Managed hosting
Everything below the site line, handled.
You write, sell, and publish. We do everything underneath: the deploys, the certificates, the backups, the patches, the 2am pages. One flat monthly price, an engineer of record accountable for all of it.

What's included
Six things you never think about again
Every plan carries all six — Ember to Foundry only changes how much site there is to care for. As you scroll each one, watch it check itself off the list.
Deploys, done for you
Send us the new build — or point us at a repo — and it goes live cleanly. Static sites, WordPress, small Node and PHP apps. We stage first, review it properly, then ship.
- Git push or zip file, your choice
- Staging preview before anything goes live
- Rollbacks kept warm for two weeks
Certificates that renew themselves
Every site gets TLS from day one, renewed automatically well before expiry, with modern ciphers and HTTP/3. You will never see a padlock warning, and neither will your visitors.
- Let's Encrypt, auto-renewed
- A+ grade TLS configuration
- HSTS once you're ready for it
Backups in three rings
Nightly incrementals, weekly fulls, monthly archives — encrypted and copied off-node. Restores are rehearsed, not hoped for; we test one at random every month.
- Nightly at 02:00, kept 30 days
- Weekly fulls, kept 12 weeks
- Monthly archives, kept a year
Patches on a schedule
Operating system, web server, runtimes, and CMS cores get updated in a weekly window — read the changelog, snapshot, apply, verify. Boring on purpose.
- Weekly patch window, Tuesday 06:00
- Snapshot taken before every update
- Security patches applied out-of-band, same day
Watched every sixty seconds
Every beacon node — and every site on it — is checked from outside the network once a minute, 24/7. Two consecutive failures page an engineer immediately — usually before you've noticed anything.
- 60-second checks from two vantage points
- Alerts get acted on, not archived
- Public status page at /status
One inbox, straight answers
Support comes from the engineering side of the platform — root access, full context, no script. Same-day resolution in most cases, honest ETAs always.
- No ticket tiers, no scripts
- Same-day resolution in most cases
- A real phone number on the Foundry plan
Under the hood
Boring, proven, ours
No exotic stack, no beta software near your site. Just well-worn tools on metal we own and can physically touch — configured once, carefully, and watched forever.
OS
Ubuntu LTS, hardened
Web
Nginx · HTTP/3
TLS
Let's Encrypt, auto-renewed
Backups
restic → encrypted off-node
Isolation
one container per client site
Access
SSH keys only, no passwords
Who it's for
Made for sites with an owner, not a department
If you have a DevOps team, you don't need us. If your website matters and you'd rather never think about servers, you're exactly who this is for.
Small businesses
The bakery, the clinic, the workshop. Your site is your storefront and you'd rather run your business than a server.
Studios & portfolios
Photographers, architects, writers. Work that deserves to load fast and never wear a security warning.
Projects that grew up
The side project that found real users. Time to move it off the free tier and onto something someone actually watches.
The honest comparison
Against the alternatives
Every option below works for someone. Here's where each one actually leaves you when something goes wrong.
| Hostfluency | DIY VPS | Website builders | Big hosts | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who fixes it at 2am | An engineer, paged in 60s | You do | Nobody — file a ticket | Tier-one script reader |
| Hardware | Owned outright — low-density beacon nodes | Rented slice, noisy neighbors | Opaque, shared | Oversold shared racks |
| Backups | Nightly + weekly + monthly, test-restored | If you set them up | Platform-locked exports | Paid add-on, rarely tested |
| Updates & patches | Weekly window, snapshotted | Your Saturday afternoon | Handled, but you own nothing | Auto-updates that break plugins |
| You can leave with | Everything, free, same week | Everything (it's your mess) | A CSV and regret | A zip file after 3 support calls |
| Price honesty | $19–79/mo, flat | $6/mo + your evenings | $16–40/mo + transaction fees | $3 teaser → $15 renewal |
Hand over the pager.
Start on Ember at $19/mo, or tell us about your site and we'll recommend a tier. Migration is free either way.
Ember $19 · Forge $39 · Foundry $79 — per month, no contracts
