I host your site, keep it patched and secure, and fix things when they break. Two separate things: keeping it running, and keeping it improving. Pick what you need. Billed monthly, cancel any time.
Since October 2024 I only host sites that are being maintained. It doesn't have to be me doing it, just a reputable provider. An unmaintained site is how sites get hacked or go down, and I'm not putting my name on that.
The basics that keep a site fast, secure and online. Hosting + Maintenance is the one most sites want.
$39/mo
Just hosting, for a site that's being maintained somewhere.
$239/mo
For a site hosted somewhere else. I keep it updated, secure and backed up.
Running an online store? Add $180/mo.
$269/mo
I host it and keep it maintained. One invoice, one person to call. This is the usual setup.
Running an online store? Add $180/mo.
Hosting on its own is for sites someone else keeps maintained (I'll need proof of that). The online-store add-on ($180/mo) goes on Maintenance or Hosting + Maintenance only.
A monthly block of my time for design, development and content, with priority when you need something done. This is separate from hosting and maintenance; add those below if you want them too.
$320/mo
For a site you keep yourself, but want a professional on call.
$1,200/mo
For a site you're actively adding to.
$2,800/mo
About half a day a week of my time, for a fraction of hiring in-house.
Want hosting or maintenance on a Website Care plan too? Add maintenance for $229/mo, or hosting and maintenance for $259/mo. Both are $10 less than buying them on their own, because I'm not charging for the monthly report twice.
Month to month, up to 25% of unused hours roll into the next month, then they expire. If you'd rather not lose them, there's an optional 12-month contract (still billed monthly) where all unused hours roll over, with each month's rolled hours lasting two months. No lock-in unless you choose it. Extra work beyond your hours is $165/hr, confirmed with you first.
Managed cloud hosting
Fast servers worldwide so your site loads quickly wherever your visitor is, with automatic scaling when traffic spikes.
SSL and secure setup
Encrypted connection, secure setup, and the lock icon your customers expect to see.
Daily backups
Backed up daily with quick restore points, so if anything ever goes wrong it's back the way it was yesterday in minutes.
Security monitoring and patching
Continuous scans against malware and vulnerabilities, plus software, plugin and theme updates to keep everything current.
Uptime monitoring
24/7 monitoring, so if something goes wrong at 3am I know about it before your customers do.
Performance checks
Regular optimisation of speed, database and overall performance so pages keep loading instantly.
Content and link checks
Regular checks of forms, links and content across browsers and devices to make sure everything works.
Support and monthly reports
Brisbane-based support you can reach directly, issues looked at by the next business day, and a monthly report of the work I did. (Priority turnaround is a Website Care thing.)
Tell me about your site and I'll get you on the right setup. One invoice, one person to call.
