Managed website hosting in Leeds, done properly.
Hosting set up and run for you: SSL, tested backups, monitoring, patching and email authentication, on one monthly invoice.
In short
Graeyna sets up and runs hosting for websites and apps we build or take over, for businesses in Leeds, West Yorkshire and beyond. Managed hosting includes SSL, daily backups with tested restores, uptime monitoring, security patching, caching and a CDN, email authentication with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, staging copies and one simple monthly invoice.
Who managed hosting is for.
Clients of our website and software work
You would rather one team built the site and kept it running, with nobody else to chase when something goes wrong.
Businesses on cheap shared hosting
Slow pages, surprise outages and a support queue that never quite answers the question.
Owners juggling several suppliers
Domain with one company, hosting with another, email with a third, and nobody responsible for how they fit together.
Firms whose emails land in spam
Messages to customers going missing because SPF, DKIM and DMARC were never set up properly.
What managed hosting includes.
Set-up and migration
Hosting configured for your site or app, and existing sites moved across carefully, with no lost data and minimal downtime.
SSL and security patching
Certificates issued and renewed automatically, and server software kept patched and up to date.
Daily backups, tested
Backups taken every day and stored separately from the server, with restores tested so we know they work.
Uptime monitoring
Your site checked around the clock, so we hear about problems quickly and can act before customers notice.
Caching and CDN
Pages and images served quickly through caching and a content delivery network, wherever your visitors are.
Email authentication
SPF, DKIM and DMARC records set up and checked, so your emails are trusted and harder to spoof.
How moving your hosting works.
Review
We look at what you run now, where it lives and what it needs.
Plan and quote
A written plan for the move and a single monthly invoice for the hosting.
Staging and migration
Your site is copied to the new hosting and checked on a staging address first.
Switch-over and care
DNS moved at a quiet time, then backups, monitoring and patching run in the background.
Typical timescales
- Hosting for a site we build
- Ready for launch day
- Migrating an existing site
- Usually 1 to 2 weeks
- Email authentication
- Set up within the migration
What it costs
Every project is quoted individually after a short call.
Monthly cost depends on traffic, storage, how many sites or environments you need and whether the application has extra services such as queues or search.

Hosting is one of those things nobody thinks about until it goes wrong: the site is down, the certificate has expired, emails are landing in spam or a backup turns out not to exist. Managed hosting means we set up and run the hosting for the websites and applications we build or take over, so those problems are handled before they become yours.
We look after the whole picture: SSL certificates, daily backups with restores we actually test, uptime monitoring, security patching, caching and a CDN for speed, and email authentication with SPF, DKIM and DMARC. A staging copy of your site lets changes be checked safely before they go live, and everything is billed on one simple monthly invoice instead of a handful of renewals.
Hosting covers the platform your site runs on. If you also want the website or application itself kept up to date, with framework upgrades, small changes and a monthly report, pair hosting with one of our maintenance care plans. Many clients in Leeds and West Yorkshire choose both, so one team is responsible from the server to the last line of code.
What you receive
-
One monthly invoice - hosting, SSL, backups and monitoring together.
-
Tested backups - daily, stored separately and restore-checked.
-
A staging copy - to check changes safely before they go live.
-
Your access, always - domain and account details documented, so you are never locked in.
Platforms we run.
Our own products run on infrastructure we look after ourselves, and so do the systems we build for clients.
“Prompt communication, real attention to detail, and a website we're extremely pleased with. Highly recommended.”
Managed hosting questions.
Sometimes. We host sites and apps we build, and ones we take over after a health check. If an existing site needs significant work before it can be hosted safely, we will tell you first and quote for it separately.
Managed hosting looks after the platform: the server, SSL, backups, monitoring, patching, caching and email authentication. A maintenance plan looks after the website or application itself: framework and plugin updates, small changes and fixes. You can have either, or both together.
Not if it is done carefully. We record your existing DNS and email settings before anything moves, test the site on the new hosting first and switch over at a quiet time. URLs stay the same, so search rankings are not affected by the move.
They are DNS records that tell receiving mail servers which services may send email for your domain and how to treat messages that fail the checks. Set up properly, they help your emails reach inboxes and make it harder for someone to send email pretending to be you.
We use established cloud and hosting providers and choose the location to suit your users and data, typically in the UK or EU. Hosting is managed remotely, so businesses anywhere in the UK can use it, while clients in Leeds and West Yorkshire can meet us in person.
No. Your domain stays registered to you, access details are documented, and if you move on we help hand everything over, including a final backup.
