Web Hosting
Our managed hosting services were established to solve a common challenge: the performance gap between low-quality budget hosts and high-quality but expensive providers. We frequently found that clients’ sites suffered from slow load times and maintenance difficulties due to subpar hosting environments. To bridge this gap, we developed a high-performance hosting solution that combines premium server infrastructure with comprehensive maintenance at a competitive price point.
Our infrastructure is housed in major data centers and managed by leading infrastructure providers. By marrying enterprise-grade hardware with our proactive management, we ensure your website remains fast, secure, and consistently accessible, providing a stable foundation for your business without the traditional overhead of premium-only providers.

Managed Wordpress Hosting
What is ‘managed hosting’ and how does it differ from a standard hosting offering? With standard web hosting, a host sells space and bandwidth on their servers – everything else is left to the site owner. For Wordpress sites, that means updating plugins, themes, and the Wordpress core, and ensuring backups run. Not doing these things can leave sites vulnerable to being hacked or risking data loss. Yet many sites haven’t been updated or backed up in months or years.
With managed hosting, we host the site and perform these critical activities. We package these offerings because it ensures that we can offer highly secure and responsive servers, and that we can provide fast, high quality support when questions and problems arise. Instead of worrying about whether your site is updated or secure, you can focus on running your business while we handle the technical heavy lifting.
What does it cost?
For most sites, hosting is $10/month, payable annually in advance. For clients with multiple sites, additional sites beyond the first cost $5/month (there is no charge for additional domains pointing to the same site). Site resource consumption is dependent on several factors, so we will confirm rates once we review your particular site and traffic patterns.
We am able to offer such reasonable rates because most maintenance processes are automated and we have standardized our infrastructure. If individualized maintenance or testing is required, we can provide a custom quote.
What's Included?
Like your current host? Consider Managed Updates
In some cases, clients are happy with their current web host, but would like help with keeping their site updated, maintained, and backed up. In these cases, we offer Managed Updates, available for $8/month per site. We use a Wordpress management plugin to monitor your site, keep plugins, themes, and the Wordpress core updated, and take regular backups which can be restored if necessary. Your site remains hosted on the web host of your choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a risk in hosting my site with a small company?
This is a great question that I’m glad my clients ask. Every client, whether they directly update their site or not, should have an administrative login to their site. Wordpress is a widespread, open source platform – hand those credentials over to any other developer or web host and they can migrate your site over to another hosting platform. It is critical to have this access – what if you become dissatisfied with your current provider or the relationship sours? Without administrative access, your provider can hold your site hostage (and I’ve been involved in a few delicate negotiations of this sort for clients in the past – so it does happen).
If someone happened to us, the servers would still stay online as they are professionally managed by major server management companies and paid for a year in advance. Using a professional management company also ensures that someone is available to address hardware issues 24 hours a day;.
Do you host sites that you don’t develop or maintain?
Yes – however the site must be able to run a currently supported version of PHP and plugins and themes must be up to date and have no open security vulnerabilities. We’re happy to review and update your site (at our hourly rate) ahead of migration if it does not meet this criteria.
Do you offer refunds or am I locked into a year?
Although we require clients to pay for a year of hosting upfront, the amount is fully refundable.
Is there an uptime guarantee?
Yes – there is a 99.9% uptime guarantee. If the server your site sits on is offline more than 0.1% in any calendar month, your hosting fee for that month will be credited back to you.
Does the hosting cost include making updates or changes to my site?
No, it does not. Typically we bill such changes at my hourly rate, but we can also set up packages where clients pay a set monthly fee for content updates or new development. Contact us for details.
Do you host sites other than Wordpress?
Yes, absolutely. Please contact us to discuss your needs.
