After launch, it keeps running.
Domain, hosting, certificates, updates, backups, : the part that is left over after launch and otherwise lands on your desk. We run your site on Vercel or Cloudflare, watch it daily, and get in touch before you notice anything.
- Our default for Next.js projects, served from Frankfurt and worldwide
- Alternative with its own network, and protection at the edge
- Checks availability continuously and alerts on failure
- Backups
- Every version stays restorable, including after a change
The same money, two different operations.
Hosting sells badly because you cannot see it. You notice it when something goes down, when the certificate expires, or when an update breaks the site and nobody is responsible. The same seven questions, asked once of how we run a site and once of a usual hosting tariff.
Where the site sits
With usIn a network of data centres, served from the nearest one
Usual tariffOn one server in one place, the same trip for every visitor
When an update goes wrong
With usBack to the previous version, one click, seconds
Usual tariffRestore a backup, downtime included
TLS certificate
With usIssued automatically and renews itself
Usual tariffHas to be renewed and expires when it is not
Under a rush of visitors
With usScales with it, nobody has to intervene
Usual tariffSlows down, and at worst the site is unreachable
Attacks from outside
With usDDoS protection and firewall sit in front of the server, in the network
Usual tariffWhatever the booked tariff happens to include
Who installs updates
With usWe do, checked on a preview before it goes live
Usual tariffYou do, in the evening, straight onto the running site
What you have to do yourself
With usNothing
Usual tariffDomain, DNS, certificate, editing system, backups, updates
The last row is the expensive one, and it appears in nobody's quote. Setting up domain, DNS, certificate, editing system, backups and updates yourself is not an afternoon, and running it only starts afterwards. For a business owner those are days that were worth more somewhere else.
Three situations where maintenance is cheaper than its absence.
Nobody is responsible
The site runs somewhere, the credentials sit with a former provider, and nobody knows when the certificate expires. That surfaces the day the browser starts warning your visitors.
The site has already gone down once
A few hours of downtime cost enquiries, and if it lasts longer, rankings too. Without you usually hear about it from a customer rather than from your provider.
Small changes never get made
New opening hours, a price, a team photo. Ten minutes of work each, in practice months out of date, because nobody owns it and every request triggers a fresh quote.
Operation, care and one contact .
Every maintenance agreement contains the same foundation. Larger work such as new pages or features is agreed in advance and billed separately.
What we deliberately do not do
- No minimum term and no automatic renewal
- No licence model: code, domain and credentials stay yours
- No exit barrier — if you leave, everything leaves with you
- 01Hosting on or , chosen per project
- 02Global , so load time does not depend on location
- 03SSL certificates, renewal included
- 04 protection and at platform level
- 05Daily backups and to the last working version
- 06Round-the-clock with alerting
- 07Security and dependency updates
- 08Small content changes within the agreed scope
- 09One named contact, not a ticket system
Two platforms, one decision per project.
Classic web hosting means a server that reassembles your page on every request. That is exactly where the waiting, the security holes and the update evenings that break something come from.
We serve finished pages from a network of data centres instead. Whether yours runs on or on is a per-project decision: both are fast, both scale, and neither ties you to us. If your project needs a shop or an editing system, the matching foundation comes with it and the operating model stays the same.
Neither of those is a well kept secret. and are among the platforms a substantial part of today's web runs on, and they set the standards for speed and defence that the rest follows. This is one place where we deliberately do not look for something cheaper. Security and load time are the ground everything promised on the other pages of this site stands on, and saving money there means saving on the substance.
From 20 euros a month.
Basic is 20 euros a month, Premium 50, and larger projects are quoted individually. It is billed separately from the project price so you can see what you are paying for. It stays cancellable at any time, and your site moves with you in full.
What clients ask about maintenance before committing.
What does website maintenance cost per month?
Basic is 20 euros a month, Premium 50. That covers hosting, certificates, backups, monitoring and security updates. For larger sites with a shop or an editing system we quote by effort and name the figure up front.
Do I even need a maintenance agreement?
If you keep an eye on certificates, updates, backups and uptime yourself, no. For everybody else it is the cheaper option: a single emergency usually costs more than a year of care, because the first job is working out what actually broke.
What happens if the site goes down?
Monitoring raises an alert as soon as the site stops responding. We normally see it before you do, and if in doubt we roll back to the last working version instead of hunting around.
Can you host my existing website?
Usually yes. We look first at what it is built on and what a move would involve. If the site is locked to a particular provider or technically at its end, we say so before you move.
Are text and image changes included?
Small adjustments such as opening hours, prices or a swapped image are included within the agreed scope. New pages, new features or a structural rebuild are separate projects, quoted in advance.
Can I leave if I want to switch?
At any time. There is no minimum term and no automatic renewal. Code, domain, content and every credential belong to you and move with you in full.
What we work on
Web design
When the site itself is the problem, maintenance only goes so far. What a rebuild includes and what it costs.
SEO
Uptime and load time are ranking factors. How a site that runs becomes a site that gets found.
Agency
Who works here, how we decide, and why the prices look the way they do.
White Whale Score
Operations and delivery are a category of their own in the rating. What gets checked there, and how our own site came out.
We look at what is running today.
