The problem
A live site that nobody watches
A website does not stop at launch. Without updates, monitoring and someone to call, a security issue or a broken form can go unnoticed.
- Shared hosting next to sites you know nothing about
- Security updates put off month after month
- An update that breaks the site, with no way back to the previous version
- No one to reach when the site or a form stops working
What's included
Hosting managed for you
Managed hosting is part of every website we build. Here is what it covers. For the price of a site, see our approach and pricing.
An isolated environment
Your site runs in an environment separate from other clients' sites. Server administration goes through a private network, behind a firewall.
Verified releases
Every change passes a health check before it goes live. If something goes wrong, we put the previous version back online.
HTTPS and security headers
An HTTPS certificate renewed automatically and security headers, including HSTS and a content security policy (CSP), on every site we host.
Monitoring every 15 minutes
Your site is checked automatically every 15 minutes. If a check fails, we get an alert.
Regular updates
Server security updates apply automatically, and a monthly maintenance window covers planned updates.
Protected forms
Your forms are protected against bots, and each request is handled on the server before it goes to your inbox or your system.
Included with our websites
Managed hosting and maintenance have no separate price: they come with your website, from $3,500. The terms are set out in your quote.

Who delivers the work
Steven Lefebvre, founder
Your site is not left alone at a hosting company: it is one person, here, accountable for its upkeep, who answers at 438-376-6494.
How it works
From launch to upkeep
Go-live
We put your site live in its isolated environment, with HTTPS and security headers, then add it to monitoring.
Monitoring and alerts
Your site is checked every 15 minutes. An alert tells us when a check fails.
Monthly maintenance
Every month, a maintenance window applies planned updates. Every change passes the health check before it goes live.
