Managed Website Hosting
Hosting that is managed by the people who built your website
Cheap shared hosting is where slow sites, hacked sites and 3 a.m. outages come from. Our managed hosting runs on fast, isolated servers with daily backups, a firewall, SSL and monitoring, and when something needs attention you reach a person in Fort Collins.

The short version01
Why hosting matters more than its price tag
Hosting is the floor your website stands on. A slow server adds a second to every page before your code even runs, which costs rankings and conversions. A shared server with hundreds of other sites is one neighbour’s bad plugin away from a hack. And when it goes down, a ticket queue is not support.
aStash hosting is managed hosting: we run the server, keep PHP and the stack current, take backups every day, watch uptime and malware, and fix problems before you see them. Because we also build and maintain the sites we host, there is no finger-pointing between a host and a developer.
It is priced as a flat monthly rate, and migration from your current host is included.
How it works
A server tuned for your site, watched around the clock
Your site moves to a managed environment set up for WordPress: current PHP, server-level caching, a CDN in front, SSL renewed automatically and a firewall that blocks the bot traffic most shared hosts let through.
We monitor uptime and malware continuously. When something fails at three in the morning, the people who built your site are the ones who get the alert and fix it.

What Managed Means
Six things we handle so you never think about them
Speed at the server
Current PHP, server caching, object caching and a CDN on Growth plans. Your site starts fast before any optimization.
Security layers
Firewall, login protection, malware scanning, automatic SSL renewal and isolation from other sites.
Daily backups you can restore
Off-site copies every day, kept 30 days, restorable by us in minutes if something goes wrong.
Monitoring
Uptime checked every minute, with alerts to our team, not to you, and a status note if anything happens.
Stack kept current
Server software, PHP versions and database kept updated and tested so your site does not break on an upgrade.
Support you can reach
Email or call. The person who answers can log into the server and the site. No tiers, no ticket roulette.

Why aStash
One flat rate, one team, migration included
Hosting from a generic provider means a ticket queue that has never seen your site. Hosting from us means the team that knows every template and plugin on it handles the server too.
Migration from your current host is part of the set-up: we copy the site, test it on the new server, switch DNS at a quiet hour and check every page afterwards. Pricing is a flat monthly rate with no contract.

- Flat monthly rateno bandwidth surprises, no annual lock-in

FAQ
Straight answers before you call.
Anything else? (970) 399-9004 reaches a person in Fort Collins, not a call center.
Do I have to move my domain?
No. Your domain stays with your registrar. We only change where it points, and we handle that with you.
Will my email be affected?
No. We check your email set-up before migration and keep the DNS records that route it. Email stays exactly where it is.
Can you host sites you did not build?
Yes. Most WordPress sites move over without changes. We will tell you during the audit if anything needs fixing first.
What if my site gets hacked?
Firewall, scanning and isolation make it unlikely. If it happens, we restore from a clean backup and close the hole, included in your plan.
Is there a contract?
No. Hosting is month to month, with a discount for paying annually. Cancel any time and we will help you move.
What is the difference between hosting and maintenance?
Hosting is the server, backups, security and uptime. Maintenance is the WordPress updates, fixes and monthly hours for changes. The combined plan covers both.
