Managed static website hosting
Simple business websites should have simple hosting.
If your website is mostly pages, photos, and business information, it may not need the complicated hosting setup you are paying for. PageSpeedHost hosts suitable business websites for $99 a year — and we run the hosting side, so it never becomes your job.

Still paying traditional hosting prices for a straightforward business website?
Traditional hosting keeps a full website environment running around the clock — WordPress, PHP, and a database — because a great many websites genuinely need it. A shop taking orders needs it. A site with customer logins needs it.
A lot of small-business websites do not. They are services, locations, hours, photos, business information, and a contact form. When that is what your website is, part of what you pay for each year can go toward capacity your public pages never use.
PageSpeedHost offers suitable websites a simpler managed hosting model at $99 a year. Whether yours qualifies depends on what it actually does — which is exactly what the free assessment is for, and if your site is not a fit we will tell you.
What you are actually buying
You are paying us to handle hosting so you never have to become your own hosting administrator. That is the product.
We run the hosting
Setup, HTTPS certificates, and routine hosting administration are handled on our side. There is no WordPress, PHP, or database environment left for you to patch, update, or administer.
One price, once a year
$99 per year for one static website. No monthly invoices to track and no separate line items for SSL.
Fast by construction
Static pages are delivered as finished files. There is no database query or template render standing between a visitor and your page.
Less to go wrong
A static site has no always-running WordPress, PHP, or database layer, which removes a large category of plugin and runtime maintenance.
Help connecting your domain
Follow our step-by-step instructions, or authorize us to make the DNS changes. We check for existing email records before anything moves.
A person to ask
Hosting questions go to us by email, not to a forum. We tell you plainly when something falls outside hosting support.
Is your website a fit?
Static hosting suits some websites very well and is genuinely wrong for others. Here is the honest split.
Usually a good fit
- Informational business and brochure websites
- Service, location, and contact pages
- Portfolios, menus, brochures, and galleries
- Sites already built as static files
- Blogs and news pages that are published rather than edited constantly
- WordPress sites that are mostly informational — subject to an assessment
Not a fit today
- Sites that need a live WordPress, PHP, or database runtime
- Online stores with checkout and inventory
- Customer logins, memberships, or booking systems
- Web applications and dashboards
- Email hosting — that stays with your current provider
If your site is on this list, we will tell you so rather than sell you the wrong thing.
Your website stays yours
We do not think a hosting company should hold your website to keep your business. Your domain stays registered in your name, at your registrar. You are not required to transfer it to us in order to buy hosting.
If you decide to leave, we will provide your website files and cooperate with a reasonable handoff so another host or developer can take over. Where the work involved goes beyond a standard handoff, we will tell you what it costs before we start.
The specifics of the handoff process are set out in our Terms of Service.
Can I still change my website?
Yes. Moving to PageSpeedHost does not freeze your site. If you or your developer manage your own static site, you keep publishing exactly as you do now. If you would rather someone handle changes for you, website maintenance is a separate service from hosting — how that works.
