A Better Home for Your Website
Hosting should support the website—not become another thing you manage.
Cheap hosting is easy to buy. The harder question is who handles performance, security settings, backups, migrations, DNS changes, and troubleshooting when something stops working.
Managed hosting connects those responsibilities to a team that understands the site and can make technical decisions in context.
Talk to us about hosting →02 · Security
Security handled with care
SSL, secure configuration, update discipline, access controls, and monitoring are considered as part of the hosting relationship—not an afterthought.
03 · Recovery
Backups you do not have to remember
A documented backup and recovery approach can reduce the impact of a failed change, accidental deletion, or unexpected issue. The exact scope depends on your plan and platform.
04 · Support
A real support path
When your website needs attention, you should know whom to contact. Managed hosting connects support to the team that understands your site.
Commodity vs. Managed
The cheapest server bill isn't always the cheapest way to run a website.
When a site slows down, a migration fails, or the contact form stops working, knowing who handles the issue matters.

Built for Real Workloads
Hosting that matches what the website actually does.
A straightforward service website and a custom application do not need the same infrastructure. We match the hosting approach to the workload.
Marketing Websites
Reliable hosting for service and business sites where lead forms, calls, and first impressions matter.
Content-Heavy Sites
Infrastructure for growing articles, images, guides, galleries, and publishing workflows.
Ecommerce
Considerations for catalogs, checkouts, accounts, payment integrations, and transaction-sensitive workflows.
Custom Platforms
Hosting designed around portals, apps, databases, dashboards, and complex workflows when necessary.
Hosting Migration
Moving hosts should feel controlled—not like flipping a switch and hoping.
A careful migration covers more than website files. Domains, DNS, contact forms, analytics, integrations, email, and important URLs all deserve a plan.
Planning a redesign, too? →01
Review the current setup
We identify the existing host, domain/DNS configuration, third-party connections, email services, and what needs to move—or stay in place.
02
Prepare the environment
We configure the new environment and its security, deployment, and site requirements before directing live visitors to it.
03
Migrate and verify
We test pages, key forms, analytics, integrations, performance, and relevant content before the final switch.
04
Cut over and monitor
We update DNS deliberately, verify the live site after launch, and maintain a plan to resolve issues during the transition.

Hosting FAQ
Questions businesses ask before moving their site.
We want the technical details and responsibilities to be clear before a migration or managed-hosting setup.
Can Allen Ink host a website you didn't build?
Often, yes. We review the website's current technology and hosting requirements to determine compatibility, migration scope, and support options.
Can you move my website from another hosting company?
Yes. We can help plan and carry out a migration, including domain/DNS changes, testing, and post-launch checks. Exact services depend on the project.
What is the difference between hosting and LaunchPad?
Standalone hosting is for a site you already own and is quoted based on platform and support needs. InkSites offers new websites starting at $149/month. LaunchPad adds a new website (up to 20 pages), LocalLift, ReviewFlow Essential, and CRM tools, starting at $399/month plus setup for monthly billing.
Do I still own my domain and website?
Your domain and client-owned materials remain yours. For a qualifying LaunchPad website, the agreed website deliverables become paid off after 24 months of covered payments, subject to the signed agreement and transfer terms. Early cancellation may require payment of a separately defined outstanding website purchase balance; marketing-service charges should not be conflated with that balance.
Will moving to better hosting improve my SEO?
Hosting does not guarantee rankings. Reliability, loading performance, crawl accessibility, and a secure setup can support the technical foundations of SEO.
What happens as my site grows?
We can reassess resources, caching, storage, integrations, and architecture when traffic, content, or custom functionality expands.
What does managed hosting cost?
Standalone hosting is priced by quote. InkSites starts at $149/month. LaunchPad is $399/month with a $1,000 setup fee when paid monthly; quarterly ($1,197), biannual ($2,094), and annual ($3,900) prepaid options waive setup. After 24 months of qualifying LaunchPad coverage, Care is $99/month or Growth is $179/month.
Can I cancel LaunchPad month to month?
LaunchPad website payments are structured around a 24-month payoff period. Customers who complete 24 months of coverage can continue with Care at $99/month or choose Growth at $179/month. Early termination, any unpaid allocated website purchase balance, and prepaid periods are addressed in the signed agreement. Your domain and your own business materials remain yours. See LaunchPad terms.
What happens after 24 months with LaunchPad?
After 24 months of paid website coverage, the agreed website deliverables are paid off. You may continue hosting, maintenance, and ReviewFlow Essential with LaunchPad Care at $99/month or choose LaunchPad Growth at $179/month to retain LocalLift and basic CRM email notifications. Eligibility and transfer terms are covered by your signed agreement.
