Our approach

Managed hosting responsibilities and support

Hosting provides the environment in which a website runs. Maintenance, content updates and custom development are related but separate responsibilities. We make those boundaries clear before discussing a move or ongoing arrangement.

An initial review considers the platform, traffic, dependencies and access. The right hosting approach for a WordPress site may differ from a static website or application. We confirm suitability rather than assume every site belongs on the same platform.

Website backups and recovery

Backup frequency alone does not explain whether the business can recover. We discuss what is included, what depends on external systems and who can authorise a restore. Any service levels or response arrangements belong in the actual agreement; they should not be inferred from a general landing page.

Plan your website hosting migration

Domains, DNS, email, certificates, scheduled tasks and third-party integrations can be affected by a hosting change. We establish responsibility and a validation plan before the switch, including how to check the public site and critical journeys afterwards.

Discuss your target markets

Bird works from London and Essex with businesses serving nearby customers, the wider UK and international markets. We agree which of those audiences matters to this brief before recommending pages or campaigns. Contact the team to confirm meeting arrangements and bring the website, business priorities and any relevant constraints to the discussion.

Frequently asked questions

What does managed hosting include?

The package should state who handles the hosting environment, monitoring, backups and support. Application updates and content changes may be separate responsibilities. We agree those boundaries around the actual website before a move.

Can you move our website from another host?

Migration can be scoped after reviewing the website, DNS, certificates and dependent services. Email, scheduled tasks and external integrations may need separate checks. We agree validation and rollback before switching traffic.

Will moving the website affect our email?

It can if email-related DNS or services are changed incorrectly. We identify the existing mail provider and relevant records before the migration. Website hosting and mailbox hosting do not need to move together.

How are backups and recovery handled?

We agree what is backed up, the required recovery approach and who can request restoration. The details depend on the website and service. A backup policy should be understood alongside a practical way to verify recovery.

Can you host a static website such as Astro?

We can discuss static and managed platform options alongside the website’s needs. A static build and a dynamic WordPress site have different operating requirements. The proposed hosting should match the functions the website actually uses.

How is hosting priced?

The quote depends on platform, resource needs and the management responsibilities included. We identify any separate charges for migrations, application maintenance or third-party services. The service description should make those distinctions clear.
