Hosterr
Freelance designers and developers

Websites for freelancers and their clients.

Some jobs need more development than you have time for, and the calls about a broken client site always come at a bad time. We work behind you as a white-label dev team, building what you need and hosting and looking after your client sites under your name.

What we look after

What a freelancer needs from a dev team.

Take the overflow

When two projects land at once, we take one of them or the parts you don't do, and it goes out as your work.

Cover what you don't do

A designer may need a custom feature built, and a developer may need help with a store or a migration. We fill the gap job by job.

Host your client sites

Instead of a reseller account you manage yourself, your client sites are hosted with us, kept updated and backed up twice a day.

Help when you're away

If a client site breaks while you're on vacation, email us. You hear back the same day on business days from the developer who fixes it.

Quotes you can price in

Every job is quoted first at $95 an hour or a fixed price, so you know your margin before you say yes.

Under your name

Your client keeps dealing with you. We stay behind you, and support email can come from your own domain.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • I said yes to a project that needs more backend work than I can do, and now I'm stuck.
  • I host fifteen client sites on a reseller account, and I'm the one who gets the call when one goes down.
  • I wanted to take two weeks off, and there was nobody to call if a client site broke.
  • A client wants an online store, and I've never built one.
A note from Ryan

A developer behind you

When a freelancer sends me a job, I want the scope and the deadline first, so I can tell you the same day whether I can take it and what it costs. You add your margin, and the work goes out under your name. If a client site breaks while you're on vacation, email me and I'll look at it.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Jobs are quoted first at $95 an hour or a fixed price, so you can add your own margin on top. Hosting for your client sites is quoted on your list as one monthly price, in writing, before anything moves.

Only if you want them to. Otherwise you stay the contact, the work goes out as yours, and support email can come from your own domain.

Yes, for free, and in batches if you have a lot. Each site is tested on a private link before it switches, so nothing changes for your client until it's ready.

Yes. You pay for the work you send, quoted first, and there's nobody to hire or keep busy between jobs. Send a job when you have one and decide once you've seen the quote.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

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
Adam C.
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.
Nathan T.
I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
