Your website lives on my servers, and I keep it fast, secure, backed up and up to date. Invoices, support tickets and edit requests all live in your own client portal, and when something needs fixing, you reach the person who built it.

## What you get

- **Fast hosting**: Tuned servers and caching so pages load quickly everywhere.
- **Security & SSL**: HTTPS, firewalls and security updates handled before they become problems.
- **Backups**: Regular backups, so nothing is lost if something goes wrong.
- **Updates**: Software, plugins and themes kept up to date and tested.
- **Client portal**: Pay invoices, open tickets and request edits in one place.
- **Support from me**: Call, text or open a ticket. You get the person who knows your site.

## How it works

1. **Review**: I look at your current site and hosting.
2. **Move**: I move the site, email settings and domain, then switch over once it’s tested.
3. **Secure**: SSL, backups, monitoring and updates are switched on.
4. **Care**: Ongoing updates and support through your portal.

**Who it's for:** Small businesses, WordPress sites, Online stores, Multi-location brands, Schools, Nonprofits

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you host a website you didn’t build?

Usually, yes. I review it first and tell you honestly if anything needs fixing before the move.

### Will my site go down during the move?

I set everything up on the new server first and switch over once it’s tested, so visitors shouldn’t notice.

### How do I ask for changes?

Open an edit request in your client portal, or call or text me.

### How much does it cost?

Every project is quoted after a free call, and the quote is the price: no hidden charges, no surprises.

### Who will I be working with?

Me, Chris Arock, from the first call to every update after launch. dcArock is a one-person studio on purpose: no account managers and no hand-offs.
