Hosting, domains and email support
Make the services behind the website easier to understand.
Hosting, domains and email are separate services, even when one company supplies them all. We can trace what is connected and who controls it.
Hosting
Help understanding the current hosting setup, accessing the provider and working through common configuration questions.
Domains and DNS
Assistance with domain connections, renewals and common DNS records where the owner has authorised access.
Business email
Help with common mailbox, address and domain-email setup questions, including coordination with the relevant provider.
Accounts and access
Clarifying ownership and provider access so the business is less dependent on one unexplained login.
Maintenance and updates
Keep important information and software reasonably current.
Maintenance should fit the website and be agreed before changes are made. The available approach depends on the platform and condition of the site.
Content and contact details
Updating approved text, images, opening hours and other practical information when the business changes.
Software updates
Planning routine platform, theme or extension updates with an appropriate backup and a way to check the result.
Backups and recovery preparation
Reviewing whether usable backups exist and documenting the provider or process involved. Recovery cannot be guaranteed.
Routine website checks
Checking important pages, links and forms after agreed changes or maintenance work.

Frequently asked questions
If your question is not covered here, describe the website and the problem in the contact form.
Can you build a new website?
A simple, maintainable website may fit this service. Complex applications, large ecommerce projects and enterprise builds need a specialist development team.
Can you improve my Google ranking?
We can improve SEO foundations such as page structure and metadata, but search position and traffic can't be guaranteed.
Can you take over my hosting or domain?
The first step is to find out who provides each service and who owns the accounts. Before anything moves, we'll discuss what depends on it and get the owner's approval.
Do you support business email as well as the website?
This service covers common domain-based email and mailbox questions. Large migrations or serious delivery problems may need a specialist provider.
Can you maintain a website someone else built?
Often, but it depends on the platform, available access, the state of the site and the work required. We'll review those points before accepting the job.
Tell us what you need the website to do.
Send the website address, explain what isn't working and tell us what you'd like to improve. We'll check whether Website Support fits.
