Website hosting and maintenance in Norwich.
Never worry about your website again.
Hosting, backups, updates, security and speed, all handled in the background by a WordPress specialist here in Norwich. When something needs sorting, you email me, not a help desk. From £25 a month plus VAT.
What hosting actually is.
Your domain is the sign, your website is the shop, and hosting is the premises.
Every website is a set of files that has to live on a computer that’s always on and always online. That computer is a server, and hosting is renting space on a good one. Cheap premises are why some sites feel slow, fall over on busy days or get broken into.
“Managed” means the premises are my problem: fast servers in London, a firewall in front, daily off-site backups, and me keeping watch. You never log in to anything.
And what a care plan adds.
Hosting keeps the site up. A care plan is someone minding it. A site left alone rarely crashes: it quietly rots. A form stops sending, a plugin falls behind, everything slows down, and one morning it’s gone.
A care plan stops that. Updates are applied and checked, security is watched, speed stays where it was at launch, and you get some of my time each month for the changes you’d otherwise put off.
It isn’t a redesign or a new build. Those I’ll quote as projects.
Hosting and care plans.
Every plan runs on the same managed hosting. Landing looks after a one-page site, Host covers the day-to-day upkeep of a site of any size, and each plan above it adds more of my time each month for changes, and a quicker reply.

Let’s chat* If I didn’t build your site, I’ll review it for free before anything starts, to confirm which plan suits it or whether it needs a rescue first. Keeping the plugins and everything else in order on a site I didn’t build isn’t always simple, so if you’d like me to look after all of it, a Care plan is usually the least I’d recommend. If you’d rather keep on top of the upkeep yourself, Host is all you need.
The small print.
- All prices exclude VAT.
- Included hours reset every month and don’t roll over, on yearly plans as well as monthly.
- Included hours cover amendments, content updates and minor changes. Anything bigger I’ll quote separately, so you always know the number first.
- Plans cover a typical business website. A high-traffic, e-commerce or resource-hungry site may need an upgraded plan, which I’ll quote individually.
- Paying monthly: three months minimum, then it rolls on with 30 days’ notice either way.
- Paying yearly: a twelve month commitment, paid up front. If you leave part way through, the remainder isn’t refunded. It renews automatically, so if you don’t want it to, let me know at least 30 days before your renewal date.
- If an invoice goes unpaid I’ll write to you first, and may suspend the site if it stays unpaid. Everything is restored as soon as it’s settled.
What website maintenance actually involves.
“Website maintenance” can mean anything from a monthly button-press to nothing at all. Here’s what happens on every plan, every week.
-
Updates, checked
WordPress, your theme and every plugin, updated weekly and checked afterwards, because one bad update can quietly break a form or a checkout.
-
Daily off-site backups
If anything goes wrong, your site can be put back to how it was yesterday.
-
Security monitoring
Hacking attempts are blocked before they reach your site, and I’m alerted if anything looks wrong.
-
Uptime monitoring
If your site goes down, I know about it, usually before you do.
-
Speed
Fast managed hosting in a London data centre, served through Cloudflare Enterprise, so it stays as quick as launch day.
-
A person, not a dashboard
You never log in to anything. Most months you won’t notice I’m there, and that’s the point.
Easy in, easy out.
Two ways to pay. Both are honest, they’re just different trades.
Monthly
- Three months to begin with, because a month isn’t long enough to be worth setting up
- Then it simply rolls on
- Either of us can give 30 days’ notice
Yearly
- 10% less than paying monthly
- A commitment for the year: leave part way through and the rest isn’t refunded
- Renews automatically unless you tell me at least 30 days before
Either way, if you leave, the site is yours. I’ll hand over a full backup and help you move it. Hosting and care start on the day your site goes live, not before.
A care plan that only keeps you because leaving is painful isn’t a care plan.
Questions people ask.
Do I need a care plan if my site is working fine?
Working fine today doesn’t mean secure today. Most of the sites I rescue were “working fine” until an out-of-date plugin let someone in. A care plan is the reason a site keeps working.
Is hosting included?
Yes. Every plan runs on the same fast managed hosting, so you don’t need a separate hosting company.
Can I keep my current hosting?
Every plan includes hosting, because looking after a site properly depends on knowing exactly how it’s hosted. If you have a good reason to stay where you are, tell me and we’ll talk about it.
What do the included hours cover?
Small changes and help: new photos, updated prices, a new page section, a question answered. Hours reset each month and don’t roll over.
You didn’t build my site. Can you still look after it?
Yes. I’ll review it for free first, so you know which plan suits it, or whether it needs a rescue before anything else.
Do you only work with Norwich businesses?
No, I look after sites across the UK. But if you’re in Norwich or Norfolk, you’re dealing with someone local who answers their own email, and we can meet in person whenever that’s easier.
Want your website looked after?
Tell me where the site is hosted now and what it runs on, and I’ll tell you what looking after it would involve.
