Hosting Someone Actually Runs

Server Space Is Not a Service

Most hosting is a rented slice of a machine and a login. The company keeps the machine powered. Everything that happens to your website after that, the software updates, the security holes, the backups, the contact form that quietly stopped sending, is your problem, and you usually find out about it when a customer calls.

We host differently. Every site on our plan has a person responsible for it. We watch it, patch it, back it up, and change it when your business changes. When something goes wrong at two in the morning, we are the ones who find out, not you.

We wrote about the difference in Server Space Is Not a Service, and about what the cheap plans really cost in Cheap Hosting Is Costing You More Than You Think.

What One Monthly Plan Covers

Domains, email, software, security, backups, and the routine edits you send us. One rate, one phone number, one person who knows your site.

  • Hosting on servers we run and watch around the clock
  • Routine content updates and edits, no hourly charge
  • Software and security updates, backed up first, then applied
  • Encrypted connections, secure logins, malware safeguards
  • Daily off-site backups of files and databases
  • Professional email addresses and domain management
  • Uptime checks every five minutes, all month

What's Included Every Month

Managed Hosting

What Managed Means Here

Four things happen to every site we host, every week, whether or not anything is in the news. Here is what each one looks like in practice.

Security

Holes Closed the Day They Open

Holes in the software behind websites are published every week, often with working attack code before a fix exists. When one lands, we block the kind of request the attack rides in on at the servers we run, switch off the feature it goes through, and watch for the official patch so it is installed the moment it is released. Our clients hear about it from us, not from an outage.

  • Encrypted connections, renewed automatically
  • Login protection and malware scanning on every site
  • Patches applied the day they are published
  • Every security advisory read by a person who knows your site
Backups

A Copy You Can Go Back To

Files and databases are backed up daily and stored off the server. Before any software update touches a site, we take a fresh copy, so an update that breaks something is rolled back in minutes instead of rebuilt from memory. If a plugin, a bad edit, or an attack takes the site down, we restore it and tell you what happened.

  • Daily copies of files and databases, stored off the server
  • A fresh copy before every software update
  • Restored by us, with an explanation of what happened
  • Your content changes are in the backup cycle the same day
Updates

Changes You Send, Updates You Never See

There are two kinds of updates. The ones you ask for: new hours, a new team member, a seasonal special, a price change, a page for a service you added. Send them in and they go live, usually the same day, with no invoice. And the ones you never see: the software under the site, updated continuously so it stays compatible with new phones and browsers and closed to the holes that get published every week.

  • Routine content edits included, no hourly charge
  • Software updates applied after a backup, never blind
  • The live page checked after every change
  • A note back to you when the change is live
Speed and Uptime

Watched Every Five Minutes

We ask every site we host for its home page every five minutes, all month. An outage is measured in minutes, and we are usually working on it before anyone notices. Pages are served from a global edge network that keeps a copy near the visitor, so someone in Rehoboth and someone in Wilmington both get the page fast, and a busy day does not slow it down.

  • Uptime checked every five minutes, all month
  • Pages served from a global edge network
  • Images compressed and caching tuned
  • Encrypted connections on every page

Switching to Us

Moving Your Site Without Downtime

A move happens in four steps, and your current site stays live until the new copy has been tested. Most moves finish within 48 hours of getting access.

01

Review

We look at your current site, host, email, and domain, and tell you what moves and what we would fix.

02

Copy

Files, database, and email are copied to our servers and tested on a private address.

03

Cut Over

The domain is pointed at the new copy. Visitors never see a gap and email keeps arriving.

04

Manage

From that day, updates, backups, security, and edits run under one plan.

Hosting Pricing

One Flat Monthly Rate

Managed hosting is one monthly plan. It covers the server, the security, the backups, the software updates, the email, and the routine edits you send us. There are no hourly charges for edits and no surprise charges when something breaks.

The same plan is what keeps a site we build working after launch, so most of our website design clients are on it. If you want the number before you talk to anyone, our cost article gives real prices for the build and the plan.

  • One monthly rate, in writing
  • No long-term contract
  • You own the domain and the site

What a Small Business Website Costs in Delaware

Signs Your Host Is Just Server Space

A four dollar a month plan is a hosting company with a few hundred thousand customers and a ticket queue. A site built years ago by someone who has since moved on is a site nobody is going to update. Both are up. Both look fine. Both have nobody watching.

If any of these sound familiar, the site is not being managed, whatever the invoice says. The fix is not a bigger plan from the same company. It is a person whose job is your site.

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

  • Nobody can tell you when the software was last updated
  • The contact form broke and a customer told you
  • A security email came in and nobody knew what to do with it
  • The person who built the site has the only login
  • Support means a ticket number and a wait
  • You pay by the hour for a change to the hours

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our services.

Everything the site needs to stay up and current: hosting, SSL certificates, daily off-site backups, security monitoring and patching, software updates, routine content changes, domain management, and professional email, all in one monthly plan. No hourly charges for edits and no surprise charges when something breaks.
Regular hosting gives you server space and a login, and everything that happens after that is your problem. Managed hosting means a person is responsible for your site: we apply the security updates, keep the software current, make the content changes, run the backups, and fix what breaks. You run the business and we keep the website running.
We close it the same day. When a hole in the software behind websites is published, we block the kind of request the attack rides in on, switch off the feature it uses, and watch for the official patch so it is installed the moment it lands. You hear about it from us, not from an outage.
Yes. New hours, a new team member, a seasonal special, a price change, new photos, a new page for a service you added: send them in and they go live, usually the same day, with no invoice. A full redesign or a new feature such as online ordering is quoted separately, in writing, before any work starts.
We ask every site we host for its home page every five minutes, all month, so we usually know before you do. If the site is down we are already working on it. With daily backups and a fresh copy taken before every software update, a broken site is restored in minutes, and you get an explanation of what happened.
Yes. WordPress sites, custom-built sites, and sites built by someone who has since moved on. We review the site first, tell you what we would fix, move it to our servers with no downtime, and manage it under the same plan as the sites we build ourselves.
Yes. We handle the entire migration: files, database, email, and DNS records. Your current site stays live while the copy is tested on a private address, then we point the domain at the new copy. Visitors never see a gap and email keeps arriving. Most moves finish within 48 hours of getting access.

Let us run the website while you run the business.

Hosting pairs best with our Delaware website design service: one partner responsible for the whole stack, from the server to the homepage.
