Restore plan, not hope

Overview
Why host with me
You do not have to. Care is simpler when hosting and code sit under one roof. I can also maintain a site on a host you already use.
Details
What care covers
Written plan per site — not a mystery monthly fee.
Domains and DNS
- Connect and transfer help
- Records without guesswork
- Email authentication guidance (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
Backups and updates
- Backup cadence that matches the site
- Core and plugin updates with eyes open
- Restore process thought through
Support
- Help when something breaks
- Security basics
- Honest advice when a rebuild is cheaper than endless patches
In practice
I help set up professional addresses (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and similar). Mailbox fees are usually paid straight to the provider. I wire DNS so mail actually delivers.
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.
