WHAT IS WEBSITE HOSTING, MAINTENANCE & DEVELOPMENT?
Website hosting, maintenance, and development are the three core components that keep a website running smoothly and effectively. Hosting refers to the service that stores your website’s files and makes them accessible on the internet. It’s like renting space on a server where all your content, images, and code live. A reliable hosting service ensures that your site loads quickly, stays online consistently, and provides a secure experience for your visitors.
Website maintenance is the ongoing process of keeping your site updated, secure, and fully functional. Just like any other technology, websites require regular checkups to perform at their best. Maintenance tasks include updating software and plugins, fixing bugs, performing backups, and monitoring site security.
Website development is all about building and enhancing the structure, design and functionality of your site. This covers both front-end development, which shapes how your website looks and feels to users, and back-end development, which powers everything behind the scenes.
Whether you need a brand-new website built from scratch or want to improve your existing one, our development services ensure your site is visually engaging, fully responsive across devices and aligned with your business goals.
Together, hosting, maintenance, and development create the foundation for a successful online presence. Hosting keeps your site live and accessible, maintenance keeps it secure and up to date, and development allows your website to grow and evolve with your business. Investing in all three is essential to delivering a reliable, engaging, and professional experience to your customers.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Think of your website as a digital property. Hosting is the land it’s built on. Development is the construction of the house itself, the walls, rooms, and design that bring it to life. Once built, maintenance is the ongoing upkeep, making sure everything stays secure, functional, and looking its best. Each stage is essential, and together they ensure your business has a professional, reliable, and secure online presence. At The Change Starter, we handle all three, so you can focus on running your business while we take care of the technical details.
Website Hosting
Hosting is the foundation. Every website needs a secure server where its files, images, and data are stored so they can be accessed by your customers at any time. We provide fast, reliable local-based hosting with built-in security features to protect your site from downtime or hacking attempts. By hosting with us, you can be confident that your website is available when your customers need it, delivering a smooth user experience every time.​​​
Website Maintenance
Maintenance keeps everything running smoothly once your website is live. Just like a car requires regular servicing, your website needs ongoing attention to stay in good shape. Our team manages all updates to your site’s software, plugins, and security features. We also perform regular backups and monitoring, so if anything unexpected happens, your website can be restored quickly. This proactive approach ensures your site remains fast, secure, and compatible with the latest technology.​​
​Website
Development
Development comes into play when you need to expand or adapt your website to support your business goals. This could mean adding new pages, updating the design to reflect refreshed branding, or introducing features like booking systems, e-commerce functionality, or platform integrations. And if you don’t yet have a website at all, we can build one from the ground up to give your business the professional online presence it needs.​​​
We also provide ongoing development support so your site can grow and adapt alongside your business, ensuring it always meets the needs of your customers.
When hosting, maintenance, and development work together, your website becomes much more than a static brochure. It becomes a dynamic platform that showcases your professionalism, connects you with your audience, and supports your growth.
By partnering with us, you’ll avoid common pitfalls such as poor performance, security risks, or outdated functionality that can cost your business both time and credibility. Outsourcing to The Change Starter means you don’t have to worry about the technical side while we take care of your website, you can focus on running your business. With our hosting, maintenance, and development services, you gain peace of mind, expert support, and a website that grows with you every step of the way.

With our Website Hosting & Maintenance package, you’ll have access to the following services:
HOSTING SERVICE
Your website will be hosted with a premium, high speed WordPress hosting service. This service provides very fast and secure server facilities, with outstanding customer service. Your server storage will be unlimited. Whilst we can use servers in multiple regions, your site will be hosted in the country where your business is based, not overseas.
MAINTENANCE SERVICE
Keep your website in top shape with regular updates, plugin checks, backups, and monitoring. We ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes so your site stays secure and compatible with the latest technology.
SECURITY
Your SSL Certificate will be automatically renewed annually and at no additional cost to you. The fee for this is included. Your site will be monitored 24/7. This means that if there is any security alert, our team will ensure swift rectification of the problem and should there be any downtime, we will act to get your website back online as quickly as possible. A monthly website performance report will provide transparency of uptime, website speed, hosting performance, security, plugin updates and Google Analytics stats.
UNLIMITED CONTENT PUBLISHING
If you already write your own blog posts and just need them published, the uploading and SEO publishing of these pages is included in this package. However, project management and copywriting fall outside of this scope.
SIMPLE WEBSITE TASKS
​If you do not have a Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or Google Search Console account set up to track your website, these will be set up for you and the tracking code added to your site as needed.
​CUSTOMER SUPPORT
​Customer support specific to any technical matters with your website will be available by email and will be dealt with by one consistent point of contact - a human, not a bot.
PREMIUM CONTENT
Depending on your chosen package, each month there is a time allowance included for simple website tasks. You can request these tasks via the customer support email. For any tasks that will take longer than your included monthly time, we will provide a quote.
CONTENT SEO
Your package includes a number of hours of Content SEO whereby our team will improve and optimise your content for search engines. Please note that this is not a complete SEO service and focuses only on optimising existing content on your site. To take full advantage of the benefits of SEO, book a free consult to learn more about our full-service SEO packages.
PREMIUM CONTENT SERVICE
​Our premium package includes an additional content marketing service to complement your website hosting and maintenance. This package includes our team conducting keyword research for your website to determine the best opportunities for ranking your blog content with Google to increase the priority placement of your site in search engine results.
Once identified, we will integrate these keywords into an annual content plan for your site, track the progress of your keyword rankings and write and publish a monthly blog to your website to further increase your reach. You can utilise this blog in your other marketing, such as sharing on social media, or sending out via an email blast to your subscribers.
