Managed Hosting Services
Managed hosting services take server upkeep off your plate: updates, backups, security patches, monitoring and performance tuning. We host on reliable cloud infrastructure and treat your site as a business system rather than a file on a shared server.
How we approach managed hosting services
Many business websites run on cheap shared hosting with outdated PHP, no tested backups and a control panel nobody logs into. Problems appear at the worst moment: a malware infection before a campaign, a slowdown during a sale, or a failed plugin update that takes the site down on a weekend with nobody to call.
We move your site to a properly sized cloud server or managed platform, with staging environments, daily off-site backups we periodically test by restoring, and firewall and malware scanning. Core, plugin and server updates are applied on a schedule after testing on staging. Uptime and performance are monitored, with alerts going to our team. We tune caching, PHP workers and database performance for your traffic, and set up a CDN where it helps. You get a monthly report covering uptime, updates, backups and security events.
- A phased roadmap tied to business goals
