Datasouth Managed ConcreteCMS Hosting review
A managed ConcreteCMS host for teams that want migration, backups and server oversight.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Datasouth Managed ConcreteCMS Hosting provides web hosting and managed server plans for ConcreteCMS and concrete5 websites. It is aimed at website owners, agencies and organizations that want managed infrastructure without handling server administration themselves. The service runs on the web and includes ConcreteCMS specialist hosting, free site migration and installation, daily server backups, managed updates and a staging server. Support includes phone contact, with same-day response times listed on the Web Hosting plans.
The plan range covers four monthly options. Web Hosting (Standard) costs £25 per month, while Web Hosting (Performance) costs £60 per month; both list ConcreteCMS specialist hosting, daily server backups, same-day response time and a UK datacenter. Managed Server (Standard) costs £120 per month, and Managed Server (Performance) costs £320 per month. Both managed server plans add a ConcreteCMS application uptime guarantee, anti-hacking security audits and server updates, CDN and DDoS protection, 24/7/365 server monitoring, and FTP and SSH access. Listed prices exclude UK VAT of 20%; non-UK/EU customers may be exempt.
Managed infrastructure is the main reason to choose Datasouth. The service combines monitoring, server updates, backups, security audits, firewall configuration, staging and migration support, while Git version-control integration supports development workflows. API integrations, payment gateways and CRM systems are also listed. ConcreteCMS sites that need staging and ongoing operational oversight are a natural fit, particularly when server administration is not part of the team’s remit. Buyers seeking a free plan, or a lower-cost hosting option without managed services, should look elsewhere. Standard web hosting is also more limited than the managed server plans for teams that specifically require FTP or SSH access, extended monitoring and the listed security protections.
