Website Hosting & Management
Lower hosting costs, safer backups, and faster load times.
Most small business sites are still paying monthly for hosting that a modern setup handles for free. I host sites on Vercel, keep every version of the code safely backed up on GitHub, and put Cloudflare in front for speed and uptime — no traditional web host bill required.
The old model — a shared hosting plan billed every month whether or not anyone visits your site — isn't the only option anymore. Vercel's free tier runs the same global infrastructure used by major companies and covers most small business sites at no cost. GitHub keeps a complete, dated history of every change to your site, so nothing is ever truly lost and any update can be rolled back in minutes. Cloudflare sits in front of it all, serving your site from servers close to each visitor for faster load times, absorbing traffic spikes, and watching for downtime so problems get caught immediately instead of days later.
- Free or near-free hosting on Vercel instead of a monthly host bill
- Every change version-controlled on GitHub — nothing is ever lost
- Instant rollback to a previous version if something breaks
- Cloudflare CDN for faster load times worldwide
- Uptime monitoring so outages get caught immediately

Common questions
How much does this actually save compared to traditional hosting?
Traditional hosts often charge monthly fees whether your site gets traffic or not. Vercel's free tier covers most small business sites entirely, so ongoing hosting costs can drop to $0 — you'd typically only pay for the domain name itself.
Is free hosting actually reliable for a real business site?
Yes — Vercel's free tier runs on the same global infrastructure used by much larger companies. It's a different pricing model than a traditional host, not a downgrade in reliability.
What is GitHub, and why does my site need it?
GitHub stores a complete history of every version of your site's code. If an update ever breaks something, I can roll back to the exact version that worked instead of rebuilding from scratch.
What does Cloudflare actually do for my site?
Cloudflare sits in front of your site to speed up load times for visitors anywhere in the world, absorb traffic spikes, and add a layer of security and uptime monitoring.
Can this be set up for a site I already have?
In most cases, yes — existing sites can often be migrated onto this setup without a full rebuild, though the exact steps depend on how the site is currently hosted.
Do I need to manage any of this myself?
No — I handle the Vercel, GitHub, and Cloudflare setup and can keep managing it going forward, or hand over full access if you'd rather control it yourself.
