The short and sweet of it:
Every business with a website should have a trusted provider who is expert in all facets of keeping a website healthy once it’s built. Someone attentive and capable should have their eyes and hands on the infrastructure every day, making sure everything’s running speedily and reliably with no security flaws, testing each software update before deploying them so nothing breaks, and backing up your site data frequently and reliably. And they should be available to provide timely, knowledgeable tech support should you need it. All for an affordable monthly fee.
Our managed hosting service does exactly that.
Do you already have a WordPress site but need a more proactive, knowledgeable hosting company that you can actually get on the phone? Let’s get you better situated right away.
How is our managed hosting service different from what you’d get from your typical FacelessHosting-dot-com?
If you like illustrative metaphors, read on for the long and sticky of it!
What kind of digital neighborhood do you want your website to live in?
Imagine your website is a property located on a narrow, bumpy street in a crowded neighborhood. Imagine each property is built with different materials, which need different kinds of upkeep to maintain appearances, keep the electrical systems functioning properly, or even keep robbers from breaking in. Imagine each one is a different age – or generation – each constructed to meet the building code of its time. Then imagine no one in town has ever had the capability, time, or interest for doing any of the required maintenance or upgrades on these properties – or plowing the street in the winter, or picking up the trash, or adjusting the timing of the traffic lights properly.
Now imagine a comfortably wide, smooth street full of well-built, well-maintained properties, in a town where the officials are committed to providing top-notch services, like making sure the streets are clean, and everyone has what they need to come and go smoothly, and to be safe.
There’s a dedicated maintenance crew – for the streets, and for keeping properties up without making the residents pay through the nose for the assistance.
Which neighborhood would you like your website to live in?
Garden variety shared hosting environments are like the neglected neighborhood. Your “lot” may be cheap, but is little more than a parking space. And the services you get are limited to the ones that will serve the oldest properties. If you need help fixing something, well, you’re probably gonna have to google it yourself and hope for the best.
Translating that into actual web server language: Your website will be allocated less memory than it may need to serve speedily. Any upgrades to the server architecture will be constrained by what’s needed to support sites in your shared space that were built with older code. You may only be allotted a certain amount of free data upload and download per month (so your visitors can access the info you’re sharing) without you incurring unexpected extra costs. And, should you have problems, the tech support you get will often be cursory, if available at all – even if you have a security breach, or your site goes down.
The best neighborhood in town
What if your WordPress website lived on a server that was optimized for WordPress – and all the sites in your “neighborhood” were built and maintained the same way? That’s what you’ll get in our part of town, along with responsive, knowledgeable tech support, robust security and anti-spam safeguards, timely, tested, ongoing software and plugin upgrades, nightly redundant back-up, and server resources perfectly tuned for 21st Century levels of traffic.
Oh yeah, and you’ll also get a proactive “city engineer” with decades of experience curating the best-of-the-best WordPress tools for every business use case.
Sounds like easy street, right?
