A fast, secure home
Current servers and a padlock that renews itself; since September 2026, Chrome asks before opening a site without one.
Website hosting and care
Hosting with a person attached.
We give your website a fast, secure home and check every day that it still works, down to whether the contact form delivers. When something breaks, the alert comes to us, and you have a person to write to.
Why hosting needs watching
Your site’s security certificate is going from 398 days to 47.
The padlock in the address bar depends on a security certificate: a small file that proves the site is yours and keeps what visitors type private. In April 2025 the CA/Browser Forum, where browser makers and certificate issuers agree the rules, voted to cut how long one may last, in three steps.
Miss a renewal and the browser warns visitors that your site is not secure.
398days at most, until March 2026
200days at most, since March 15, 2026
100days at most, from March 15, 2027
47days at most, from March 15, 2029
From one renewal a year to about eight.
Each shorter limit means the certificate has to be replaced more often. Let’s Encrypt, the nonprofit certificate issuer, already says renewing by hand is not recommended, and advises monitoring that raises an alert when a renewal doesn’t happen.
So renewal runs on its own, and when it fails the alert reaches a person. That second half is the part we add.
What you’d get
A home for your site, and someone watching it.
Checks, day and night
Automatic checks that your pages open and that a message sent through your form arrives, with the alert going to a person when one fails.
Backups by the 3-2-1 rule
A copy of the whole site every night, kept on two kinds of storage with one somewhere else, and restored on a schedule to prove it.
Updates applied and checked
Security fixes for the software your site runs on, applied by a person who then opens the pages and sends the form to see they still work.
A person to write to
New opening hours or a changed price: you email the person who looks after the site, and they make the change.
Yours to take away
Your web address, the hosting account and the backups are in your business’s name, so if you leave, the site goes with you.
The part nobody sees
A host’s uptime figure counts one thing: the share of the year its server, the computer your site lives on, was answering. Even 99.9% allows about 8.8 hours of downtime a year, and a site can answer all year while its form delivers nothing. See what it takes ›
- Your web address, in your name and renewed on time
- A certificate renewed several times a year, and checked
- Form email set up so it reaches your inbox
- Backups kept elsewhere, and a restore that’s been tried
How moving in goes
- 1
Talk
A free call. You tell us what the site is for and what, if anything, has been going wrong.
- 2
Look
We look at where the site lives now, what it runs on and where your email is handled, then send the scope, timeline and price in writing.
- 3
Move
We copy the site to its new home and test it there. Your old hosting stays on until the new one has been checked.
- 4
Switch
Your web address is pointed at the new home, and we check the pages, the form and your email again.
- 5
Care
From then on: the checks, the nightly copies and the updates, and a person to write to.
Before you ask
My host promises 99.9% uptime. Isn’t that enough?
That figure is the share of the year the server was answering. Over a year, 99.9% still allows about 8.8 hours of downtime, and a site can answer the whole time while its contact form delivers nothing or its certificate has run out. We check what a visitor would trip over, and a person hears when a check fails.
Can you host a site you didn’t build?
Often. It depends on how the site was made, so we look at it first and tell you on the free call whether it can move as it is. A site made in a closed builder such as Wix has to stay on that company’s servers, so giving it a new home means rebuilding it, which is a different job.
Will my site go down while it moves?
The move is planned so that it doesn’t. We copy the site to its new home and test it there, then point your web address at it, and the old hosting stays on until the new one has been checked. Before anything is switched we look at where your email is handled, so it isn’t disturbed.
How often is it backed up, and can you really put it back?
Every night, by the 3-2-1 rule: three copies, on two kinds of storage, one of them somewhere else. US-CERT, the US government’s computer emergency team, recommended it in 2012, and the cybersecurity agency CISA still calls it a trusted guideline. We also test restores, because that is the only way to know a backup works. How far back yours go is written in your proposal.
What happens if I want to leave?
You take the site with you. Your web address and the hosting account are in your business’s name from the start, and we hand over the site’s files, its data and the latest backup. There is nothing to buy back.
