support answers around the clock, which matters most at exactly the hours problems prefer.

FAQ
Your questions, answered
What is an online viewing room and do I need special software?
It's a private page of works with prices shown to invited collectors — typically a password-protected page with high-res images and an enquiry button. WordPress handles it without special software.
Should old exhibition pages be deleted after a show closes?
Keep them — move them to an archive section instead. Past-show pages accumulate press links and search authority, and artists link to them from CVs for years.
What does your 24/7 support actually cover?
Real people at every hour, and a scope that includes the practical questions — email setup, DNS, WordPress issues, restores — not just 'the server is up, ticket closed'. Pre-sales questions are welcome too; ask us something difficult and judge the reply.
Are backups included, and can I restore them myself?
Daily automatic backups are standard, restorable from the panel in minutes — files, databases or both, at 3am without a ticket if that's when you need it. For extra cover, you're welcome to run your own offsite copies alongside.
Will you move my existing website for free?
Yes — open a ticket with your current host's access details and we handle the whole move: files, databases, email and configuration, verified by you before DNS switches. The old site keeps serving until the new copy takes over, so visitors never see a gap.
Do you include email with hosting?
Yes — mailboxes on your own domain come with every hosting plan, with webmail, IMAP/POP/SMTP access and spam filtering. Standalone email hosting also exists for domains whose websites live elsewhere.
What happens if I outgrow my plan?
You upgrade in place — plan changes apply from your client area without migrations or downtime, and our range runs from small shared plans through VPS to dedicated servers, so growth is an account change rather than a new-host project.
