Getting started is easy, the <strong>Prices from 5\u201310 \u20ac<\/strong> seem attractive and the promises are big: lots of memory, high availability, 24\/7 support. This can be perfectly adequate for small projects or landing pages. It usually only becomes problematic when websites grow or become more customised.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest advantage lies in the <strong>Standardisation<\/strong>. These providers operate huge server structures on which thousands of websites run in parallel. This reduces costs \u2013 but also flexibility. Updates, server configurations or PHP versions are often predefined. For WordPress sites with Divi, WooCommerce or customised plugins, this can quickly lead to <strong>Performance losses or incompatibilities<\/strong> lead.<\/p>\n<p>Another point: <strong>Not all support is the same<\/strong>. There are hotlines, but rarely a fixed contact person. The people at the other end don't know your website and you don't understand the language. If something is broken, you usually have to hire a developer. Monitoring, security checks or SEO-relevant performance optimisation are not included in the scope of services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of large providers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Favourable entry<\/li>\n<li>Simple set-up<\/li>\n<li>Good basis for small, static websites<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You have to buy your URL yourself<\/li>\n<li>Emails are not set up for you<\/li>\n<li>Shared server \u2192 fluctuating performance<\/li>\n<li>No view of your specific website<\/li>\n<li>Maintenance, updates and security remain with you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. developer hosting: when technology becomes part of the strategy<\/h2>\n<p>When hosting via a <strong>Developer or an agency<\/strong> your website is not just \u201esomewhere\u201c, but deliberately in a <strong>supervised environment for 10\u201325 \u20ac<\/strong>. The server is customised to your system: WordPress version, Divi theme, plugins, PHP settings and caching all mesh together perfectly. This has a direct effect on <strong>Loading time, stability and SEO<\/strong> from.<\/p>\n<p>The decisive difference: Your developer <strong>knows your website<\/strong>. He or she knows which plugins are critical, which updates should be tested and where potential vulnerabilities lie. Instead of only reacting when something breaks, the system is regularly checked, updated and optimised. This reduces downtime, security vulnerabilities and stress.<\/p>\n<p>This is a real advantage, especially for entrepreneurs who are not particularly tech-savvy or brands with sensitive content, e.g. from coaches and therapists. Your website is not only online \u2013 it is <strong>supervised &amp; safe<\/strong>. And usually for surprisingly little money, because many developers use shared servers or optimised setups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Typical services for developer hosting<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>URL is purchased in your name<\/li>\n<li>Emails are set up for you<\/li>\n<li>Regular updates (core, theme, plugins)<\/li>\n<li>Safety monitoring<\/li>\n<li>Performance checks<\/li>\n<li>Backups &amp; recovery<\/li>\n<li>Technical contact who knows your setup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. monthly website maintenance: small hours, big impact<\/h2>\n<p>Many developers also offer <strong>Maintenance or care packages<\/strong> on. They usually contain <strong>1\u20132 hours per month for simple work<\/strong> included. Sounds small, but is strategically extremely valuable. Because this time can be used flexibly: small text adjustments, image changes or SEO fine-tuning. The <strong>Costs for this are \u20ac25 upwards<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The great advantage lies in the <strong>Plannability for both sides<\/strong>. You don't have to request, explain and wait for a new quote every time. Your developer has reserved time for you \u2013 and can react if something comes up at short notice. This is worth its weight in gold, especially for the self-employed and NGOs, where campaigns often arise spontaneously.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the inhibition threshold for optimising things decreases. Instead of \u201eIt's not worth it now\u201c, a continuous improvement process is created. And this is precisely what is crucial from an SEO and brand perspective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What monthly care makes possible<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Immediate reactions without extra costs<\/li>\n<li>New projects implemented more quickly<\/li>\n<li>Continuous optimisation instead of individual actions<\/li>\n<li>Less technical legacy<\/li>\n<li>better performance &amp; visibility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Well-established team vs. constantly new contact persons<\/h2>\n<p>A point that is often underestimated: <strong>Changing teams cost money<\/strong>. Every new team has to familiarise itself, understand the website and understand old decisions. This is not efficient \u2013 neither economical nor sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>2budesign therefore works with a <strong>well-rehearsed team<\/strong>. Decisions are made more quickly, problems are recognised earlier and solutions are implemented more appropriately. This not only saves time, but also budget. There are also fewer misunderstandings because there is context \u2013 something that cannot be written into ticket systems.<\/p>\n<p>For value-orientated companies in particular, this <strong>Long-term and trusting cooperation<\/strong> makes sense. That is why we are focussing on solutions 2 and 3 with our developers. Continuity and responsibility are not just buzzwords, but real success factors. Of course, we can also cater to the specific needs of your system on request.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why a fixed setup makes sense<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Less coordination effort<\/li>\n<li>Lower familiarisation costs<\/li>\n<li>Consistent technical decisions<\/li>\n<li>Long-term quality instead of short-term patchwork solutions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_1 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_flex_section\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_1 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--module--divi-text--znhbscuzkl\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Hosting is not a minor matter<\/h3>\n<p>Hosting determines whether your website just exists \u2013 or works.
