WordPress, hosted by people
who actually run servers.
Not a WordPress-only platform. Not a mass host packing 4,000 sites onto a box. Your sites live on a small, lightly loaded server we run ourselves, next to a handful of other clients' sites — fast, patched, backed up, and without a per-site fee for every blog you want to run.
WordPress Hosting
Business sites, portfolios, blogs, the local PTA. What most people need.

A real WordPress setup.
Set up for speed
PHP and caching tuned for WordPress before you log in. If a site is slow, we look at why. That's the job.
Daily backups
Files and database, kept off the server and downloadable from your dashboard. Need a restore? Email us.
Plugin & core updates
Optional. We can run them on a schedule. Or stay out of it — your call.
Security hardening
Patched servers, login throttling, XML-RPC off by default. We read the advisories so you don't have to.
Monitoring
Uptime, response time, certificate expiry. Pages us, not you.
SSL, handled
Let's Encrypt certificates, issued and renewed for every site. Nothing to remember.
Email that arrives
Contact forms and store receipts go out through Email Out, our SMTP service. $3/mo for 1,000 emails.
The human bit
A specific engineer looks after your sites. You'll have their email. They reply.
What sharing a server means here.
A few neighbors, not thousands
Your sites share a server with a small number of other clients' sites. We decide who goes where, and we don't oversell a box and hope.
The server is ours to run
Need a plugin installed, a PHP setting changed, or a file fixed? Email us and we'll do it. You keep full WordPress admin.
One IP, shared
Your sites use the server's address, as they would at most WordPress hosts. SSL doesn't mind, and mail goes out through Email Out, not the server.
Room to grow
If a site outgrows its neighbors, we move it: to Plus, or to a VPS of its own. We do the moving.
We move you. You don't lift anything.
Send us access
Existing host login, or a backup file. Whichever's easier.
We copy it over
We bring a copy up at a temporary address on our servers, fix any plugin issues, and check it works.
You review
Look around. Click things. Tell us what's wrong.
We cut over
DNS swap on a quiet hour. Old host stays warm for 30 days as a safety net.
Migration is free for invited clients. We've moved sites off WP Engine, Kinsta, GoDaddy, Bluehost, SiteGround, Pantheon, Flywheel, and a Linode someone configured in 2014.
Need a server of your own?
Root access, a dedicated IP, or software WordPress doesn't use — that's a VPS. Its own plans and prices, starting at $25 a month.
