Most small business owners don’t want to manage a hosting account. They don’t want to deal with control panels, SSL renewals, DNS records, or figuring out why their email stopped working on a Wednesday morning.
We handle all of it. Every hosting plan includes SSL certificates, offsite backups, 24/7 uptime monitoring, malware scanning, and direct technical support from someone who already knows your site. No ticket queues. No chatbots. No waiting on hold for an hour to explain your problem to a stranger.
We’ve been building and maintaining WordPress websites for small businesses and health professionals since 2001. Hosting is part of that relationship, not a separate product from a company you’ll never talk to.
The difference between our hosting and a self-managed plan is simple: when something goes wrong, you call us and it gets fixed. You don’t Google the error message, open a support ticket, and hope someone responds before your customers notice.
We’re always here to help. Book a quick call or send us a service request to get started.
Most of our clients don’t want to deal with the technical side of running a website. Updates, backups, security patches, uptime issues, that’s our job, not yours.
All hosting packages include SSL certificates, offsite backups, 24/7 website monitoring, and technical support. No long-term contracts. You own your files and can move your site to any hosting provider at any time.
Most small business websites with under 20 pages and moderate traffic run well on the Business plan. If your site publishes new content regularly, runs active SEO campaigns, or handles patient bookings and contact form submissions throughout the day, the Deluxe plan gives you daily backups and more server resources to handle the load.
SSL certificate. Every site gets a free SSL certificate installed and renewed automatically. Your visitors see the padlock, Google treats your site as secure, and you never pay a separate renewal fee.
Offsite backups. Full site backups are stored on a separate server from your hosting account. If a plugin update breaks something, a file gets deleted, or a server hiccup takes your site offline, we restore from the most recent backup. The Business plan includes monthly backups. The Deluxe plan includes daily backups.
24/7 uptime monitoring. We check your site every few minutes around the clock. If it goes down, we get an alert before you do and start working on it immediately. Most issues are fixed before you even notice.
Malware scanning. Regular scans catch threats early. If malware is found, we clean it and close the hole that let it in.
Email on your domain. Business email (you@yourdomain.com) is included with every hosting plan. We set it up during onboarding or migration.
Technical support from one person. When you call or email, you reach the same person who manages your site. Not a call center. Not a rotating team. Someone who knows your WordPress setup, your plugins, and your business. That’s the part you can’t get from a $5/month hosting plan.
No sales call required. Send the details and you’ll get a real answer within one business day.
You can buy a hosting plan for a few dollars a month and manage your own WordPress site. Plenty of business owners do. The question is whether that’s a good use of your time.
Self-managed hosting means you’re responsible for WordPress core updates, plugin updates, theme patches, security monitoring, backups, uptime checks, and fixing anything that breaks. Most small business owners do some of this for a while, then stop. Six months later the site is running outdated plugins with known security holes and nobody notices until Google flags it or a visitor sees a malware warning.
With our hosting, we handle every technical task tied to keeping your site online and secure. Updates, backups, monitoring, malware cleanup, email setup, SSL management. You don’t log into a control panel. You don’t troubleshoot errors. You call us and it gets taken care of.
The price difference between a self-managed plan and our annual hosting is the cost of having someone who knows WordPress watch over your site every month. For businesses that depend on their website for leads, bookings, or new patient inquiries, that’s not an expense. It’s the thing that keeps the site working when it matters.
We take pride in our work and the quality of our service. These web design company reviews from real clients reflect our commitment to delivering exceptional web design solutions.
Small business owners who had a site built by a freelancer or agency and now nobody is maintaining it. The hosting account is on autopay, nobody’s updating plugins, and you’re not sure what would happen if the site went down tomorrow. We take over, bring everything current, and keep it running.
Health and medical practices that need a website patients can trust on first visit. Therapists, chiropractors, dentists, and holistic practitioners whose sites need to load fast, stay secure, and not go down during a busy referral week.
Service contractors like roofers and HVAC companies that need their site up and working when a homeowner searches at 10pm with a leaking roof. Downtime during peak hours means a lost job.
Business owners tired of bad hosting support who are done calling a 1-800 number, waiting on hold, and explaining their problem to someone who doesn’t know WordPress from Wix. We pick up the phone. We already know your site.
Switching hosting providers sounds complicated. It’s not, when someone else does it for you. We’ve moved hundreds of WordPress sites from other providers without losing a single page, form submission, or email.
Give us your current hosting login or tell us who your provider is. We take it from there.
We pull a full backup of your site and rebuild it on our server. Every page, form, image, and plugin gets checked before anything goes live.
We point your domain to the new server during off-peak hours. No downtime, no broken links, no interruption for your visitors.
We keep a close eye on performance, email delivery, and form submissions for two full days after the move to make sure nothing slipped through.
Our Business plan is $250 per year and our Deluxe plan is $300 per year. Both include SSL, backups, monitoring, malware scanning, email, and technical support. We also offer a Hosting & Care package at $100/month that bundles Deluxe hosting with ongoing WordPress updates and one hour of website or SEO work. See our pricing page for web design package details.
Both plans include SSL, email, 24/7 monitoring, malware scanning, and technical support. The difference is backups and server resources. The Business plan runs monthly offsite backups. The Deluxe plan runs daily offsite backups and uses a higher-resource configuration for faster page loads on busier sites.
You can manage your own hosting. The question is whether you will. WordPress needs regular updates to its core files, plugins, and themes. Skipping updates for a few months creates security gaps and compatibility issues. If you don’t have the time or interest to stay on top of that every month, a managed hosting plan saves you the headache. We wrote about what goes into the real cost of a website if you’re weighing the numbers.
Yes. We handle the full migration, including staging, testing, and DNS switch. Zero downtime. The process takes 1 to 3 business days for most sites. You keep your domain name, your content, and your email.
We monitor every hosted site around the clock. If your site goes down, we get an alert within minutes and start working on it. Most issues get resolved before you notice. You won’t sit in a support queue while your site is offline.
Yes. Business email on your domain is included with every plan. We handle setup during onboarding or migration.
No problem. If you’re already using Google Workspace (or any other email provider you like), we keep that setup exactly as it is. Your email, contacts, calendar, and inbox stay untouched. We configure the hosting DNS records so your website points to our server and your email keeps routing through Google. Nothing changes on your end. You won’t even notice the switch.
No. Hosting is billed annually, but there’s no multi-year lock-in. You can cancel anytime, take your files, and move to another provider.
Hosting keeps your site online and secure. Website maintenance goes further, covering WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates, content changes, on-page SEO, and monthly performance reports. Our Hosting & Care package at $100/month bundles both.
Yes. Every hosting plan includes a free SSL certificate. We install it, configure it, and handle renewals so it never expires. Your site stays secure, your visitors see the padlock icon in their browser, and Google gets the HTTPS signal it expects for search rankings. You never pay a separate SSL fee.
