Website hosting and maintenance
A website is never quite finished. Hosting is in the yearly price of every product: your site stays online, secure and up to date, and you simply send changes over WhatsApp.
Excluding VAT. One fixed price up front and one price per year; hosting and small changes are in the yearly price.
Who it's for
For anyone who has a site built by me, or wants to hand over an existing site and stop worrying about it.
What's included
- Hosting with SSL certificate and .nl domain
- Email on your domain forwarded to your inbox
- I get an alert if your site goes down
- Database for a webshop or web app, included in the yearly price
- Small changes, traffic and database usage included

Frequently asked questions
How secure is my website?
Every site runs on HTTPS with security headers, on managed hosting that keeps its servers updated. Because hosting is in the yearly price, I make backups and get an alert if your site goes down. Payments go through Mollie, so card details never touch your site.
Is the website mine afterwards?
Yes. After full payment the code and the content are yours. I can keep hosting your site, or move everything to your own hosting.
What if I want changes later?
Send them over WhatsApp. Small changes, such as a text, photo, opening hours or price, are in the yearly price. If you need more later, such as a webshop next to your website, you pay the difference to the bigger product.
What if my site suddenly gets very busy?
Then it keeps working. The yearly price includes usage per month: about 8,000 visitors for a website or booking site and 15,000 for a webshop, plus emails and database. As soon as I see you are at 80% of that amount, I send you a message. What it costs above that, I pass on at what the vendor charges me, with no markup, up to €100 a month. Anything above that only with your written yes beforehand. Without a yes the site gets slower or simpler, but I do not switch it off, except for abuse or non-payment. Bots do not count.
Do prices include VAT?
No, all prices exclude 21% Dutch VAT. You pay for a website together with the first year after approving the preview, before it goes live. For a booking site, webshop or web app you pay half up front and the rest before it goes live.
How it works
- You send a WhatsApp. Tell me briefly what you need. I reply within a working day with questions, or straight away with a fixed price in a quote.
- I build, you follow along. Once you approve I get started; for larger projects you pay half up front. You get a test version along the way and give feedback over WhatsApp.
- Live, and taken care of. I put your site live once everything is paid, send the Lighthouse report and keep looking after hosting and changes afterwards.
