Managed Company Website Hosting Service Standards

Service standard · Existing clients only

What the $300/month company-site add-on covers.

This is the operating standard and hosting addendum for one accepted company website. The site’s current provider and CMS are recorded internally; this product is not tied to either one.

01 · Platform

A recorded, supported production platform

For a site that passes preflight, the agency provisions or accepts a supported production environment and manages the hosting relationship while the add-on and underlying client engagement remain active. The implementation may be CMS-based, headless, static, or another supported architecture.

What we verify

  • The production endpoint exists and the public domain resolves to it.
  • The agency team and the client have the administrative or publishing access needed for the agreed work.
  • The current platform, provider, delivery layer, dependencies, license ownership, and accepted functional baseline are recorded internally for that site.

Boundary

The add-on does not include a ground-up redesign, new application development, or unrecorded custom behavior. Named vendors, themes, plugins, frameworks, and build tools are implementation choices rather than perpetual product entitlements.

Platform and functional baseline are recorded at activation
02 · Delivery

Managed HTTPS, caching, and delivery

After routine DNS cutover, we enable and verify HTTPS plus the caching and CDN capabilities supported by the recorded delivery platform. The exact delivery services can change with the accepted architecture and are recorded internally for the site.

Boundary

A managed web application firewall is not included unless that service is separately provisioned and recorded. Nameserver restructuring, email-routing changes, third-party DNS projects, and performance remediation are separately scoped.

Delivery mechanism is verified and recorded, not assumed
03 · Recovery

A recorded recovery method and pre-change rollback point

Operations records the recovery mechanism appropriate to the accepted platform and verifies a current rollback point before a planned platform change. Depending on the architecture, this may use versioned deployments, repositories, provider snapshots, CMS backups, or exports.

Boundary

This is a recovery capability, not a promised recovery time or zero-data-loss guarantee. Long-term archives, off-platform backup retention, disaster-recovery drills, historical application logs, and custom RTO/RPO requirements require a separate scope.

Recovery method and rollback owner are visible in the register
04 · Maintenance

Planned maintenance for supported platform components

We plan applicable supported maintenance, verify a rollback point first, and perform a basic post-change check of the homepage, agreed key pages, primary lead path, tracking presence, and publishing or administrative access. Depending on the architecture, maintenance may cover supported CMS components, dependencies, runtimes, builds, or deployments.

Boundary

Paid licenses, incompatible or abandoned software, custom-code remediation, accessibility/legal remediation, significant malware reconstruction, performance work, and new functionality are not included. Provider-managed infrastructure patching remains the provider’s responsibility.

Rollback-first change control with a defined functional check
05 · Transition

Standard migration, cutover, and functional-baseline QA

Subject to preflight acceptance, we take or verify the available source export, copy or deploy the accepted site to the supported destination, test it before cutover, coordinate routine DNS changes, and verify HTTPS, agreed public pages and URLs, the primary lead path, recorded redirects, tracking presence, search controls, and publishing access.

If the agency initiates a move to a different provider, CMS, headless stack, static build, or other supported architecture, the accepted functional baseline—not a specific vendor or plugin—is the transition target. We test the new implementation against that record before the source is decommissioned.

Boundary

Source-server logs, installed-but-unused components, and unrecorded behavior are not automatically migrated. Ground-up redesigns, substantial malware reconstruction, ecommerce or account-history synchronization, custom integrations, complex DNS/email changes, paid licenses, and net-new functionality are separately scoped before work begins.

06 · Support

Platform-provider escalation and incident coordination

When evidence points to the underlying platform or provider, the agency opens a support case, supplies the relevant site and incident context available to us, and follows up through resolution or a clear next action.

Boundary

Provider response and resolution times are outside the agency’s control. The add-on does not include a 24/7 staffed help desk, guaranteed uptime, performance monitoring, or an SLA unless those terms are separately written and signed.

The functional baseline

Plugins and themes are implementations, not the durable promise. Before activation or a platform transition, Operations records the accepted business functions that are actually present and in use.

Public experiencePages, media, navigation, key URLs, and publishing workflow.
Lead pathPrimary forms, consent/spam behavior, destinations, notifications, and routing.
Search controlsMetadata, canonicals, robots, schema, sitemaps, and redirects.
MeasurementAnalytics, tag-manager containers, pixels, and recorded conversion events.
Dynamic behaviorDirectories, search/filtering, accounts, ecommerce, dashboards, embeds, shortcodes, and APIs.
Operational controlsAccess, dependency and license ownership, delivery layer, recovery method, rollback, and exceptions.

Activation checklist

The add-on is not marked active until Operations records these items in the per-site service register.

Hosting addendum

Eligibility and relationship.

This is an add-on for an active company or local-service engagement with the agency managing this site. It is not standalone hosting and does not cover personal-brand properties or products such as The Athlete Spotlight. If the underlying engagement ends, the agency will coordinate a written transition; continued standalone service is not automatic.

Site and billing unit.

Each $300 monthly subscription covers one accepted company website. Charges recur monthly until canceled through the agency or the billing system.

Platform choice.

No CMS, hosting provider, plugin, theme, framework, or delivery vendor is a perpetual product commitment. The agency may replace the CMS, host, delivery layer, or supporting components with another supported managed architecture, including headless or static delivery. An agency-initiated transition is tested against the accepted functional baseline.

Functional baseline.

The accepted baseline consists only of the public content, URLs, lead path, routing, search controls, measurement, publishing workflow, dynamic behavior, integrations, dependencies, and recovery method that Operations records. Installed-but-unused components and unrecorded functionality are not automatically included.

Acceptance.

The agency may pause activation or transition and propose a separate scope if preflight finds unsupported infrastructure, ecommerce or user-account complexity, material malware, custom-code risk, missing access, missing licenses, or another condition outside this standard.

Included work.

The six service sections, functional baseline, and activation checklist define the included work. Routine DNS cutover is included; domain registration, email hosting, nameserver/email restructuring, redesign, content publishing, SEO strategy, ad management, new development, custom integrations, premium licenses/extensions, third-party fees, and substantial remediation are not.

No SLA or recovery guarantee.

No specific uptime, response-time, recovery-time, recovery-point, performance, lead-volume, or revenue guarantee is included. Any different service level must be separately written and signed.

Cancellation and handoff.

On cancellation, the agency will coordinate access and make a current site export, repository handoff, or backup available when the recorded platform permits. The client is responsible for choosing and funding the destination. Outbound migration, complex DNS changes, and third-party licenses or services owned by the agency are not included unless separately agreed.

Support channel.

Use the active Basecamp project for planned work and the billing or contact method shown on the order receipt for cancellation or access help. Do not place passwords in public messages.

Confirm the site and functional baseline in your active Basecamp project before checkout.
