Hosting & Ongoing Support

Hosting with a person attached.

Fast, monitored, professionally managed hosting — with the difference that the people running your server are the same people who can fix your site, tune your store, and answer the phone. That's what support is supposed to mean.

The problems this solves

Hosting as a lottery ticket

01

Cheap shared hosting is fine until the site slows, gets hacked, or goes down — and then you discover support is a ticket queue reading from a script.

Nobody owns the whole problem

02

The host blames the site, the developer blames the host, the marketer blames both. Meanwhile your site is still slow and it's still your revenue.

Maintenance debt

03

Skipped updates and unpatched plugins are how sites get compromised. Most hacked sites weren't targeted — they were simply left unlocked.

No plan for the bad day

04

When something breaks — an update conflict, a compromise, a hardware failure — the difference between an incident and a disaster is whether backups, monitoring, and a capable human were already in place.

What you get

Everything handled. Nothing handed off.

Managed performance hosting

NVMe SSD servers tuned for WordPress, WooCommerce, and the sites we build — with server-level caching, HTTP/2, and free SSL certificates.

Security and monitoring

Around-the-clock uptime and security monitoring, malware scanning, firewall and CDN configuration (including Cloudflare), and hardening informed by real incident response — we've cleaned up hacked sites and mitigated live DDoS attacks.

Backups you can actually restore

Automatic daily backups, retained and tested. The question isn't whether you have backups — it's whether restoring them has ever been proven. Ours has.

Care plans and maintenance

Core, theme, and plugin updates applied deliberately, compatibility checked, small content changes handled — the upkeep that keeps sites fast and boring.

Consulting and troubleshooting

Direct access to senior people for the odd problems — a broken integration, a slow query, a strange redirect — and honest advice on technology decisions.

Domains and email

Domain registration, transfers, DNS, and email configuration through our customer portal — the unglamorous plumbing, handled.

Hosting is where “one accountable partner” stops being a slogan and becomes an operational fact. When the same team designs, builds, hosts, and maintains the site, there is no vendor triangle to hide in — if it’s slow, it’s ours to fix; if it’s down, it’s ours to restore. We’ve run hosting since 2017 with the mindset that the best support ticket is the one that never gets opened, because monitoring caught it first.

Retail / Legacy CMS Rescue

Dexter Mill

A long-standing Michigan retailer's aging Joomla website had become a security liability. We rebuilt it as a modern static site, moved it to hardened infrastructure — and when a DDoS attack came, the site stayed up.

Process

From first call to launch — and every day after

  1. 1

    Assess

    Current hosting, performance baseline, security posture, and backup reality.

  2. 2

    Migrate

    We move the site with rehearsal and DNS planning — typically zero visible downtime.

  3. 3

    Harden and tune

    Caching, CDN, SSL, firewall rules, and update baseline established.

  4. 4

    Monitor and maintain

    Uptime, security, and performance watched continuously; updates applied on a schedule.

  5. 5

    Support

    When you need something, you reach people who know your site — not a script.

Questions

Straight answers

Can you host a site you didn't build?

Yes. We'll audit it first so we know what we're taking responsibility for, fix anything dangerous, and then manage it like our own work.

What happens if the site gets hacked?

We isolate it, clean it, close the entry point, and restore from verified backups — we've done this for sites that came to us already compromised. On our managed hosting, the monitoring and update discipline exist precisely to make this an event we prevent rather than repeat.

Do you require hosting to build a site with you?

No — we'll deploy to your infrastructure if you have a good reason to keep it. Most clients choose our hosting because one accountable partner beats coordinating a host, a developer, and a marketer when something matters.

What's included in a care plan versus billed work?

Care plans cover updates, monitoring, backups, security, and small content changes. Larger changes — new features, redesigns, new integrations — are scoped and quoted separately, so plans stay predictable and you're never surprised.

Ask us to take a look at your current hosting — the audit is free.

Tell us what is working, what is not, and where you want the business to go. We'll help you determine the smartest next step — no pressure, no jargon.
