A faster, more secure, fully managed alternative to GoDaddy and other cheap WordPress hosting — run by a New England team just over the Rhode Island line. Many of our clients are Massachusetts businesses. We handle the updates, backups, security, and speed so you can run yours.
Cheap hosting is cheap for a reason — you do the work, on servers packed with thousands of other sites. Here’s the difference, line by line.
| GoDaddy & cheap hosts | Site Schema | |
|---|---|---|
| Updates, backups & security | Mostly your job | We handle it for you |
| Server performance | Oversold shared servers | Right-sized, monitored 24/7 |
| Support | Tickets + constant upsells | Real human help, based in New England |
| Backups | Often a paid add-on | Nightly · 30-day retention |
| Uptime monitoring | Off until you activate it · 5-min default | On from day one · every minute |
| Catches a break behind a “200 OK” | Only if you set a keyword yourself | Yes — we read the page itself |
| Migration | Do it yourself | Free, done for you |
| Plain-language reports | No | Yes |
Want the long version? What “managed” actually covers.
Most hosts will tell you they monitor your site. What they usually mean is that something asks your server whether it’s awake. That misses the way WordPress actually breaks: the page still answers, it just isn’t your website any more.
A Cape shop’s checkout can stop taking orders, and a Boston firm’s site can serve a database error to every visitor while the server still answers politely. We find that within minutes, not when a client emails to ask what happened.
Not every five. From more than one region, with confirmation re-checks so a blip never becomes a false alarm — confirmed downtime reaches you by email in about two minutes.
A WordPress site with a database error answers a monitor with a normal “200 OK”. We recognise those failure screens by name, so a site that came back broken counts as down — and the alert says what we found.
How the checks workCatalogue, products from the database, the cart and whether a payment method is still being offered, and the checkout page — every five minutes, read-only, with no test orders.
What we check on a storeFree auto-renewing SSL, malware protection, and a hardened WordPress setup — managed for you.
Encrypted nightly backups with one-click restore and 30-day history. Hourly available for stores.
Server-level caching and tuned PHP keep your site quick — without you installing a single plugin.
A readable weekly summary of what’s healthy and what needs a look. No jargon, no dashboards to learn.
Talk to the people who actually run the platform — a New England company, not an overseas queue.
We move your site off GoDaddy (or any host) for free, with no downtime — usually within a day.
From our base in East Greenwich, RI, we’re within an hour of most of Massachusetts — Boston, the South Shore, Worcester, and the South Coast. Many of our clients are here already, and we’re glad to meet in person.
Not on the list? We serve all of Massachusetts — and the rest of New England. Also serving Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Boston.
Massachusetts has the densest professional-services market in New England — law, healthcare, finance, consulting, and a deep bench of specialist firms across Greater Boston, Worcester, and the 495 belt. Nearly all of them compete for the same searches.
In that market page speed isn’t a vanity metric. It affects what Google shows and whether a prospective client waits for your site or backs out to the next result. Server-level caching and tuned PHP do more for that than any plugin — and they’re our job, not yours.
Speed is the part most owners underestimate. Server-level caching and tuned PHP do more for it than any plugin you can install, and both are our job rather than yours — which matters in a market where the next firm down the list is one back-button away.
The other half is not being quietly broken. A site that has thrown a certificate warning for a fortnight, or that has been down since a plugin update on Sunday, is costing you the enquiries you never hear about. Checks run every minute from more than one region, with confirmation re-checks so a blip never becomes a false alarm, and confirmed downtime reaches you by email in about two minutes.
It is free, we do it for you, and your site stays up the whole time. Here is the whole process, so “no downtime” is something you can check rather than something you have to take our word for.
We take a full copy of the site — files, database, uploads, plugins, themes — and rebuild it on our servers. Nothing changes on your live site while this happens, and it keeps serving from your old host exactly as it did before.
The copy runs on a private address first. We walk the pages that matter — the homepage, contact form, and on a store the catalogue, cart and checkout — and fix anything the move disturbed. Most sites need nothing; older ones sometimes need a plugin updated to work on a current PHP version.
You get the private link and check it yourself. This is the point to say “the fonts look wrong” or “that form goes to the wrong inbox”, and nothing is switched over until you are happy.
One DNS change points your domain at the new copy. Both copies are live and identical through the changeover, so visitors reach a working site whichever one they land on — that is what “no downtime” actually means. SSL is issued and renewing before the switch, so no one meets a certificate warning.
Monitoring, nightly backups and updates start immediately. We keep an eye on the first days closely, because that is when anything the move missed shows up — and if something does, the backup from before the switch is one click away.
Most moves finish inside a day. A large store, or a site with something unusual bolted to it, can take longer — we will tell you which one you are before we start rather than after.
One site, fully looked after. Every plan includes free migration from GoDaddy, nightly backups, free SSL, security, and support.
