Musicians and bands

Websites for musicians and bands.

Fans come to the site for tour dates, the new record and the merch, and when a song catches on they come all at once. The dates can come from the service you already update, the store stays on the platform you sell through, and the site is cached before release day.

What we look after

What a band website has to do.

Keep tour dates current

If you post dates to Bandsintown or Songkick, the site shows them from there, so you only update one place.

Sell the merch

Your store runs on Shopify or Bandcamp, which takes the payments. We link or embed it and check it still works when the store changes.

Get ready for release day

A presave link before the release and streaming links after it go up at the time you pick, and the page is cached before the announcement.

Stay up when a song spreads

A clip that takes off on TikTok or Instagram sends fans to the site in a rush. Cached pages carry most of it, and a busy night costs nothing extra.

Give each member a login

Band members and your manager each get their own login, so nobody shares a password and a departing member's access can be closed.

Feed the mailing list

Fans sign up for presales and news. We connect the form to your email service and check that new fans land on the list.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The site still lists a show that was canceled last spring.
  • A song blew up on social media, and the site went down the same night.
  • The merch link goes to a store you closed when you moved to Bandcamp.
  • The drummer built the site, and he's the only one with the login.
A note from Ryan

What happened last time

For a band, I'd look at what the site did the last time a song got attention. If it slowed down or went offline, the pages weren't being cached, and that's the first thing I'd fix before the next release. Then I'd check the tour dates against what's on sale.

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.

Managed

$50 /mo

per site

You already have a site and you update it yourself. We look after everything underneath it.

What we take care of
  • Plugin, theme and WordPress updates snapshot saved first
  • 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
  • Free migration we move it for you
Get started

Changes to the site itself are quoted first at our standard $95/hr.

A new website included

Managed + Website

We agree on the terms with you first.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes. If you keep your dates on Bandsintown or Songkick, we add their widget to the site, so a show you add there shows up here too. We style it to match the rest of the site.

We'd rather not serve audio and video from the web server. Streaming services, Bandcamp and YouTube play them better, and the site embeds them, so the pages stay fast when a crowd shows up.

Most don't. A band site can run on Managed at $50 a month, and Managed + Website can build a new one. An artist with a large following and a busy release calendar, or a team that needs response times in a contract, goes on a Custom SLA.

Yes. We build the release page on a private copy, you approve it, and we set it to publish at the minute the record comes out. The presave link can come down at the same time.

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.

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.
