50‑Day Guarantee
Not happy? Full refund, no questions asked.
Not a WordPress shop. Not a problem.
No page builders forced on you, no plugin bloat, no upsells to a platform you never asked for. Just hosting for the site you already have — or the simple, hand-built one you actually want.
Questions people actually ask.
Do I need to know anything technical?+
No. That's the point. If something breaks or looks confusing, you call us and describe it in plain English — we'll take it from there.
What if my website was already built by someone else?+
That's most of our customers. We host the site your designer or agency built; you don't need to touch a line of code, and neither do we unless you ask.
Can you move my email without downtime?+
In almost every case, yes. We plan the transfer around your DNS so mail keeps arriving while the move happens in the background. One phone call gets it started.
Do you support WordPress?+
Yes, if that's what you're running — cPanel hosts it fine. We just won't push it on you if it isn't. See our Non‑WordPress Hosting page for who this is really for.
What's the 50‑day guarantee, exactly?+
If you're not happy in your first 50 days, we refund you in full — no questions asked. No fine print.
Ready for hosting you can actually call?
One phone call gets you a free, no-downtime transfer. Real people, every time.
