You pay your host directly — Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways, SiteGround, or Hostinger — and we manage the application on top: tested updates, verified backups, security, monitoring, and performance work. One named engineer accountable for the whole thing. From $99/mo.

Real client narration · 57 plugins, one staging rescue
You own the hosting account. We own the site's health. Here's who we've deployed on repeatedly and what we'd pick for your case.
Recommended for growing WordPress
Google Cloud infra, isolated containers, best-in-class support. We handle everything above the server.
Enterprise WordPress + WooCommerce
Great platform for larger teams. We manage the stack, cache rules, and staging discipline.
Best price/performance for scaling sites
DigitalOcean, Vultr, or AWS underneath. We tune the server profile alongside the application.
Solid starter for brochure WordPress
Reliable shared plans. We add tested updates, real backups, and monitoring on top.
Budget WordPress with the trade-offs
Good pricing, watchful maintenance required. We handle the plugin discipline the shared plan can't.
Managed platforms
Hosting is baked in. We manage themes, apps, integrations, and the ongoing content and performance work.
| Host | Entry price | Best for | Our take |
|---|---|---|---|
K Kinsta | $35/mo | Growing WordPress | Best support in the category. Pick if the site earns revenue. |
W WP Engine | $30/mo | Larger teams / WooCommerce | Solid staging discipline, roles, and audit logs. |
C Cloudways | $14/mo | Price / performance | Great value if you have someone managing the server profile. |
S SiteGround | $3.99/mo | Brochure WordPress | Reliable shared plans. Fine for content sites. |
H Hostinger | $2.99/mo | Budget WordPress | Cheap works if the maintenance layer is watching. |
Prices from each vendor's public pricing page, verified July 2026. We don't resell any of these hosts.
Same playbook whether you're on Kinsta, Cloudways, or the shared plan you set up 5 years ago and never touched again.
We audit your current host, recommend the right fit for your traffic and stack, and migrate you to it at no extra cost. No affiliate padding — we recommend what actually works for your case.
Every plugin, theme, and core update runs in staging first. A human loads homepage, contact form, and checkout after. Never auto-pushed to production.
Offsite, not just on the host. Restored on staging every month to prove the backup actually works — a backup you've never restored is a hope, not a plan.
30 second uptime checks, malware scanning, firewall rules, form submission monitoring. You hear from us before your customers do.
Core Web Vitals audit every quarter with before/after LCP, INP, CLS numbers. Query profiling, image + font optimization, page cache + object cache tuning.
You still pay your host directly (we don't resell hosting), but the human accountable for the site is us. One engineer to call when something breaks, not a support tier lottery.
We provide the maintenance. We recommend and manage the hosting but we don't resell it — you pay Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways, SiteGround, or Hostinger directly. That way you own the account, you get their full support, and we're not making a margin on your bandwidth. The maintenance runs on top: tested updates, verified backups, security, and performance. One relationship, honest pricing.
Because reselling hosting creates a conflict of interest. If we made a margin on your hosting bill, we'd have a reason to over-recommend expensive hosts. Instead we recommend what actually fits your traffic and stack, migrate you for free, and get paid only for the maintenance work. Cleaner economics, better recommendations.
Maintenance from $99/mo (Care) to $799/mo (Scale). Hosting varies by host: Kinsta from $35/mo, WP Engine from $30/mo, Cloudways from $14/mo, SiteGround from $3.99/mo, Hostinger from $2.99/mo. Total for a typical growing WordPress site is $150 to $250/mo all-in.
For growing WordPress: Kinsta (best support), WP Engine (best for larger teams), or Cloudways (best price/performance). For brochure WordPress: SiteGround. For budget WordPress with active watching: Hostinger. For managed platforms (Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow) hosting is baked in and we manage the application layer.
Yes. Free migration is included when you sign up for any care plan. We migrate the site, verify every URL, update DNS, install SSL, and run a full smoke test before switching production over. Zero downtime on 95% of migrations.
We monitor for it. If Kinsta or your host has a security incident, we get the disclosure through our channels usually before it's public, and we assess the impact on your specific site before you have to ask. If your site is affected, we clean it under the emergency response SLA of your plan.
Free 20 minute hosting review. We audit your current host, benchmark TTFB and cache behaviour, and tell you whether a migration is worth it. No sales pitch — we don't resell hosting.
