Get Started
Backups you can actually restore from. Hosting that holds up.
Off-site daily backups on AWS, tested recovery, and hosting recommendations across AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Kinsta, WP Engine, DigitalOcean, Liquid Web, and Pantheon, so a hard failure or a bad deploy doesn’t turn into a week of downtime.
01Why it matters
A backup you never tested is not a backup. A host you outgrew is a tax.
Most sites have backups. Almost nobody tests whether the backups actually work. The discovery that your backup is corrupt, incomplete, or stored on the same server as the live site usually happens on the worst day of the year, while the site is down and the team is panicking. By the time you find out a backup can’t be restored, it’s too late to do anything about it.
Hosting is the same story. The cheap shared host that worked fine three years ago is now the reason your site is slow, periodically unreachable, and increasingly hard to keep secure. Most owners don’t migrate because migration sounds expensive. The actual expense is the downtime, the slow site, and the patchwork of workarounds you’re paying for to compensate.
02What it does
Off-site backups on AWS, tested quarterly. Hosting we recommend honestly.
We set up off-site backups on a real schedule, run recovery tests on a real schedule, and tell you the truth about your hosting setup. The standard is off-site backups on [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) so backups never live on the same server as the live site.
We support hosting across AWS, [Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/), Azure, [Kinsta](https://kinsta.com/), [WP Engine](https://wpengine.com/), [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/), [Liquid Web](https://www.liquidweb.com/), and [Pantheon](https://pantheon.io/). We have a deep partnership with Kinsta on the WordPress side which often pairs with website security. If your current host is fine, we leave it alone. If it’s a problem, we say so, and we run the migration to something that works.
03How it helps
Your site stays up. When something fails, you have a tested path back.
Your site stays up, and when something does fail, you have a tested path back. The backups aren’t a folder of zip files you hope are good. They’re a system that’s been tested under realistic conditions.
For clients we migrate to better hosting, the visible result is usually a faster site and fewer "is the site down again?" emails. The invisible result is that the next time a plugin update or a deploy breaks something, the rollback takes minutes instead of days.
04Specifics
What’s in the engagement
- Off-site backups on [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/): daily for files and databases, stored separately from the live site
- Backup retention policy so you can roll back days, weeks, or months as needed
- Quarterly recovery tests: actually restoring from a backup to confirm it works
- Hosting we support: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Kinsta, WP Engine, DigitalOcean, Liquid Web, Pantheon
- Hosting evaluation against your traffic, plugin stack, and uptime requirements
- Migrations to better hosting when warranted, with zero or near-zero downtime
- DNS, SSL, and email continuity through any migration so nothing else breaks
- Uptime monitoring with alerts to a real human, not just a dashboard nobody opens
