Hosting and care plans
Website hosting and care plans
In short
Kotoh Labs hosts and maintains the websites we build, and sites we inherit: managed hosting, software updates, backups, uptime and security monitoring, and small content edits each month. You keep full ownership and administrator access, and there is no long-term lock-in.
Updated
How Kotoh approaches it
Most website problems are maintenance problems: outdated plugins, no backups, and small edits that sit in someone’s inbox. A care plan gives your site one accountable owner. Updates are tested on staging first, backups are kept off-site, and you get a monthly log of what was done.

Questions buyers ask
Do we have to use your hosting?
No. You own your site and can host it anywhere. Many clients choose our care plan because updates, backups and fixes are handled in one place.
What is included each month?
Hosting, software updates, backups, monitoring, a set number of edit hours and support with a response commitment. The exact plan is listed in your proposal.
Can you take over a site someone else built?
Yes. We start with a review of the hosting, plugins, backups and access, fix anything urgent and then move it onto a care plan.
How fast do you respond?
We commit to responding within one business day, faster for outages.
