Managed hosting & care

Managed hosting and website care, so the site stays looked after.

Hosting, updates, monitoring and a set amount of change time each month — so the website has someone responsible for it after launch instead of quietly ageing.

What this is

The short version.

A monthly arrangement covering the work a live website needs but rarely gets: hosting, dependency and security updates, backups, uptime checks, and a defined allowance of time for the small changes that keep it accurate.

The included time is a stated monthly allowance, not an unlimited support promise. It is written down precisely because that is the detail people are usually surprised by later. Unused time does not roll over.

A plan is genuinely optional. If you would rather host the site yourself or use another provider, we will hand it over cleanly — the build does not depend on staying with us.

Who it suits

  • Businesses without anyone internally responsible for the website
  • Owners who want small changes handled without raising a quote each time
  • Companies whose site content changes through the year — pricing, services, seasonal hours
  • Anyone who has previously lost a site to an expired renewal or an unpatched plugin

Vistarela works with businesses across Cape Coral, Fort Myers & Southwest Florida. We're based in Southwest Florida and work remotely with businesses elsewhere when the project suits it.

What it solves

The problems this is usually bought to fix.

If none of these sound familiar, this probably is not the right service — and we will say so.
  • Nobody actually owns the website

    Sites decay when responsibility is unassigned. Small inaccuracies accumulate until the whole thing feels neglected.

  • Small changes never happen

    When every edit needs a quote, edits stop being requested and the site drifts away from the business.

  • Updates get skipped until something breaks

    Dependency and platform updates are unglamorous and easy to postpone. They are also how most avoidable outages start.

  • There is no recent backup

    Backups only matter on the day they are needed, which is always the wrong day to discover they were not running.

What's included

Starting scope, and what is quoted separately.

Every project begins with discovery. Features, integrations, timing, and final pricing are confirmed in your written proposal before development begins.

Managed Hosting & Care

$200per month

Per month. For websites built or approved by Vistarela.

Your website stays online, current and looked after — and an hour of changes each month is included.

Hosting, updates, backups and support are included every month no matter how much you need them. The included HOUR applies to change requests, and it is ONE TOTAL HOUR per month — not one hour per request, and not one hour per category. It can be used for text changes, image changes, small layout adjustments, minor design refinements, basic content additions, corrections, or small technical adjustments to existing functionality. Unused time does not roll over.

Ask About Hosting & Care

Starting scope

  • Fast, secure hosting on the same platform we build on
  • Software and security updates applied as they are released
  • Automatic backups, so a bad day is recoverable
  • Your SSL certificate kept valid and renewed
  • Changes go live safely, with a way back if anything looks wrong
  • Your own client portal — request changes, follow progress, and see exactly what was done
  • You reach the people who built your site, not a support queue
  • One hour of website changes each month

Quoted separately

  • Unused time does not roll over
  • New multi-page sections, major redesigns and new applications
  • Advanced integrations, custom backend work, SEO campaigns and advertising
  • Domain registration, paid software and third-party fees
  • Unusually high platform usage is billed separately with your approval
  • We answer quickly in practice, evenings and weekends included — but we do not promise a guaranteed response time, uptime, or 24/7 emergency cover

Growth Hosting & Partnership

$500per month

Per month. An ongoing improvement relationship, not just hosting.

Everything in Managed Hosting & Care, plus three hours a month spent improving what is already working.

The three hours are the TOTAL monthly allowance — they replace the lower plan's one hour rather than adding to it. Typical uses: new landing-page sections, refining important pages, improving forms and calls to action, adding approved content, small features, and analytics review. Unused time does not roll over.

Starting scope

  • Everything in Managed Hosting & Care
  • Three hours of design or development work each month
  • Your requests go ahead of non-plan work
  • We help decide what to improve next, not only build what is asked for
  • Your analytics reviewed with you, in plain language
  • Ongoing observations on what visitors do and where they drop off

Quoted separately

  • Unused time does not roll over
  • Full redesigns, major features and applications require separate approval
  • Advanced SEO campaigns, advertising and extensive copywriting are quoted separately
  • Custom integrations and third-party costs are separate
  • No guaranteed traffic, rankings, leads, sales, revenue or performance scores

Before you ask for a quote

What changes the number, and what to have ready.

Published prices are starting points. These are the things that move them, stated up front rather than discovered halfway through.

What the price depends on

  • Which allowance you need — one hour or three hours of change time per month
  • Whether you want prioritization and improvement input, or maintenance only
  • Third-party services billed directly to you, such as domains and licenses
  • Larger work — redesigns, new sections, applications — which is quoted separately

What to have ready

  • Access to the domain and any accounts the site depends on
  • One point of contact for approving change requests
  • A sense of what changes seasonally in your business

Afterwards

What happens once it is live.

The part most quotes leave out.
  • Requests are handled within the monthly allowance and prioritized with you
  • Anything beyond the allowance is quoted before it is started, never after
  • You can end the arrangement and take the site elsewhere
  • No guarantee of uptime, security, 24/7 availability or emergency response is offered — the plan is scheduled care, and it says so

Questions

What people ask before starting.

See all frequently asked questions
Do I have to take a monthly plan?

No. Managed Hosting & Care and Growth Hosting & Partnership are both optional. You can launch and manage hosting yourself, or bring in someone else.

Most businesses take a plan because they'd rather not think about hosting and updates — but it's your call, and the website gets built either way.

What does Managed Hosting & Care include?

$200 per month covers hosting in our managed Vercel environment for reasonable standard usage, deployment management, routine platform and website upkeep, standard email support about the existing website, and up to one hour of scheduled website work each month.

That hour is ONE TOTAL HOUR per month — not one hour per request, and not one hour per category. It can go toward text changes, image changes, small layout adjustments, minor design refinements, basic content additions, corrections, or small technical adjustments to existing functionality. Unused time doesn't roll over.

It does not include new multi-page sections, major redesigns, new applications, advanced integrations, custom backend work, SEO campaigns, or advertising. We don't guarantee uptime, security, 24/7 availability, or emergency response.

What does Growth Hosting & Partnership include?

$500 per month includes everything in Managed Hosting & Care, plus up to three hours of scheduled design or development work, monthly prioritization of what to improve next, help reviewing your available analytics, ongoing conversion and usability observations, and priority over non-plan requests.

The three hours are the TOTAL monthly allowance — they replace the lower plan's hour rather than adding to it. Typical uses: new landing-page sections, refining important pages, improving forms and calls to action, adding approved content, small features, and analytics review. Unused time doesn't roll over.

It's an ongoing improvement relationship rather than more expensive hosting. We don't guarantee traffic, rankings, leads, sales, revenue, conversion increases, or performance scores — no one honestly can.

Where is my website hosted?

While you're on Managed Hosting & Care or Growth Hosting & Partnership, your website may run in a separate Vistarela-managed Vercel project. Every client gets an isolated project and source repository, and credentials and environment variables stay separated between clients.

Reasonable standard hosting usage is included. Unusual usage or paid external services may incur additional charges, always with your approval first.

If a plan ends, we provide a standard handoff to a compatible client-owned commercial hosting account according to your agreement. A Vercel project transfer and a source-repository transfer are separate operational steps, and outstanding invoices are resolved before final transfer. Website ownership and reusable-component licensing are governed by the written client agreement.

Do I own my website?

After final payment, website ownership and source-code rights are handled according to your written agreement, subject to any third-party license restrictions on components used.

You should own your domain name in your own account. If you'd rather not use a managed plan, we provide a standard handoff to a compatible hosting account you control.
