Website Management & Hosting
We Host It, Manage It, and Keep It Running
This is not bargain-bin hosting. It is a Chicago-based team that knows your site, keeps it secure, backed up, and fast, and picks up the phone when something breaks — so you never have to think about infrastructure again. You keep ownership of your domain.

One call when something breaks
A Chicago-based team that knows your site, responds on a clear SLA, and handles deployments, rollbacks, and incidents for you. No tickets into the void.
Watched, backed up, recoverable
Daily backups on every plan plus monitoring on Managed and Priority, so problems are caught early and your site can be restored fast if anything goes wrong.
Set up correctly
We handle DNS, SSL, and your deployment pipeline so your site runs secure and configured the right way, not cobbled together.
Getting Started
Onboarding is simple. A one-time setup fee of $149 per site covers everything below, and most sites are live and fully managed within two to three business days.
STEP 01
You provide access
Share access to manage your domain's DNS along with the files or credentials needed to deploy your site. You keep ownership of your domain throughout.
STEP 02
We configure and test
We set up your cloud hosting, configure DNS, provision your SSL certificate, and build your deployment pipeline, then test everything end to end.
STEP 03
Your site goes live
Once verified, your site goes live on your domain and moves into ongoing management on the plan you chose. Typically two to three business days from start to launch.
Website Management & Hosting Questions
What is website management from Dooder Digital?
It is the difference between renting a server and having a team. We provision professional cloud hosting, configure DNS and SSL, keep the platform backed up and healthy, and stay on call when something needs attention. You are not buying infrastructure you have to manage yourself; you are buying a Chicago-based team that knows your site and handles it for you.
Why pay for management when raw cloud hosting costs less?
Raw cloud platforms are cheap because you are the one keeping the site online, patched, backed up, and recovered when something breaks. Our plans exist for owners who do not want that job. You get daily backups, monitoring, and a real team that responds on a clear SLA, so when something goes wrong it is one phone call, not a weekend of troubleshooting. You are paying for management and peace of mind, not just a server.
Do you register or manage my domain name?
No. Clients purchase and renew their own domain names so you always retain full ownership and control. We handle the DNS configuration required to connect your domain to your hosting, and we provision the SSL certificate that secures it.
Is management priced per site?
Yes. The Foundation, Managed, and Priority plans are priced per site, per month. If you run multiple websites, each site is hosted and managed on its own plan. Talk to us about multi-site arrangements and we will put together pricing that fits your portfolio.
Can I pay annually instead of monthly?
Yes. Annual payment saves about 16% versus monthly billing on every tier, the equivalent of roughly two months free. Foundation is $999/yr, Managed is $1,499/yr, and Priority is $2,499/yr when paid annually.
Is there a setup fee?
Yes. A one-time setup fee of $149 per site covers DNS configuration, SSL certificate provisioning, and deployment pipeline setup. It is billed once when we onboard your site, separate from your monthly or annual hosting plan.
What do you need from me to get started, and how long does it take?
We need access to manage the DNS for your domain and any files or credentials required to deploy your site. From there we configure DNS and SSL, set up your deployment pipeline, and test everything. Most sites are live and fully managed within two to three business days.
Which hosting tier is right for me?
Foundation is the right fit if you simply need a professional, secure home for one site. Managed adds performance and uptime monitoring plus faster support and is the most popular choice for active business websites. Priority is for sites where downtime is costly and you want priority support, same-business-day emergency response, and ongoing optimization.
Do you back up my site and keep it secure?
Yes, on every plan. Every tier includes daily backups so your site can be restored quickly if anything goes wrong; the plans differ by how long we retain them — 14 days on Foundation, 30 days on Managed, and 90 days on Priority. Managed adds security monitoring and dependency vulnerability alerts, and Priority adds a web application firewall (WAF) and DDoS protection. Your deployment pipeline also lets us roll back a bad change cleanly.
What happens if my site goes down?
Every plan includes daily backups, so in most cases we can restore your site quickly. Foundation and Managed clients receive email support with 48-hour and 24-hour response SLAs respectively. Priority clients get priority support and same-business-day emergency response, along with deployment rollback and incident management so issues are resolved fast.
What is the Digital Operations Partner tier?
It is for founders and owners who want a senior technology partner, not just a host. On top of everything in Priority management, you get a monthly strategy call, technology and AI advisory for your business, vendor and tool recommendations, and a direct line to a senior technology leader with Fortune 500 experience. It starts at $499/month and is scoped to what your business needs. Talk to us and we will put together a plan.
