Where it runs

Cloud hosting and deployment

Hosting should be boring. Certificates renew themselves, deployments roll back cleanly, and backups exist before you need them.

commitsbuildedge network

We have offered domains and hosting since the early years of the studio. What changed is the shape of it. A modern site sits behind a CDN with content cached close to the visitor, and the server only does the work that genuinely has to be dynamic.

We set this up in your own account wherever possible. Your domain, your hosting bill, your access. Agencies that hold the keys create a hostage situation nobody planned for, and it always surfaces at the worst moment.

One detail worth stating plainly: an expired SSL certificate takes a site offline for most visitors, and browsers show a full page warning rather than a small notice. Automatic renewal is not optional.

What the work covers

Included in every hosting & devops project.

  • Domain and DNS

    Registration or transfer, records configured, and email routing kept working through the move. DNS mistakes cause more launch day outages than code does.

  • SSL that renews itself

    Automatic certificates with monitoring, so nobody has to remember a date twelve months from now.

  • CDN and caching

    Static files served from an edge close to the visitor, with cache rules set per file type rather than one blanket setting.

  • Preview deployments

    Every change gets its own URL to review before it reaches the live site. Approving a link is easier than approving a description of a change.

  • Backups and rollback

    Database backups on a schedule, tested by actually restoring one, and a one click return to the previous deployment.

  • Uptime and error monitoring

    An alert when the site goes down or starts throwing errors, sent to a person rather than to a dashboard nobody opens.

Questions

Asked often enough to answer here.

If yours is not here, the general questions page covers how we work, or you can just ask.

Can you host it for us instead?

Yes, if you would rather not deal with it. We bill it through transparently and you keep the right to move at any time. Our preference is your own account, because that is the arrangement that protects you.

What happens if the site goes down at midnight?

Monitoring alerts us. If you are on a care plan we respond within the agreed window. If you are not, we still answer where we can, but we will not promise a time we have not committed to.

Will moving hosts affect my email?

It can, and this is the most common way a migration goes wrong. Email records are separate from website records. We note the existing mail configuration before touching anything and confirm mail still flows after the switch.
