Plans
Pick how you want to manage your site.
Three ways to have your site hosted, from fully self-managed to fully done-for-you. Compare them below.
Switching from your current host? Moving your site over is free — and if you switch now, we won't charge you until your current hosting expires.
Bare Hosting
Just hosting. Nothing else.
You don't touch your site and don't need to — you just want it hosted fast, secure, and someone else's problem to keep running. Need something changed? We'll quote it hourly, or move up to the Site Care Plan.
- — Fast, reliable hosting
- — Secure domain setup (HTTPS)
- — Backups & uptime monitoring
- — Content changes available on request, billed hourly
- — Professional forwarding address for your domain
Billed annually · incl. GST
Site Care Plan
We update it, not you.
Editing your own site isn't how you want to spend your time. We make the changes, host the site, and you get one bill a year instead of a to-do list.
- — Fast, reliable hosting
- — Secure domain setup (HTTPS)
- — Backups & uptime monitoring
- — Three content updates a year, included
- — Priced at least 10% below Wix / Squarespace
- — Professional forwarding address for your domain
Billed annually · incl. GST
CMS / Self-Edit
Log in and edit it yourself, on WordPress.
You want to make your own changes whenever you like, on a proper CMS, without owning the security patching and uptime monitoring that comes with running WordPress yourself.
- — WordPress hosting
- — Secure domain setup (HTTPS)
- — Backups & uptime monitoring
- — Core & plugin security updates
- — You handle the content, we handle the rest
- — Professional forwarding address for your domain
Billed annually · incl. GST

FAQ
Common questions
Which plan is right for me?
If you never touch your site and just want hosting handled, go Bare Hosting. If you'd rather never touch the back end and have us make the changes, go the Site Care Plan. If you want to edit it yourself but on a proper CMS rather than a page builder, go CMS / Self-Edit.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Sites move between tiers as your needs change — most commonly from Bare Hosting up to the Site Care Plan once someone wants updates included instead of billed hourly, or from CMS / Self-Edit once they'd rather not be the one making updates. Get in touch and we'll sort the switch.
Do I need to already be on WordPress?
No. The Site Care Plan migrates sites from WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace onto hosting we manage directly. CMS / Self-Edit and Bare Hosting are built on WordPress, so if your current site runs on something else we'll move the content across as part of getting set up.
Is hosting included in every plan?
Yes — all three plans include hosting, DNS, SSL, and backups. The difference between them is who makes content changes and how they're billed, not what's running under the hood.
Do you build the website too?
Yes — building the site is a separate one-off price, and the plans cover hosting and upkeep afterwards. See our web design packages for build prices.
Does a hosting plan help me rank on Google?
It covers the technical groundwork — fast, secure, properly maintained — but ranking well for the searches that matter to you is a separate, ongoing job. See our SEO services if that's what you need.
