Why we still run our own hosting in 2026.

The big three platforms got expensive. Edge networks got complicated. We do the unglamorous middle path — managed VPS, real backups, a phone number that rings — and our clients stay for fifteen years.

Hosting is where a lot of agencies quietly fail their clients. They resell a faceless platform, mark it up, and disappear when something breaks at 2am. We took the opposite bet: run our own managed stack, keep real off-site backups, and answer the phone.

It is more work. It is also why clients who signed up in 2011 are still with us. Reliability is not a feature you can bolt on later.
