About Denobulus

Web hosting that stays easy to understand

Denobulus is an independent hosting company for people and small businesses who want a dependable website, clear prices and a real person to talk to. We host WordPress and other websites, build and look after sites, and keep every product simple enough to explain in a sentence.

Why we started

Hosting without the fine print

A lot of web hosting is sold the same way: a low introductory price, a renewal that costs much more, and a checkout full of extras that turn out to be essential. Security and backups are often the first things to become add-ons.

Denobulus was started to do it differently. Every plan is published with its full price, including renewals. The things that keep a website safe, such as SSL, daily backups, a web application firewall and malware scanning, are included on every plan instead of sold separately. And when something needs attention, your ticket is answered by a person on our team.

How we run it

The unglamorous parts, done properly

Reliability mostly comes down to doing ordinary things well and every day. This is what sits underneath every plan.

  • Current, dependable infrastructure

    Plans run on NVMe storage with Apache and PHP 8.1 to 8.4, on servers in Dallas, Texas, USA, backed by a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

  • Backups you don’t have to remember

    Files, databases and email are backed up every day and kept for 30 days on a separate backup server. To restore, open a ticket.

  • Security that’s included

    Free SSL, ModSecurity with the OWASP Core Rule Set, nightly malware scans and isolated accounts come with every plan.

  • Practical, human support

    Open a ticket from the client portal at any time. Our team reads and answers every ticket, with priority handling on WordPress Scale.

The name

Why “Denobulus”?

The name was inspired by the Denobulans from Star Trek: Enterprise, and in particular Dr. Phlox, the ship’s doctor. Phlox was endlessly curious, calm under pressure and genuinely glad to help, which is not a bad description of what we want a hosting company to be.

It was a personal choice, and it stuck. The name is unusual enough to remember, easy to spell once you have seen it, and it suits the personality of the company: capable, friendly and a little different from the usual hosting names.

Denobulus is an independent company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed by Paramount, CBS Studios or the Star Trek franchise. Star Trek and related names are trademarks of their respective owners.
