Because your website deserves better than cheap, overcrowded servers.

I use Kinsta to host every client site because you get your own dedicated resources—not a shared server packed with random websites that could be infected with malware or dragging performance down.

You can also set up your data server in the right location. Other hosting companies only offer limited options (like US-only). Meanwhile, I work with Canadians that need to keep their data stored on Toronto servers and Europeans that follow strict GDPR regulations.

You might think this stuff is boring and insignificant, but I take data protection and visitor privacy seriously. But hey, if it doesn't matter to you, why not just throw your website on a bargain server in China for $5 a year and let the CCP read all your customer data?

Ultimately, Kinsta allows me to ensure everything's tuned for speed, caching is handled at the server level, and support comes from real people—not bots. Plus, manage the entire setup so you never have to think about performance, uptime, or site security.

You get access to a growing library of premium tools I use to build and maintain high-performance websites—without paying for them individually.

As a website developer, I license these tools at the agency level, which keeps your costs down while giving you full access.

Here’s what’s currently included for all Essential and VIP Care clients:

• GeneratePress Premium – US$59/year
• GenerateBlocks Pro – US$99/year
• RankMath Pro – US$95/year
• Fathom Analytics – US$150/year
• Privacy & Cookie Policies via Termageddon – US$119/year

That’s over US$520/year in software licenses—covered as part of your care plan.

And I’m not stopping there. I’ll continue adding more tools as I find things that help my clients build faster, perform better, and stay compliant.

Neglecting your site is like never changing the oil in your car—everything might seem fine… until it isn’t. And when it goes, it can take your leads, rankings, or entire business with it.

When it comes to WordPress, plugins go out of date, themes get deprecated, and vulnerabilities creep in. Most websites I’ve been hired to fix had problems that could’ve been avoided with simple, consistent maintenance.

If you care about performance, security, and avoiding future headaches, maintenance isn’t optional—it’s insurance.

No. I have zero interest in cleaning up someone else’s mess—especially if it uses bloated themes like Elementor, duct-taped plugins, or junk that was vibe-coded with AI.

Most websites built by other agencies or DIY designers are loaded with unnecessary code, poor structure, outdated practices, and band-aid fixes. I don’t offer maintenance for those kinds of projects because I can’t vouch for the quality—and I refuse to put my name and reputation on it.

Hosting and maintenance are courtesy services I provide only for clients I’ve worked with directly. If I didn’t build your site, I recommend moving it to Kinsta for proper WordPress hosting and hiring a developer who understands your existing stack.

That said—if your site needs a serious rebuild, you can hire me to do it right . If you’re not ready for that, but still want help with your messaging and strategy, I also offer expert-level copywriting services .

I build lean, fast, future-proof websites—and I only maintain what I can stand behind 100%.

No—email accounts aren’t included with your hosting or care plan.

Instead, I recommend using Google Workspace for professional, reliable email. It’s what I use myself, and it keeps your email totally separate from your website—so if one goes down, the other keeps running.

If you need help getting started, I offer a one-time setup and training service where I’ll walk you through everything: custom addresses, redirect rules, unlimited send/receive aliases, separating billing, and more. You’ll be in full control, with none of the guesswork.

Just send me an email at hello@buildanonlinebusiness.ca and I’ll take care of it. There are no contracts or cancellation fees—your plan will simply end at the close of your current billing cycle.

Your website and data are always yours. If you ever need a backup or help moving your site, I can assist for a one-time fee.
