Hosting & Maintenance

Hosting and maintenance,
fully managed, so you can relax.

Launch day is the start line, not the finish. We keep your site up, fast, encrypted, backed up, and then we stay on it.

Fully managed means the changes, updates, security, backups, and fixes are ours, not yours.

Why hosting decides more than you think

Will the right hosting save your business?

It is the ground your house sits on.

We spend a lot of time talking about building the right website for you and your brand. The question almost nobody asks is where that site is going to live.

It is like building a house or buying a car. The house needs the proper ground and a real foundation. The car needs good tires and the right fuel to move. The site is no different.

Cheap hosting is a bill you pay later.

Our clients do not want their site to go down, to lag, or to get hacked, and frankly they do not want to think about it at all.

Save pennies on hosting now and you pay exponentially for it later. Cheap hosting means slow sites, lost sales, bad customer experiences, and at worst a security breach that can cost you the business.

The full breakdown of what budget hosting actually costs you: the hidden cost of cheap hosting.

Does it matter where you host? HELL yes.

What fully managed actually means

You never touch it. That is the whole point.

We do not take risks with our clients' design or code, and we do not take them with the hosting either.

Fully managed means the updates, the security, the backups, and the fixing are ours, not yours.

Your site will evolve through updates, and at some point something will break. That is not a failure, it is what software does. The difference is whether it becomes your afternoon or ours.

The payoff is not the server.

It is the phone call you never get. The morning you do not spend on hold with a hosting company. The breach that never happens.

Think of it as car insurance and regular maintenance tied into one, except you also get the fastest load times on the market as part of the deal.

Built somewhere else? Bring it over. We take on WordPress and static sites we did not build, on any host. We move it, we clean it up, and then we run it.

Done RIGHT

The site is up, fast, encrypted, backed up daily, and current. Changes go through a staging area before they touch the live site. When something does go wrong, it is found and fixed before you notice.

Done wrong

A slow site on a shared server, an out-of-date CMS, a backup nobody has ever tested, and a support queue that answers in three days. You find out something is broken when a customer tells you.

Every plan includes every feature in the table. Update time beyond what your plan includes is billed at our *hourly rate of $300, and we tell you before we spend it.

What counts as an update?

A quick fix, new copy, new photos, a new page, a design tweak. If we can handle it inside your included time, it is covered, and it is live in 24 to 48 hours. See how website updates work.

Running WordPress?

Core, plugin, and theme updates tested on staging first, malware protection, daily backups, and a real person when something breaks. See what WordPress maintenance covers.

What you get

What is actually included.

We spent years cultivating the best hosting solution we could find for our clients, then took it a step further and manage the whole thing for them.

01

Fully managed

You should not have to make changes, run updates, chase a broken script, or wonder if something is current. When something needs attention, we look into it and fix it. Your sites are backed up, and ready to recover in seconds. Time spent keeping the site healthy, and up to date is on us up to an hour each month for most plans.

02

Fastest load times

We all hate waiting for a site to load, so why make your customers wait for yours? Served with Cloudflare's Global Edge. Most of our sites load in under half a second. Speed is a ranking factor and a better first impression for every visitor, which means speed pays you back twice.

03

Security and remediation

Firewall, malware scanning, and cleanup are part of the plan. SSL is on from day one. If something hostile shows up, it is our problem.

04

Daily backups and one-click restore

Automatic daily backups of the site and database, with one-click restore for WordPress. Static sites are archived for each push. One click takes a full snapshot; another click restores it, so there is always a safety net before anything risky. Offsite and incremental backups are available when you want a deeper safety net.

05

Staging, SSL, and analytics

Dedicated, secure staging environments so changes are tested before they go live. Never risk a live site or user snafu. Encrypted traffic by default. Analytics are included such as Google Analytics or any tracker you prefer.

06

Enterprise architecture and CDN

Enterprise-level architecture and hardware tuned for performance and reliability, with Cloudflare CDN delivery standard on every plan. Enterprise-grade database solutions, optional uptime monitoring, and additional CDN and geographic options when you need to be fast everywhere at once.

Email authentication is part of this too, and it is the one most businesses have wrong without knowing. Here is why your emails go to spam and how to fix it.

Managed hosting is cheaper than the alternative.

Typical load time
Build it yourselfAssembling something comparable to what is listed above runs about $20,000 in setup, plus server and retainer fees north of $3,000 a month through a professional network administration service.
Speed sellsMost of our sites load in under half a second, and Google treats load time as a ranking factor.
One team, one numberThe people who built your site are the people who keep it running. Nothing gets handed off and nothing falls between two vendors.
A real humanEmail us and a person answers. No ticket black hole, no scripted first response.

At the end of the day your site needs to be up, safe, secure, and served fast to everyone who visits it. Get the hosting RIGHT and you stop thinking about it entirely.

Frequently asked questions.

How much does hosting and maintenance cost?
Three plans. Essentials & Security for a static site is $150 a month. Essentials & Security for the WordPress CMS is $250 a month. Both include 1 hour of content updates a month. Fully Managed Custom pricing is tailored to your software and hosting needs, with custom content update time and same day turnaround when possible. Every plan includes every feature in the table. The full breakdown is on our website maintenance cost page.
What does fully managed actually mean?
It means you never touch it. We handle the updates, the plugin and CMS versions, the security, the backups, and the fixing when something breaks. If your site goes down, gets hacked, or starts behaving strangely, we find it and fix it. There is no support ticket you have to file and no additional charge for the time we spend figuring it out.
Can you take over a site you did not build?
Yes. WordPress or static, on any host. We start with a free site review and tell you what the move will cost, if anything. Then we move it onto our hosting, clean up whatever the last person left behind, and put it on a plan. You send one email and we handle the rest.
What counts as a content update?
Anything we can handle inside the time your plan includes: a simple fix, new copy or photos, a new page, a design adjustment, menu and form changes, plugin and theme updates on WordPress. Email us the change and it is live in 24 to 48 hours. On the rare occasion something is outside the scope, we tell you and get you a quote first. More on website updates.
Do I have to host with you?
No. If we built you a static site, it is yours to host anywhere you like. Most clients stay with us because it is easier and because the difference in speed and security is not subtle.
Why not just use cheap hosting?
Because you pay for it later. Cheap hosting means slow load times, lost sales, poor customer experience, and in the worst case a security breach that can end a small business. Hosting is the ground your house sits on. Saving pennies there is expensive.
How fast are the sites?
Most of our sites load in under half a second. Load time is also a Google ranking factor, so the speed pays for itself twice.
What if I need a change made?
Email us. Every plan includes a set amount of content update time every month, and anything beyond that is billed at our hourly rate. We turn small edits around fast.
What if my site gets hacked or goes down?
We find out before you do, and we fix it. Firewall, malware scanning, and cleanup are part of every plan, and daily backups mean we can restore a clean copy in one click. You do not file a ticket and you do not get a surprise bill for the cleanup.
Are backups included?
Yes. Every plan includes automatic daily backups of your site and database, plus one-click restore from a snapshot. Offsite and incremental backup options are available if you need them.
