How it works

Up and running in four steps.

  1. Pick a plan

    Choose the plan that fits and tell us your domain.

  2. Add your card

    Checkout runs on Stripe. We never see or store your card number.

  3. We deploy your site

    We set up your server space or dedicated server, move your site over and turn on SSL.

  4. You relax

    Check on your site, download a copy or update billing from your dashboard.

Your dashboard

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

No control panel with ninety icons. Your dashboard shows whether your site is up, what plan you are on and when it renews.

  • Download your site. Files and database, zipped, ready in a minute or two.
  • Manage billing. Update your card, see invoices, switch plans.
  • Cancel on your own. No retention call, no hoops. Your site stays up until the period ends.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

You already host my site. Why am I paying now?

We have been hosting a lot of sites for free for a long time, and it is time to make it sustainable. Nothing about your site changes. If we host your site today, you will get an email invitation that links it to your account. Just pick a plan.

Which plan do I need?

If your site is plain pages with no login, shop or WordPress, Minnow is all you need. If it runs on a database (WordPress, a contact form that saves entries, a PHP app), pick Marlin. If it is busy, sells online or is important enough that you do not want to share a server with anyone, pick Great White and we will set up a dedicated server for it. Not sure? Pick Marlin and we will tell you if you could save money.

What does a dedicated server mean?

On Great White your site runs on its own server instead of sharing one with other sites. Nobody else's traffic can slow it down. We set it up, move your site over, and keep it patched and running.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, any time from your dashboard. Stripe prorates the difference automatically. If you move up to a database or a dedicated server, we handle the setup.

Can I take my site somewhere else?

Yes. Your site belongs to you. Click "Download your site" and you will get a zip with every file and, if your site uses one, a full database export. Any host can use it.

How do I cancel?

From your dashboard, click "Cancel plan". Stripe handles it and your site stays online until the end of the period you paid for. Download a copy before then.

Do you store my card?

No. Payments run entirely through Stripe, which handles billing for millions of businesses. We only see that your plan is active.

Do I need to change my domain settings?

If we already host your site, no. For a new site, we will show you the DNS records to add in your dashboard, or we can do it for you.

Ready when you are.

Pick a plan in two minutes. We take it from there.
