Colorado Web Hosting - Supporting Clients Around the Globe
Website Hosting & Maintenance Plans Available
All sites must live somewhere online, which is called Hosting. I can host your website under an established US-based WordPress technology providers (typically FlyWheel or WPMUDEV).
Not only can you be totally hands-off with your site, but choosing a maintenance plan with me is extra beneficial if your site has any customized plugins on it – it’s just hard for many non-tech savvy persons to understand the ins and outs of custom features, and edit these plugins. Having me right next to you for at least that first year is beneficial.
Why choose me over others? Glad you asked! Are you so over terribly slow and buggy hosting providers? Is your site taking way too long to the naked eye to load? Is GoDaddy telling you that you have exceeded your bandwith and they want an absurd amount to upgrade your site?
I’ve been over that too.
Having a reliable human, using solid server technology speed, a person networked in technical best practices, AND one that knows you and your business when you grow – is critical. It can ensure operations stay up, your leads keep coming in, and someone is available work on issues and growth!

What to look for in a website hosting service
There are three main reasons why I am really picky about website hosting providers:
- High Page Speed is important for the user experience and avoiding lower bounce (abandon) rates. The longer a site takes to load - especially on a mobile device or cellular service - the more likely the reader will exit the site before reading about your product. Google also gives low priority to your site in search if its not scoring to their speed preference. Industry experts say that a google page speed score above 70% is passable. However, the higher the better to prevent that abandoning risk.
- Website security is critical to keep your website up and running and not putting your customers at risk. Security can be stronger with certain website hosts that have a dedicated server for your website (typically on the pricy end but good for certain or large businesses/corporations). Or, hosts that use a 'containerized' structure operate in a safe silo and cannot be affected by other websites that might get infected with malware.
- Client Support is extremely important for me and it directly impacts my client's experience too. Sometimes things break, sometimes there is a technology hiccup that needs to be remedied. This is where stellar customer service, highly informed and educated staff stands out and is your moneys worth.
If after checking out my website hosting service you don’t see a good fit – let’s talk more, as I usually can recommend hosting providers that are known in the industry to meet these elements that ensure a safe, fast and reliable web site.
