Website hosting
Your website needs hosting that fits the site and a clear route to help when something changes. Seven Creative provides website hosting advice and management, with the requirements discussed alongside your website, email and ongoing support.
Who this is for
This is for businesses arranging hosting for a new site, reviewing an existing provider or planning a move. A small brochure website, an online shop and a resource-heavy application can have very different requirements, so choosing by storage allowance alone is rarely useful.
Scope and deliverables
Review of the current site and hosting needs; an appropriate hosting proposal; migration requirements; domain and DNS coordination; certificate arrangements; and clarity about maintenance and backup responsibilities. Resource limits, included support, renewal terms and any specialist requirements should be set out in the proposal. Dedicated IP and other options can be discussed when justified by the actual use.
How the work is approached
We first review what runs on the website and which services depend on it. For a move, we plan access, copies, testing and DNS changes before agreeing a cutover. The transferred website is checked against the agreed scope and the previous arrangement is not cancelled casually. Ongoing responsibilities are explained so you know what the hosting service includes.
What this helps you do
The aim is a suitable home for the website and fewer uncertainties about who handles a problem. Hosting, WordPress maintenance and business email are connected but different services. A clear proposal helps avoid assuming that an application update, mailbox issue or content change is automatically included in server hosting.
Are backups, maintenance and migration always included?
The agreed package determines what is included. Backup frequency, retention, restore arrangements and migration costs need confirming for your site. Historic prices and uptime claims should not be treated as a current offer. Contact us for current pricing and explain any business-critical requirements before choosing a package.
