Part 01
Hosting
AWS, sized for the site, in your account or mine. Not a shared box with a thousand neighbours.
I host, watch and maintain websites
Sheet 01-04 — Care Package
The Care Package: managed hosting, DevOps and support in one monthly retainer — for sites I built and for sites I didn’t. You publish; I keep the lights on.

01 — In the package
Six things that stop being your problem
Part 02
Updates & patches
Core, plugins or dependencies, PHP and Node runtimes. Tested on staging first, then live, with a note of what changed.
Part 03
Backups
Nightly, offsite, [RETENTION] retention, and a restore drill every quarter — because a backup you have never restored is a guess.
Part 04
Monitoring & alerts
Uptime, SSL expiry, error rates, slow pages. I get paged, not you.
Part 05
Security
WAF, rate limits, hardening, least-privilege access, dependency audits. Boring on purpose.
Part 06
Support & small changes
[HOURS] hours a month for fixes and content help. Critical issues answered within [RESPONSE TIME].

04 — How it starts
From first look to monthly report
- 01Audit & harden
Access, versions, backups, open ports. Fix the urgent, list the rest.
- 02Move or keep
Stay where you are, or move to AWS in a window you choose.
- 03Monitoring on
Checks from outside, probes inside. Alerts routed to me.
- 04Backups verified
First nightly run, then a real restore to staging.
- 05Monthly report
What changed, what was patched, what I would do next.
- 06Renew — or not
Month to month. Leave with your runbooks and your data.
05 — Fit check
Is this the right retainer?
This is for you if
- The site matters to the business but nobody owns it.
- Your last host’s answer to “what happened?” was a shrug.
- You want one person to call, who already knows the site.
- You are an agency that would rather sell hosting than run it.
Not for you if
- You need a help desk with ten agents and a ticket queue.
- The site is a hobby and downtime costs nothing.
- You want to keep a platform I cannot patch or back up properly.
- Can you take over a site you didn’t build?
- Yes. The audit comes first: access, versions, backups, what is on fire. Then a plan, then the retainer.
- WordPress, Payload, or static?
- All three. Most sites in the log are WordPress on Bricks; new builds are Payload + Astro. The package is the same, the runbook differs.
- What happens at 2 a.m.?
- The monitor pages me. Critical issues are answered within [RESPONSE TIME]; you get a note in the morning with what happened and what I did.
06 — Quote
Send me the site. I’ll tell you what it needs.
A URL is enough to start. You get a short audit and a quote for the size that fits — no call required unless you want one.
