Why Our Web Hosting Is The Best Hosting Service

Have you ever found yourself chasing the promise of a cheaper deal, only to realize later that it cost you more in the long run? When it comes to web hosting, that’s a story we’ve seen unfold all too often.

Reliable web hosting isn’t just a trendy tech term — it’s the cornerstone of your online success. It ensures your website loads quickly, stays secure, and is always up and running for your customers.

Yet, some businesses switch hosts after a year, thinking they’re saving money. In reality, these moves can sabotage website functionality, slow down performance, and even expose sensitive data to risks.

That’s why we’ve designed our hosting services to be the ultimate blend of reliability, security, and performance. Wondering why our hosting stands out from the crowd? Let’s break it down and show you why staying with ShiftWeb is the smartest move for your business.

A Sneak Peek at Why ShiftWeb Hosting Stands Out

• Hands-Free Management: Save time and focus on growing your business while we handle your site’s upkeep and technical needs.

• Worry-Free Hosting: With ShiftWeb, you get reliability, peace of mind, and a team dedicated to your online success.

We Provide Unbeatable Value and Savings: The Cost Breakdown

Our hosting only costs $420/year. At first glance, it might seem like a splurge, especially when compared to budget-friendly options like GoDaddy or Bluehost. But let’s take a closer look because there’s so much more to the story than just a number.

Here’s the thing — those “cheaper” hosting services often come with hidden costs that add up fast and end up draining your time and wallet. Let’s break it down.

The Hidden Costs of Cheaper Hosts

Most low-cost hosting providers lure you in with an appealing price tag but stop short of giving you the tools and support you need to thrive online. With such companies, you’re usually left to figure out critical things on your own — or pay extra for them.

Here’s what you’ll typically have to handle (and fund) yourself with cheaper hosts:

• Premium Plugin Licenses: Want your site to have high performance, peak functionality, or better security? Be ready to fork out additional dollars for plugin licenses.
• Setup Assistance: Unlike ShiftWeb, most budget hosts leave you alone to navigate the setup process, which can be confusing and time-consuming.
• Maintenance and Updates: Keeping your site running smoothly and securely takes regular upkeep, and cheap hosts don’t offer this as part of their package.

In contrast, our hosting includes all these essentials. With us, you don’t just get a space for your website — you get peace of mind knowing your site is expertly set up, maintained, and equipped with premium tools at no extra cost.

When you add up all the “extras” you’ll need to pay for with other hosts, the true cost often exceeds what we charge — without delivering the same reliability and convenience.

Here’s a quick rundown:

How Much Money You Save with ShiftWeb

But it’s about more than just money. Investing in ShiftWeb hosting means saving yourself from stress, unexpected expenses, and wasted time. And that? That’s unbeatable value.

Our All-Inclusive Package: What You Get with ShiftWeb Hosting

When you choose our web hosting, you’re not just getting a home for your website — you’re getting a complete toolkit for success. Our all-inclusive package is designed to give you everything you need to make your website functional, fast, and future-ready without the hassle of managing multiple licenses or tools. We’ll handle it all for you.

Our hosting package includes premium licenses and advanced tools that could cost you hundreds annually if purchased separately. Here’s everything you’ll get with us and why it matters for your website’s success:

Premium Plugin Licenses for Optimal Functionality

We’ve bundled our hosting with some of the most sought-after plugins in the industry to ensure your site looks stunning, operates seamlessly, and offers an exceptional user experience, saving you hundreds of dollars each year.

We provide you with:

• Elementor Pro ($59/year): This is your go-to page-building solution for creating stunning, responsive layouts without touching a line of code. From advanced design capabilities to precise layout controls, Elementor Pro gives you full creative freedom to make your vision come alive.
• Astra Pro ($59/year): Want a website that’s both beautiful and fast? Astra Pro adds endless customization options to your theme, allowing you to build a unique and flexible design while maintaining top-tier performance.
• Ultimate Addons for Elementor ($59/year): Take your Astra experience further with enhanced design elements, creative widgets, and layout options. It gives your design toolkit a massive upgrade, ensuring your site stands out.
• Premium Addons for Elementor ($39/year): Need even more design flexibility? This plugin delivers additional widgets and styling options that allow you to craft a site that’s uniquely yours.
• WP Simple Pay Pro ($49/year): Simplify accepting payments online. This tool is perfect for small businesses, allowing you to easily accept credit card payments for services or classes directly from your website.
• Postmark ($15/month): Email reliability is crucial, whether it’s for form notifications or user communications. Postmark ensures your emails are delivered without fail, so you never miss an important message. (While we provide this, you’re free to use a solution of your choice if you prefer!)
• Gravity Forms ($59/month): If you need a powerful and customizable contact form, Gravity Forms is your best bet. We currently use Wufoo, but it’s quite expensive, which may not be suitable for everyone. That’s why we’re happy to transition your forms to Gravity Forms at no additional cost. You just need to provide the license, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Enhanced Performance and SEO Tools

