Hosting & Ongoing Website Support

Enterprise-grade managed hosting
so you can relax.

Launch day is the start line, not the finish. We keep everything running so you do not have to think about it. Most of our clients do not have the time or the bandwidth to deal with their site, so we do all of it for them.

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.

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A slow site on a shared server, an out-of-date CMS, a backup nobody has ever tested, and a support queue that answers in three days.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.

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 probably do not know how to run updates, chase a conflicting script, or audit a plugin, and you should not have to. Sites evolve, and they break. When yours does, we look into it and fix it. We also keep the CMS and plugins current so your data stays secure. The time we spend figuring it out is not billed to you.

02

The fastest load times

We all hate waiting for a site to load, so why make your customers wait for yours? Many of our sites load in under half a second. Google counts load time as a ranking factor, which means speed pays you back twice.

03

Security and remediation

A powerful firewall, malware scanning, and remediation at no additional cost. If something gets in, cleaning it up is our problem, not yours.

04

Daily backups and one-click restore

Automatic daily backups of your site and database are built into every plan. One click takes a full snapshot, another click puts it back, so there is always a safety net before anything risky. Offsite and incremental options are available.

05

Staging, SSL, and analytics

A secure, dedicated staging area so changes and updates are tested without downtime. SSL set up and installed so the site is encrypted. Google Analytics or your preferred tracking, integrated for you.

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 sellsMany 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 cost?
Three plans. Free Site Basic Hosting is $50 a month and is only for our starter free sites, with updates billed at our hourly rate. Fully Managed Hosting for a static site is $150 a month and includes up to one hour of updates and changes each month. Fully Managed Hosting for the WordPress CMS is $200 a month and also includes up to one hour of updates and changes each month.
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.
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?
Many 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. On the fully managed plans a set amount of update time is included every month, and anything beyond that is billed at our hourly rate. We turn small edits around fast.
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.
