Website Hosting Services

Burroughs Digital provides managed website hosting — fast, monitored WordPress hosting from the same people who build and maintain your site. Hosting is the layer of the stack businesses think about least and feel most: server response time is the floor under every speed score, uptime is whether your business exists at 2 PM on a Tuesday, and when something breaks, the difference between “our host” and “some host” is measured in hours of downtime and rounds of finger-pointing.

Blake’s background is in IT, so the technical side is one main way we set ourselves apart from the competition.

The pitch here is not that we’ve reinvented servers — it’s accountability consolidation: your site, its maintenance, and the infrastructure it runs on, under one roof, with one phone number, and nobody to blame but us. That arrangement is worth more than any spec sheet, and we say so plainly.

What Hosting Actually Determines

Your speed floor. Server response time (TTFB) caps everything our speed optimization work can achieve downstream — the finest-tuned site on an overloaded $4/month shared server is a race car in traffic. Google’s Core Web Vitals measure the whole experience, server included.

Your existence, measured in uptime. Downtime isn’t an inconvenience; it’s your business closed with the lights on — missed calls, abandoned carts, and ads billing for clicks to an error page. Monitoring that alerts us before customers alert you is the difference between an incident and a reputation event.

Your worst day’s outcome. When a site breaks, generic hosting support sees an anonymous account; hosting bundled with the team that knows your build sees your site, with context, backups in hand, and no gap between “hosting problem” and “website problem” for the issue to fall into.

What Our Managed Hosting Includes

Infrastructure matched to the build. WordPress-tuned server environments — modern PHP, server-level caching, SSD storage, CDN where the audience warrants it — sized to your actual traffic rather than sold by tier-upselling. Sites we build are deployed onto hosting configured for exactly how they’re constructed; inherited sites get audited first so the environment fits the site, not the reverse.

Security at the server layer. SSL certificates managed and renewed (expired-certificate warnings kill trust instantly), firewalls, malware scanning, and isolation — the infrastructure half of the security posture our maintenance plans complete at the application layer.

Backups, offsite and restore-tested. Automated schedules with retention, stored independently of the server they protect, and actually tested — the house rule that a backup never restored is a hope, not a plan.

Monitoring with humans attached. Uptime and performance watched continuously, with alerting that reaches people empowered to act — and per house process, a report that shows uptime, speed, and what was handled, monthly, because infrastructure you’re paying for should prove itself too.

Email and DNS, handled sanely. Domain DNS is managed, and email is routed through proper hosted email rather than the server-based email that ends up in spam folders — the unglamorous configuration that determines whether your proposals get seen.

Hosting is priced flatly by site tier on the pricing page, pairs with maintenance as a single care plan for one sensible invoice, and comes with honest counsel in both directions: if your current hosting is genuinely good, we’ll say so and leave it alone — and if your site’s problems are hosting-shaped, the audit will show the receipts. Migrations onto our hosting are handled end-to-end, downtime-free, with DNS cutover managed carefully — moving hosts, done right, is invisible.

Website Hosting — Frequently Asked Questions

What’s wrong with my $5/month hosting plan?

Possibly nothing — for a hobby site. For a business site, cheap shared hosting typically means slow server response, noisy-neighbor performance swings, and support-by-queue when it matters. The audit measures whether your floor is the source of your speed problems.

Do I have to use your hosting if you build my site?

No — every site we build deploys happily anywhere, because ownership is the whole philosophy. Our hosting is the convenience-and-accountability option, not a requirement or a lock-in.

Will moving my website to new hosting cause downtime?

Not when it’s done properly: the site is migrated and verified in the new environment before the DNS cutover, so the switch is seamless. Botched migrations cause downtime; sequenced ones don’t.

Do you host non-WordPress websites?

Our hosting is tuned for WordPress, where our expertise concentrates. Other platforms get honest referrals to hosting that fits them better.
