The server
SSL, a current PHP version, and a backup you can actually restore.
Hosting
Hosting that is looked after.
SSL, backups, DNS and a planned move onto a server I can support. Monthly updates and small content changes are a different job — that is the care page.
SSL
HTTPS everywhere
Backups
Restore plan, not hope
Support

Overview
What hosting means here
Hosting is the server the site sits on: the certificate, the PHP version, the backups, and the DNS that makes the domain and email work.
You do not have to move. If you already trust your host, I can still do updates on that server. Hosting with me is for when you want one person responsible for the box.
Details
What is included
Infrastructure and the move. Not a bag of monthly edits.
DNS and email
Help connecting or transferring the domain. Mail records so a professional address delivers. Mailbox fees are paid to Google or Microsoft, not to me.
Moving a site
Files, database and a check that forms still arrive. I do this when I built the site, or when you want me to take one over from another host.
Not included here
Plugin updates, new pages and copy changes. Those are care plans. I will say which one you need instead of folding both into one vague fee.
In practice
Care is the other page
If the site is already on a sensible host and you want someone to update it and fix small things, start with care.
If the site needs to move, or the backups have never been tested, start here.
Outcomes
What you are buying
Uptime and SSL
Site stays reachable over HTTPS.
Someone who knows the stack
Not a ticket queue that has never seen your code.
A backup you can restore
Not a file nobody has tested.
Not sure which you need?
Tell me what the site runs on. I will say whether to move it or leave it and add care.
Process
Onboarding
Inventory, plan, move, steady state.
Inventory
Site type, domain, email, DNS, plugins.
Plan
Cutover window and what changes.
Migrate
Files, database, SSL, smoke tests.
Care
Updates, backups, support channel.

Need a host or a move?
Tell me the current host and whether email is already working. I will suggest a plan without renaming it as “full service”.
