Do you only host websites that Softlimes built?

We host both sites we build and existing WordPress, WooCommerce, or Laravel sites after reviewing the codebase and server requirements.

How often are backups taken and where are they stored?

We run automated daily off-site backups for standard websites and more frequent database snapshots for busy WooCommerce stores and Laravel portals. Backups are stored on separate encrypted storage outside the primary web server.

What happens if a plugin update breaks a page?

We test updates on a staging copy or take an immediate snapshot before applying patches. If anything behaves unexpectedly, we roll back within minutes.

Will managed hosting improve our Google Core Web Vitals scores?

Server tuning directly improves Time to First Byte (TTFB) and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). We pair server-level Nginx and Redis caching with frontend image and script cleanup to pass Core Web Vitals.

Managed Website Hosting, Migration, and Performance

Keep your website fast, backed up, and online with managed hosting from Softlimes. We handle website migrations, uptime monitoring, off-site backups, and server performance tuning.

Core Web Vitals Tuning

When the team that built your website also manages your hosting, you do not get caught between a hosting support ticket and a developer when something needs attention. We configure the server environment around your exact application.

Our hosting services cover three practical areas: moving your site safely from your current provider without losing emails or rankings, watching uptime and daily off-site backups so your data is protected, and tuning caching and server settings so pages load quickly.

We manage Linux cloud servers, Nginx and PHP-FPM workers, Redis object caching, SSL certificates, and HTTP security headers for WordPress, WooCommerce, and Laravel applications.

Before applying any plugin, CMS, or server patch, we take a fresh snapshot and verify the update on staging so your live site stays stable.

Scope & Deliverables

What is included in Hosting

We scope every engagement around concrete deliverables so your team knows what we will build, test, and hand over.

Zero-downtime website migration

Move your files, database, DNS, and SSL certificates from your old host with full pre-cutover staging tests.

Uptime monitoring and backups

Run automated availability checks on key pages and keep scheduled off-site backups ready to restore.

Core Web Vitals and speed tuning

Optimize server response times (TTFB), Redis caching, images, and database queries so pages load fast.

Security updates and SSL

Manage HTTPS certificates, firewall rules, HTTP security headers, and safe platform updates after launch.

Email DNS protection (MX, SPF, DKIM)

Audit and preserve your business email routing and sender authentication records during every server move.

Tested disaster recovery drills

Verify that your database and file backups restore cleanly to a staging server when needed.

Hosting & Migration Process

How we migrate, secure, and optimize your server in 5 steps

We treat server moves and performance tuning as controlled engineering work with a tested rollback plan at every stage.

Step 1

Discovery & strategy

Inventory DNS records, databases, and server load

We audit your current host, domain registrar, MX/SPF/DKIM email records, PHP/database versions, and baseline page speed.

Step 2

Design & prototyping

Provision staging server, firewall, and cache rules

We configure the target server with Nginx, PHP-FPM, Redis, SSL, and HTTP security headers before touching your live traffic.

Step 3

Build & develop

Clone files and database to staging and tune speed

We sync your codebase, media files, and database to the new staging environment and optimize slow queries, images, and scripts.

Full staging clone of your live website or store
Page caching, Redis object cache, and WebP compression
301 redirect map if any URLs are changing

Step 4

Test & QA

Verify forms, checkout, SSL, and restore procedures

We test every form, checkout step, login screen, and backup restore on the new server before updating your live DNS.

Staging checkout and enquiry form verification
SSL chain and HTTP security header audit
Verified backup restore test log

Step 5

Launch & support

Run low-TTL DNS cutover and 24/7 monitoring

We lower your DNS TTL in advance, run a final database delta sync for active stores, switch traffic, and monitor uptime around the clock.

Zero-downtime DNS switch and live email check
24/7 endpoint, uptime, and SSL expiry alerts
Ongoing daily off-site backups and patch management

FAQ

Commonly asked questions about Hosting

Direct answers on scope, timelines, code ownership, and how our team delivers hosting.

Yes. We audit your DNS records, mail routing (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and URL structure before scheduling the move, test the copy on a staging server, and verify redirects after cutover.
