Your website or application hosted, patched, backed up and watched from the outside, with restore drills that prove the backups work and engineers you can reach when something looks wrong.
Example status strip, 30 days
You want the site to stay up and stay patched without thinking about it, and one address to email when it doesn't.
Sound familiar?
You want managed hosting with clear lines of responsibility: who patches what, how backups are proven, what is monitored and what happens in the first hour of an incident.
Sound familiar?
What you can hold the work to, in plain terms.
Operating system, runtime, CMS and plugin updates applied on a published cadence, staged first, always with a way back.
Three copies on two kinds of storage, one off-site and immutable, and restore drills that measure how long recovery really takes.
Synthetic checks from several regions, certificate and DNS expiry alerts, and error and latency monitoring with context attached.
What changed, when, why and by whom, so audits and incident reviews start from facts rather than recollection.
Traffic, recovery and monitoring are designed together, so the people who run the stack are the people who answer the alert.
Traffic lane: DNS, an edge network with CDN, WAF, DDoS absorption and TLS 1.3, the application with blue-green releases and rolling updates, and a primary and replica database with point-in-time recovery. Recover lane: 3-2-1 backups (a snapshot for fast local restore, an off-site copy in a separate region and account, and an immutable copy under object lock), proven by restore drills timed against the recovery time objective. Watch lane: synthetic checks from several regions, certificate and DNS monitoring, logs and metrics, routed to an engineer who fixes the issue and records it in the change log.
The disciplines inside this service, and the detail we work to in each.
01
A move from your current host, planned like a cutover: inventoried, rehearsed, and reversible until you sign off.
02
Updates staged, tested and applied on a cadence, with end-of-life dates tracked long before they bite.
03
The 3-2-1 rule with an immutable copy, and drills that measure recovery against agreed objectives.
04
The front door configured with the same care as the application behind it.
05
Checks from outside the platform, alerts with context, and a written record of every incident.
06
Hosting that stays fast and right-sized as traffic and content grow, reviewed with numbers rather than impressions.
The platform follows the application, the team and the budget. Recovery targets are agreed for each system before anything moves.
| Platform | Fits when | How it recovers | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Managed WordPress platform | Fits whenA content site on WordPress with well-known plugins. | How it recoversPlatform snapshots, plus an off-site copy where agreed. | Trade-offLess control of the server; the platform's limits apply. |
| Containers on AWS or Azure | Fits whenCustom applications, several environments, frequent releases. | How it recoversInfrastructure rebuilt from code, and point-in-time database recovery. | Trade-offMore moving parts, worth it when releases are frequent. |
| Virtual private server | Fits whenOne application, a steady load and a tight budget. | How it recoversImage snapshots plus off-site file and database backups. | Trade-offOperating system patching is part of the job. |
| Your own servers | Fits whenData must stay on premises, or the hardware is already paid for. | How it recoversAgent backups to an off-site, immutable target. | Trade-offThe hardware lifecycle stays with you; we monitor and patch. |
Whichever platform it is, the domain, DNS and hosting accounts stay in your name.
Every stage ends with a document you keep and a gate you can check.
How the site runs today, what it depends on and what could break.
Exit gate: Every account, dependency and renewal date on record.
You receiveCurrent set-up and risk notes
Migration rehearsed on staging, then cut over with the rollback kept ready.
Exit gate: Smoke tests pass on the new host, with the old one still ready to take traffic back.
You receiveSite on managed hosting
Updates, backups and monitoring on a published schedule.
Exit gate: Every report shows what was patched, the state of the backups and any restore tested.
You receiveChange log and service reports
Findings from incidents and reports turned into fixes.
Exit gate: Each incident closed with a cause and a fix on the backlog.

A read-only review of where and how the site runs today, before anything moves.

Billed for the time used
Yes. It starts with the health check, so you know the risks before anything moves, and the migration is rehearsed on a staging address first.
An external check raises the alert, an engineer confirms it and works the incident, and you receive a written note of the cause and the fix. Engineers work Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00 ET, and cover outside those hours is arranged in the agreement.
By restoring them. A drill restores a recent backup into an isolated environment, checks it and records how long recovery took against the agreed objective.
Yes. Domains, DNS and hosting accounts stay in your name, and access goes to named engineers with multi-factor authentication.
Updates are tested before production, on staging where one exists, and key pages are checked before and after. If something still breaks, the update is rolled back and held until the cause is fixed.
When a site is a brochure that changes twice a year, plain shared hosting and a yearly check-up may be enough. If that is you, we will say so.
The domain and accounts are already in your name. You receive a final backup, the runbook and the change log, and every credential we held is rotated and handed over.
