Websites rot. Ours don't.

Every maintained site gets the same discipline: updates and security patches on schedule, daily backups with tested restores, and monitoring that watches uptime and speed around the clock. Not when we remember. On schedule.

Hosting is European and managed by us. One accountable party for server, code and content — when something breaks, there is no vendor triangle, just a fix.

You get a monthly report with uptime, speed and what we changed. Content edits are included, and priority support means you talk to someone who already knows your site. Send the change; it gets done.

Managed hosting in Europe, on purpose

Where your website lives is a legal decision as much as a technical one. Hosting on EU infrastructure means your visitors’ data sits under European jurisdiction — the simplest possible starting position for GDPR — and it means physics is on your side: servers close to your visitors shave real milliseconds off every request.

Managed, in our vocabulary, means we run the machine. Docker-based deployments, TLS and security headers configured correctly, edge caching in front, a staging environment so changes are tested before your customers see them. You never talk to a hosting provider’s support chat, because we are the hosting provider’s customer, not you. One invoice, one responsible party, one phone number when it matters.

Fast decays without discipline

Website maintenance has an image problem because most of it is theater — a plugin updated here, an invoice there, no measurable standard behind any of it. We run maintenance against numbers instead. Every maintained site is held to the same floor as our new builds: Lighthouse 95 or higher, main content under 1.5 seconds on 4G mobile, checked continuously with Lighthouse CI rather than glanced at when someone complains.

This is not perfectionism; it is revenue protection. Core Web Vitals feed Google rankings, and speed feeds conversion. A site that quietly gains a second of load time over a year quietly loses the customers that second was holding. Our builds start with an advantage here — static-first, hand-coded, no plugin soup to rot — but the discipline is what keeps the advantage compounding.

Backups are only real when tested

Everyone has backups until they need one. Then it turns out the backup job failed silently in March, or it saved the database without the files, or the restore takes a heroic weekend nobody rehearsed. A backup that has never been restored is not a backup. It is a hope with a filename.

Ours are daily, stored off-site, and actually restored on a test schedule so we know the procedure works and how long it takes. When something does go wrong — a bad deployment, a corrupted update, human error — recovery is a documented routine, not an improvisation at two in the morning.

Monitoring that acts, not just alerts

Uptime monitoring is cheap; response is what costs. Our monitoring watches availability and speed around the clock, and when something moves — the site slows, a certificate nears expiry, a service misbehaves — we investigate before you have noticed anything. Most incidents on maintained sites are resolved before the client learns they happened, which is exactly the standard: you find out from our report, not from a customer.

That report arrives monthly and says what a business owner needs in plain language — uptime, speed against the Lighthouse floor, patches applied, content changes shipped, and anything that needs a decision from you. Maintenance done properly is invisible. The report exists to prove the invisible is happening.
