Managed WordPress
hosting that actually cares.
You can pay less for “just hosting.” Or you can pay a little more to never worry about outdated plugins, missed security updates, or random breakage again.
You’re not buying server space. You’re buying peace of mind.
Most hosting stops at “your site is on a server.” We go further: we log in, update things, and keep an eye on your site like it’s part of our own portfolio.
- Quarterly or monthly update cycles, not “whenever you remember.”
- Real humans checking for obvious issues after updates.
- Security and uptime checks built into the plan.
- Advice from people who build and run WordPress every day.
How we compare to large online hosts.
Providers like GoDaddy, Bluehost, and others offer strong, low-cost hosting options— especially if you’re comfortable managing everything yourself. Where we’re different is simple:
- We don’t hand you a control panel and walk away.
- We treat your site as a living system, not a static file.
- We’re small enough to know your site, not just your account number.
If you like doing your own updates, big-box hosting might be perfect for you. If you don’t, that’s where we come in.

“Why not just pay $14.99 a month to GoDaddy?”
You absolutely can. For some DIY users, that’s enough. The difference isn’t whether your site has a server— it’s whether anyone is responsible for keeping that site healthy.
