Site care

Kept, the way good things are kept.

Hosting is where your site lives; care is why it lasts. Three rings of backups, a steady update rhythm, certificates that never lapse, and eyes on it every minute of every day.

Backups

Three rings, so nothing slips through

One backup is a wish. Three, on different rhythms and different hardware, is a policy. Every ring is encrypted, and one restore is rehearsed at random each month.

Daily

kept 30 days

02:00, every night

Incremental snapshot of files and database — only what changed, encrypted before it leaves the node.

Weekly

kept 12 weeks

Sunday, 03:00

Full copy of everything, verified against checksums, stored off-node on separate hardware.

Monthly

kept 12 months

1st of the month

Long-term archive sealed to offsite cold storage. The one you hope to never need — and we test anyway.

Updates

A patch window you could set a watch by

Tuesday, 06:00: read the changelogs, snapshot the node, apply, verify, note it in your next report. Security patches don't wait for Tuesday — those land the day they ship.

Certificates

SSL you'll never think about

Certificates renew themselves thirty days before expiry. If renewal ever failed, we'd know within the hour — you'd simply never see it.

Monitoring

Watched while you sleep

Uptime monitoring isn't a feature here; it's the platform's reflex — running 24/7.

  • Every sixty seconds

    Two independent vantage points ask your site if it's alive. One minute is the longest anything can be wrong before we know.

  • A page, not a dashboard

    Two failed checks in a row page an engineer directly. Most issues are fixed before the third check runs.

  • Public status, always

    The same signal we watch is published at /status. If something's wrong, you'll never have to wonder.

The monthly report

Proof of care, in writing

On the first of each month you get this: real numbers, no dashboard login, and a note from the engineer of record on your account. Here's a sample.

Engineer's note

“Quiet month. Traffic up 12% after your newsletter went out on the 9th — your node didn't blink. I trimmed two unused plugins during the June 17 window, which shaved ~40ms off page loads. Nothing needs your attention.”

— your engineer of record, July 1
