What is included

Where your site lives decides how fast it loads.

Four rules for where your site lives, how it is looked after and how you leave.

  1. Your site runs on Australian servers, near most of your buyers. A global edge network serves each page from close to each visitor.

    How a build runs
  2. Caching, compression and modern image delivery are set up on the host, so the site starts fast before any page is tuned.

    See the work
  3. DNS records, cache rules and redirects are kept as configuration we can read and repeat. Nothing lives only in one person's head.

    The proof we show
  4. Hosting is billed monthly with no lock-in contract. Give 30 days' notice and you are free to go, no hard feelings.

    Questions people ask

The argument

Cheap hosting costs more than the price tag says.

A shared box on the other side of the world.

Monthly, no lock-in

30 days' notice whenever you want out.

Leaving costs more than staying.

The people who built it

One email, answered by someone who knows the site.

Generalist build

A ticket queue

Explaining your site to a stranger.

How it runs

From first call to launch, minus the headaches.

You see the page plan before design starts, and the design before we build. So there are no nasty surprises at the end.

Week 1

Assess

We look at how the site is built and who visits it, then recommend where it should run, in writing, before anything moves.

What we deliver

  • Platform and traffic review
  • Hosting setup in writing
  • DNS and email inventory
  • Fixed monthly price

Week 1

DNS

We record every DNS entry, email included, and agree in writing who holds the domain and each login before anything moves.

What we deliver

  • Every DNS record listed
  • Email records mapped
  • Domain access agreed
  • Access list documented
A crowd of people crossing a busy city street, shot from above with their movement blurred

Weeks 1 to 2

Set up

The environment is built and tested on a temporary address, with SSL, a firewall, caching and backups configured before any live traffic arrives.

What we deliver

  • Australian server set up
  • SSL for every domain in use
  • CDN and caching rules
  • Backup schedule running
Three colleagues around a table of laptops, one standing and gesturing at a screen while the other two look on

Week 2

Cutover

DNS moves at a quiet hour, with your email records carried across first, so nothing in anyone's inbox notices the change.

What we deliver

  • Email records preserved
  • DNS cutover at a quiet hour
  • SSL and redirects checked
  • Old host kept until verified
Blue and lime patch cables plugged into a rack panel and sweeping away in order

Every month

Run

We watch the resources, patch the server, renew what expires and check the backups, then send a short note saying what we did.

What we deliver

  • Server and runtime patches
  • Certificate and domain renewals
  • Backup checks
  • Monthly hosting note

The long read

What a hosting fee should actually buy.

Hosting looks like a commodity until the day it fails. This is what the monthly fee should be paying for, and what it should never include.

Distance is still a speed limit

A server on the other side of the world adds a delay to every request your site makes, and every request makes the trip.

So your site runs on Australian servers, close to most of your buyers. A global edge network then serves copies of each page from near each visitor.

How it is set up depends on how the site is built, and we choose that with you rather than from a price list.

Where a distant host spends its time
Waiting on the network Doing the work

Illustrative: the shape of a far-away host's delay, not a measurement of your site. We time yours before recommending a move.

Hosting you can walk away from

Plenty of businesses find out how stuck they are on the day they try to leave an agency.

Long hosting contracts protect the agency. They do nothing for the business paying the bill.

Our hosting is billed monthly with no lock-in contract. Give 30 days' notice and you are free to go, and the words, photos and branding you supplied stay yours.

A backup on the same server dies with the server

If the backups live on the server they protect, the same event takes both.

Ours are automated, copied off the platform and kept for an agreed period. We restore one now and then to prove the chain still works.

If you want the full treatment, with regular restore drills and a written incident plan, that is our security and backups service.

What managed hosting covers, and what it leaves out

Managed hosting means the environment is set up for your site, then watched, patched and renewed. There is no lock-in and no cheap plan with our logo stuck on it.

When something is wrong, you reach a person who knows the site.

Plugin updates and content changes are maintenance, a separate plan that sits beside this one.

Tell us where the site lives now.We will tell you where it should.

Client results

“Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies... instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results.”

Questions

What people ask before moving their hosting.

What you need to know before we start a conversation.

Not answered here? Ask us directly

Where will our site be hosted?

On Australian servers behind a global edge network. Static and headless sites are served from the edge, close to each visitor. Sites that need a server, like WordPress, run in Australia. We explain the setup for your site in writing before anything moves.

Is there a lock-in contract on hosting?

No. Hosting is billed monthly with no lock-in contract, and you can leave with 30 days' notice. The words, photos and branding you supplied stay yours, whether you stay with us for 1 year or 10.

Will our email be affected by the move?

It should not notice a thing. We record every DNS entry before we touch anything and carry the email records across first. The old host keeps running until the new one is checked.

What does managed hosting cost?

Hosting is billed monthly, and the monthly price is in your fixed quote before you commit. There is no lock-in contract, and 30 days' notice ends it. Ask on a free strategy call and we will price it for your site.

Does hosting affect our rankings?

Speed and reliability both matter to search, and both are hosting problems before they are anything else. A slow or unreliable host holds a good site back, which is why we measure both after every move.

What happens if we leave?

Give us 30 days' notice and the hosting ends. Once your project is paid in full, you hold a licence to use the website we built. The words, photos and branding you supplied stay yours.

Is SSL included?

Yes. Certificates are issued for every domain and subdomain the site uses, and they renew automatically. We check them each month, so an expiry never reaches a visitor's browser.
