Website Hosting

Web Hosting is such a confusing maze for most people outside the industry. When we first started Watermelon Web Works, we struggled with mass market hosts and wondered how it could be so difficult. We eventually found that we can work most efficiently and make the best use of client resources when we understand the what and why of the underlying server systems extremely well. This choice saves our clients time with configuration, speed, and the ability to do much more with much less. Not to mention avoiding the endless back and forth with support staff.  We can generally accommodate a much wider range of customization and optimization for individual client needs. That’s why we began hosting our client sites in dedicated data centers in 2006 and said goodbye to the incessant problems associated with mass-market shared hosting. Oh and yeah, our servers customized for WordPress are u003cemu003eblazing fastu003c/emu003e.

I am constantly amazed by Watermelons ability to find creative solutions to our complex website needs. Their entire team is professional, smart, thorough and a pleasure to deal with.rnrn-Mike S, Skutt

Specialized hosting services for WordPress sites, leveraging LiteSpeed web servers and integrating with CloudFlare to enhance performance and security.

Web Hosting Services Overview

We offer hosting packages starting at $9.95 per month, including:​

  • 24 / 7 support from experienced engineers
  • Daily backups
  • Corporate-grade firewalls and security software
  • Unlimited data transfer​

Our hosting plans are exclusively available to clients who use our web design services. We also support clients with maintenance services. This ensures a cohesive and optimized experience.

LiteSpeed and CloudFlare Integration

We recommend combining LiteSpeed web server with CloudFlare CDN / network to achieve optimal website performance. LiteSpeed Cache offers server-level caching. This reduces load times. CloudFlare provides a global Content Delivery Network (CDN). It also offers extra security features.

Considerations

  • Exclusive Hosting: Our hosting services are limited to clients who engage in our design and maintenance offerings.
  • Pricing: While our services are best in class, the starting price point is competitive for managed hosting solutions.​

Web Hosting Availability

Note that our web hosting plans are only available to Watermelon Web Works web design and maintenance clients.

Clients experience these issues when dealing with multiple web service companies. They benefit from having only one company answer their questions about hosting, domain, and website design.

If you have any questions about our hosting, domain, and data center solutions, just drop us a line.

Watermelon Web Works has been incredible to work with. They are patient, understanding, and quick to answer any questions (or emergencies) you might have. After switching over to them to help re-vamp our online retail store, we hired them to build our wholesale website as well. I can't recommend them enough - Thank you team!

My previous web developer who I was very happy with retired and I was pretty sad about it because it seems now days it is hard to hire a web developer close by with a good set of skills who is interested in helping small business at reasonable prices. Then I found Watermelon and I have been very happy. They are responsive, are able to solve problems, and work at reasonable prices.

We hired Watermelon to help us with our website. They were very thorough and took the time to explain in layman's terms what they were doing and how we could improve SEO and site functionality. We will definitely be back for future website needs!

Great work and amazing service! We're a non-profit, and our priorities are always focused on maintaining the Astoria Column. We had a website built by someone else a few years ago, but without regular updating and maintenance, sections of our site were no longer functional. Joanna and the rest of the team came in and had everything working within a week and it's been smooth sailing since then!

Watermelon has been a fantastic web development partner. Through every phase of our project they have always been 100% responsive to our requests and have always provided highly knowledgeable, creative, prompt, and personable team members to work with. As a financial institution we’re always concerned about the security and maintenance or our website and Watermelon has always provided the appropriate resources in order to meet and/or exceed our compliance and security requirements. We would surely refer them to any business associates looking for a qualified WordPress web designer in the future. – Denali Federal Credit Union

Watermelon Web Works did a great job creating a custom shopping cart page for our firm. Gavynn in particular was especially helpful and responsive. We appreciated the upfront costs and the technical competency of Watermelon Web Works and would not hesitate to work with the people there again.

I cannot say enough good things about Watermelon. They are terrific communicators, highly competent coders, and really, really nice people. They were instrumental in helping us to assemble a very usable, easily maintainable website for our organization. They' have demonstrated great flexibility in accommodating our evolving needs. They have been highly responsive to any technical issues, typically resolving them in less than 4 hours. Watermelon Web Works will make your organization better, and your CFO/Treasurer will be happy when they see the bill - what more can you ask for?
