Managed hosting for new and existing websites
Already have a website - or planning to build your own?
Blackburn Studio can provide and manage the domain, hosting, SSL, DNS and migration while you or your chosen developer looks after the website itself.
Suitability depends on the website platform, technical requirements, expected traffic, security needs and third-party dependencies. Blackburn Studio will review the existing or proposed setup before recommending a hosting arrangement.
A clear managed-service arrangement
Blackburn Studio manages the agreed domain, hosting and technical services, with ongoing support where required, while keeping ownership, access and responsibilities clear.
Blackburn Studio manages
- Setup and migration
- DNS and SSL
- Hosting administration
- Renewals and technical coordination
- Agreed ongoing support
Outcome
Technical administration stays centralised.
You retain
- Ownership of the domain and business accounts
- Access where appropriate
- Control of business information
- Responsibility for third-party website work outside the agreed service
Outcome
The arrangement stays clear about ownership and responsibility.
Hosting backups assist with recovery but do not replace an independent backup strategy appropriate to the website and business.
