hosting, support and site optimization

First and foremost, my goal is to partner with you to provide meaningful, ongoing value to your business in digital marketing and design. Building on our existing service offerings, Honzell Design is now offering optimized hosting packages that go beyond traditional off-the-shelf hosting plans.

A little bit about hosting: Every site needs a host, a digital home in the ‘cloud’ where your site is built and can be accessed by visitors worldwide. Some known hosting companies are GoDaddy, BlueHost and HostGator, however I created custom hosting plans for a couple of reasons:

First, I partnered with a premier company whose servers are optimized for WordPress websites and provide best in class structure, performance and speed. Secondly, my Enhanced Service Package is designed to be more than just leasing space, but includes many valuable services designed to keep your site safe, secure, up-to-date and optimized for high level performance.

Enhanced Service Package

Starting at $100/month

The Enhanced Service Package is feature rich and designed to give you peace of mind so that you can spend your time focused on other aspects of your business. The below services are included in this package.

Best in Class Platform

Building your new site or transferring your existing site to a best in class platform, optimized for WordPress and WooCommerce is a great place to start. With industry leading speed and scale, I work exclusively with a company in Austin, TX utilizing the #1 WordPress theme framework available. Every site I have transferred from a big box hosting company has seen improvements in speed, performance and site structure immediately.

Your site is digitally monitored 24/7 allowing me to receive immediate alerts if your site is down. You’ll never have to worry about your site being down and no-one being aware.

Below are some of the technical security enhancements offered with this package, but in short, we take online security very seriously and pay for enhanced security measures that go above and beyond out-of-the-box hosting.

  • 70M+ attacks blocked every day
  • Argo Smart Routing
  • Web Application Firewall
  • Advanced DDoS Mitigation (layer 3, 4 &7)
  • CloudFlare CDN
  • Security Engineers regularly monitor
    vulnerability feeds for up-to-date
    information on emerging threats specific to WordPress

With WordPress and WooCommerce sites it is important to keep your theme(s) and plug-ins up to date. This is something I take care of for you on a monthly basis so you never have to worry about the burden of doing it yourself.

Your site is backed up every night just in case something happens where we need to roll the site back to a previous backup.

Make sure you never miss an email from your website contacts and customers! Utilizing a premium SMTP service I help you configure site and email settings to make sure website contact forms deliver directly to your inbox and not to spam or clutter.

Give your customers and visitors the confidence that your website is safe and secure.  An SSL keeps internet connections secure and prevents criminals from reading or modifying information transferred between two systems. When you see a padlock icon next to the URL in the address bar, that means SSL protects the website you are visiting.

I know that sometimes minor site edits are needed that you don’t have the time or desire to make. Things like updating an image, adding or changing text, updating an email address or phone number, etc would fall in the scope of ‘Minor Edits’. Any requested edits outside of scope would be billed at $75/hour and for those, I will communicate with you in advance so that we are on the same page with cost and expectations.
