Hosting by industry

Web Hosting by Industry

Hosting is the same product whoever buys it. What changes is what your website has to do, and that varies enormously by trade. Web hosting by industry starts from your trade: what your site has to get right, what it can skip, and what it should cost.

Food and drink

Restaurants

The menu decides everything, and a PDF of it does not open well on a phone. Web hosting for restaurants cannot fix that, so fix the menu first.

Restaurants hosting

Bars and Taverns

Someone outside on the pavement wants to know what is on tonight. Web hosting for bars and taverns has to deliver that on one bar of signal.

Bars and Taverns hosting

Cafes and Coffee Shops

Somebody a block away is deciding whether to walk over. Web hosting for cafes has one job, which is getting today's hours onto their phone.

Cafes and Coffee Shops hosting

Bakeries

Somebody planning a wedding will attach three photos to your enquiry form. Whether that lands in your inbox is what web hosting for bakeries decides.

Bakeries hosting

Trades and emergency call-outs

Plumbers

The customer who needs you most is on one bar of signal in a basement. Web hosting for plumbers has one job, which is to load anyway.

Plumbers hosting

Electricians

A homeowner comparing three electricians wants your licence number and proof of insurance fast. Web hosting for electricians only has to get out of the.

Electricians hosting

HVAC Companies

The first 95-degree day and the first hard freeze decide your year. Web hosting for HVAC companies has to hold up on exactly those two days.

HVAC Companies hosting

Roofing Companies

The two days after a storm decide your year. Web hosting for roofing companies has to hold up when everyone in the county searches at once.

Roofing Companies hosting

Handyman Businesses

Somebody has your card in their hand and is checking that you are real. That is the whole job, and it makes web hosting for handyman businesses cheap.

Handyman Businesses hosting

Garage Door Companies

Someone with a car trapped behind a broken spring is on their phone within a minute. Web hosting for garage door companies gets judged right there.

Garage Door Companies hosting

Locksmiths

Your trade gets judged as fake before it gets judged as good. Web hosting for locksmiths has to prove a real person at a real address answers.

Locksmiths hosting

Pest Control Companies

The mice page has to be live in September, not November. Web hosting for pest control companies earns its keep by letting you publish it yourself.

Pest Control Companies hosting

Painting Contractors

People hire a painter by looking, not by reading. Web hosting for painting contractors is about getting those photographs onto a phone fast.

Painting Contractors hosting

Cleaning Companies

Cleaning is sold by the recurring visit, so one form starts a year of work. Web hosting for cleaning companies has to make sure that form reaches you.

Cleaning Companies hosting

Building and construction

Contractors

A homeowner is checking whether you are licensed, insured and have done this before. Web hosting for contractors just has to keep that proof loading.

Contractors hosting

General Contractors

A plan set will not go through email, and a wall of finished kitchens will not win the bid. Web hosting for general contractors has to fix both.

General Contractors hosting

Construction Companies

Procurement reads your site before anyone speaks to you. Web hosting for construction companies has to hand them a current packet, not a broken PDF link.

Construction Companies hosting

Builders

A buyer cannot walk through the house yet, so your floor plans have to do it. That asks more of the drawings than of web hosting for builders.

Builders hosting

Home Builders

Buyers want to know which lots are still open, and they check from a phone in a car park. Web hosting for home builders has to answer that fast.

Home Builders hosting

Remodeling Companies

Your before and after photos sell the job, and full-size ones slow the page that sells it. Web hosting for remodeling companies is mostly about weight.

Remodeling Companies hosting

Home Inspectors

Your 60MB report has to reach one named person the same evening and stay private. That is what web hosting for home inspectors is really for.

Home Inspectors hosting

Landscaping and grounds

Landscapers

Your phone starts ringing on the first warm weekend in March. Web hosting for landscapers means the site is ready in February, not May.

Landscapers hosting

Lawn Care Companies

You are selling a season, not a single cut. Web hosting for lawn care companies should put a real price on the page and take payment all year.

Lawn Care Companies hosting

Tree Service Companies

Planned pruning can wait a week. A tree through a roof cannot. Web hosting for tree service companies has to serve both of those callers from one site.

Tree Service Companies hosting

Healthcare and clinical practice

Doctors

One open text box turns a quiet practice site into a privacy problem. Web hosting for doctors is ordinary until a patient types a symptom into it.

Doctors hosting

Medical Practices

The site itself barely changes. Web hosting for medical practices is bought on mailboxes, and on what happens the day somebody leaves.

