Who Are We?

Citygate Hosting are today one of the UK’s fastest growing domain name and web hosting companies and are the hosting branch of Capital Designs Ltd. The company behind us, Capital Designs Ltd had been providing web design since 2005 and is managed by Robert Cope. Together with a group of talented Linux administrators and developers, the idea of a low cost domain name company grew, instead of sourcing our domains from third parties. We soon developed a business model to offer UK and US based domains at the most competitive prices possible, and later began to offer domains names from around the world.

Today, Citygate Hosting offers domain names at the lowest possible prices and are seen as the one of the most competitive companies providing this low-cost model. Beyond domain names, Citygate Hosting also offers web hosting and web services to help anyone start their online web-presence; our Citygate Hosting Website Builder, a low cost website solution for the non-technical, make creating a website fun and easy; our Website Builder provides a simple, yet professional, interface for any business.

For clients who need professional web design services, please visit our design site, www.capitaldesigns.co.uk.
