PageMotor hosting and care
You have read the guide. Want me to take it from here?
Hosting and care for the PageMotor community. For builders and guide-readers who would rather not wrestle a VPS, and would rather it was simply done by the person who does it all day.
This is not a bespoke design commission. That is over here. This is getting a solid PageMotor site live, in your region, and properly looked after.
These two are the ones you choose on this page. The guides are a free place to start; the monthly care that sits behind each build is on its card below. Want a site designed from scratch rather than simply hosted? That is a step up into Commissions.
Same build, same craft. The only real choice is who owns the running of it afterwards. Me, or you.
I hold the keys.
You never touch the server.
For you if you want your site to simply work, and never to think about a server again.
- I own and run a hardened, monitored VPS.
- I am accountable for uptime, updates, backups, security and recovery.
- When something breaks, I fix it. Often you will never know it happened.
- You get a site, not a server to look after.
You hold the keys.
I am your safety net.
For you if you want to own and run your own site, with someone solid standing behind you.
- I build it on Hostinger, in your region, and hand you the keys. You own the account and root outright.
- You get a written handover pack: credentials, runbook, and rollback steps.
- + £25/month Cover: an automated monthly health check, automatic fixes for the known PageMotor failures, and break-glass help when something needs a human.
- You stay in the driving seat day to day.
Which one is you?
| Managed | Self-Managed + Cover | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the server | Me | You |
| Who is accountable at 2am | Me | You, with my safety net under you |
| Who can move or migrate it later | Me, on your say-so | You, any time |
| Monthly care | Full management, £145 | Safety net, £25 |
| Best if you | want it to just work | want to own and run it |
Honestly? Try it yourself first.
I mean it. The guide is complete, it is free, and plenty of people get there on their own. Start with the VPS-versus-shared-hosting post and the Hostinger AI-setup guides. If you get stuck, or you simply decide you would rather not, I will be right here.
Need something bespoke, designed and not just hosted? That is a Launchpad commission, looked after under Autopilot. Different thing, different page.
Questions
What is the difference between this and Autopilot?
Autopilot is ongoing care for a bespoke site I have designed and built for you. Managed and Cover, the two on this page, do the same job for community PageMotor sites. The only real difference is the starting point: Autopilot comes with a site I design from scratch, these come with your PageMotor site.
Can I start on Self-Managed and move to Managed later?
Yes. If owning the server turns out to be more than you bargained for, I will take the keys and run it for you. The door upward is always open.
What does Cover actually do when something breaks?
Most common PageMotor failures are known and scriptable, so Cover catches and fixes those automatically, then re-checks your live site afterwards. For anything outside that, I reach in over a private, retained key and sort it by hand. Best-effort, snapshot-first, with your included incident allowance covering the genuine emergencies.
Which region will my server be in?
Yours. Hostinger has regions across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia, and Cloudflare sits in front so visitors anywhere are served from their nearest edge. You choose the region that suits you.
What is not covered?
On Cover, breakage you cause yourself, something you installed, changed or deleted, is billable rather than covered, and human time is capped per incident. It is best-effort expert support, not a warranty. The full terms come with your handover pack.
