Managed hosting that just runs.

Three tiers, real performance, daily backups, SSL included. Same builder who built your site runs the server it lives on. When something needs attention, you call me. No tier-1 support handoffs, no overseas help desk, no ticket queue. Just one number that gets answered.

Hosting and the developer should be the same shop.

An obvious arrangement that almost nobody offers, because most agencies do not know how to run servers.

When something breaks, the person fixing it should already know the code.

The standard play in this industry is: web agency builds your site, then hands it off to a hosting company you have never heard of. When something breaks, the hosting company says it is the developer's fault. The developer says it is the hosting company's fault. You sit in the middle paying both bills and getting nothing fixed.

I run hosting in-house specifically to solve this. The same builder who built your site also runs the server it lives on. When something breaks at 2am, there is one person to call, and that person already knows the codebase, the server config, and the database. Things get fixed instead of finger-pointed.

The other reason: I can configure the server specifically for the kind of site you have. WordPress hosting needs different tuning than a Node.js application, which needs different tuning than a static site. Generic shared hosting tunes for the average, which means everyone gets a worse experience than they could have. Custom configuration costs me time but improves your performance, which means happier customers and better SEO.

What is included.

Same standards across all three tiers. Larger tiers add more capacity, faster support, and additional features.

StandardAll tiers.

SSL certificate

Free, auto-renewing SSL certificates on every plan. HTTPS everywhere. The trust badge in the browser bar that visitors quietly check before they decide whether to fill in your contact form.

Daily backups

Daily on Basic and Managed, hourly on Pro. Backups are kept off-server so a server failure does not take your data with it. Restoration on request, no fee.

Uptime monitoring

Automated checks every minute from multiple locations. If your site goes down, I know about it before you do. Most issues get resolved before clients even notice.

Performance tuning

Caching, CDN integration, image optimization, database query tuning. The boring foundational stuff that determines whether your site loads in 1 second or 5.

Cloudflare integration

DDoS protection, edge caching, faster page loads worldwide. Cloudflare in front of every site I host. Standard, not an upsell.

Email accounts

5 accounts on Basic, unlimited on Managed and Pro. Real email at your domain. Webmail and IMAP access. Spam filtering. Configured properly so it actually delivers.

Security scanning

Automated security checks, malware detection, file integrity monitoring. Suspicious activity gets flagged and investigated. Patches applied as needed.

WordPress optimization

For WordPress sites: object caching, page caching, image optimization, automatic core/plugin updates, brute-force protection. Configured per site, not generic.

Real human support

Standard support on Basic, priority on Managed, 24/7 priority on Pro. The same builder who runs your server answers when you call. No outsourced tier-1.

Pick the tier that fits.

Most business sites land on Managed. Basic for small sites, Pro for heavy traffic and complex apps.

The kinds of sites and apps I host.

Server configs are tuned per site. Yours might fit one of these or be its own thing.

Common typesCustom is normal.

WordPress sites

Tuned for WordPress specifically. Object caching, page caching, security hardening, automatic core updates, brute-force protection.

Hosting questions.

If your question is not here, just ask.

Can I host with you even if I did not build my site here?
Yes. I migrate sites from other hosts regularly. The Site Adoption service ($945) handles the takeover including code review, cleanup, documentation, and a 30-day support period. After that, the site lives on hosting and maintenance plans like any other client.
How long does a migration take?
Most migrations finish in a single evening with zero downtime. We set up the new server, copy your data, test everything, then flip DNS during a quiet window. You see no interruption.
What if my site outgrows the tier I am on?
Tier upgrades happen seamlessly. I move you to the higher tier when the data shows you need it (more traffic, more storage, more processing). Pro-rated billing, no migration drama, you stay on the same server with more allocated resources.
Do you handle DNS too?
Yes. DNS management is included. You can point your domain at my nameservers and never think about it again, or keep DNS at your registrar and just point A and MX records to my servers. Either works.
What happens if you are unavailable when something breaks?
Pro tier includes 24/7 priority support. For Basic and Managed tiers, I am responsive during normal hours, but uptime monitoring also alerts trusted collaborators who can handle critical issues. Most issues are resolved before you would even notice them.
What about email deliverability?
Configured properly with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records so your messages actually land in inboxes instead of spam folders. This is one of those things that everyone gets wrong unless they specifically know to configure it. I configure it.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. 30 days notice on hosting. No long-term lock-in. Full data export on cancellation, no fees, no drama. You leave with everything that is yours.
How do I save money?
Pay annually instead of monthly: 8 percent off. Bundle hosting with maintenance and SEO into an Everything plan: deeper savings. The convenience plus the discount usually beats assembling the same pieces from separate vendors.

Often paired with hosting.

Most clients pull from a few of these at once.
