Important: Please Read Before Signing Up
Email hosting is separate. Here's what you need to know.
Our hosting plans cover your WordPress website, not your email. This is important if your current web host is also where your email lives.
- Moving from another host?
If your current web host also manages your email (like GoDaddy or Bluehost), you’ll need to either keep paying them for email separately, or move your email to a platform like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. We can help you do this for a separate setup fee.
- Already using Google Workspace or M365?
You’re all set! Your email lives independently from your web host, so the migration to our hosting won’t affect it at all. Just let us know during onboarding.
- Brand new business?
We recommend setting up Google Workspace for professional email. We can assist with the setup for a one-time fee and make sure everything is properly connected to your new site.

FAQ
Common Questions Answered
Yes. Hosting with us is required to provide proper monitoring, security, backups, and optimization. The migration is a smooth, zero-downtime process and we handle all of it.
Not a problem! We can take over care of any existing WordPress site. There is a one-time $100 audit and setup fee to make sure your site is in good shape before we begin.
No. Truly “unhackable” doesn’t exist. What we can do is make your site significantly harder to hack, monitor it constantly, and clean up fast if anything ever does get in.
No. Our plans are focused entirely on technical hosting, security, and performance. Content updates and edits are not included in any tier. We can refer you to options for that separately.
Your email is not affected if it’s on Google Workspace or M365. If your email lives with your current web host, you’ll need to decide on a plan for it before migrating. See the section above for details.
We require 30 days notice via email. Upon cancellation, we’ll provide your latest backup. A site transfer fee applies if you’d like us to move the site to a new host for you.
Yes! If you have more than one WordPress site, reach out for a custom multi-site quote. We offer discounts for bundled plans.
Many WordPress sites use premium plugins or themes that require a paid license to operate and receive updates. Those licenses are your responsibility to maintain. In some cases, we hold developer licenses that may cover software used on your site, and we will let you know during onboarding if that applies to you. If we purchase a license on your behalf, it will be added to your invoice.
