Hosting PLUS Packages

Business sites need more than just basic website hosting and a domain to stay secure and trust­worthy. Among other things, they need regular security updates, SSL cer­ti­ficate renewals and backups. Common DIY hosting packages don’t cov­erall those vital extras. My “Hosting PLUS” packages do. Business sites also need ongoing support (here’s why), so a little of that is also included.

Thinking of moving your existing site to one of these managed hosting packages? I don’t charge a transfer-in fee for static sites or those using common open-source CMS systems like WordPress. If your site has more complex hosting require­ments, or is “trapped” on one of the DIY site building plat­forms, please get in touch and we’ll see what we can do to help.

Why Websites Need Maintenance

The web changes fast. Technologies advance daily, and older systems become unusable without updates.

Hackers also keep finding new ways to attack your site and its vis­itors — often invisibly. So many sites unknow­ingly spread malware. No site is too small to be a target. If it gets vis­itors, it can be used to spread malware. That’s bad for your cus­tomers and your business.

Left unchecked, such external factors can break any site. Site per­formance also dir­ectly affects SEO. So regular website main­tenance is business-critical.

Why Business Websites Need Support

Marketing evolves as rapidly as tech­nology. So at least some parts of online mar­keting probably don’t work in the way you think. Still, your com­pet­itors act­ively manage and promote their web­sites. So you’ll have to do that, too.

Sadly, there’s lots of out­dated, inex­per­i­enced and even fake “advice” around. Most is only valid in spe­cific con­texts or for certain sizes or types of busi­nesses. So real support goes beyond website edits and fixes — and many small busi­nesses fail without exper­i­enced advice on hand.

Having spe­cialised in sup­porting small startups for almost 20 years, I can help with a lot more than “just” building web­sites, SEO, content and video mar­keting, Whilst estab­lished firms often hire business coaches, lots of small firms struggle to work out things like pricing, branding and mar­keting strategies, as well as mar­keting auto­mation on their own. There’s a lot to learn, so having an exper­i­enced advisor on hand can make a huge difference.
