Managed Hosting Service

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

Including everything in our Self-Managed Plan

When we launch a new website the software that powers the website is fully licensed and up-to-date. Furthermore for 3 months we provide the peace of mind of website support. This is why we recommend our Self-Managed Plan to all new customers.

Our Managed Hosting Service includes all the features of our Self Managed Hosting Plan. This includes your award winning website hosting service, your domain name registration, your SSL certificate and a generous 3 email accounts.

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. It 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 whereas the commercial programs will only update during the first year of use. 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 and update the software. 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 (after 3 months use) will be recommended to upgrade their service to our Managed Plan.

Fully Managed Hosting - £229 / Year

For less than £20 a month we provide everything in our Self Hosted Plan that your website needs – plus the peace of mind that it will be kept up to date with updates and regularly backed up to cloud storage and with Website Support included as well! Providing a perfect solution for Owners who don’t want to get involved in the technicalities of maintaining their own website.

Many will offer at least four different service packages with ‘regular pricing’ hidden behind a massively discounted promotional price for the first year.

Often the cheapest service will not be fit for purpose for a business so these clients should expect to be encouraged to upgrade either to the next tiered service or by purchasing expensive add-on products such as SSL certificates or Email services. Another Or you may find these services will be bundled into the first year pricing for free before being presented with a premium price tag when time comes for renewal.

Choosing a Domain Name for your Holiday Accommodation Website
