Managed hosting
Hosting you can count on.
Your website deserves a safe, reliable home. For $10/mo, I keep your site fast, secure, and up to date — so you can focus on running your business.
How hosting works-
Fast pages
Served from a global edge network close to your visitors.
-
HTTPS on every site
Encrypted connections, with certificates handled for you.
-
Managed launches
Every change is reviewed and deployed by me — not left to chance.
-
Documented recovery
Every version is kept in source control and can be restored.
Personal service
A real person behind every project.
Packet Haven is a one-person studio. That means no account managers, no hand-offs, and no guessing who is working on your site. Just direct communication with the person who builds it.

Your domain, your content, your finished site. No lock-in if you ever move on.
Questions
Straight answers before you start.
Costs, hosting, domains, and who owns what — the things small business owners ask first.
Ask something elseHow much does a website cost?
Design starts at $500 for a landing page and $800 for a business website of up to 5 pages. Both are one-time fees.
Every project gets a written quote before work starts. If your needs go beyond a package — extra pages, copywriting, booking, or e-commerce — those are quoted separately so there are no surprises.
Do I have to host my site with Packet Haven?
No. Hosting is $10/mo, billed separately from the design fee, and it’s optional. If you’d rather host elsewhere, you get the finished files and a hand-off.
If you do host here, the monthly fee covers the management: deploying updates, keeping HTTPS working, recovering earlier versions if needed, and a real person to contact.
Do I need my own domain name and email?
Yes — your domain and business email are separate from website hosting, and they stay in your name. If you don’t have a domain yet, I can walk you through registering one.
Moving your website doesn’t require changing your email provider.
Who owns the website when it’s finished?
You own your content, your domain, and the finished site once the project is paid in full. If you ever move on, you can take a copy of the site with you.
How do revisions work?
The Landing Page includes one consolidated revision round and the Business Website includes two. “Consolidated” means you gather your feedback into one list per round, which keeps things fast and focused.
Additional rounds can be quoted if you need them.
Do you write the text and provide photos?
Packages assume you supply the copy and images. I’ll suggest a page structure, tell you what each section needs, and help tidy up what you send.
Full copywriting can be quoted separately. Placeholder images are never left on a launched site.
What if I need changes after launch?
Small fixes to anything I built incorrectly are on me. New content, new sections, or ongoing edits are quoted per request, so you only pay for what you actually need.
Hosting covers managing and deploying the site — not unlimited content changes.
Should I get WordPress or a custom site?
For most brochure sites, a custom-built site is faster, simpler to secure, and cheaper to run — that’s what the Landing Page and Business Website packages are.
If you need to edit pages yourself every week or rely on specific WordPress plugins, a WordPress build may suit you better. WordPress builds and maintenance are a separate service with their own quote.
How long does a project take?
It depends mostly on how quickly content and feedback come together. You’ll get a realistic timeline with your quote, based on your project and my current schedule — not a one-size-fits-all promise.
