We keep them updated, backed up and secure, and when you need a change, just email us and we'll take care of it. You never have to do it yourself or chase down a developer.
You'll be talking to Ryan, the developer who runs Hosterr.
Agencies, brands, nonprofits, and growing businesses whose sites have to stay up.

Whether you're a small business without a developer on staff, or an agency or a larger company with more work than people, you can hand it to us. The work is done by a developer who already knows your sites, because we host them, and when a job needs more hands, I bring in seasoned, US-based developers I've vetted personally.
Send the request, like new opening hours or a page for a second location, and it gets done. Managed + Developer is $125 a month with hosting and an hour of this work included, and anything bigger gets a quote first.
See Managed + DeveloperWe plug into your agency as an experienced dev team and work under your name. You get help with your clients' builds, changes and hosting without the salary, benefits and hiring that come with adding staff. Larger companies use us the same way, as an extra dev team behind their own.
How we work with agenciesMost weeks, the only thing you'll see from us is a short email on Friday saying what we did. This is the work behind it.
We keep WordPress, your theme and your plugins up to date, along with the server they run on, PHP and the database included. You don't have to remember any of it, and the Friday email tells you what changed.
Every site gets malware scanning and a firewall, and we get an alert when a server starts struggling.
If an update breaks something, the site rolls itself back. Backups run twice a day, off-site, and we keep them for 30 days.
Most of what we host is WordPress, but we're just as happy running a static site or a custom app. Simple sites fit the standard plans, and bigger apps get a plan sized to what they need. There's no charge for bandwidth or visits,* and if you want Cloudflare in front, we'll set it up.
How we handle busy sitesMost hosts rent you a server and leave the rest to you. When something breaks, you open a ticket and wait. I wanted to be the person you email instead, and the one who fixes it.
I've been building WordPress sites for over ten years, and when a site breaks, the cause usually isn't where you'd expect. Sometimes it's the server. More often it's a plugin update or something a previous developer left behind. Either way, I track it down and fix it, so you never get passed along to someone else.
I work from Oakland, Maine. My email is [email protected] and my cell is (207) 949-5558.
P.S. If your site is down right now, skip the plans and use the emergency form.
I answer email the same day on business days, from my own inbox, so there's no ticket queue to wait in.
If you ask for something outside your plan, you'll know what it costs before I start, at the standard $95 an hour.
If the slow part of your site turns out to be a theme or a plugin, I'll tell you that instead of selling you a bigger server.
I save a snapshot before I change anything, so whatever I touch can be rolled back.
When a project needs more hands, I bring in seasoned, US-based developers I've vetted personally. You still deal with me.
Every plan comes with the same developer and a free migration, and they're all month to month, so you can cancel any time.
per typical business site
The site rarely changes, or someone on your side already edits it.
Changes to the site itself are quoted first at our standard $95/hr.
for one site with hosting included
You send the requests, like text changes, new pages or small features, and they get made. You never have to open the WordPress dashboard.
Unused time carries over one month. Extra hours are quoted first at $95/hr.
after we look at your sites and the terms you need
For agencies with a list of client sites, and for larger companies whose sites and apps need more resources and attention.
We agree the terms with you first.
If you have more than one site, Managed drops to $42 a site for 2 to 5 sites, $36 for 6 to 15 and $30 for 16 to 50. Very busy sites, large stores and business-critical apps need more resources and attention, so those go on a custom plan. Mailboxes on your domain are $2 a month each. Compare the plans and estimate your cost →
We do all of the work, and it's free. Your current site stays up the whole time.
Tell us about your site and we'll look at what you're paying, what's slowing it down and anything that looks risky. You get a short report in plain English, and if staying where you are makes more sense, we'll tell you.
We copy everything over, email and DNS included, and test it on a private link first. Once it all checks out, we switch over, and your visitors won't notice a thing.
Anything that goes wrong comes to us. Updates, backups and monitoring are handled, and when you email, you hear back the same day.
We build WordPress and static sites, plus web apps, back-office tools and integrations for the systems you already use. We host what we build, so when something needs fixing, you're talking to the person who wrote the code.
Whether it's one site, a list of client sites, or a project that needs a developer, we'll write back with a plan, and we'll migrate every site for you at no charge.
Every message goes straight to Ryan.
