Managed Website Hosting
Your website moved, kept online, backed up and up to date by engineers, so you do not have to think about it.
Most small business websites sit on cheap shared hosting that nobody watches. Certificates lapse, plugins go out of date, backups are never tested, and the first sign of trouble is a customer saying the site is down. We take over from your old host or developer, move the site for you, then host it, keep it updated and backed up, and get an alert before you would notice a problem.
From €25 a month excl. VAT
Month to month, no contract
What you get
- A free move from your old host for a standard website
- Daily backups, with restores we have actually tested
- Hosting with an SSL certificate (the padlock), renewed automatically
- Uptime monitoring, so we know if your site goes down
- Security updates for the server and your website software
- Your email kept working, and protected against fake emails in your name
- A short monthly report: uptime, backups, restore tests and updates
- Support from an engineer when you need one
No lock-in: leave any month and take your site and backups with you.
Who it suits
- Local business websites: Sites for shops, trades, hospitality and professional services that need to be up and trustworthy, not rebuilt.
- WordPress and WooCommerce: Sites where plugins, themes and the server all need keeping up to date, and where an out-of-date plugin is the usual way in for attackers.
- Booking and ordering sites: Where an hour of downtime is lost sales, and you want someone watching it.
- Small web applications: Node.js, PHP or Python apps that have outgrown shared hosting.
- Larger platforms: Container platforms (Docker Swarm or Kubernetes) with automated failover, infrastructure as code, monitoring and on-call, run in cloud accounts you own. Quoted per platform.
Moving from your old host
- Your email keeps working: Many websites share a hosting account with the business email. We check where yours lives before we change anything, and it stays where it is unless you ask us to move it too.
- Protection against fake emails: While we are updating your domain, we add the records that tell other mail servers to reject email pretending to be you, at no extra cost.
- Nothing closed too early: Your old hosting is cancelled only once the site and your email are confirmed working.
What we do each month
- Watch it: Uptime and certificate monitoring, with alerts that go to an engineer, not a ticket queue.
- Keep it current: Security updates applied, with anything risky tested on a copy first.
- Back it up: Daily backups kept away from the server, and restores tested so we know they work.
- Tell you: A short email each month: whether the site stayed up, the backups taken, the last restore test and the updates applied.
How it works
- Free check
Run the free website check or send us your address. We look at how the site is hosted now and what state it is in.
- Quote
A fixed monthly price in writing before anything changes. Moving a standard website is free; a larger site gets a fixed price for the move.
- Move
We copy the site, test it on the new hosting and check your email is unaffected, then switch over at a quiet time so visitors do not notice.
- Looked after
Backups, updates and monitoring from day one, and a report each month. Contact an engineer whenever you need something.
Common questions
- What does it cost?
- From €25 a month excluding VAT for a typical small business website. Busy shops and web applications are quoted before anything starts.
- Is moving my website really free?
- Yes, for a standard website such as a typical WordPress site. Larger shops and web applications get a fixed price for the move, agreed in writing before we start.
- Am I locked in?
- No. It is month to month. If you leave, you get a full copy of your site and its latest backup.
- Can you move our email too?
- Yes, free for a typical small business when you move to us. We move it to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or another provider you choose, bring your old messages across and set up protection against fake emails. If you would rather keep your email where it is, moving your website will not affect it.
- Can you back up my site without moving it?
- Yes. Our website backup service keeps a daily, restore-tested copy of your site wherever it is hosted, from €10 a month.
- My site is on Wix, Squarespace or Shopify. Can you host it?
- Those platforms host the site themselves, so there is nothing to move. The free website check still works for them, and if you outgrow the platform we can talk through the options.
- Can you fix my site as well?
- Yes. If the site is broken, hacked or badly out of date, we quote a fixed price to fix it before or during the move.
