Managed website hosting means your developer or host handles deployment, SSL certificates, security updates, monitoring, and support — so you focus on your business instead of server admin. It is different from DIY shared hosting where you manage cPanel, plugins, and backups yourself.
What is typically included
- Deployment to production hosting
- SSL/TLS certificate provisioning and renewal
- Uptime and performance monitoring
- Security patches for the managed stack
- Domain connection assistance
- Direct support when something breaks
At Pettifer Works, managed hosting on Google Cloud Run starts from £15/month for brochure sites. Pricing scales with integrations (CRM, booking, newsletter) and advanced features (CMS, login, APIs) — always quoted to your scope before launch.
