Actors, athletes and public figures

Websites for actors, athletes and public figures.

A well-known name brings fans and press to your site, along with people trying to break in or post something in your name. The site runs behind a firewall with malware scanning, and everyone on your team signs in with an account of their own.

What we look after

What a public figure's website has to do.

Keep out people who should be out

A defaced page or a fake statement gets screenshotted fast. The site runs behind a firewall with malware scanning, and updates go on with a snapshot taken first.

Give your team their own logins

Your agent, manager and publicist each get an account with only the access they need, and we close it the day someone leaves your team.

Approve statements before they post

A statement or an announcement goes on a private copy first, so your publicist or lawyer can read it there, and then it goes live at the time you choose.

Route each kind of message

Press, booking and fan messages come in through separate forms, each going to the person who handles it, so a press request doesn't sit under the fan mail.

Hold up when you're in the news

A big game, a premiere or a headline sends a crowd to the site. With pages cached and Cloudflare in front if you want it, most of that traffic never reaches the server.

Keep personal details off the pages

We check that photos posted to the site don't carry location data from the phone that took them, and that no page shows an address you'd rather keep private.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • Someone got into the site and posted a statement you never made.
  • A publicist who left two years ago still has an admin login.
  • Press requests land in the same inbox as thousands of fan messages.
  • The site slowed to a crawl the night you were on a talk show.
A note from Ryan

Every admin account gets a name

On a public figure's site I start with the list of admin accounts and ask who each one belongs to. The ones nobody on the current team can account for come off first. After that I look at what the site would do if a story broke tonight.

Do you know who can log in to your website?

Send us the address and we'll go through who has access, how the site is protected and how it would hold up on a busy news day.

Plans

How much do you want us to do?

Organizations like yours usually go on a Custom SLA, with response times and the terms written into the contract. Smaller sites can still use Managed.

What we take care of

  • Server, PHP and database updates planned and tested by us
  • Backups twice a day verified and kept off-site for 30 days
  • Security and monitoring scanning with a firewall and alerts
  • Same-day replies from the developer who does the work
  • Regular email updates what we did, in plain English

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

We can make it much harder to get into. There's a firewall and malware scanning, every person gets their own login, and plugins and themes are kept updated. Backups run twice a day and are kept off-site for 30 days, so a bad change can be rolled back fast. Nobody can promise a site will never be targeted, and Cloudflare in front helps soak up junk traffic when it is.

Yes. Changes go on a private staging copy that your manager, publicist or lawyer can review, and nothing goes live until the person you've named says so.

Email Ryan and he'll reply the same day on business days. On a Custom SLA, the response time for urgent changes is written into the contract along with a named person to escalate to, so you know what to expect before a story breaks.

Yes, and the migration is free. We copy the site to the new server, check it on a private link and switch it over at a quiet hour, so visitors don't see a gap.

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment

Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.
