Hosting with Ongoing Website Responsibility

I don’t just host WordPress sites — I actively manage, maintain, and stand behind them long-term.

What is Web Hosting?

In order for your website to be live on the Internet it needs to be hosted somewhere. You need a domain name, and you need its DNS pointed to the domain. You also need an SSL certificate installed. Do you know how to do all of that? If you do, then unless you have a heavy site, you can just go get cheap hosting somewhere and do your own SSL and take care of business. Or I can do it for you for $20 a month. I offer a free website with one year paid hosting and a 30% in the second year and a 50% discount on the third year and beyond – at time of purchase only. 

Is Hosting Together a Good Fit for Us?

The complimentary website setup included with hosting is designed to provide a clean, functional, and effective website — not an open-ended design project.

Client input is welcome regarding general direction, existing branding, colors, content, and functionality. That input may be provided in writing or discussed by phone and will be reasonably incorporated.

This setup does not include multiple design rounds, exploratory redesigns, or subjective iteration focused purely on look and feel. The priority is clarity, message, and function.

As long as the site meets professional standards, respects any existing materials provided, and functions properly, the setup is considered complete.

Additional revisions, design changes, or content updates beyond the initial setup fall under Support & Improvements and are billed at the standard support rate.

Q: What is the lowest out of pocket amount I have to pay in order to get the free website? 

A: $240. Pay for one year of hosting, get a free website. If you don’t already have a domain name (a dot com) I can get one for you but that costs about $25 for the year. 

Even when issues originate at the host level, you deal with me — not support queues.

What Hosting Does Not Include

Those fall under Support & Improvements, billed separately.

If your website is important to you this is the best $20 you'll ever spend!

If you’re not sure which option makes sense for you, I offer a free review of your existing setup.

To evaluate your setup, I’ll need temporary WordPress admin access. That allows me to quickly determine whether your site is a good fit and what hosting option makes the most sense.

I’ll tell you honestly whether fixing makes sense, rebuilding makes sense, or neither does.