Performance and search engine optimization (SEO) are the backbone of any successful website. That’s why, with our hosting package, we also include the industry’s leading tools to make your site fast and stand out online:

• WP Rocket ($59/year): Nobody likes a slow website. WP Rocket optimizes your site’s speed through caching, file compression, and performance tweaks, ensuring your visitors enjoy a smooth, fast-loading experience.
• Imagify ($5/month): Slow-loading images are a thing of the past. Imagify compresses and optimizes your site’s images without compromising their quality, helping your site load faster and keeping visitors engaged.
• Rank Math SEO Pro ($59/year): If you want to climb the search engine rankings, you need the right tools. Rank Math SEO Pro provides advanced analytics, on-page SEO suggestions, and other features to boost your site’s visibility and attract more traffic. We’ve set up key SEO features for your site using Rank Math, so maintaining this license ensures you continue to reap the premium benefits.

Why It Matters

If you were to purchase all these licenses and tools individually, you’d be looking at hundreds of dollars in annual costs — not to mention the hassle of managing renewals and compatibility.

By hosting with us, you’re saving money by gaining access to a curated suite of top-tier tools that work together to elevate your website to new heights.

We Serve Beyond Hosting: Maintenance, Security, and Peace of Mind

When you host your website with us, you’re not just getting a server to store your files — you’re partnering with a team that truly cares about your site’s health, performance, and security.

Most hosting services stop at providing server space, but we go far beyond that to ensure your site thrives without you lifting a finger. With us, hosting is only part of the equation; the real value lies in what happens after your site goes live. And that’s where we shine.

Here’s how we make that happen:

Ongoing Maintenance: Protecting Your Investment

Your website needs constant care and regular checkups to run smoothly. At ShiftWeb, we handle critical updates, backups, and security monitoring for you. This isn’t just a convenience; it’s essential. Here’s why:

• Regular Updates: Website software evolves constantly, and updates often fix security vulnerabilities or improve performance. Ignoring updates can leave your site exposed to hackers or glitches. We ensure everything, from your CMS to plugins, is always up to date.
• Backups That Matter: Life happens, and so do accidents. Whether it’s a technical hiccup or a cyberattack, we maintain regular backups to restore your site quickly if something goes wrong. It’s like having a safety net that ensures you’re never caught off guard.
• Security Monitoring: Hackers don’t take breaks, and your site is always a potential target. We proactively monitor your site’s security to identify and neutralize threats before they can do damage. That peace of mind is invaluable.

When you leave ShiftWeb for a cheaper host, you’re losing the vital maintenance that keeps your site functional and safe. Without these measures, your website could face crashes, vulnerabilities, or even total data loss.

Hands-Free Management: Saving You Time and Hassle

Managing a website’s technical upkeep is no small task. It’s time-consuming, requires expertise, and, if neglected, can lead to costly problems. That’s why we take the burden off your shoulders.

With us, you’re not scrambling to figure out how to manage your website or hiring expensive help. You don’t have to worry about learning the technical ropes; we do it all for you so you can focus on what you do best — growing your business.

Now, think about it: The licenses, tools, and services required to keep your website running smoothly alone add up to more than a thousand dollars a year. Add in the time spent on maintenance, and the costs climb even higher.

Our hosting at $420/year is a steal compared to piecing together these services yourself. Sure, hosts like GoDaddy or Bluehost might seem cheaper upfront, but they leave you on your own for maintenance and functionality.

That’s when unexpected expenses creep in, often far exceeding what you’d pay for our all-inclusive solution.

