SSD storage
Every account sits on solid-state storage in a US data center, so database queries and page loads aren't waiting on a spinning disk.
Simple web hosting, from $5 a month.
SSD storage, free HTTPS, email on your own domain, and one-click WordPress, all managed from cPanel. Dredge is a small, independent host, and the people who run the servers are the ones who answer your support email.
What every plan includes
Your own cPanel
File Manager, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, cron jobs, PHP version switching, and SFTP. It's the standard control panel, so there's nothing proprietary to learn and nothing to unlearn if you leave.
One-click installs and a site builder
Install WordPress and a few hundred other apps from Softaculous, or build a site visually with the drag-and-drop Sitejet Builder. No code or config files needed. More on WordPress hosting and the website builder.
Free HTTPS
Certificates are issued automatically for every domain and subdomain you add, and they renew on their own.
Email on your domain
Mailboxes, forwarders, and webmail for every domain on your account. Or point your MX records somewhere else; that's up to you.
Support by email
No chatbot and no outsourced first line. Your email goes to the people who built and run the platform, 7 days a week.
Plans
Three sizes, each with cPanel, free HTTPS, email, and one-click WordPress. Change plans whenever you like. Add automated daily backups to any plan from $7.50/yr. The pricing page has the full comparison.

What you'd pay elsewhere
Most big hosts advertise a low first-term price, then raise it at renewal. Here's their entry plan against Silt, from each host's own website.
Why "Dredge"?
A dredge clears a channel so everything downstream can move. That's the job here: get the slow disks, surprise invoices, and support mazes out of the way so your site can get on with it.
We're a small independent company. We run a managed cPanel platform in a Virginia datacenter and look after every account on it ourselves, so whoever answers your email knows how your account is set up. More about us.
