Hosting and Maintenance
Most website emergencies start with skipped updates, missing backups or slow shared hosting. This category covers the move to better hosting and the routine care that keeps a site healthy afterwards. We work with WordPress, Magento, Joomla and custom PHP sites, on shared hosting or on your own VPS or dedicated server. Plans can also include hosting on our own tuned Linux servers [DO POTWIERDZENIA].
- Website & database migration – files, databases and email moved with a final sync before the DNS switch.
- Website maintenance plans – updates, off-site backups and monitoring.
- Server side: hosting control panels and SSL certificates.

Signs your website needs better hosting or regular care
- The site is slow even with few visitors. Often an overloaded shared server, an outdated PHP version or no caching at all.
- Updates keep getting postponed. The CMS or plugins show pending updates because nobody is sure what will break.
- Nobody knows where the backups are. Or whether they include the database, and when one was last restored.
- Warnings from your host. Messages about resource limits, an end-of-life PHP version or suspicious files.
- The last developer is gone. And with them the logins for the hosting, the domain and DNS.
What to gather before a move
Logins for the current hosting account, the domain registrar and wherever DNS is managed, plus a note of where your email is hosted. Email often lives on the same hosting account as the website, and moving one without planning for the other is the most common cause of lost messages during a migration. For Joomla sites still on version 3, a hosting move is also a good moment to plan the upgrade, because older releases need PHP versions that current servers no longer offer.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to move a website to a new host?
Most of the time goes into copying, testing on the new server and a final sync; the switch itself is a DNS change. Large stores or sites with unusual server requirements need a longer test period before the move.
Do I need a maintenance plan if my host already makes backups?
Host backups are useful, but they are often stored with the same provider for a limited period, and they do not update your software or check that forms and checkout still work. A maintenance plan adds off-site backups, updates tested on a copy first and uptime monitoring.
How often should a website be updated?
Security updates for the CMS and plugins should go in soon after release, and routine updates on a regular cycle, often monthly. Sites left untouched for a long time tend to need a much larger and riskier catch-up later.