Medical Practices hosting

Healthcare Providers

A discharge planner has ten minutes and three names to work through. Web hosting for healthcare providers has to make you the easy one to pick.

Healthcare Providers hosting

Dentists

A before and after photograph is also a patient record. Web hosting for dentists starts with deciding what your smile gallery is allowed to show.

Dentists hosting

Chiropractors

On a chiropractic site the risk is in the wording, not the server. Web hosting for chiropractors is the easy part. The claims you publish are what you.

Chiropractors hosting

Physical Therapists

Your home exercise videos will sink a small plan if you upload them. Web hosting for physical therapists works best when the video lives somewhere else.

Physical Therapists hosting

Therapists and Counselors

Your contact form asks people to write down the hardest thing in their life. Web hosting for therapists should start by not asking for it.

Therapists and Counselors hosting

Massage Therapists

A stranger decides whether you are a licensed practice in one screen. Web hosting for massage therapists has to get that screen up fast.

Massage Therapists hosting

Veterinarians

Your clinic is not a HIPAA covered entity, so that compliance quote may buy you nothing. Web hosting for veterinarians should pay for other things.

Veterinarians hosting

Med Spas

You are running a retail brand and a medical practice from one address. Web hosting for med spas has to serve both without tripping either.

Med Spas hosting

Legal

Attorneys

A stranger can hand you a conflict through your own contact form. Web hosting for attorneys is the easy part, the notice above that form is the hard one.

Attorneys hosting

Law Firms

The website is the easy part. Web hosting for law firms is really about who can read intake mail, and what happens when an associate leaves.

Law Firms hosting

Finance, tax and insurance

Accountants

Your contact page decides where a client sends their tax return. Web hosting for accountants is the easy part, and the wording is not.

Accountants hosting

Bookkeepers

You need four good monthly clients, not four hundred enquiries. That changes what your site says and what web hosting for bookkeepers needs to do.

Bookkeepers hosting

Tax Preparers

Almost every new client you get arrives in an eleven week window. Web hosting for tax preparers has to be right before that window opens.

Tax Preparers hosting

Financial Advisors

An examiner can ask what your site said eighteen months ago. Web hosting for financial advisors has to keep an answer, not just a backup.

Financial Advisors hosting

Mortgage Brokers

Two details on a mortgage site can cost you, your NMLS number and any rate you print. Web hosting for mortgage brokers keeps both current.

Mortgage Brokers hosting

Insurance Agencies

You can lose the whole website on the day you change appointment. Web hosting for insurance agencies is easy. The domain is the hard part.

Insurance Agencies hosting

Beauty and personal care

Hair Salons

Clients follow the stylist, not the salon name. Web hosting for hair salons should carry a page per chair and a gallery that loads on a phone.

Hair Salons hosting

Beauty Salons

A new client is trying to work out what to book and how long it takes. Web hosting for beauty salons is cheap, the menu it carries is the hard part.

Beauty Salons hosting

Barbers

A customer wants to know if you are open and whether they can just turn up. Web hosting for barbers costs little because that is the whole job.

Barbers hosting

Spas

Sell one gift certificate online and you are taking card payments. Web hosting for spas has to be ready for that before December arrives.

Spas hosting

Tattoo Shops

People book an artist, not a shop, and they decide from a gallery on their phone. Web hosting for tattoo shops has to load that gallery fast.

Tattoo Shops hosting

Dog Groomers

You cannot quote a groom without knowing the breed, the size and the coat. Web hosting for dog groomers is really about the form that asks first.

Dog Groomers hosting

Fitness and dance

Gyms

Three weeks after Christmas bring you more joining traffic than the next five months. That window is the only real test of web hosting for gyms.

Gyms hosting

Fitness Centers

Members want to know if the pool is open and the courts are free tonight. Web hosting for fitness centers is judged on whether that answer is current.

Fitness Centers hosting

Personal Trainers

Programme videos will break a small plan before anything else does. Web hosting for personal trainers is mostly about where those files live.

Personal Trainers hosting

Dance Studios

You publish photographs of other people's children. Web hosting for dance studios should start there, then survive the two hours registration opens.

Dance Studios hosting

Automotive

Auto Body Shops

Somebody standing beside their damaged car wants to send you six photos. Web hosting for auto body shops has to take them without failing quietly.

Auto Body Shops hosting

Auto Dealers

Most dealers do not own their own domain, and they find out during a vendor change. Check that before you shop for web hosting for auto dealers.

Auto Dealers hosting

Auto Repair Shops

Drivers assume the dealer is the safe choice. Your site has to argue otherwise, which is a bigger job than web hosting for auto repair shops.

