Business Site
A dynamic site with a runtime, a database, and somebody watching it.
What this tier is
The difference between a static site and a business site is usually a contact form, an editor who is not a developer, and a database. This tier carries all three: an application runtime, a managed database schema on our data tier, and SMTP credentials so form submissions and notifications leave the building.
It includes a staging hostname on our domain. Point a browser at it, confirm the change, then promote. That single habit prevents most of the incidents we see on sites at this size.
Specification
| Runtime | PHP-FPM or Node, selected at provisioning |
|---|---|
| Memory | 1 GB application memory |
| Storage | 10 GB application and media |
| Database | Managed MariaDB or PostgreSQL schema, 5 GB |
| Outbound mail | Authenticated SMTP relay credentials |
| Environments | Production plus staging hostname |
| Backups | Daily database dump and filesystem snapshot, 14-day retention |
| Domains | 2 primary plus subdomain aliases |
What is included
- PHP-FPM or Node application runtime, your choice at provisioning
- Managed MariaDB or PostgreSQL schema included in the price
- Authenticated SMTP relay credentials for outbound form mail
- Staging hostname with the same runtime as production
- Managed TLS, canonical hostname policy, and redirect handling
- Daily database backup plus daily filesystem snapshot
- Two domains plus subdomain aliases
Typical use cases
- A small business site with a contact form and an editable page or two
- A content platform where non-developers publish
- A brochure site with a booking, quote, or enquiry workflow
- A site being migrated off shared hosting that never quite worked
Responsibility split
Written down so there is no argument about it later.
You handle
- Your application code, theme, or CMS and its plugins
- Content, editorial workflow, and user accounts inside the application
- Testing on staging before asking us to promote
How provisioning works
Operator-provisioned. We confirm runtime choice and database engine by email, stand up production and staging together, and hand over credentials once both respond correctly. Typical turnaround is one business day.
