Hosting from the Team That Built Your Site

There’s a big difference between generic shared hosting on GoDaddy or Bluehost and managed WordPress hosting from the agency that actually built your site. When something breaks on a site we host, we already know it — its plugins, its theme, its custom code, its quirks. We don’t spend an hour getting oriented. We fix it.

James George has been managing and maintaining WordPress websites for Knoxville businesses since 2003. Every site we host gets the same hands-on attention we put into building it — regular plugin and WordPress core updates, weekly malware scans, security hardening, backup verification, and uptime monitoring.

When you host with us, you get a real person you can call — not a ticket system, not a chatbot, not an offshore support queue. James answers the phone and knows your site. That’s the G Squared difference.

Every new website we build includes the first full year of hosting at no additional charge. After that, our Hosting Only plan renews at just $299/year — one of the most competitive managed WordPress rates you’ll find from a local Knoxville WordPress agency.

What Happens When You Host With Us
Your site goes down at 2am — we're alerted automatically and fix it before most clients notice
A WordPress update breaks a plugin — we catch it before your visitors see an error
A hacker attempts to inject malware — our weekly scans catch and remove it
You accidentally delete something — we restore from the previous week's backup
You need a quick content change — just email or call us
Your SSL expires — we renew it automatically, your site stays on HTTPS

Everything Included in Every Hosting Plan

Not generic shared hosting. Managed WordPress hosting from the team that knows your site.

WordPress Core Updates

Every WordPress core release is applied promptly — tested and verified so updates don't break your site or disrupt your visitors.

Plugin & Theme Updates

Outdated plugins are the #1 cause of WordPress hacks. We keep every plugin and theme current so your site stays secure, fast, and compatible.

Weekly Backups

Your entire site — files and database — backed up weekly and stored securely off-server. If anything goes wrong, we restore to a recent working version.

Weekly Malware Scans

Automated malware scanning runs every week. If anything malicious is detected, we're alerted and take immediate action before it affects your customers or your Google rankings.

Uptime Monitoring

Your site is monitored around the clock. If it goes offline for any reason, we're notified automatically and work to restore service — often before you even know there was a problem.

SSL Certificate

Your SSL certificate is installed, maintained, and renewed automatically — keeping your site on HTTPS, which Google requires for ranking and browsers require for user trust.

Why Managed Agency Hosting Beats Cheap Shared Hosting

Generic shared hosting on GoDaddy, Bluehost, or Namecheap can cost as little as $5–$10 per month. But for a WordPress business website, cheap shared hosting comes with real hidden costs: slower page speeds that hurt your Google rankings, servers shared with thousands of other sites including spammy ones that can get your IP blacklisted, zero WordPress-specific optimization, and support from people who have never seen your site.

When a plugin breaks your site at 11pm before a big meeting, you don’t want to submit a support ticket and wait 48 hours. You want to call the person who built your site and have them fix it. That’s exactly what you get with G Squared Studios managed hosting.

Our managed WordPress hosting is configured specifically for WordPress performance and security. Every site on our hosting gets individual attention — not a shared server environment where your site competes for resources. Combined with our Knoxville SEO services and ongoing WordPress expertise, managed hosting from G Squared Studios gives your site the best possible environment to rank, load fast, and convert visitors into customers.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hosting & Website Maintenance

Common questions before signing up.

Do I have to use G Squared Studios for hosting if they built my site?
No — you can host your site anywhere you choose. However, we strongly recommend keeping your site with us for a few important reasons: we already know your site inside and out, our response time is faster when something breaks, and our managed environment is optimized specifically for WordPress performance and security. Your site, your choice.
Can you host a website you didn’t build?
Yes. We can take over hosting and maintenance for WordPress sites built by other agencies or developers. We’ll do a quick site audit first to assess its health, identify any security issues, and make sure everything is properly configured before migrating it to our managed environment.
What happens if my site goes down?
We monitor uptime continuously. If your site goes offline, we’re alerted immediately and work to restore it — most issues are resolved before you even know there’s a problem. For clients on our Maintain plan, you also have direct phone access to James during business hours for urgent issues.
How is this different from GoDaddy or Bluehost?
Generic shared hosting puts your site on a server with thousands of other sites, with no one watching your specific site. Our managed WordPress hosting is configured specifically for WordPress performance and security, includes weekly backups and malware scans, and most importantly comes with a real person — the same person who built your site — who is accountable for keeping it running.
What if I want to move my site to a different host later?
Your site is yours. We don’t hold sites hostage — if you ever decide to move to a different hosting provider, we’ll provide all your files, database, and credentials and help make the transfer as smooth as possible.
Is hosting included when you build a new website?
Yes — every new website we build at G Squared Studios includes the first full year of managed hosting at no additional charge. After the first year, the plan renews at $299/year for the Hosting Only plan, or you can upgrade to our Maintain monthly plan for ongoing site care, priority support, and 30 minutes of content edits per month.
Do you offer email hosting as well?
Yes — every hosting plan includes 3 email accounts on your domain (e.g. james@yourbusiness.com). Additional email accounts can be added. For businesses that need full Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 integration, we can help configure that as well.
