Website Hosting & Maintenance
Your Website, Always Working
Hosting, security, monitoring, backups and small monthly edits — handled for you so you never have to think about the technical side of your website again.
What This Service Actually Does
Websites are software. Software needs ongoing care. Plugins go out of date, security patches need to be applied, SSL certificates expire, hosting accounts get throttled, and small bits of content drift out of date. Without someone actively maintaining the site, it slowly degrades — usually invisibly until something breaks.
Our maintenance plans cover the entire lifecycle of keeping a small business website healthy: secure hosting, daily backups, SSL management, ongoing monitoring, security updates and a built-in allowance for small monthly content edits. You don't get a surprise invoice every time something needs attention.
Why It Matters
An unmaintained website is the most expensive cheap thing a small business can own. A site that's been hacked, defaced or knocked offline costs far more in lost trust and recovery time than years of routine maintenance ever would.
Beyond the worst-case scenarios, ongoing maintenance keeps your site competitive. Speed improves. Content stays accurate. Small fixes get made the same week instead of piling up. Search engines reward sites that are actively maintained — and visitors notice the difference instantly.
Common Mistakes We Fix
- Treating the website as a one-time project and ignoring it after launch.
- Letting plugins, themes or the underlying platform sit on years-old versions.
- Hosting on the cheapest shared hosting available and never noticing the downtime.
- Letting the SSL certificate expire — and watching every browser warn visitors away.
- Forgetting to update hours, prices, services or staff and quietly losing customers' trust.
- Having no backup system in place when something inevitably goes wrong.

Common Questions
Is a maintenance plan really required?+
Yes. Every site we launch is paired with a maintenance plan covering hosting, SSL, security, monitoring and small monthly edits. It protects your investment and keeps your site healthy long-term.
What counts as a small edit?+
Text updates, swapping a photo, updating hours or pricing, adding a new service description, fixing a typo or refreshing a section. Larger projects — full redesigns, new pages, e-commerce additions — are quoted separately.
What happens if my site goes down?+
Monitoring alerts us automatically. In most cases we have the site back up before you ever notice. If something requires escalation, you'll hear from us directly with a clear explanation.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes — monthly with no long-term contract. If you decide to leave, we'll help you export your site cleanly. We don't believe in holding clients hostage.
Do you back up my site?+
Yes. Daily backups are included on every plan, with multi-day retention so we can roll back quickly if anything ever goes wrong.
