Servers
What we actually do on your server
Your domain, your cheap Ubuntu box, HTTPS, and a login so you can change words. You still pay the host every month.
Buying files and promising you’ll “host it later” is how sites sit in a Downloads folder until next year. If you want people to find you, the site has to live on a real domain with a lock in the address bar.
That’s the $149 plan: you bring a small Linux server and a domain. We put the site on it. You write the rest. The $349 plan is that plus we write it like your business. We’re not your hosting company either way.
On a typical job we
- Point your domain at your box.
- Get the site running with HTTPS.
- Give you an admin login so you can change a sentence without calling us.
- Click through home, contact, and admin so we know it works.
If you don’t have a server yet, add “Help me get a server” for $49 and we’ll walk you through opening a cheap Ubuntu box. You still pay that company every month.
Don’t reuse sample passwords. Keep a backup. One person who can log in, plus one backup person, is plenty.
