Managed Hosting Service

Our Website Hosting Plan for older websites and customers requiring Website Support

Including everything in our Self-Managed Plan

Our Managed Hosting Service includes all the features of our Self Managed Hosting Plan. In addition, instead of you being responsible for backing up your website and updating your software our Managed Hosting Service takes care of this for you.

Advantages of our Managed Service

1. Software Updates

Your website is made up of several software programs, most notably WordPress itself. Other than WordPress it may contain free-to-use programs that control your SEO and your SSL certificate for example. Your website will also contain commercial programs that control your page builder, your booking system and your website’s framework.

WordPress, together with the free-to-use programs, will update automatically as and when new software updates are available. Any commercial programs however, will only update during the first year after your website has launched. After that, they will continue to work – but they won’t update without their licenses renewed.

Choosing our Managed Service will renew your commercial software licenses ensuring your website’s software is kept up-to-date at all times.

This reduces the opportunity for problems arising on your website. Keeping your software plugins regularly updated will mean your website continue to function when changes happen to 3rd party services (eg: Agency calendar synchronisations, and Payment card processing regulations)

2. Website Support

Owners Websites can only provide Website Support to websites hosted on our Managed Service Plan. This is because we are often unable to troubleshoot and fix website related issues without renewing software to latest versions.  Clients on our Self Managed Standard Hosting Service who require website support will be recommended to upgrade their service to our Managed Plan.

  • Is Managed Hosting For You?

    We recommend Managed Hosting for all websites that interact with third party services. This is because third party services tend to frequently update their systems, software and processes which in turn often require updates to your website.

    Some examples of third parties, for a typical holiday home website, are:

    • Stripe. If they manage payments from your guests.
    • Government. Payment processing legislation changes have affected the behaviour of your booking system.
    • Airbnb/VRBO who sync bookings to and from your website’s calendar

    If you are comfortable maintaining your website yourself and fixing problems should they occur then Self Managed Hosting may be suitable for you but we wouldn’t recommend it if your website relies upon your booking system and payment functionality.

    • Software Updates

      When your software stays up-to-date, there’s much less chance of things going wrong. Our Managed Hosting service is considerably less expensive than purchasing your own software licenses and updating your plugins yourself.

    • Website Backups

      Don’t be the person that realises they need a backup of their website when they haven’t been taken them. Should your website become infected with malware you will need a clean version of your website to restore.

    • Secure

      Think your business is too small to be hacked? Hackers aren’t specifically targeting your business, they are targeting all businesses that use trustworthy software. We scan your website every day for malware that has infected your website.

      Choosing a Domain Name for your Holiday Accommodation Website

      If you’re not sure what domain name is best for your Holiday Home website why not have a chat with us and we’ll offer up some suggestions.

      There are things you should avoid such as the name being too long and easy to mis-spell. If you can squeeze your local area name into the domain then this will help your website’s search engine performance too.

      If you want to check to see whether your ideal domain name is available either get in touch with us direct or check here instantly.
