Website hosting and maintenance plans
We keep your website running after it goes live. Your site comes with its first year of hosting. After that, plans start at £15 a month, with no VAT to add and no minimum term.
How much does website maintenance cost?
Three plans. Pick one. Host keeps your site online. Care adds changes and a monthly report. Grow adds Google, local search and one advert campaign, run for you. Every site we build or move includes six months of Care or Grow.

Every plan: 0% commission on your sales, no VAT to add, and you own the code.
Included with every site. A move comes with six months of Care. A new website and Start a business come with three months of Grow, then Care to the end of month six. Every site comes with the first 12 months of hosting. After that, a plan starts only if you choose it. Cancel any plan you buy on its own. Months included with your site are part of its price.
Before you choose: moves, new pages and ad budgets
Our plans are for sites we build or move. To use one with a site on Wix, Squarespace or another builder, we move it first.
A new page on Care or Grow is never billed. It comes out of the plan’s time, and a bigger page can use next month’s hour too; we say so before we start. On Host, a new page is £190, or changes are £65 an hour.
Grow: your ad budget is separate. Ads cost money on top of the £590. You choose how much, you pay Google directly, and you can pause at any time. We agree the starting figure with you before any ad runs.
What does website maintenance include?
Looked after, on Care: hosting, security and an hour of changes a month.
Web hosting for small businesses: what do you get?
What the Host plan does that a builder leaves to you.

Website built by someone else?
Our plans are for sites we build or move. Paying monthly for a move or a new website, with a deposit and then monthly payments, is coming soon.
