Who it’s for

Is this right for you?

Managed hosting and maintenance is for any business whose website or web app matters to sales.

  • Nobody owns hosting, updates and backups today
  • Your site was hacked or went down before
  • Your web app needs to scale on Azure or AWS
  • You need small edits but no developer on staff

What you get

  • Hosting on WordPress cloud, Azure or AWS
  • SSL certificate and CDN
  • Daily off-site backups
  • Weekly updates tested on staging
  • Malware and uptime monitoring
  • Monthly edits and health report

Services

Hosting options

We recommend the platform that fits your site, traffic and compliance needs, and we manage it for you either way.

Managed WordPress cloud

Fast LiteSpeed cloud servers with caching, CDN and SSL. The best fit for most marketing websites and WooCommerce stores.

Microsoft Azure

Azure App Service, virtual machines and databases for web apps, portals and businesses already on Microsoft 365 and Entra ID.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

AWS hosting with Amazon EC2, Lightsail, S3 and CloudFront for custom applications, high traffic and global delivery.

Cloud hosting backed by an IT team

As a Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner, we can design, deploy and manage cloud hosting that scales with your business, with the right region, backups, monitoring and cost controls in place. For most marketing websites, managed WordPress cloud hosting is faster to run and more cost-effective, so we only recommend Azure or AWS when your site or application needs it.

Hosting is only half the job. Most WordPress hacks exploit plugins that were never updated, so our care plans keep software current, watch for problems and restore quickly if anything goes wrong. Because our sister company SupportMax runs cybersecurity for Los Angeles businesses, your website gets the same security mindset: least-privilege logins, two-factor authentication and a hidden admin login.

Frequently asked questions

Are you a Microsoft Azure and AWS partner?

Yes. We are a Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services partner and can host, migrate and manage websites and web applications on either platform.

Should my website be on Azure or AWS?

Most marketing websites run best on managed WordPress cloud hosting. Azure or AWS make sense for custom web apps, high traffic, specific compliance needs or businesses already standardized on that cloud.

Can you move my site from another host?

Yes. We migrate your files, database, email-sending settings and DNS with no lost content or rankings.

Can you maintain a site you did not build?

Yes. We start with an audit and bring it up to our standard before monitoring begins.

What happens if my site goes down?

We are alerted automatically and restore from backup or fix the cause, usually the same business day.
