Managed web hosting for Austin small businesses

Secure hosting with SSL, backups and business email taken care of. When something breaks, you call a person who knows your site.

Why managed hosting

Cheap hosting is fine until your site goes down on a Saturday, your SSL certificate expires, or an email from the hosting company says you’ve been hacked. Then you’re in a support queue trying to explain a website you didn’t build.

Managed hosting means someone else keeps an eye on it. You run your business, and we look after the plumbing. We’ve been hosting websites since 2007.

What’s taken care of

  • Security certificates. SSL is set up and renewed so visitors never see a browser warning.
  • Backups. Regular copies of your site, so a bad update or hack isn’t a disaster.
  • Updates. Software and plugins are kept current, which closes off the most common ways sites get hacked.
  • Business email. Addresses on your own domain, set up so your messages reach the inbox.
  • Domains and DNS. Renewals and records are handled, so nothing lapses by surprise.
  • A person to call. You talk directly to someone who knows your setup.

Moving from another host

Moving a site scares people, usually because of email. Done carefully, it’s uneventful. We copy your site, test the copy, move your email records with care, then switch over when it’s quiet. Your old host stays in place until we’ve confirmed everything works.

Good hosting helps your search results

Speed, uptime and a valid security certificate all affect how people experience your site, and a site that’s slow or unreliable gives visitors a reason to leave. Hosting won’t win you rankings on its own, but poor hosting can quietly hold back a good site.

Common questions

Can you host a site you didn’t build?

Usually, yes. We’ll take a look first to make sure it’s in good shape, and tell you if anything needs fixing before the move.

Will my email stop working if I move?

It shouldn’t. Email is the part we plan most carefully. We check your current setup before changing anything, whether your email stays where it is or moves too.

Can I leave if I want to?

Yes. Your site and domain belong to you, and we’ll help you hand them over.
