Managed hosting · Optional, never a trap
I host what I build, if you want me to. If you would rather use another provider, that is perfectly fine — hosting is about keeping things steady and secure, nothing more.
Monthly and simple, not a platform subscription. Care+ is everything in Care, with more of the work done for you.
01 — What Care keeps steady
Your site sits on top. Under it, the layers that keep it up — each one looked after for you. Care+ adds the ones marked for it.
Alchemy Managed Hosting
Yours either way
Your site runs on a server I look after, kept steady and secure.
Care and Care+
The padlock in the address bar — every visit to your site travels encrypted.
Care and Care+
The records that point your domain at your site, set up and kept right for you.
Care and Care+
Your site is watched, so if it stops answering, that is noticed.
Care and Care+
One a month on Care, three on Care+ — up to 30 minutes each.
Care and Care+
Snapshots on a schedule, stored away from the hosting server, with a written restore path that gets tested. Promised only where I control the hosting.
Care+ only
When you ask for something, Care+ requests are taken first.
Care+ only
Care £49 per monthHosting, SSL, DNS, uptime monitoring and one small content edit a month (up to 30 minutes).
Or host it anywhere. Hosting is optional. Your domain, code and content remain yours. Your site never depends on either plan to keep existing — why it is all in your name.
These monthly figures are the full amount — while Alchemy is not GST-registered, no GST is added on top. Your monthly fee is held for 12 months from the day hosting starts; after that, any change comes in writing at least 30 days ahead, and you can cancel before it applies. Past the first 90 days, defects in what I built stay free to fix for as long as you are on Care.
02 — Setup
£150 one-off
Deployment, SSL, DNS and connection of a domain you own — a one-off setup.
Domain registration, renewal and mailbox hosting are shown separately in your written quote. Take hosting or use your own.
03 — The rules
Month to month — cancel in writing at any time; hosting runs to the end of the paid month.
Anything beyond the monthly allowance is charged at the published rate — £95 an hour, with a 1-hour minimum. Anything over four hours is quoted as a job, not billed by the hour.
Hosting is optional. Your domain, code and content remain yours.
04 — Backups and the archive
Free · every build
Your original release, kept for as long as I am trading, and your own copy comes with your handover. If something goes wrong years from now, launch day is there to bring back — even if you never buy hosting from me at all.
