Hi-tech host, Itechost, would be an okay U.K. company to commit too if you're happy to pay slightly high prices. Its shared and WordPress hosting solutions are complemented by some less-common kinds of hosting; i.e., SHOUTcast and Icecast hosting.
Itechost has experienced steady business growth since its inception in 2015. This U.K. company claims to put customers first with its high-quality, reliable, and efficient hosting solutions. In addition to the usual web hosting, WordPress hosting, and VPS plans, this host also offers SHOUTcast hosting, Icecast hosting, and video hosting.

From an e-commerce perspective, the PCI-compliant servers mean you can accept card payments and process cardholder data with certainty of security.
The StackCache that comes with WordPress hosting packages speeds up the lading of content, pages, scripts, images, and other files, and RAID 10 helps protect you against potential disk data disasters.
Pricing and Support
Itechost’s Linux shared hosting packages are pricey, and you can pay for them using PayPal or your credit card in U.S. dollars, British pounds, euros, or Canadian dollars.
Monthly, semi-annual, and annual billing cycles are available, but (unusually) the pro-rata prices are higher for longer commitments. Although there is little or no incentive to sign up for a long stretch, you may nonetheless be comforted by the 30-day money-back guarantee that could get you out within the first month if anything goes wrong.
For self-support, Itechost’s knowledge base contains a good number of tutorial-style entries. Alternatively, you can contact the 24/7 customer support team by telephone, email, fax, live chat, a ticket system, or an online contact form.