Auto Repair Shops hosting

Car Detailers

Two photographs of the same panel are what closes the job. Web hosting for car detailers should get them onto a phone with the swirl marks still visible.

Car Detailers hosting

Property and real estate

Real Estate Agents

Change brokerage and the website usually goes with it. Web hosting for real estate agents should be in your name, not the office's.

Real Estate Agents hosting

Real Estate Brokers

When an agent leaves for a competitor, you need their mailbox back the same day. Web hosting for real estate brokers has to make that possible.

Real Estate Brokers hosting

Property Management Companies

Your owners and your tenants need different doors into the same site. Web hosting for property management companies has to keep the two apart.

Property Management Companies hosting

Professional and creative services

Advertising Agencies

Your own site is the work sample a prospect judges you by. Web hosting for advertising agencies is what keeps it fast while everything else waits.

Advertising Agencies hosting

Digital Marketing Agencies

The day a client leaves is the day you learn how you set their site up. Web hosting for digital marketing agencies is an obligation, not a markup.

Digital Marketing Agencies hosting

Business Consultants

Nobody can photograph judgement, so a prospect has to read you. Web hosting for business consultants only has to keep that writing online and fast.

Business Consultants hosting

Interior Designers

Your portfolio is the business, and unsized photographs are what makes it crawl. Web hosting for interior designers starts with the images.

Interior Designers hosting

Architects

Your renders are the biggest files any trade publishes, and they are why the portfolio is slow. Web hosting for architects rarely needs to be the fix.

Architects hosting

Engineering Firms

Your site is a filing cabinet with a homepage on it. Web hosting for engineering firms is mostly about deciding what is genuinely public before you upload.

Engineering Firms hosting

Event Planners

Nobody hires you in the abstract, they hire you for one date. Web hosting for event planners matters most at the form that asks for that date first.

Event Planners hosting

Photography

Photographers

A season of client work at full resolution will fill any plan. Web hosting for photographers is about where the galleries live, not the gigabytes you buy.

Photographers hosting

Wedding Photographers

Every enquiry starts with the same question: are you free on the fourteenth. Hosting for wedding photographers has to answer that before anything else.

Wedding Photographers hosting

Retail

Clothing Stores

One stock room, two shops, and the same last size 8 on sale in both. Web hosting for clothing stores has to keep that straight and stay up on sale day.

Clothing Stores hosting

Jewelers

Nobody spends four thousand dollars on a ring they cannot see properly. Web hosting for jewelers has to carry that photograph at full detail.

Jewelers hosting

Florists

If the site stumbles the night before Valentine's Day, you do not get that day back. That is the real test of web hosting for florists.

Florists hosting

Industrial, trade and logistics

Manufacturers

Engineers search a part number and expect to land on a specification. Web hosting for manufacturers should give every part its own page.

Manufacturers hosting

Wholesalers

Your trade prices should not be one shared password away from a competitor. Web hosting for wholesalers is a decision about where that wall goes.

Wholesalers hosting

Trucking Companies

Your busiest form is the driver application, not the quote request, and web hosting for trucking companies has to keep those applications as records.

Trucking Companies hosting

Moving Companies

A moving quote is a guess until the form asks what you own. Web hosting for moving companies has to carry that form through a June rush.

Moving Companies hosting

Security Companies

A prospect judges whether you can protect their building by looking at your website first. Web hosting for security companies has to survive that look.

Security Companies hosting

Schools, childcare and community

Schools

The site is quiet all year, then a storm closes school and thousands of parents arrive at once. Web hosting for schools is judged on those ten minutes.

Schools hosting

Daycare Centers

A nervous parent reads everything on your site as evidence. Web hosting for daycare centers should make that evidence easy to find and hard to lose.

Daycare Centers hosting

Nonprofits

One page carries your whole year, and it is the donate page in the last week of December. Judge web hosting for nonprofits on that page.

Nonprofits hosting

Funeral Homes

One obituary gets shared and a few thousand people open it within the hour. Web hosting for funeral homes has to be ready for that, with no warning.

Funeral Homes hosting

Events and venues

Wedding Venues

Couples want one answer before anything else: is our date free. Web hosting for wedding venues has to get them to it quickly, on a phone.

Wedding Venues hosting

General

Small Businesses

You are probably paying for more than you use. Web hosting for small businesses needs four things right, and the extras on your invoice are rarely them.

Small Businesses hosting

Home Services Companies

Four trades on one Services page is how you lose to smaller outfits. Hosting for home services companies starts by splitting them up.

Home Services Companies hosting
