Hosting Services

Web hosting is the service that stores your website’s files on a secure server so visitors can access your website 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Think of your domain name as your street address and your web hosting as the building where everything is stored.

Our servers are monitored 24/7 and are housed in a fireproof facility with generator backup. There is a daily snapshot of the entire server which is housed off-site. We take website security seriously, and use proactive security practices to help keep your website safe.

Unlike many low-cost hosting providers, we limit the number of websites we place on each server. This helps ensure better performance, faster loading times, and a more reliable experience for our clients. This difference is especially noticeable with eCommerce or database-driven websites, which require more server resources.

If you already have a web host, we can work with them to launch your new website or help you move to our hosting.

Did You Know?

Web hosting and website maintenance are two different services. Hosting stores your website on a server, while maintenance keeps your website secure, updated, and running properly. Even the best hosting can’t protect a website that isn’t maintained.

FAQs

What's the Difference Between Hosting and a Domain Name?
Your domain name and web hosting are two separate services. Your domain name is your website’s address on the internet, while web hosting is where your website’s files are stored on a server. Your domain name points to that server.
Do I Need Website Maintenance If I Have Hosting?
Yes. Hosting and Website Maintenance are two separate services. Hosting stores your website, while Website Maintenance keeps it secure, updated, and running properly. Even the best hosting can’t protect a website that isn’t maintained.

We recommend keeping your website updated regularly to help protect it from security vulnerabilities and ensure it continues to perform at its best.

Can I Keep My Current Hosting?
Yes. You can keep your current hosting if you’d like. If we feel your hosting is affecting your website’s speed, reliability, or security, we’ll recommend moving it to a better hosting provider. If we maintain your website, hosting is included with our maintenance plans, so moving your website to our hosting is often the most cost-effective option. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
Can You Move My Website to Your Hosting?
Yes. We can usually move your website to our hosting as long as your current provider allows it. If you own your website and it isn’t built on a proprietary platform or DIY website builder, we can typically transfer it to our servers.

There is no additional charge for the website transfer. You simply pay for your hosting plan ($198/year for our Standard Hosting or $299/year for our Enhanced Hosting).

Will My Email Move Too?
It depends on where your email is currently hosted. If your email is hosted through a service like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, it will remain there and won’t be affected by moving your website. If your email is hosted with your current web hosting provider, we can usually move it to your new hosting account as part of the transfer.
How Much Hosting Do I Need?
For most small business websites, our Standard Hosting package provides more than enough storage and performance. If your website requires additional storage or resources—such as a large e-commerce website or a photography portfolio with hundreds of high-resolution images—we may recommend our Enhanced Hosting package. If you’re unsure which plan is right for you, we’ll be happy to help you choose the best option.
Can I Upgrade Later?
Yes. If your website grows and you need more storage, email accounts, or additional resources, it’s easy to upgrade to a larger hosting plan. We can help you determine when an upgrade is needed so you only pay for the resources your website requires.
Do You Back Up My Website?
Yes. Our servers are backed up daily with off-site snapshots to help protect your website data. If you are on one of our maintenance plans, we also perform additional website and database backups as part of that service.

If you are not on a maintenance plan, we offer a separate backup service for an additional fee.

We take backups seriously because having a backup is only useful if your website can be restored when needed.

What Is an SSL Certificate, and Why Does My Website Need One?

A SECURE SITE = HAPPY CUSTOMERS

SSL certificates encrypt information that is transmitted between your web browser and the server hosting the website. They help protect sensitive information, such as customer details and payment information, and are essential for e-commerce websites and online forms that collect personal information.

Today, SSL certificates are important for all websites—not just those that process transactions. Modern web browsers warn visitors when a website does not have an SSL certificate, which can make potential customers hesitant to continue. An SSL certificate helps build trust and gives your visitors peace of mind.

If you host your website with us, an SSL certificate is included at no additional cost.

What Is Shared Hosting?
Shared hosting means your website shares the resources of a powerful secure server with other websites. For most small and medium-sized businesses, shared hosting provides excellent performance at an affordable price. We intentionally limit the number of websites on each server to help ensure fast loading times and reliable performance. If your website ever outgrows shared hosting, we can help you move to a more powerful hosting solution.
Do You Only Host WordPress Websites?
No. While many of our clients use WordPress, we can host most professionally developed websites that meet our hosting requirements. If you’re unsure whether your website is compatible, we’d be happy to review it and let you know.
