— Why we host
Because good hosting is invisible.
We've watched too many small-business sites go down on bargain-basement hosts, get compromised on shared servers, or disappear behind locked control panels nobody could access. So we built a hosting service we'd trust with our own clients — because it's where our own clients live.
- 01
Not a reseller play
Real infrastructure we actively manage, not a rebrand of someone else's $3 hosting. When your site has a problem, we can actually do something about it.
- 02
Support that goes to our team
The phone number and email route to our Eugene office — not a ticket queue halfway around the world. Most issues are resolved within hours, not days.
- 03
Built for WordPress, specifically
LiteSpeed servers with LSCache, WordPress-tuned PHP configuration, Git-deployable, WP-CLI available. Not a generic "all-purpose" hosting trying to do everything badly.
— What's included
Everything you need. None of the noise.
LiteSpeed servers
Significantly faster than the Apache-based shared hosting most budget providers run. LiteSpeed Cache plugin pre-installed and configured.
Daily automatic backups
Off-server daily backups with 30-day retention. One-click restore. Because "nightly backup" means nothing until you actually need one.
Continuous malware scanning
Always-on scanning with automatic cleanup on detection. If something slips through, we fix it — no emergency invoice.
Multi-layer firewall
Server-level firewall + application-level WAF. Blocks the 95% of automated attacks that don't deserve a second thought.
Free SSL, auto-renewed
HTTPS on every site, certificates auto-renewed, no upsell, no extra charge. This stopped being optional years ago.
Uptime monitoring
1-minute interval checks from multiple geographies. If your site goes down, we often know and fix it before you do.
Staging environments
One-click staging for testing updates and changes before pushing to production. Standard on all managed plans.
Email forwarding
Domain email forwarding included. For full mailbox hosting we recommend Google Workspace — we'll set it up if you want.
Eugene-based human support
Real WordPress developers. Not chatbots, not Tier-1 scripts, not timezone-roulette. Same-day response on real issues.

— Migration promise
We'll move your site for free. You won't feel it.
Most small businesses stall on hosting changes because migration sounds scary. It shouldn't be. Here's how it actually works.
- Day 1 — We clone your site to a staging URL on our servers. Your current site stays live, untouched.
- Day 2–3 — We verify everything works — pages, forms, integrations, email. You check it yourself.
- Day 4 — We switch DNS when you say go. Typical downtime: 0 minutes. Worst case: a few seconds.
- Day 5 — Old host can be canceled. You're done thinking about hosting.

— Frequently asked
Hosting, in plain English.
Do I have to use your hosting if you build my site?
No. We'll build and host wherever you want. Most of our clients move to us because it's simpler — one bill, one team, and when something breaks nobody passes the buck. But you're never required to host with us.
Can you migrate my existing WordPress site?
Yes. Migrations are free for new hosting clients. We clone the site to our servers, verify everything works on a staging URL, and switch DNS only when you approve. Zero downtime in the vast majority of migrations.
What happens if my site gets hacked on your hosting?
We scan continuously, catch most intrusions before you notice, clean the infection, restore from backup, and harden the entry point. Cleanup is included on managed-hosting plans — not an emergency upsell.
Is your hosting faster than GoDaddy or Bluehost?
Yes. We run LiteSpeed servers, which are significantly faster than the Apache-based shared hosting GoDaddy, Bluehost, and HostGator use. Most of our sites load in under a second and pass Core Web Vitals — both hard to achieve on budget shared hosting.
Do you do domain registration too?
Yes. We register, renew, and manage DNS for clients who want one less thing to track. Or keep your domain at your current registrar — we're happy either way. We do not lock or hostage your domain.
Do you offer discounts for nonprofits?
Yes. We host a number of Oregon nonprofits and offer reduced pricing. Contact us with your nonprofit status and we'll put together a plan that fits your budget.
Do you host non-WordPress sites?
Our hosting is tuned specifically for WordPress. For static sites or simple HTML, we can accommodate. For other CMS platforms (Drupal, Joomla, custom apps) we refer to specialized hosts.
Ready for hosting that just works?
Tell us about your site. We'll migrate it for free, and you'll stop thinking about hosting again.
