Frequently asked questions

Hosting FAQ's

Web hosting is what makes your website visible online. It’s basically where all your website files live, a bit like renting space on the internet.

When someone types in your domain name (like observed.com.au), your hosting server delivers the website to their screen. Without hosting, your site can't be seen by anyone.

We handle all of that for you – fast, secure hosting that’s carbon-offset and backed by real support if anything ever goes wrong.

Our hosting plans include everything you need to keep your site live, fast, and secure: web hosting, domain management (if needed), business email setup (including Microsoft 365), and support from an actual human who knows your site.

Yes! We perform regular backups to make sure your site can be restored quickly if anything ever goes sideways. If you're on a maintenance plan, backups are even more frequent.

Absolutely. We’ll handle the migration for you, whether you’re coming from another host or DIY setup. We’ll make it as seamless as possible – no stress, and minimal-to-no downtime.

Yes, we can register, manage, and renew your domain for you – so you don’t have to worry about expiry emails or complicated DNS settings.

Yes! We use trusted, secure infrastructure and include SSL certificates for all sites we host. We also keep software up to date and monitor for issues (especially if you're on a maintenance plan).

Maintenance FAQ's

Our care plans are like insurance for your website. We’ll handle software/plugin updates, backups, security monitoring, minor content edits, performance tweaks, and general peace of mind.

If you want your site to stay secure, up to date, and running smoothly without lifting a finger—yes. Websites aren’t "set and forget" anymore, and regular maintenance helps avoid bigger (and more expensive) problems later.

No worries! We can work on an hourly basis for one-off fixes or updates if you’re not on a plan. But ongoing care does come with perks like priority support and bundled time.

Of course – it's your website. If your site’s built on a user-friendly platform like WordPress or Squarespace, we’ll give you access and guidance so you can make changes yourself. But if you’d rather leave it to us, we’re always here.

If you're on a maintenance plan, we’ll usually know before you do—and we’ll fix it fast. If you're not on a plan, we can still help—just give us a call or send an SOS.

Absolutely! If you feel like none of our standard maintenance packages fit your business, then all you need to do is enquire and we will tailor a bespoke package that suits your needs.

We set you up on a recurring payment plan with us. A one-time setup that recurs on a monthly basis. If you would rather set yourself up on a different payment schedule, we can do that too – common schedules are weekly, quarterly, monthly and annually.

Commitment-phobe hey? 

Yes—just for the first three months. We ask for a short commitment up front so we can properly set things up, monitor your site, and give it the care it deserves. After that, you're free to cancel any time, no hard feelings.

We’ve found that the first few months are the most critical for catching issues, fine-tuning performance, and getting things running smoothly—so the lock-in helps us deliver real value. After that, it’s totally flexible.
