Hosting
Managed hosting, SSL, backups, and updates for a site that isn't already on one of our website plans.
If your site is already on a Digital Space website plan, hosting is included, this page is for everyone else: a site built elsewhere that needs somewhere fast, secure, and properly looked after to actually live. We run it on the same modern infrastructure as every client site we build ourselves, with an SSL certificate kept renewed automatically and daily backups, so a bad update or an outage never means starting again from nothing. We monitor uptime around the clock and get alerted before most visitors would ever notice a problem.

From the Care plan upward, we also apply framework and security updates as part of the service, and give you a small monthly allowance of changes, a new offer on the homepage, an updated opening time, a swapped photo, without you needing to touch code or wait on a freelancer. If something does break, you contact us directly, not a ticket queue that routes you to whoever's free. Response times are built into the plan itself: Care gets priority support, and Business adds a four-hour response window plus a staging site, so bigger changes can be tested before they go live. Moving your existing site across is handled by our team and quoted up front, with a short maintenance window agreed in advance and a working rollback plan if anything doesn't come across cleanly. Your domain and email keep working throughout the move.

FAQ
Questions
Is hosting really included in every plan?
Yes. SSL, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and ongoing updates are part of every website plan from Bronze upward: there's no separate hosting bill.
Who are hosting plans for?
Hosting plans are only for when you don't have a website or app built by us, and you want your own site or application hosted by us. Websites and apps we build already include hosting.
What happens if the site goes down?
We're alerted automatically and fix it as part of your plan. You can also contact us directly rather than waiting on a support queue.
