PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE Joining our managed hosting:
Domain name registration / management
Like with the vast majority of website hosts, you’ll want to keep your domain with Google Domains, GoDaddy, etc.
Additional hands on design customizations
Unless you hire us to do these.
If you’re interested in hands on help, email support@daveyandkrista.com for details.
Email Hosting
We recommend using Google Business mail. Free add-on pagesSuch as the album guide or pricing page. However you can always buy these from the shop and add them on your own. Free subdomains
Each subdomain is an additional $19/month and does not include a free template. Most of our hosting clients choose to incorporate add-on pages as pages of their website instead of separate domains due to cost and ease of updating (one login as opposed to several!)
If you need hosting for a subdomain, email support@daveyandkrista.com and we can send you the details to get that set up.
Free content migration from Squarespace, Wix and a few other platforms.
We need to use a third party application to migrate these blog posts and we’ll pass that cost on to you. That’s something we have to pay for and depending on how many blog posts you have, the price varies. On average, a website with 100 blog posts would be about $70 to migrate.
If you have questions about this, just send your blog post count to support@daveyandkrista.com and we can give you a more accurate estimate!
Please note that this isn’t something we profit off of. We’re passing the hard cost of migrating your posts directly to you.
24/7 Support. Our team is managed by real humans who actively work in the creative industry. While this means we understand exactly how your site was built and can offer premium support, this also means that if you message us at 2am, you likely won’t hear from us until the next morning.
A site that works on WordPress.com, Squarespace or Showit
Free automatic plugin updatesWhile we do offer to update your plugins monthly, we do this for $11/month.
Free Image optimizing
We recommend the WP Optimize plugin to help you go through your website to remove unused images. Be aware that occasionally it doesn’t pick up an image that is being used somewhere and may remove it so if you decide to go through this process, give us a heads up beforehand and we’ll do a backup of your site beforehand. We also recommend Imagify to help size large images down if you forgot to do so before uploading. To optimize images before uploading, check out this video.
Hands on SEO help
Our SEO course will guide you through everything you need to know about optimizing your site for search engines, but the Palm Tree Club does not include any hands on help from us (other than ensuring we’ve done all we can to help your site load quickly!)
One year of premium website hosting
We’ll replace Showit, Squarespace, Bluehost, GoDaddy and other hosts. For this reason, our managed hosting only works with WordPress websites.
Free blog post migration from Showit or WordPress

FAST Managed Hosting
We’ve checked our hosting against the exact same site hosted elsewhere, and ours tend to load significantly faster. If you want to learn why this is vital, listen to this post about search engine optimization.
Help “going live”We’ll hop in and update DNS settings to ensure that your new site is live on the correct domain name (your site’s URL).
Up to 10GB website storage If you’re not sure how large your current site is, check with your current host. If you’re over 10GB, you could run your site through something like WP Optimize before migrating to our server. Or we could put together a custom plan for you to meet your space needs.
