Hosting and Maintenance

Hosting and maintenance for business websites

Hosting and maintenance for companies that want fewer surprises. I set up reliable hosting, move sites cleanly, handle updates, improve speed, and keep the important parts documented.

Typical Timeline

Ongoing or project-based

Best Fit

  • Businesses that need help moving a site to better hosting
  • WordPress sites that need updates, backups, and speed work
  • Teams without a developer watching the site after launch
  • Companies that want one technical owner for routine web support

What This Solves

One bottleneck, cleaned up properly

A website is not finished when it launches. Hosting, updates, backups, monitoring, and small fixes determine whether the site stays useful or becomes another source of risk.

Fewer surprises

because updates, backups, and monitoring are handled

Faster pages

from practical performance fixes and cleaner hosting

Clear ownership

so small problems do not sit unresolved

What Gets Built

Each engagement is scoped around one painful workflow, but the system usually includes these layers.

01

Hosting setup or migration

Move the site to a stable hosting setup, configure domains, SSL, redirects, and deployment basics.

02

Maintenance plan

Handle updates, backups, monitoring, uptime checks, and routine fixes on a predictable cadence.

03

Performance and cleanup

Improve speed, reduce avoidable weight, clean up unused plugins or scripts, and fix common technical issues.

04

Documentation and support

Keep the important access, workflows, and technical decisions documented so the site is easier to manage.

Process

How The Build Moves

The work stays tight: define the leverage point, ship the useful path first, then harden it with real usage.

1

Review the current setup

Check hosting, DNS, CMS, plugins, performance, backups, analytics, and access.

2

Stabilize the basics

Fix the risky pieces first, including backups, SSL, redirects, updates, monitoring, and admin access.

3

Improve what matters

Handle speed work, cleanup, plugin review, and technical fixes that affect visitors or editors.

4

Maintain and support

Keep the site updated, answer support requests, and document changes as the site evolves.

Common Questions

Short answers to the points that usually determine whether the engagement is a fit.

Can you migrate an existing site?

Yes. I handle hosting moves, DNS, SSL, redirects, basic testing, and post-migration fixes.

Do you maintain WordPress sites?

Yes. WordPress maintenance can include updates, backups, plugin review, uptime checks, security basics, and support.

Can this be ongoing?

Yes. Hosting and maintenance can be a monthly support relationship or a one-time cleanup project.

Why This Works

Hosting and maintenance are easy to ignore until something breaks. A slow site, expired certificate, failed update, broken form, missing backup, or messy migration can cost more attention than it should.

The point of a maintenance relationship is not to make the site complicated. It is to keep the basics handled, make small improvements before they become expensive, and give the business a clear place to send web problems.

Good support is practical: reliable hosting, clean updates, real backups, performance that does not drift, and documentation that makes the site easier to own.
