Website hosting and maintenance
Hosting, security, backups and the small changes every business needs, looked after for you as part of one monthly plan. You never have to log in to anything.
Included from
£99 /mo
→The short answer
Website maintenance services keep a site fast, secure and up to date: software updates, security checks, backups, fixing anything that breaks and making your changes. Managed hosting means someone else runs the server it lives on. Both are included in every Nod & Co plan from £99 a month.
(01)Every month
What we do without being asked.
What website maintenance covers each month
Updates
Everything the site runs on kept current, tested after each change so an update never quietly breaks a form.
Security
The padlock certificate renewed automatically, and the site checked for anything that shouldn't be there.
Backups
Copies of your site taken regularly and kept somewhere separate, so it can be put back if anything goes wrong.
Uptime and speed
The site watched so we know if it goes down, and kept quick on phones as you add pages and photos.
Forms that work
Contact and quote forms tested, so enquiries reach you. A broken form is the most expensive fault a small business site can have, because nobody tells you.
Your changes
New prices, photos, opening hours and text, sent to us by email or WhatsApp and made for you.
Google Search Console
Errors Google reports about your site checked and fixed, so pages keep getting indexed.
(02)Hosting, explained
The words you'll hear, in plain English.
What hosting means for a small business
Domain
Your address on the web, like yourbusiness.co.uk. You rent it yearly, and it should be registered in your name.
Hosting
The computers that store your site and send it to visitors. Managed hosting means someone else looks after them for you.
Security certificate
What puts the padlock in the address bar and lets browsers trust your forms. It has to renew, and should do so automatically.
Separate from hosting, even though both use your domain. Moving a website shouldn't touch your email.
Backups
Copies of the site from different days. Only useful if they're stored away from the site itself.
(03)Taking over a site
If you already have a website someone else built.
Moving an existing site to us
What we can keep
- Your domain name, and every address on the site that Google already knows
- All your words, photos and documents
- Your email, untouched
- Your Google Business Profile, Search Console and analytics history
What usually changes
- The design and the platform: we rebuild the site on ours rather than looking after one built on a system we don't run
- Plugins and paid add-ons from the old site, which are replaced with features built in
- Logins to an old builder or host, which you can cancel once the new site is live
The move is done with every old address mapped and redirected, so you don't lose what's ranking. Website redesign explains how.
(04)What it costs
Published UK figures, with sources.
What hosting and maintenance cost elsewhere
| Item | Typical cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | £5–£60 a month | 1 |
| Domain renewal | £3–£10 a year | 1 |
| Plugins and apps (WordPress) | £20–£300 or more a year | 1 |
| Changes by a freelance designer | £25–£50 an hour | 2 |
With us, hosting, updates, security, backups and your small changes are all in the monthly plan. The one cost you pay separately is your domain's yearly fee: we register, renew and look after the domain for you, in your name, and tell you the fee before you choose a plan.

Questions
(06)Questions
If the site takes enquiries, yes, or someone needs to do the same job. Software goes out of date, certificates expire and forms break, often without anyone noticing until customers stop getting in touch.
We host and maintain sites built on our own platform, so if you'd like us to look after an existing site, we rebuild it first, keeping its addresses and content. You see the new version before you pay anything.
No. Email is set up separately on your domain, and we only change what the website needs. We test that email still works on the day we switch.
Your domain, words, photos and customer details are yours. The site runs on our platform, so its code stays with us; the full terms are on pay monthly websites.
