Website hosting and security · Marketing

Keep the site online and out of the hands of whoever is scanning for weak ones.

A website sitting on the wrong hosting plan, with an expired SSL certificate or unpatched software, is not a hypothetical risk. It is a matter of when, not if, something goes wrong. Automated scans probe small business sites constantly looking for exactly these weaknesses.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Editorial illustration for Website hosting and security

In one paragraph

Website hosting and security is the management of the server a website runs on: backups, SSL certificates, patching and monitoring against the automated attacks every public site faces. GullySales manages this so there is always someone accountable when the site goes down or comes under attack.

We manage hosting and security as a standing responsibility. That means the right hosting for your site's actual traffic, backups that are actually tested, certificates that renew automatically, and software kept patched against known vulnerabilities.

Our own team keeps a record of who is responsible for every client's hosting and security. That way, a site going down at any hour has someone who can be reached and who already knows the setup, rather than starting from scratch.

The problem

Does this sound like your business?

What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.

  • “The site went down and nobody knew who to call”

    An outage happens and the business discovers that whoever originally set up hosting is no longer reachable or no longer remembers the setup.

  • “A hosting renewal lapsed and took the site offline with it”

    An auto-renewal failed silently, and the site, email or domain went offline without warning until a customer mentioned it.

  • “Nobody has checked in months whether the site can still be hacked”

    Software, plugins and certificates have gone unpatched for so long that known, publicly documented vulnerabilities remain wide open.

What we do

Everything that is included.

Each deliverable, and what it gets you. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Hosting management

    Hosting sized correctly to your site's actual traffic, with renewals and billing tracked so nothing lapses unnoticed.

  2. SSL certificate management

    Certificates kept current and auto-renewing, so the site never shows a security warning to a visitor.

  3. Backups

    Regular, tested backups kept off the live server, so a problem can be undone rather than becoming permanent.

  4. Security patching

    Software, plugins and themes kept updated against known vulnerabilities as patches are released.

  5. Uptime monitoring

    The site checked continuously, with alerts raised the moment it becomes unreachable rather than when a customer happens to notice.

  6. Incident response

    A clear point of contact and process for what happens if the site does go down or shows signs of compromise.

How the result is measured

  • Uptime percentage
  • Backups completed and verified
  • Security patches applied within an agreed window
  • Time to resolve any outage or incident

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Who it is for

This is written for you if these sound familiar.

  • Businesses whose site has gone down before with no clear process for getting it back up
  • Companies unsure who currently manages their hosting or when it was last checked
  • Websites handling customer data or payments that need proper security discipline
  • Businesses whose hosting was set up years ago and never revisited as traffic grew
  • Owners who want one accountable party for hosting rather than a mix of expired accounts

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The site is hosted and managed capably by an existing internal IT team
  • You need the website built first, hosting and security follow once a site exists

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the website hosting and security work runs

  1. 1

    Assess current hosting and security

    We review where the site is currently hosted, how it is secured, and what has been neglected.

  2. 2

    Move or configure hosting correctly

    Hosting is set up or adjusted to suit your site's actual traffic and needs, with billing and renewals tracked centrally.

  3. 3

    Set up backups and monitoring

    Regular backups and uptime monitoring are established so problems are caught and reversible.

  4. 4

    Patch and secure

    Software and plugins are updated to close known vulnerabilities, on an ongoing schedule rather than a one-time fix.

  5. 5

    Respond to incidents

    If an outage or security issue occurs, a defined process and point of contact handle it without delay.

Proof

What happened when owners fixed this.

Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.

All case studies
  • Houzeome Interior Design Studio

    Situation
    A client choosing an interior designer wants to see rooms the studio actually finished. The site showed stock photography, which tells a prospective client nothing about this studio.
    What we did
    • A custom site build
    • The studio's own photography
    • One brand across the site
    • Six project pages
    Result

  • HOPO Hardware

    Situation
    There was no website or online platform of any kind, so nothing showed the products, their features or their technical specifications. A dealer who wanted a specification had to ask for it every time.
    What we did
    • Website and product catalogue
    • Logo and colour palette
    • Printed stationery
    • Social accounts opened
    Result
    No numbers were recorded for this engagement. The work is described in full in the case study.

    • Brand identity for the gas trade
    • A corporate website
    • Social channels set up
    • Google Business page

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

Engagement options

Ways to work with us.

Pick the size of commitment that fits. Every option starts with your brief and a conversation.

  1. Option 1

    The conversation on its own

    A call after you send your brief. It says honestly whether you need outside help, and many fixes are ones your own team can make.

  2. Option 2

    One fix, scoped

    Start with the fix that matters most, such as reply time or follow-up. The fee is in writing before anything starts.

  3. Option 3

    An ongoing programme

    We run the work, report against the baseline, and you renew on the numbers. The term and the reporting are agreed in writing first.

  4. Option 4

    Guidance for your own team or agency

    We plan, brief and check the work of your in-house team or current agency, instead of replacing them.

Your brief

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

What happens if the site goes down at night or on a weekend?
Monitoring alerts our team as soon as the site becomes unreachable, and the same team that manages your account, not a rotating helpdesk, responds.
Do you migrate an existing site to new hosting?
Yes, we can move a site from its current host to a more suitable one without disrupting its availability or its search rankings.
How often are backups taken?
On a schedule agreed to suit how often your site actually changes, kept for a rolling period. A recent, working version is always available if something needs to be undone.
Is this needed if the site is small and simple?
Even a simple site is a target for automated attacks and can go offline from a lapsed renewal. Basic hosting and security discipline is worth having regardless of site size.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
