    What hosting with us means

    The server your website and email live on, kept fast, backed up and watched, by the same people who built the site.

    One company, one number

    Most web problems start with the divide between whoever built the site and whoever hosts it, when something breaks, they point at each other while your site stays down. We close that gap. We host the sites we build on our own servers, so there's one company responsible for keeping you online and one number to call.

    It's the name on our door for a reason. We've been hosting websites and business email for Permian Basin companies since 2006, and reliable, fast, secure hosting is the foundation everything else sits on.

    Hosting is not a product you buy once and forget. Somebody has to apply the updates, check the backups actually restore, renew the certificate and notice when the site goes quiet at 2 AM. On our servers that somebody is us, and it is part of the service, not a care plan sold on top.

    What is included every month

    • Servers tuned for speed, with free SSL
    • Off-site backups every night
    • Uptime monitoring around the clock
    • WordPress core, theme and plugin updates
    • Business email on your own domain, spam filtered
    • Security hardening and malware scanning
    • One bill, and one real person to call

    Not sure what your hosting is doing for you? Find out.

    Send us the address. We check speed, SSL, backups and where the site is hosted, and send you a short, plain note on what we would change and whether it is worth moving.

    Why it matters

    The site that is down is the one nobody owns

    Most hosting problems are not technical. They are a gap: the host blames the developer, the developer blames the host, the domain renewal went to an old email address, and the site stays down while everyone checks their contract. We close that gap by building and hosting on the same servers, so when you call, the person who answers can fix it.

    It also means the boring work gets done. Updates applied and tested, backups kept off-site, the certificate renewed before it lapses, and a watch on the site that usually catches an outage before you do.

    • Built and hosted by the same shop
    • Servers managed in-house, not resold
    • A backup you can roll back to in minutes
    • An outage caught before you see it
    • Maintenance included, nothing extra to buy
    • A real person on the phone

    What a hosting problem usually looks like

    • The site is down and the host and the developer point at each other
    • A domain or certificate lapsed because the renewal went to an old inbox
    • A plugin update broke the site overnight and there is no backup to go back to
    • Email landing in spam because the records were never set up
    • A cheap shared server that takes four seconds to show the home page

    All of these are the ordinary cases. None of them happen on a site we host.

    What's included

    Four things we never skip

    Speed, backups, a watch on the site and email that lands. Every account, every month.

    01

    Fast, secure servers

    Tuned for speed, hardened for security, with free SSL so your site loads fast and shows the padlock customers expect.

    02

    Nightly backups

    Automatic off-site backups every night, so if anything ever goes wrong we can roll your site back in minutes, not days.

    03

    Uptime monitoring

    We watch your site around the clock and usually catch an outage before you would. No ticket queue, no offshore call center.

    04

    Business email

    Professional email on your own domain, you@yourcompany.com, with reliable delivery, spam filtering, and setup on all your devices.

    Under the hood

    What we check and keep up

    The work behind a site that is simply always there. Most of it you will never see, which is the point.

    Speed
    Server-side caching, images served in modern formats and sizes, a current version of PHP, and a database that is not carrying years of leftovers. We measure the site on a phone over a real connection, not on our own desk.
    Security
    Free SSL renewed before it lapses, a firewall in front of the site, login protection, malware scanning, and updates applied so known holes are closed. If something does get through, we have last night’s copy.
    Backups
    A full copy of the site and database every night, stored off the server it runs on. A bad update or a mistake in the editor becomes a rollback, not a rebuild.
    Monitoring
    The site is checked around the clock from outside. When it stops answering, we hear about it, usually before the first customer notices.
    Updates
    WordPress core, the theme and the plugins kept current, applied in a way that can be undone. Abandoned plugins get replaced rather than left to rot.
    Email
    Mailboxes on your own domain with the sending records set up properly, so your mail lands in the inbox and nobody can send as you. Spam and virus filtering on what comes in, and setup on your phone and computer.

    Website down, or just slow?

    Call (432) 301-9327. We host and maintain the sites we build ourselves, and we answer the phone. No ticket queue.

    Moving in

    Hosting a site we didn't build?

    Often we can. We'll review your current site, make sure it's something we can properly support, and handle the migration for you with no downtime. If it's not a good fit to host as-is, we'll tell you honestly what it would take. Want email specifically? See our business email services.

    How a move goes

    • We copy the site and test it on our server first
    • The domain is pointed over once it checks out, with no downtime
    • Email moves with it, or stays where it is if that is better
    • The old host is cancelled only after everything is proven
    • Your domain stays in your name throughout

    What we look at first

    • What the site is built on, and whether it is current
    • How many plugins it carries, and which are abandoned
    • Whether there is a working backup anywhere
    • How fast it loads on a phone
    • Who holds the domain and the certificate
    Why Basin Hosting & Web Design

    Who is responsible when it breaks

    Every host promises uptime. The difference is who picks up the phone, and whether they can actually fix it.

    Cheap and crowded

    Budget shared hosting

    A few dollars a month, and you are on your own.

    • Hundreds of sites on the same server
    • Backups as an upsell, restores as a ticket
    • Updates left to you
    • Support by chat, from a script
    • Nobody who has seen your site
    Two vendors

    A big host plus a developer

    Reliable servers, and a gap between them and whoever built the site.

    • Two bills, two logins, two support lines
    • When it breaks, each points at the other
    • The developer bills by the hour to look
    • Renewals and records nobody owns
    • Email set up by whoever got to it first
    How it goes

    Four steps.
    Then it just runs.

    The same routine whether we built the site or are taking one over.

    01

    Look

    We read your current site and hosting, check speed, backups and records, and tell you plainly what we would change.

    Day 1
    02

    Move or set up

    The site is copied to our server and tested, then the domain is pointed over. No downtime, nothing lost.

    Week 1
    03

    Keep

    Backups every night, updates applied and tested, the certificate renewed, the site watched around the clock.

    Every day
    04

    Report

    One short note a month on what was updated, what was caught and anything worth your attention.

    What a site that stays up brings in

    Figures from businesses we manage in the Permian Basin, by company type. The website, the listing and the ads do the selling. Hosting is the floor under all of it, and these came in with the sites up every day.

    FAQ

    Hosting questions

    Still wondering about something? Call (432) 301-9327 or send a note, straight answers, no sales script.

    What's included in website hosting?
    Fast, secure hosting on our own servers, nightly backups, uptime monitoring, SSL certificates, and a real person to call when something needs attention. We host the sites we build so there's one company responsible for keeping you online, no finger-pointing between a host and a developer.
    Do you provide business email too?
    Yes. Professional email on your own domain, you@yourcompany.com, with reliable delivery, spam filtering, and setup on your phone and computer. It's a small thing that makes a business look a lot more credible than a generic Gmail address.
    What if my site goes down?
    Our monitoring usually catches it before you do, and you have a direct line to us, not a ticket queue or an offshore call center. Because we host and maintain the site, we can actually fix it instead of escalating it.
    Can you host a site you didn't build?
    Often, yes. We'll review your current site, make sure it's something we can support, and handle the migration for you. If it's not a good fit to host as-is, we'll tell you what it would take.
    Do I have to move my domain to you?
    No. Your domain stays registered in your name wherever it is, and we point it at our server. If you would rather we look after the renewals too, we can, but it stays yours either way.
    What happens if I leave?
    You take your site with you. We hand over a full copy of the site and database and help point the domain wherever it is going. Nothing is held hostage.
