Sites I look after run on servers I manage, with backups, certificates and mail records handled. Email sits on a separate server, so the site and email do not share one point of failure.
Most small businesses end up with three suppliers: someone who built the site, someone who hosts it, and someone who sold them email. When something breaks, each one can plausibly say it is not theirs. Meanwhile the site is down and nobody owns the problem.
When the site sits with me that argument does not happen. I look after the site, I run its server and I manage its mail records, so the fix starts immediately instead of after two days of forwarded emails.
It is also why I ask to host the sites I maintain. I cannot promise to clean up a malware infection on a server I cannot see into. Half of what needs cleaning is never inside WordPress in the first place.
The cheapest slot
A shared plan chosen on price, oversold, with support that answers in a day and cannot read a PHP error.
Three suppliers
Hosting here, email there, the developer somewhere else. Every incident starts by working out whose fault it is.
Looked after
Server, mail and site in the same hands. One conversation, and it starts with a fix rather than a search for blame.
On every site I host
What the server side includes.
The same person runs the server and the sites on it. When contact form messages quietly stop arriving, the cause is usually mail authentication, not the form, so mail is treated as part of hosting, not an afterthought.
What's included
What comes with it.
Hosting and email are not sold here as a bargain. They are the place I can actually support what I built, and the reason an incident starts with a fix instead of a phone tree.
A server configured for WordPress
PHP version, memory, caching and object cache set for the site rather than left at whatever a generic plan ships with.
Certificates issued and renewed
SSL is set up, kept valid and renewed automatically. Nobody finds out it expired from a browser warning.
Daily backups, kept off the server
Fourteen days of daily backups on a separate backup server. From Care+ there is also a weekly copy in the cloud.
Mailboxes on your own domain
On a separate mail server, priced by storage rather than by person. Spam filtering, webmail and aliases are part of it.
Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 managed
When those are the right answer I set them up, handle the DNS and support your team. You pay the licenses directly.
One place to ask
Hosting, mail and the site are supported by the same person, so there is nobody to be redirected to.

Performance
What the setup actually gives you.
None of this is exotic. It is the set of things that quietly go wrong when hosting is bought on price alone.
Separation
Mail on its own server
Your email does not share a machine with your website. A site problem stays a site problem.
Deliverability
Records done properly
SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured so your mail is trusted. This is the step most setups skip and then blame on the provider.
Speed
Configured for the site
PHP, memory and object cache set for the workload. One site I host runs a catalog of 1,400 products and stays quick.
Recovery
Restores are tested
A backup nobody has ever restored is not a backup. Mine get restored before anyone needs them.
How I work
How moving to me works.
Moving an ordinary site over is free on every maintenance plan. Mail and site are never switched at the same time.
Look first
I check where the site is, where the mail is, and what is currently pointing at what.
Copy and verify
The site is copied to my server and tested there while the old one is still live.
Mail planned separately
Mailboxes are moved or repointed on their own schedule, so the site and the email are never moved at the same time.
Cutover
DNS is switched in a window you choose. SSL and mail records are confirmed the same hour.
Watch
The old host stays available until I am certain, and errors are watched in the days that follow.
Then it goes quiet
Backups, certificates and renewals run on their own. You hear from me when something needs a decision.
Hosting is not the product. Not having a problem is.
One supplier, no blame
The site, the server and the mail are in the same hands, so an incident starts with a fix rather than an investigation.
Mail and site kept apart
They fail for different reasons, so they do not sit on the same machine. Cheap plans put them together and you find out during an incident.
You are not locked in
Standard WordPress and standard mail. If you leave, everything comes with you and I help you move it.
Billing
Hosting comes with care.
The Managed plan includes hosting and email, and Care+ includes standard hosting. On Care, hosting is billed separately. Shops and high-traffic sites that need more resources are agreed separately. Either way, one person looks after the site, the server and the mail.
Hosting is required on every maintenance plan. I cannot guarantee a malware cleanup on a server I cannot see into.
Not included
Domain registration and renewal
Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 licenses
Custom server software
Frequently asked
Before you move.
Why the mail sits elsewhere, how the server is set up, and when you should be using Google or Microsoft instead.
Can I buy hosting on its own?
No. The server is part of how a site is maintained here, not a product sold separately. Hosting and email come with the Managed plan.
How much mail storage do I get?
Mailboxes are sized by storage rather than per person, so you are not paying for seats nobody uses. A standard allocation comes with the plan, and anything larger is agreed when I look at your setup.
Why is email on a different server from the website?
Because they fail for different reasons. A site under heavy load or cleaning up after an infection should not take your email with it, and a mail problem should not take the site down. Cheap plans put both on one machine and you find out during an incident.
Am I sharing a server with other sites?
You are on a dedicated server I manage, alongside other sites I manage. Each one runs under its own account with its own files and its own database, so one infected site cannot read or touch another site's files. I also do not oversell the machine, which is the part cheap shared hosting gets wrong: everything running as the same user, on a box packed far past what it can actually serve.
When is Workspace or Microsoft 365 the better choice?
When the team is large, when Drive, Teams or Meet are part of how you work every day, when your company has compliance requirements, or when everyone already lives in Outlook. I am selling mail, not a whole productivity suite. In those cases I set the right one up and manage it rather than push you onto my server. Google and Microsoft charge per person while I size mail by storage, so the right answer depends on how your team is shaped rather than on a headline price.
Will my email end up in spam?
Not because of the setup. SPF, DKIM and DMARC are configured properly, which is the step most setups skip and then blame on the provider. Once that is right, the rest is down to what you send and who receives it.
Do I have to host with you?
For a maintenance plan, yes. I guarantee malware cleanup, and that is not a promise anyone can keep on a server they cannot see into.
Can I leave?
Yes, and I help you move. Standard WordPress and standard mail, nothing proprietary. Your site and your mailboxes go with you.