We Offer Unique Services You Won’t Find Elsewhere

Web hosting is not just about speed and uptime (though we excel at that too). It’s about the extras that take your website from good to exceptional. At ShiftWeb, we don’t just host your site; we go beyond traditional hosting and empower you with services that you won’t find anywhere else.

Apart from the premium licenses and maintenance, let’s dive into some other exclusive features that truly set us apart:

Google Setup Services

Tracking your website’s performance and understanding your audience is critical for growth. But figuring out where to start can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to tools like Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, and Google Tag Manager.

That’s why we take care of it for you!

• Google Analytics 4: This tool is a game-changer that helps you understand how visitors interact with your site. We set it up to ensure you get actionable insights into user behavior, helping you make data-driven decisions.
• Google Search Console: Want your site to rank higher on Google? This tool is essential for monitoring and improving your website’s presence in search results. We handle the setup so you can focus on reaping the rewards of better visibility.
• Google Tag Manager: Simplify the process of adding and managing marketing and analytics tags on your site. From tracking conversions to analyzing visitor behavior, we make sure it’s all configured perfectly.

We handle everything from start to finish. Unlike other hosting companies that leave you to figure it out on your own, we take the time to ensure your tools are set up correctly so you can start tracking and improving your website’s performance right away.

Privacy Policy Setup: Building Trust with Your Visitors

Privacy is a hot topic these days — and for good reason. Website visitors want to know their data is safe, and many laws (like GDPR and CCPA) require businesses to clearly communicate how they handle personal information. That’s where your privacy policy comes in.

Creating a privacy policy can get really complicated, but we make it simple. We provide and set up a privacy policy for your site at no extra cost. This ensures you’re legally compliant and transparent with your audience from day one.

Why is this so important? A well-crafted privacy policy isn’t just a box to check; it’s a signal to your visitors that you take their trust seriously. When people feel safe browsing your site, they’re more likely to engage, stay longer, and return.

Other hosting providers might leave you scrambling to figure this out on your own — or worse, charge extra for it. With ShiftWeb, it’s already taken care of. These aren’t just add-ons — they’re part of how we show our clients that we genuinely care about their success.

Moving to a Cheaper Host Can Cost More

Switching to a cheaper host might feel like a win at first, but let’s unpack what really happens when you make the move. Spoiler alert: it’s not as affordable as it seems.

Let’s put it all together:

Loss of Tools and Functionality

When you host with us, you get access to premium tools that keep your website running smoothly and looking sharp. These licenses aren’t just bells and whistles — they’re essential for functionality, performance, and SEO.

Move to a new host, and you lose these tools. Without licenses, your site may miss out on key features, updates, and support. Plus, if you’re used to our team handling all the heavy lifting (like updates and backups), you’ll now need to do it all yourself or pay someone else to handle it.

Hidden Costs of DIY Hosting

Sure, low-cost hosts might charge you less upfront, but here’s the catch:

• Plugin renewals: All those licenses we provide? They add up to hundreds of dollars per year if you have to renew them yourself.
• Ongoing maintenance: Regular updates, security monitoring, and performance tweaks keep your site running like a dream. Without them, you risk a broken site or even hacks — both of which cost big bucks to fix.
• Time is money: Let’s be honest, do you really want to spend your weekends troubleshooting website issues?

And that’s just the basics. Most budget hosts don’t help with essential tools like Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, or Google Tag Manager. With us, these are set up for you, hassle-free. We even provide privacy policies, something you’d have to figure out on your own elsewhere.

In the end, moving to a “cheaper” host often costs more in terms of time, money, and peace of mind. So, why settle for less when you already have the best?

TL;DR: Our Hosting Is More Than Just Hosting

At ShiftWeb, we provide more than just hosting — we deliver unmatched value, peace of mind, and a partnership dedicated to your website’s success. Here’s a recap of what you’re getting with us:

• Top Functionality Plugins
• Advanced Performance & SEO Tools
• Comprehensive Maintenance
• Setup & Ongoing Support

And all this comes for just $420/year — far less than you’d spend piecing it together elsewhere. Choosing a bargain host means sacrificing the all-inclusive value and proactive support that keep your site thriving.

So, don’t risk your website’s performance or your peace of mind. Choose ShiftWeb — because you deserve the best for your business.
