Hosting and Application Management

We set up the servers your website or application runs on, deploy it, configure hosting and environments, and keep it updated, monitored and supported afterwards, for WordPress sites, online stores and custom web applications. One team looks after the code and the place it runs, so nothing falls between a developer and a hosting company.

For a WordPress site that only needs updates, backups and monitoring, a WordPress care plan is simpler. If your site is down right now, go to emergency help.

What does hosting and application management cover?

Five things, from first setup to everyday running. Server infrastructure setup: the server or platform your site or app needs, sized for it. Application deployment: getting your code live reliably, and the same way every time. Hosting and environment configuration: domains, SSL, email records and separate staging and production environments. Application updates and maintenance. And monitoring, troubleshooting and ongoing support once it is live.

Can you work with the hosting we already have?

Usually, yes. We start by looking at where your site or app runs now and what is going wrong, if anything. Sometimes the right answer is to configure the current hosting properly, which can include DNS, caching and a firewall through Cloudflare setup; sometimes it is to move. Either way, you get a recommendation with the reasons before anything changes. If the site itself is being built or rebuilt, that is our web development work.

How are updates and deployments handled?

Changes are tried on a staging copy before they reach the live site or app, and deployments follow the same written steps every time, so a release does not depend on someone remembering what they did last month. If an update causes a problem, there is a way back.

What happens when something goes wrong?

Monitoring tells us when the site or app stops responding or behaves unusually, and we troubleshoot from the server and the application together, because the cause is often in one while the symptom shows in the other. Where the cause is an attack or a compromised site, firewall and malware scanning with Wordfence is part of the response. You get a plain explanation of what happened and what was changed.

How is hosting and application management priced?

Setup and migration work is fixed-quoted before it starts. Ongoing management is quoted for what your site or app needs; for a WordPress site, the care plans start from $159/mo. You see the quote before anything is committed.

Questions about hosting and application management

Do you host websites yourselves?

Our own managed WordPress hosting is coming soon. Until then we set up, configure and manage hosting for you, on a platform chosen for your site or app.

Is this only for WordPress?

No. We also deploy and manage online stores and custom web applications. WordPress sites can use a care plan; other applications are quoted.

Can you move my site to new hosting?

Yes. We plan the move, test it on the new server first, and switch over when it is ready, with the old hosting kept until the new one is confirmed.

Will I still have access to my hosting?

Yes. You keep access to your accounts, and we document what was set up and how.

We design and build it properly.

Custom WordPress or Shopify on clean code you own outright. Every build ships fast, passes Core Web Vitals, and is handed over documented.

03

We automate the busywork.

Your site talks to the tools you already run: CRM, invoicing, email, stock. The repetitive admin stops being someone's job and starts running itself.

  • Stock and orders in sync
  • Alerts when something breaks
