Web Hosting & Maintenance

Web hosting is a service that allows you to store your website files, databases, and other resources on a server that is accessible over the internet. It ensures your website is available and accessible to users 24/7.

The Pro plan is great for those who need reliable WordPress hosting and prefer managing updates and content changes themselves with expert support available. The VIP plan is ideal for those who want added benefits like priority tech support, content changes, unlimited training sessions, and free data recovery. Choose VIP for a fully managed experience and Pro for a solid, self-managed solution.

You can host up to 100 websites on your VIP plan; however, only one of those sites will include free content updates. To receive content update services for additional sites, you would need to sign up for separate VIP plans for each.

Under the VIP plan, you can send in text and images for updates, including adding new pages or editing existing ones. Content changes do not cover graphic design, content writing, web development, or plugin integrations. These services are available at an additional rate of $150/hour, plus any applicable sales tax.

Time on the VIP plan is billed in 15-minute increments, deducted from your 1-hour allowance. To make the most of your available time, it’s best to send updates in larger batches whenever possible.

If you exceed the 1 hour included in the VIP plan, any additional time will be billed at our standard rate of $150/hour, plus sales tax, with a 1-hour minimum. VIP customers benefit from billing in 15-minute increments, ensuring more precise tracking, while non-VIP customers are billed in 30-minute increments. This makes it more cost-effective for VIP clients needing extra support.

No, unused time does not roll over to the following month. However, the VIP plan comes with many other benefits, such as priority tech support, free data recovery, and unlimited training sessions. Considering our hourly rate is $150/hour, using your 1 hour of content changes each month practically offsets the cost of your hosting. That’s a pretty great deal!

Under the Pro and VIP plans, we automatically update the WordPress core and plugins to keep your site secure and running smoothly. You also have the option to enable theme updates through the control panel. Updates are applied nightly whenever new versions are available, ensuring your site stays up-to-date with minimal effort on your part.

All of our hosting plans include the option to create your own backups through the control panel, which we encourage you to do, especially before making potentially breaking changes to your website. In addition, we perform nightly backups of our servers, stored securely at two separate data centers on different continents, with RAID protection for added safety. We maintain daily snapshots that rotate on a 7-day cycle. If you need data restoration and don’t have your own backup, we can retrieve it from our offsite backups for a fee of $150/hour, plus any applicable sales tax. VIP customers, however, receive this backup recovery service at no extra cost. While we take extensive precautions to prevent data loss, our backups are not guaranteed. It’s important to regularly create and download your own backups for safekeeping.

SlamCamp refers to our training sessions designed to help you learn how to make updates to your WordPress website. These sessions are a mix of onsite events at our Knoxville location and virtual classes. VIP customers can attend for free, with up to 2 attendees from their company per session. For non-VIP customers, the cost is $50 per seat. To attend, simply check out the SlamCamp schedule for upcoming sessions and details on how to join.

Yes, you can upgrade your hosting plan as your website grows and your needs change. Our team can assist you with a seamless upgrade process.

We take security seriously and implement a range of measures to help protect your website and data. Our hosting service includes firewalls to help prevent unauthorized access, SSL certificates for encrypted data transmission, and proactive malware scanning to detect and address potential threats. We utilize Imunify360 for added security, offering intrusion detection and defense against a variety of cyber risks. Additionally, 24/7 monitoring is in place to identify and respond to issues as they arise. Regular software and infrastructure updates are also performed to mitigate vulnerabilities and enhance protection.

Yes, you can transfer your existing website to our hosting. We also offer assistance with the transfer at an hourly rate of $150/hour. If you plan to use the VIP plan for the site you’re transferring, we will first need to review it to ensure it meets our criteria for ongoing content updates.

Yes, we offer domain registration services, and you can manage your domains through our control panel, whether or not they are hosted with us. This gives you flexibility and convenience for managing all your domain needs in one place.
