EnglishHow much does one.com UK hosting cost and what is included?
Updated
one.com UK advertises hosting from £1.99/mo, and that plan comes with a free domain for a year. The headline price is the entry point, not the whole story: the domain discount you see (for example .uk at £0.99 for the first year, or .com at £7.99 for the first year) is tied to buying hosting, and the AI website builder, Aida, is a separate product with its own 14-day free trial.
What the advertised price actually covers
The site's own summary is "Hosting from £1.99/mo with a free domain for a year." Read that as two separate promises:
- Hosting starts at £1.99 per month.
- A domain is included free for the first year when you take hosting.
The domain prices shown on the page (.uk £0.99 / 1st year, .com £7.99 / 1st year) are marked "Free with Hosting," which confirms the domain is bundled rather than sold at that price on its own. If you only want a domain and no hosting, the £1.99 hosting figure does not apply to you.
What is included beyond the hosting itself
The page groups the offer as "Everything you need to start making money online," and lists these tools as part of the package:
| Included | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Domain | Claim the domain that suits your business; free for the first year with hosting |
| Professional email | Email on your own domain, described as "always included" |
| Website | A professional site for a business, portfolio, or project |
| Online shop | Sell products, manage orders, accept payments in one place |
| Bookings | Let visitors schedule appointments and services on your site |
| Microsoft 365 | Email, documents, and collaboration in one place |
| Aida AI assistant | 24/7 chat support for choosing a domain, building and refining your site, and guidance as the business grows |
The email point is worth noting because it is stated as always included rather than as an add-on — a professional address on your own domain comes with the hosting, not as a separate purchase.
Aida AI Website Builder and its free trial
Aida is the AI layer behind one.com's services. According to the page, it works entirely through chat: you describe your idea, and it builds the site; it can also take an outdated website and modernise it. The page frames it as "more than a website builder" — a way to start, manage, and scale a business online.
The trial terms are stated explicitly:
- 14 days free
- No credit card required
- You can "describe your idea" or "modernise your website" to begin
One caveat the page itself raises: the tool "uses AI to generate content. Accuracy and legal compliance are not guaranteed." If you rely on generated copy for regulated or contractual content, plan to review it yourself.
How to decide whether it fits
Work through these conditions before buying:
- Do you need hosting, or just a domain? The £1.99/mo entry price and the free first-year domain both assume a hosting purchase. A standalone domain is a different transaction.
- Do you want email on your own domain? It is included, so factor that in rather than pricing a separate email provider.
- Do you need a shop or bookings? Both are listed as part of the platform, which matters if you would otherwise pay for separate tools.
- Do you want to test the builder first? The 14-day, no-card trial lets you evaluate Aida before committing to hosting.
- Check the renewal position. The page quotes first-year domain prices and a starting monthly hosting rate; it does not state what the domain or hosting costs after the first year, so confirm renewal pricing on the Plans & Pricing page before you commit.
If your goal is simply to get a business online with a domain, email, and a site you can build by chatting with an AI assistant, the advertised bundle covers all of it. If you only need one piece — a domain, or email without hosting — the headline £1.99/mo figure is not the right number to plan around.
