Why Abide

Why Choose Abide Hosting

Most WordPress hosting is sold by companies that don't actually know your site, can't talk to your developer, and route every support request through a help desk. Our model is different — and that difference is the whole point.

You talk to the people who actually maintain your site

When you call (541) 224-5048, you reach Josh or David directly. No tier-one support, no scripted responses, no "let me escalate that." We know your site because we host it, maintain it, and in many cases built it. Most of our hosting clients have been with us for five years or more.

Flat-rate pricing with no surprises

Starting at $799/year, billed annually, with everything included. No bandwidth overages. No "premium support" upgrades. No surprise invoices when traffic spikes. The only time pricing changes is if your usage pattern pushes us past standard infrastructure limits — and we'll tell you about that upfront, not after the fact.

Built for WordPress and WooCommerce

Generic web hosts treat WordPress like any other PHP app. Our infrastructure is configured specifically for WordPress and WooCommerce workloads — object caching, page caching tuned to skip cart and checkout, optimized database queries, careful plugin management. WooCommerce sites get the same flat rate as standard sites.

Real proof from real-world workloads

We host Corvallis School District through every emergency communications event and back-to-school traffic surge. We host Athey Creek Church through sermon release spikes and livestream events. We host MacDonald Industrial Supply through their busiest sales periods. Real stakes, not marketing copy.

Our honest take

If your website is core to your business — and especially if you sell, communicate with constituents, or serve public-facing audiences through it — managed hosting is almost always the right answer. The flat $799/year is rarely more than what businesses end up spending on shared hosting after upgrades, performance fixes, and emergency support calls. Self-hosted (DigitalOcean, AWS) can be excellent if you have a dedicated DevOps team — but we rarely meet small businesses for whom it makes practical sense.

Onboarding

How hosting onboarding works

Most hosting onboardings take 3–7 days from initial conversation to live on our infrastructure.

Day 1–2

Technical Review

For hosting-only engagements (sites we didn't build), we start with a short technical review of the existing site — WordPress and plugin versions, server requirements, database health, security state. For sites we built or rebuilt, this step is already done.

Day 2–3

Migration Plan

We document the migration plan: timing, DNS coordination, expected downtime (usually minutes, not hours), backup strategy, and rollback plan in case anything unexpected happens. We share the plan with you for approval before moving.

Day 3–4

Staging Migration

We migrate the site to our infrastructure as a staging environment, test it, and resolve any infrastructure-related issues (PHP versions, missing dependencies, etc.) before going live. You can review the staging site at any point.

Day 4–5

Production Cutover

We coordinate DNS changes and switch production traffic to the new infrastructure. Most cutovers are completed during a low-traffic window with minutes of downtime. We monitor closely for 24 hours after cutover.

Ongoing

Ongoing Hosting

Once you're live on our infrastructure, you're on the standard hosting plan — flat $799/year billed annually. You have direct contact with us for support, change requests, and performance questions. Most clients stay with us for years.

What our clients say

Over the past two years, Abide Web Design has provided strategic guidance on website design and the development of our website as a communication hub for the district. They worked directly with our communications coordinator in development and design, and he created a user-friendly system that non-technical staff can maintain. That has been a crucial aspect of keeping our website up-to-date.

FAQ

Questions

Yes. We accept hosting-only engagements after a short technical review to make sure the site is healthy and supportable. The review takes 1–2 days, after which we'll let you know whether it's a fit and what (if anything) needs to be addressed before migration. Pricing is the same flat $799/year whether we built the site or not.

Most WooCommerce sites fit comfortably within our standard $799/year managed hosting plan. If your usage pattern (heavy concurrent traffic, exceptionally large product catalogs, high-volume transactions) pushes past standard infrastructure limits, we'll tell you upfront and discuss whether a higher tier makes sense. We don't hide these conversations behind surprise invoices — pricing is always discussed in advance.

"Managed" means we handle the maintenance work that keeps WordPress sites healthy: WordPress core updates, plugin and theme updates, security patching, malware scanning, performance monitoring, backups and restores. Many hosts charge for these things separately or relegate them to higher-tier plans. We include them all at the flat rate.

We handle them on a rolling basis with compatibility testing. WordPress core updates and security patches are applied within days of release. Plugin updates are typically applied weekly after we've verified they don't introduce issues. If something does break, we have rollback capability — you don't lose your site to an automatic update.

For our active hosting clients, we have after-hours monitoring with alerting. For e-commerce sites and other mission-critical workloads, we have an emergency contact path. For non-emergency issues at 11pm, you'll typically reach us during normal business hours the next day. We're not a 24/7 NOC — we're a small studio with real depth on a manageable client roster, which is part of what makes the model work.

Yes. WordPress is open source and so is your site. We can hand you a full backup of your WordPress installation and database at any time, and we'll help coordinate a migration to another host if needed. We're not in the business of holding sites hostage.

For most clients, we don't sign formal SLAs — but our real-world uptime is well above 99.9% across our hosting fleet, and we monitor every site. For larger e-commerce or public-agency clients who need contractual SLAs, we can discuss formal agreements as part of a larger hosting arrangement.

Fill out our project inquiry form, call us at (541) 224-5048, or email hello@abidewebdesign.com. We'll schedule a short conversation to understand what you have, what you need, and whether we're a good fit. Most hosting engagements move from initial conversation to live on our infrastructure in 3–7 days.
