We have spent a lot of time and energy researching to find the best, fastest and most secure website hosting service. Your website will be hosted on the same server we entrust with our own web-based business.
Anything you like.
We can add content, upload products, tweak the website design, create email optins and marketing automations and suggest search engine optimisation improvements.
All you need to do is submit a support ticket to our helpdesk with the job you'd like us to do and we'll get onto it for you.
Yes absolutely.
We charge a $250 migration fee. This allows us to review you current site and suggest enhancements then configure the tools that you need from our toolkit. Once your website is installed on our hosting, we make the necessary upgrades to your site.
We also make sure that that we minimise downtime. If you need to migrate over any email systems you might be using we will point you to the experts we work with so we can get on with the job of looking after your website.
Yes, Absolutely. All our hosting is robust and can handle multiple visits. Let us know your normal traffic volumens and we can discuss the best option for you.
We design hosting for high traffic; a successful advertising campaign or your business being featured on the news will not bring your website down.
We celebrate your successes, a temporary spike in visitors will not require upgrading hosting capacity. If your site experiences long term, sustained ‘visitor’ growth then we may need to discuss increasing your hosting capacity.
We celebrate your successes. If you have a marketing campaign that goes viral we'll make sure your website scales. If you reach your pageview limits indicated in your hosting plan we'll monitor it for a couple of months. If it is sustained traffic and your site is growing then we'll have a conversation about increasing your plan. If it was a brief spike then we'll leave you on your current plan.
We use the pageview metric from Google Analytics to calculate the traffic to your site. We make sure you have google analytics tracking installed on your site. That way you get to learn about your visitor behaviour and we can track how well your site is doing.
Google Analytics tries hard to only measure real people visiting your site, not "bots" automated services such as the search bots run by Google and Bing to add your content to their search engines. Your Google Analytics pageviews are often a lot lower than the total pageviews for your site (sometimes as much as 350%) but they represent the success of your site with real people.
Quite a few companies in the managed WordPress hosting space use pageviews as a metric. However not all companies measure pageviews in the same way. Many are also measuring at least a proportion if not all the traffic that Google Analytics ignores. This can result in much higher pageviews than Google Analytics will display. Often that means that these hosting companies have necessarily higher pageview limits in their plans.
We don't provide email serivces. We fully commit all our resources to top notch WordPress hosting. We recommend the worlds best email providers GSuite (Formerly Google Apps) and Office 365 and can point you to some great people to help you manage this.
WordPress is an easy to use CMS that powers over 27% of the all the websites. It is powerful, extensible and scales with your business. Find out more about WordPress.
We can host other applications if needed but it's not our strength. Get in touch with us if you have specialised needs.
Yes, Absolutely.
We can convert your website from another other platform (Joomla, Drupal, HTML etc). If you want to update your website look at the same time we can help with that too. Just talk to us.
We are constantly monitoring website security and vulnerabilities including vulnerable themes and plugins on the sites we manage.
If an issue is found with a theme or plugin on your website which can't be resolved by updating then we will contact you to discuss the best solution.
Backups are an integral part of our WordPress management service. We keep 7 days of daily database backups and weekly full website backups for 1 month. Additional monthly full backups are kept for an additional 2 months (3 months coverage).
We can restore your website from any of these backups.
This is in addition to any backups that our hosting partners provide.
