A website that keeps going down
A busy site on cheap shared hosting slows to a crawl whenever traffic picks up. Moving it to properly sized hosting makes it fast again, and monitoring means slowdowns get noticed before customers complain.

Hosting you don't have to think about
Your website and systems should simply be there when people need them. Behind that sits a steady list of chores: updates, backups, security patches, certificates that need renewing, servers that need watching. It's the kind of work that gets forgotten until something breaks.
We host and look after your websites and applications, so you're not the one checking whether the site is up.
- Agile, two-week cycles
- A demo of working software every cycle
- One team from build to support
Sound familiar?
The problems we usually hear first
If one of these describes your week, you're in the right place. Good projects often start with exactly this kind of frustration.
- 01
Nobody owns the server
The person who set it up has moved on, and nobody is quite sure what's running on it or where the passwords are.
- 02
Backups nobody has tested
There are backups, probably. Whether they would actually restore is another question.
- 03
A slow, outdated site
Pages load slowly, the security certificate expired last month, and the software hasn't been updated in years.
- 04
Domains and email in a tangle
The domain sits in someone's personal account, and the email settings were copied from a forum post.
What's included
Everything it takes to keep your sites and systems fast, safe and online, handled by one team.
- 01
Hosting for sites and applications
Websites, web applications and databases, on infrastructure sized for what you actually need.
- 02
Daily backups, tested
Backups run every day, and we restore from them regularly to make sure they work when you need them.
- 03
Security
Hardened servers, firewalls, certificates that renew themselves and security updates applied promptly.
- 04
Monitoring
Uptime and performance watched around the clock, so problems get noticed and dealt with early.
- 05
Domains, DNS and email
Domains registered in your name, DNS set up properly, and business email that lands in inboxes rather than spam.
- 06
Moving from another host
Existing sites and systems moved across with a plan, so the switch happens with as little downtime as possible.
What you get
- Hosting sized for your traffic
- Daily backups with tested restores
- Certificates, firewalls and security updates
- Uptime and performance monitoring
- Domains and business email set up properly
You always know what was done
Every update, backup check and fix is recorded, so you can see what changed and when.
How we'll work together
Four steps from the first conversation to something your team uses every day, with the building done in two-week sprints. New to agile? Here's how it works.
Step 1 of 4
Review what you have
We look at your current sites, servers, domains and email, and list what's working, what's risky and what's missing.
- An inventory of what you run
- Risks, in plain language
- What needs fixing first
For example
A few situations where this kind of work makes a real difference.
A business system with no backups
Years of records sit on a single server with no working backup. Daily backups, tested restores and a second copy kept elsewhere mean one failed disk is no longer a disaster.
Domains in former staff accounts
Domains and email are registered under people who have since left. We move them into the company's own name, tidy the settings and document every login.
Questions people ask
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly. There's no such thing as a silly question before a project.
Can you host a site you didn't build?
Yes. We review it first and tell you plainly if anything needs fixing before or after the move.
Will moving cause downtime?
We plan moves to keep downtime to a minimum, usually a short window at a quiet time you choose.
Do you look after email too?
Yes. We set up and look after business email on your domain, including the settings that keep your messages out of spam folders.
What happens if something goes down?
Our monitoring usually tells us before you notice. We fix it, then explain what happened and what we've changed so it doesn't happen again.

Want one less thing to worry about?
Tell us what you're running and where. We'll review it and suggest what to do next.
