Your website should be yours — hosted by people you can call, on hardware you can point to, with your name on the domain. We host websites and manage domains for local folks and small businesses on our own servers in Iowa, with the same straight-talk, no-lock-in approach behind everything we do.
More info
Most hosting means renting a slice of a data center from a giant company, reached through an overseas ticket queue, with renewal prices that creep up and terms that make it a chore to leave. We do it the other way: your site runs on hardware we own and maintain locally, the domain stays in your name, and when something needs attention a real person — one of the two of us — handles it. It's the same idea as our RamVault cameras and our repair work: your stuff stays yours, and you deal with humans, not a portal. Tools, Tech, and Trust, applied to the address where people find you online.
What we host
Website Hosting
We host your site on our own servers in Iowa — set up fast, kept secure, and always yours.
More info
Whether you've got a brand-new site or one you want moved off a host you're tired of, we get it online and keep it that way. We handle the setup, turn on HTTPS so it's secure and trusted, and take care of the technical bits so you don't have to. Your files and your site stay yours — you're never renting access to your own work.
- Static sites, small-business sites, portfolios, and landing pages
- Hosted on servers we own and run in central Iowa
- New builds or a clean migration of your existing site
- Free HTTPS so your site is secure and trusted in every browser
- You own your site and your files — always
Domains & DNS
We register and manage your domain and DNS so your web address just works — and stays in your name.
More info
The domain is your address on the internet, and it should belong to you. We'll register a new one or take over managing one you already have, set up the DNS so everything points where it should, and keep an eye on renewals so it never lapses by accident. You stay the registered owner — we just handle the fiddly parts.
- Register a new domain or point one you already own
- DNS set up and managed so your address, mail, and subdomains resolve correctly
- Renewals tracked so your domain never expires out from under you
- The domain stays registered in your name — you're the owner
- Straightforward transfers if you ever move it elsewhere
Secure, Backed Up & Maintained
HTTPS, backups, monitoring, and updates handled — so your site stays secure and online without you thinking about it.
More info
Keeping a site online is more than flipping a switch once. We keep HTTPS certificates current, take regular backups so your site can be restored if something goes wrong, watch for problems, and apply the updates that keep it secure. It's the quiet maintenance that means you don't get a nasty surprise — and if something does need attention, a real person is on it, not a ticket in a queue.
- Automatic HTTPS certificates, renewed for you
- Regular backups so your site can be restored
- Monitoring so we catch problems early
- Security and software updates handled
- A real, local person on it — not an overseas ticket queue

Frequently asked
What kind of websites can you host?
Static sites, small-business and local-service sites, portfolios, and landing pages are right in our wheelhouse — the kind of site most people and small businesses actually need. If you're not sure whether your site is a fit, just ask and we'll give you a straight answer, including if we think another host would serve you better.
Where is my website actually hosted?
On servers we own and run right here in central Iowa — not a faceless data center overseas and not a slice of some giant cloud you'll never see. That's the whole point: it's local, it's ours to maintain, and there's a real person behind it you can actually reach.
Do I own my domain and my website?
Yes — always. Your domain is registered in your name, and your website and its files are yours. We handle the technical management, but you're the owner. If you ever want to take it elsewhere, you can, and we'll help you move it cleanly.
Am I locked into a contract?
No lock-in. Hosting is month-to-month, your domain and site stay yours, and there's no proprietary system trapping your work. If it's ever not working for you, you can leave with everything that's yours — no hostage-taking, no exit fees.
What does hosting cost?
It depends on the site and what you need, so we give you an honest, upfront quote rather than a teaser rate that balloons later. Hosting is a straightforward monthly cost, domains renew at their normal registration price, and we tell you what you're paying for before you commit — no surprise renewal hikes.
Can you move my existing website or domain over?
Yes. If you've got a site on another host or a domain registered somewhere you're unhappy with, we can migrate the site and transfer or take over managing the domain, and we'll aim to do it with little or no downtime. You tell us what you've got and we'll map out the move.
What happens if my site has a problem?
We monitor your site and keep it maintained, and because this is a small local setup, a real person — one of the two of us — responds fast when something needs attention, instead of a ticket sitting in a queue. We'll be straight about what we are: a local host built on personal service, ownership, and privacy, which for most small-business and personal sites is exactly the right fit.
