Hosting & Maintenance, Off Your Plate

Kingster Local’s hosting plan keeps your site secure, backed up, and updated so you don’t have to think about it. That means WordPress core, plugin, and security updates, automated off-site backups, uptime monitoring, and minor content edits handled for you every month. Hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure, with us tracking Google’s policy changes to keep your site compliant.

What we handle

Every website needs someone watching it after launch. Software goes out of date, security threats evolve, and Google changes the rules more often than most business owners realize. This plan is that someone.

Hosting. Your site runs on Google Cloud infrastructure, built for speed and reliability. That includes HTTPS on every page, so your site is secure by default. We also handle DNS management and domain management, so you never have to log into a registrar or figure out a nameserver record yourself.

Maintenance. WordPress core, plugins, and themes get updated on a regular schedule, tested before they go live so an update doesn’t break your site. Your site is backed up automatically and stored off-site, so if anything ever goes wrong, we can restore it. We monitor for security threats and track uptime, so problems get caught fast instead of sitting unnoticed.

Compliance. Google changes its algorithm and its policies constantly, without warning or notification, and a big update can nuke your search traffic if your site isn’t compliant. When it does, we act quickly to notify you and keep your site aligned with current best practices. If you’ve had an unexplained drop in traffic or sales, this is often the culprit.

Support. You never have to touch the WordPress dashboard. If something needs to change, you call us. Minor content edits, a price update, a new photo, a paragraph rewrite, are included every month as part of the plan.

Pricing

Sit down with us for a free consultation, and we’ll tailor a proposal to get you the most bang for your buck.

What working together looks like

  • We start with a free consultation. We look at your current site, what it’s running on, and what shape it’s in, then build a proposal around it.
  • We handle the setup. We migrate your site to Google Cloud infrastructure, set up automated backups, and get security and uptime monitoring running.
  • You get a direct line to us. No support tickets, no chatbot. Something needs to change, you call or email us.
  • Maintenance runs in the background. Updates, backups, security checks, and uptime monitoring, all handled on a regular schedule.
  • When Google shifts the rules, we notify you. If a policy or algorithm update affects your site, we tell you what changed and the right course of action. Minor changes to keep you compliant are included in the plan. A major overhaul, the kind Google’s 2023 Helpful Content update forced on a lot of sites, is scoped as its own project.

What people worry about

“I already have cheap hosting somewhere else.”

Cheap hosting only gets you a server. Most $10-a-month hosts leave everything else, updates, backups, monitoring, DNS, and everything else you don’t understand, on you to deal with. This plan is the difference between having a server and having someone responsible for your site.

“What counts as a ‘minor’ content edit?”

A price change, a new photo, a paragraph rewrite, an updated hours listing, that kind of thing. Anything bigger than that (a new page, a redesign, a new feature) is actual development work and we’d work with you on that separate from this plan.

“Can I cancel anytime?”

We’ll work out the terms with you in your custom proposal.

“What if something breaks that isn’t your fault, like a third-party plugin?”

We fix it. That’s what the backups and the maintenance are for. If a fix requires more than routine work, we’ll talk to you about it and figure out a plan together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do you back up my site?

Daily, automatically, stored off-site so a server problem can’t take out your site and its backup at the same time. If something goes wrong, we restore from the most recent clean backup.

How fast do you respond when I reach out?

We aim to respond within one business day for routine requests. If something’s urgent, tell us it’s urgent and we’ll treat it that way.

Do you test updates before pushing them to my live site?

Yes. Updates get checked before they go live, not applied blind, so an update doesn’t break something on your site without warning.

Is there a limit on how many requests I can send each month?

We keep it reasonable and flexible rather than capping you at a strict number. If you’re regularly sending big asks, we’ll talk about what makes sense for your plan.
